Restaurant Woo Ng Kee at Taman Ehsan

When we were on the road long time and come back to town and what to eat; don't feel like trying out unknown food quality from new restaurant..it's best to stick to the old and trusty restaurant.

Opps....not really old la but what i mean is the restaurant that have consistent good food.

That's how we ended up at Restaurant Woo Ng Kee , Taman Ehsan. 

 Ordered rice to eat with Claypot Taufu. It's brimming with lovely mushrooms, shrimps and sotong. I love the gravy to go with the rice.

 Mamarazzi loves a good bowl of spinach soup. *wanna be popeye?* Papa got hooked to. wanted to ordered some more but aborted coz don't think can finish it coz we just had half a chicken.

I love the steam chicken especially the skin. Yum... hahaha... that's my fingers there. Photo-bombed Mamarazzi's photo.

If friends come and wanted good food, we would surely recommend this place.

Hong Kee Mah Chee And Peanut Dessert(Fa Sang Wu ) at Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

 You would think after buckets full of rice, we couldn't eat anything more right? Nope, next stop Auntie Claire directed us to this roadside stall Said to have the best Mah Chee/mochi (whatever you pronounce it la.) and also Fa Sang Wu (peanut dessert) in Ipoh.

 The Fa Sang Wu. Thick, creamy and sweet dessert. 

 Getting "manja" with Auntie Claire.

 Next comes the Mah Chee/Mochi. Think it's glutinous rice flour mixed into a dough and then with pounded peanuts added.

 The Boss said the best way to enjoy this Mah Chee is to dip the whole thing into the bowl of sweet Fa Sang wu.

Mmm....mmmm...nmnmnmnmn.....cannot talk liao..... delicious leh. The Boss tarak bluff. 

This stall is located along Jalan Queen in Ipoh. Easy to spot. You just need to see the place where there are loads of cars parked at the roadside, then you know the stall is nearby. Many stopped there to enjoy this sweet dessert. Yums....

 

Golden Rice Bucket 金饭桶饭庄, Ipoh

Enjoying my school holidays at the moment. Mamarazzi haven't found the time to upload the photos yet. But found an old folder of post yet to post up and here is one of them

Last round we went to Ipoh, Auntie Claire brought us to this newly opened restaurant called " Golden Rice Bucket Restaurant"

Let see what is inside this Golden Rice Bucket.

 

Tada!!!!!

 

Steaming warm rice with something inside. Not sure what. herbs? Salted fish? But it tasted real nice

 

The boss kept asking us to eat it with their special sambal . I didn't want. Papa and Mamarazzi did . They said fulamak....syok max leh. It enhanced the taste of the rice . Wonder what is their secret recipe for the sambal.

Apart from that we also ordered their Claypot Ginger Duck. It was pretty good.

Alamak...what's this ah....Something pork. . forgotten the "glamourous" name for it. We ordered small portion just to share and taste hence it looked very little.

This is their signature Taufu. Mamarazzi had this before. Not bad la. 

But for Mamarazzi, this kailan stir fried in wine stole the limelight from all the above dishes.

They put quite a lot of wine into the dish. Plus the ginger. Fuiyo......she loves it. 

For me, I could eat a whole bucket of the Golden Rice without any dishes all by myself. It was that delicious.

 

See! all 4 buckets of rice finito.So clean that the Boss won't need to wash the buckets liao. Next time wanna come to this place again to try out their other dishes. 

Here is the address if you are keen to try out the food here :-

Delicious Hawker Food at Kedai Kopi Woh Heng, Ipoh

 School holidays is here again. Yea yea yea....don't be jealous. We have so many holidays here in Malaysia. 

So where are you heading to this school holiday? North? South? East? West?

I still remember last school holiday we went to Ipoh. Ipoh is another food haven . Cincai tembak aje, you can find good good. That was what we did.

It was Christmas holiday. Those famous restaurants , especially dim sum restaurants were so crowded that there were long queue outside the restaurant. parking? Haiz....no need to think la.

Not sure where to eat, we round and round the town. And spotted a parking space. Wokay...just zoom in la. Look left look right....got what to eat nearby ah? Then spotted this Kedai Kopi Woh Heng. Looks good. Quite and old shoplot and saw a numbers of hawkers stall inside.

