Redang Station No 15 @ Sekinchan.

A two hours drive to Sekinchan turned into an extra hour because
of the drizzling rain.

The sky open up when we about to reach there.

Vast tract of green Padi (rice) fields and fruits stall greeted us on both 
sides of the road.

A left turn at the town's main traffic junction led us to Bagan,
another right turn takes us to Redang Station 15.

A rickety makeshift plank platform extended out to the river,
with just three wooden tables bounded with black and white linoleum plastic
sheets which added some contrast to the place. Fishing nets as wall partition.

The shirtless owner cum cook Ah Chuan took our orders and
told us his seafood are only steamed to retains it's freshness and 
sweetness while the oysters are freshly shucked.

The sauces are light soy sauce and homemade red chillies in vinegar.

The meal was very satisfying, "ching" and full of natural, fresh and sweet flavors.

Seafood at it's best !

The only funny thing is, he serves us the shucked fresh oysters last.

The entrance.

Steamed Mantis prawn.

Springy fish balls.

Lala in a sliced ginger and red Bird's eyes chillies soup-slurpped to the last drop!

Steamed Flower crabs-fine texture and sweet meat.

Steamed Sea Prawns-big sized -full freshness and succulent with every bite.

Seven Star Grouper fish-steamed to perfection with just chopped garlic and chillies in light soy sauce.

Freshly shucked oysters-just squeezed the lime juice and eat it.

Fried Maggi mee noodle with canned braised cubed pork and sliced sea prawn-the only dish that was fried.

Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain@Bercham,Ipoh.

I can still remember the variety of dishes that we had for dinner @Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain
a year ago.

Another invitation by my niece Huey Ling and her hubby to join them for dinner there
could not be missed.

We reached at about six pm and a slight drizzle was good and welcome on a hot and humid night.

I was told that the boss only served the freshest fishes and crustaceans which he stocked
up daily.

All in we ordered six of their signature dishes plus a deep fried dry brinjal, enough to feed seven hungry adults.

The food was exceptionally fresh and delicious and our favorite was those outstanding big steamed springy fish balls. 

Parking is ample.

Dim Sum @ Kedai Kopi Hup Seng Hin.

Kedai Kopi Hup Seng Hin is located near a bustling wet and dry market.

Many husbands will sit and hang around the many strategically located kedai kopi (coffee shops) to enjoy a hot or cold drink while waiting for their wife to do the marketing.

For the two of us it was after our morning exercise.

A good time to rest our weary legs and eat some dim sum with a hot pot of Pu'er tea for breakfast.

Here the dim sum are freshly hand made daily and served piping hot.

Some tasted average but we particularly like their deep fried wanton, wu kok (deep fried yam pastry) and tai pao.

Parking is bearable.

Chen Hanwei @ Restoran Onn Kee (Tauge Ayam) Ipoh.

 Guest Post by Michelle.

Restoran Onn Kee (Tauge Ayam) Ipoh is a landmark chicken rice shop in Ipoh city, Perak.
It was the second day of the CNY festival and business was brisk and chaotic with a riot of hungry people waiting to be served and seated.

Next door neighbor Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong was packed to the brim with tables spilling out into the sidewalk.

After shopping for our Valentine Day's gifts, we headed there for lunch and as usual parking was horrible ! 

While we were enjoying the meal, Samantha spotted that Singaporean popular male actor Chen Hanwei and his family were seated at a table next to us. 
She was like wah ! so lucky.

After the meal, we approached him for a group photo and we were so happy when he obliged.

On the way to Ipoh city, Perak (beautiful limestone hill formation)

Busy but with full concentration-chopping up the poached chicken.

One whole poached chicken-nicely chopped-garnished with red chillies and spring onion in a superior sweet soy sauce/sesame oil-tender but firm chicken meat-Rm40/

Blanched Beansprouts-fresh, crunchy and sweet.

Bouncy meat balls and springy fish balls.

Smooth flat white rice noodle in a tasty chicken broth.

Thumbs up of approval for a good meal.
