Pusat Kuih & Kek Khoo Eng Chee, Ipoh

A-la-la-la-la-long ago we went to Ipoh. Was it last year? Hmmm... think so...Mamarazzi found these photos in the blog draft ...some how it's floating there more more than a year.

Wokay, guess it's time to share it. Well....after queuing up for mooncakes for more than an hour at Ming Yue last year, Mamarazzi saw a shop nearby also have quite a number of people. Must be something good there

A bakery...old style bakery. 

Business seems to be pretty good. There was people queueing for the kuihs there. 

They have large varieties of kuih-muih. Hmm...anything you can think off..maybe can find it here.

Mamarazzi bought a bit of this and that. Bought Chai Kuih (vegetable) for Papa. Quite big and a lot of inti.

Some nyonya kuih for herself

And Angku for me.

Mooncakes from Ming Yue Confectionery, Ipoh

 The very next morning, Mamarazzi woke Papa and me up early. Time to go downstairs for the complimentary breakfast provided by the hotel .

Nothing much la there. The usual fare . Could be due to the hotel having full occupancy, the kitchen food were a bit messed up.

Papa took some "Half boiled" eggs, but when he cracked the eggs....it was more of "hard boiled" instead. The yolk were nearly cooked. Adui...

 I created new drink..I named it "Orple Juice". A mixture of apple and orange juice. Had a light breakfast .

Off we went to buy mooncakes from Ming Yue Confectionery. We have been there last year and Mamarazzi love their Mooncakes. It's cheap and at least suit her taste buds.

From what she heard...usually when they started to sell mooncakes, the queue could be a few shops long. And if you re lucky when you come to the head of the line there will be mooncakes left for you to buy.

We arrived there around 9.30am and the queue was two shops long. A lady who was queueing behind of Mamarazzi said she came and buy the day before at 9am but when she got to the front of the queue, many types off mooncakes was out of stock already. Have to wait for the next baking session which some say in the afternoon. 

A glance at the price....no wonder everyone are grabbing moon cakes from here. Where else can you get single yolk mooncakes for less than RM5? Even those sold in Pasar Malam cost more than that leh.

The lady in front of Mamarazzi bought 15 boxes! And it cost her about RM300 plus only! Mamarazzi caught mooncakes borong fever didn't buy much la...just a few only la *blush blush*. The lady in white cap busy counting Mamarazzi's purchases.

 Business very good leh. Saw the old lady and the man busy folding the boxes for the shop to use. 

Jeng! Jeng! Our Mooncakes.....a bit only la. Last year Mamarazzi only managed to get Red Bean Paste and Lotus Paste mooncakes as they ran out of others. This year, as she was early, she managed to grab the ones she wanted. Bought red bean paste mooncakes, lotus paste single yolk, pandan lotus paste single yolk mooncake and mixed nuts mooncakes only la.

Papa asked why never buy 4 yolks mooncakes. Mamarazzi was like "HUH?" eat yolk only ka? But now come to think of it...since the double yolk mooncakes is less than RM6..she should have bought those instead leh. Adui.....

When she cut the Single Yolk Lotus Paste mooncakes she was so surprised. She thought she took the wrong ones instead. Took mixed nuts one ka? Wah.....so generous with the melon seeds leh.

Papa said the mooncakes taste good. Not that sweet. Just nice. Would be perfect if they would roast the melon seeds first as it would be more aromatic.

Mamarazzi also cut open her Red Bean paste mooncakes. Wah....also a lot of melon seeds in it. She loves mooncakes with a lot of melon seeds. She said taste just right for her. Should have bought more.

Be there early and be prepare with Plan A , Plan B and Plan C just in case they ran out of the ones you wanted. Don't waste time but choosing only when you come to the front of the queue.

Mochi Shopping at Big Thumb Cake House, Sibu

Don't know how did it went about that we came to this place but certainly I did not regret it. 

Wah...just finished 2nd breakfast, still wanna eat some more? So many buns and things here leh. 

Someone said this place is famous for their mochi. Auntie Quay Po Cooks bought a packet and opened it for us to try.

Mmm...I liked it very much. Eeee...I spotted Angry Bird Cake. Too bad it's not for sale.

After "borong-ing", we head back to the Hotel as Auntie Quay Po Cooks and her bestie were flying home in the afternoon.

These were just some of the stuffs that we borong-ed.

