I just realised if you stop by Ipoh, it is a must to have tau fu fah. My friend recommended me Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah at Jalan Theatre Ipoh. It is near by Foh San tim sum, along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar.

Funny Mountain has been there since 1950-s. I bet it is family business running down from generation to generation.

The tau fu fah is so smooth and sweet. I can simply die for it. My friend keep asking me if I would like to have another bowl since I keep on praising the tau fu fah is the best tau fu fah I ever tried.

Since 1952

Kan and I make a last minute move to go all the way down to Ipoh today to have Tim Sum. It might sounds a little bit crazy but it’s pretty common among the Penangites.

I dragged myself out from the bed at 6am plus and we departed to Ipoh at 7.15am. The journey was quite short and fast because we did a lot of crap talk and gossiping about everything under the sun.

Foh San Tim Sum wasn’t that difficult to find. Our lead mark was Jalan Leong Sin Nam. I was surprised when I saw Foh San restaurant today because the last time I visited 5 years ago it was still a small shop lot?!

Now it looks like a big giant standing infront of me.

It was very crowded in Foh San Restaurant. Some are not Ipoh locals visiting the restaurant. We have to wait for a while before we actually get our seat.

Crowded Saturday morning

Last but not least, when we reached our car park, a big surprise was waiting for us. Hallo…is that a summon?
We got a summon for not placing the ticket at the car park because we didn’t know where to buy the parking ticket.

Sad case.

And we didn’t even know where to pay the ticket…Lol.

Majlis Perbandaran Ipoh

Today I walked off from the office around 7pm and it was hectic jam all the way at Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone. Feeling tired and wanting to go home fast, I overtake the car in front of me. It was almost near the traffic light. The next thing I know was a policeman was there and stopped my car.

He told me that I was potong Q and start to take out his note to issue me summon. I wanted to tell him that he is ridiculous but then again I was so tired that I wouldn’t want to waste any time arguing with him. So I asked him to discount for me and he said if you pay at the police station, the most they will discount you is only about RM100, unless I’m the person who is offering you the discount.

I already know that he wanted me to bribe him so I told him I got only RM50 that’s all. He asked me to put the money under my IC and pass it to him. He said he can’t make it so obvious to take my money later other people will see.

Oh well, Malaysian policemen….How to respect them la?!

Nesvita honey for breakfast, Nesvita honey for lunch.

Nesvita honey for dinner again….can lose weight la like that…

24hrs sudden goodfriend

Bday has passed. One year older and one year wiser.

Bday presents

New kids to the group

I’m adding teddies to my bears collections. Never know why but people tend to give teddy bears to me. Maybe I look like a never grown up kid. Perhaps.

Don’t you think I just have more than enough bears at home?

Teddies at home

My biggest collection is Mr Bear standing at 5″ 5′ and that’s taller than me costing more than 700 bucks. Of course I don’t buy it myself. Would have spend that amount of money on something else.

I got a small globe from a thoughtful friend. She was telling me that globe stands for power and authority. Wishing me to be successful at work. I’ll surely thank her if I manage to get bigger pay for my end of year increment.

World globe

And I have got this beautiful towel that I sayang want to use. It is so cute that I think I will end up displaying it instead.

Cute rite?

I couldn’t believe to receive a Birthday Music Card as well. It has been ages since the last time I actually receive a music card. Been years and I never thought that people actually still buying music card. Anyway, it’s great.

Card that can actually sings

And something I have been longing for….

We have Domino’s on the weekends since Oscar was around. Ozzie came along too. Both of them loves to play with each other. Mylo was just sitting under the dining table and watching the two of them playing. They are more like doing each other rather than playing. Dogs.

Domino Pizza Krystal Point

The cheessiieeerrr the better

We went to take away the pizza at the outlet in Krystal Point. Add additional cheese onto the pizza…the cheesier the better. Which means become fatter in another word.

Tempting

My friends brought along some salad too. Own home made salad, taste quite good eventhough I am not the salad type of person.

The best part the kiddie dogs have their own share too.

Dinner time

Enjoying himself after eating

And my friend here is happy after dinner.

Now is the durian season. So I am having durian fest at home.
All by myself with the durians. Yes, my baby durians. For the past 6 weekends, durians big or small have been flooding my house. And I like it so much.