 Stepped into the restaurant. Lucky for us, managed to get an empty table. Look left look right. Saw many are eating curry noodles and Kon Low mee. I want Kon Low mee la. Papa also copied me. He want the same too.

The kon Low Mee have mince meat topping and comes with a bowl of meatballs, pork, tofu and vegetable in clear soup too.

Price....really gave Mamarazzi a shock. Less than RM5. Think it was around RM4 or RM4.50 only.

Taste wise, I like it lah. You know I like noodles mah. 

 Mamarazzi opt for their white coffee. Hey not bad. 

 She ordered Curry noodle for herself. Comes with a spoon of lime juice. Yes, it taste good to add this into the noodle or into the spicy sambal.

 Loaded with goodies. Char Siew(BBQ pork), Taufu pok, Cockle and etc. Yummmy....and again it was less than RM5 leh. If in KL ?PJ area, the price would have been nearly double.

Only one thing would make this perfect is that the Taufu Pok is cooked together with the curry instead of just blanch with hot water.But then after soaking into the curry, result is similar la. Nice.

After finishing his plate of Kon Low Mee, while waiting for me to finish mine...Papa spotted a man at the next table having Wan Tan Mee with Spare rib topping. Hmm.....apalagi....order lo one plate for himself. Price....forgotten liao but it's the most expensive of what we ordered that morning....Think it was just around RM5-RM6. Very surprising. With Spare ribs wor...at that price. unbelievable. How the lady get any profit ah?

Mamarazzi said next time will wanna go to this shop again to have their curry mee and to see what else is good there.

FreeMarket at Gombak Setia

Just got to know about this through a friend who is going to this Free Market as a Contributor all the way from another state. This is certainly a good concept. Anyone wishes to join? 

 Here is information gathered from the event Facebook page. One of the organisers, En Syed Azmi, explained the following in the Facebook:-

" Syed Azmi with Mohammad Hafiz and 4 others

25 February at 11:39

 

Inviting all of you! Preliminary announcement. 

Freemarket team (picture here minus one of our hero, Fadly Daud) in a headmaster's room! Facepalm. We do good stuff as hard as we try to be less controversial extraordinaire. Good luck with that! We are cordially inviting you to...

Freemarket PPRT Gombak Setia (Behind LRT Taman Melati)
Date: Sunday, 15th March.
Time: 9am-11am. (Contributors to come at 8am to set up).
Venue: A court, PPRT Gombak Setia. GPS coordinate soon.

Freemarket is a concept of charity and volunteerism with zero cost. Everyone can participate and everyone can actually emulate and do it. How does it work?

As contributors, you can start by looking at things around your house that is still in good condition but no longer NEED. Clean and compile them up nicely. On the FreeMarket day, bring them over and set the things up as if its up for sale like any market (think pasar malam). Since its a free event, normally contributors will bring their own either mat, table or clothing racks if needed. Mat is better.

During your set up, our team members will explain what will happen when the market starts exactly at 9am. When customers starts coming in, they too have been briefed on how this works. They will see and can take anything that they NEED from your table with one condition. They have to ASK nicely for every item that they wish to take, and when you, the contributors say yes, pleasantries will be exchanged with "Thank you" followed by "You're welcome ". If customers take without asking, stop them and explain nicely that is called stealing. If customers takes too many to a point of illogical, you have the right to say no. The items are still own by the contributors and they have the right to decline to whoever customers.

In a nutshell, pleasantries are the currency of trade in that 2 hours.

The contributors have to stay with their items either untill all their items are taken or till 11am where items that are not taken will be taken back home by the seller. Hence this is why we emphasis things that is in good conditions only. This would solved the cleaning up process. Plastic bags are not encouraged.

Ps: clothing items is rather hard to finished. Most other items are quickly grabbed over. Some would finished as early as 17 minutes.

Besides items, services such as haircut are also welcome.

Some would volunteer their time like playing chess with visitors as part of their contribution.

Food are also welcome (cooked or raw).

One new services that you can do is to volunteer your time to bring people in. Let's say in your area you know someone less privileged, you can bring them over to our FreeMarket (be on time) and let them choose. Later, you can send them back. Think orphanage, old folks around your area, neighbours or even your office mates. Everything is free, take what you only need.