Mamarazzi spotted these mini mochi in the fridge at the Big Thumb and bought a packet for me. RM6.20. There are four flavour...red bean, lotus paste, peanut and pandan.

Hmm... which one to choose first leh?

Mmm...can't decide which one I like best.

Mamarazzi said am greedy and getting big headed. No lah...am only getting Big Foot mah...See..I can even wear Papa's shoes liao.

Kompia Making at Seng Wan Bakery, Rejang Park, Sibu

The next morning Uncle Arthur came to our hotel very early to bring us see people making Kompia

The shop is called Seng Wan Bakery located opposite a market at Rejang Park. Interesting looking chicken.

Alamak..am too short. Can't see lah...

Papa..Papa...you are very tall and strong oh....

Go there! Nearer....I wanna see..

 Hmmm it's like Roti Tempayan. They make the dough then shape it.

 Then they paste it on the wall of the wall of the "crock pot". They still use Charcoal to heat the "crock pot"

When it's done, the Uncle took the Kompia out from the Crock Pot using a stick and a net sort of instrument.

 

MMmm...fresh from the pot.

 Put into a basket to cool down. The ones with Sesame Seeds are salty

 WHile those without, are sweet. Mamarazzi preferred the sweet ones. Taste so GOOD when dipped into hot Kopi O.

 

 On the way to our car, we spotted this. Uncle Arthur bought some for us to taste.

 

It's called Tee Piang. It's made of Soya Bean Pulp according to Uncle Arthur.

But I was too excited to finish the whole piece coz our next destination is our "first" breakfast of the day. Yup...you heard me right coz there was a second breakfast. 

While in Sibu, we practically ate each meal twice.

Tong Kee Brothers Confectionery Swiss Rolls

We went down town last week. Arrived at Pudu saw a Tong Kee Brothers Confectionery Shop.

(recycled Photo)

Knowing my love for Tong Kee Egg Tarts, Papa stopped the car. Mamarazzi and I got out and bought some egg tarts.

While she was there, she noticed that they have Swiss Rolls that looked very similar to those of JJ Cakes & Swiss Rolls. 

She bought a roll for RM8. If not mistaken, it's called Wholemeal Swiss Rolls.

Came home and had an "Opening Ceremony".  

Well, it did not disappoints Mamarazzi. Taste good and in "middle" layer they put in some nuts. Just a tad sweet for Mamarazzi. Otherwise it would be perfect. But I ate, I don't feel it's that sweet wor. Different taste buds gua.

Saw they have others flavour like Green tea and Bamboo Charcoal too. Hope in the future they will come up with fruits and vegetables Swiss Rolls as well, just like those from JJ.

Bedtime Stories And Prayers By Enid Blyton- The Boy With The Loaves And Fishes

Hmm...only 10 biji of buns.


Enough to feed a crowd or not ah?

What crowd? Of course not the Balik Kampung Gang la. The crowd in Enid Blyton's book.

According to the story there was once a small boy (younger than me?) who went fishing. He caught two small fishes.

He went home and his mom pickled the fishes for him to eat the next day. Hmm.. I wonder why pickle. Guess maybe coz they don't have fridge back then gua.

Well, the next day came and he saw there was a great crowd in the country road that ran around the lake. He found out that a wonderful man called Jesus is coming to heal the people and do many great things.

He begged his mom to let him join the crowd. His mom prepared a small basket for him. There she put his two small pickled fishes and five small loaves.

And off he went.

Soon he come upon the wonderful man. He was listened to Jesus stories till he forgot about everything

When evening come, Jesus saw that people are hungry and tired. He was sad. He sent out his disciples to the crowd asking if anyone have any food to spare

The little boy remembered his untouched basket of food and he timidly went to the nearest disciple and offer his basket. The disciple brought him to Jesus. Jesus smiled and said "Thank you, it's just what I need"

Jesus asked everyone to sit around in small group. Then he looked up to the sky and blessed the food. He called his disciples to come and fetch the food and loaves. Surprisingly, it was enough to feed everyone.

The little boy was so happy for he caught the fishes that everyone was eating and his mom baked the loves. Jesus took them and performed a miracle with them

oh...what a story it was....

Berry's Neighbour Baker's Inn Siew Pau

The other day, my Nutrigen stock and Orange for juicing stock was getting very low. Gosh..what to do leh? The Mini Market nearby doesn't carry Orange for juicing and pasar malam is a week away. Nutrigen stock were also of doubtful expiry date.