It’s steamboat weekends again. Big Baby got a craze for steamboat recently, especially the Lamize Sichuan soup steamboat. This is the third time we are going to Lamize for steamboat. The first round was at town but it was quite far away from our place. So we headed to Krystal Point where there is another Lamize branch.

Crowd enjoying the steamboat

There are quite a lot of people this weekends. People seems to enjoy having steamboat even though it’s not Chinese New Year. Usually I have steamboat only during Chinese New Year and during that period, I would say Mom would have make 3-4 rounds of steamboat just for the relatives.

This round in Lamize Restaurant, we are much smarter to choose a room to have our steamboat. The last round we choose table for 2, the table was small as we are facing each other and at the end we have the steamboat boiling and the boiled soup hit our hands.

Two kids playing hide and seek outside the rooms

Rooms for customers

I would prefer to have steamboat in the room as there is one air-conditioner in the room. At least I don’t have to sweat it out and feeling hot during our steamboat session.

Food coming..yeay!

Finally our food is here. I realize all the waiters in Lamize can speak Mandarin language. I wonder where the restaurant owner get them. Does the owner train them up or they can speak the language before they look for the job?!
Amazing though…to have Vietnamese, Burmese or Indonesian (do not really know their race) speaking Mandarin to me.

My favourite food

A must to have

Tomyam & Si Chuan taste

I find myself doing better each time I go for steamboat. I specifically order the dishes I love so that the rest of the food do not go wasted. Prawns, fish ball and crab meat sticks definitely A MUST TO HAVE!

Everyone has left

Big Baby and I have lost count of time since we are sitting in the room. We didn’t realise everyone has already left. By the time we finish, we were the only couples left in the restaurant. Feel pai seh have to make the waiters wait for us.

Big Baby at the counter

Perhaps next time we should really sit outside instead of sitting in the room. Afterall we have closed the room door because we want the air-con to feel cold. It was a good dinner though, because I have tomyam steamboat!

Mylo always love weekends. He knows when is his bathing time. I am sure he would like to have a fresh bath after a whole long week stinks. He knows how to go in the bathroom himself and asking for a bath.

He just climbed to the top of the toilet sit and wait there while the water flush down on him.

After the 15 min bath, Mylo got his fur trimmed. Usually he will go to the pet shop for grooming. It costs me around RM65-Rm80 depending on which pet shop he goes to. Anyway I feel like doing the grooming myself nowadays, to save cost and money of course.

So this is how Mylo looks like before and after trim.

Mylo after grooming

I think I can become dog barber already. After all don’t you think I do a good job?
He looks just like after professional grooming from the shop. I guess I will just cut his hair the next round it grows rather than spending money at the dog shop.

Tomorrow is Monday. Today is the last rest day for me, as usual, I don’t really fancy Sundays these days.

I don't FANCY SUNDAY mood

Big Baby proposed to have steamboat for dinner today at Nagore Road Penang. The last time I remembered having steamboat was during Chinese New Year with my family.

Spicy Girl Restaurant

We went to Spicy Girl Restaurant. The owner seems to come from China and opened a restaurant here, however how true is that I am not very sure.

Inside Spicy Girl Restaurant

We went to for steamboat at around 6 in the evening. So there wasn’t anyone as it was too early for dinner. Big Baby and I got a room for ourselves in the restaurant. The best thing in the room is that there is even a toilet inside!

Food ordering from the menu

Little small toilet inside the room

I went out to search for the bathroom while Big Baby ordered the food. When I asked the waitress she was telling me there is a toilet inside the room I was in just now. I find it different to have a toilet inside the room I am eating. The toilet is small and fully occupy and due to lack of space, they even have place the sink just right on top of the toilet bowl!

Dishes need to be order

The dishes for the steamboat need to be order specifically. Usually the ones I have is the steamboat buffet where we can pick the dishes place infront of the counter.

Ready to eat!

The price is only RM40 plus for 2 person. So it’s about RM20 per pax.

For steamboat buffet, you can eat anything you want and as much as you want for RM20 per pax. So in my opinion, going for steamboat buffet is much more worth it but sometimes for a change of environment and style, you might want to try Spicy Girl Restaurant.