This time, I invited anybody to come and be contributors. I also invite as many NGI to open up and you can find out what they do to help others. Its free, no registration (except if you bring food) and just start looking at things.

PPRT are part of government housing project that mostly are low or tight middle income patrons. But we at Freemarket do not discriminate as we open to all in need and not poor only.

For corporates, this time its rather special. Have a shout out to all CSR managers to come and simply visit and observe us what we do. Come over at exactly 8:30am for just an hour. Just 1 hour to observe and see and I bet (InsyaAllah) you would love this free easy to do concept. Please share and tag them please. Its about caring and giving.

So now, there you have it. You yourself should come over if you like. More details coming up.

Chap Goh Mei / Chinese "Valentine" Day 2015

I better brag post about our Chap Goh Mei celebration before it become too stale. Chap Goh Mei is the considered as the last day of Chinese New Year Celebration and also "Chinese Valentine Day".

On this day, if you did have enough of Mandarin Oranges or Bananas to eat..or maybe too stingy  late to buy some...you can always go to the nearby Lake Garden and scoop up some of these fruit. Heard that this only happens in Malaysia. 

Yup...on this day, those single girls will throw mandarin oranges with their phone number written on the oranges into the Lake. The guys who are single or pretend to be single will go and scoop up the Mandarin oranges. And latest trend is that some guys will also throw Banana into the Lake with their phone numbers written there...hmmmmm.....

Nah....I didn't get to join in the fun. Underage and also it was a school night. Instead, we just had boring dinner at home.

 

 

 

 Mamarazzi cooked Soy Sauce Chicken with Wood or was it black fungus. Wokay la...I like the gravy la. 

 Made some assam prawns out of the leftover prawns from the open house . 

 And mixed vegetables out of the steamboat leftover. 

 But lucky me.....

 Uncle Twilight Man gave us a big box of Yee Sang.Thank you very much Twilight Man!

 Supposed to open this box of yee Sang during the Open House but there was just too much food.

Since it was the last day of Chinese New Year, papa said hentam open it up and eat la. 

 Lucky me...I enjoyed it so much....up up and up...must toss high high....the higher the better. I love eating this so much that I asked Mamarazzi whether she can "cook" this again next day but she said cannot. Only available during Chinese New Year...boo hoo hoo....

Another boo hoo is that I had to wash my own school shoes and "paint" them coz Mamarazzi said she is tired of washing them daily. Coz every day I came home from school my school shoes turned gray. She asked what did I do in school. Purposely stepping on my own shoes ka?

Mamarazzi's Last Minute Roast Pork

 This year, Papa very gungho on celebrating Chinese New Year. Borong mandarin oranges la, then some more kept reminding Mamarazzi to buy Chinese Leek and some auspicious vegetable to bring back to Trengganu.

Aiyo....Monday asked Mamarazzi whether can find Roast Pork or not. Alamak....near Chinese New Year leh...Roast Pork price jumping higher that a frog leh.

Wokay la wokay la....Mamarazzi said lets go Jaya Grocer. Bought two strips of Pork belly.

 While on the way home, she google. Aiyak...need wine ah..tarak wine....okay...again her pakai hentam recipe . Looked at various blogs and "agak-agak"(guess) the ingredients la.

Chopped garlic, 5 spices powder, salt and white pepper.

 Boiled the two strips of pork belly to get rid of the smell and also make it easier to poke holes on the skin.

 After that she was like a mad woman used a fork kept poking holes on the top of the skin. The more holes the better it seems. Then rubbed salt on top of the skin. Balance, rub the rest of the ingredients onto the meat.

Put the whole thing into the fridge and let it dry .

 The next morning she woke up 5am and decided to roast the pork. I was having fever the whole night. She can;t sleep. So might as well do something productive , right?

 Aiyak....a bit burnt but....not bad la considering that it's a pakai hentam recipe. The roast pork was a tad too salty . Too much salt but nevermind la ...coz going to stir fry with chinese leek and also to fry noodles..the saltiness won't be felt la.

As for me...the next morning I layu liao lor....fever....so Mamarazzi said okay la...skip school la. Haiz...my teacher sure think that I purposely ponteng school. I was quite worried . But the mamarazzi said go see doctor and get a medica chit so the teacher sure won;t punish me la.
