Dominos Vs Pizza Hut

My family definitely prefers Dominos.



Today Mommy went on cooking strike, so Dominos delivers in less than 30 mins. Was hoping that they would be slightly late, then we got to get a free regular pizza voucher. LOL!!

Here are our choices:

Half Half Crispy Thin Crust Chicken Aloha & Chicken Pepperoni




Tuna Temptation


Banana Kaya Mini Pizza

Penang trip (part 2)

Breakfast at Pulau Tikus


Fun at the beach:

Trip to Penang

Last weekend on 19th April, we were in Penang for a family vacation. It was a Public Holiday for Perakians. We stayed for 3 days 2 nights at a hotel & spend some time doing shopping & jalan -jalan cari makan (went around searching for food). Also took the kids to a nearby beach. My kids granny, aunties & uncles as well as their cousins also went along.

The pictures will speak for themselves.




Kids getting excited & ready to dip into the hotel pool.



Fun in the hotel pool


HAd to wait & queue up for almost 1 hour to taste GUAN's famous APOM.
Will blog about this APOM Guan in detail again in coming posts.


The place we had dinner..but the food is lousy & expensive though has varieties.





Northam Cafe..seafront cafe..nice ambience but food expensive & nothing to shout about though there were great varieties to choose.

Instead I prefer the typical old coffeshop that serve homecook dishes at this place (it was recommended to us by my late daddy..place where normally only locals would knw how to go):














to be continued...

Have you tried claypot vermicelli crab?

Last week a friend from PJ called me to check out a restaurant somewhere in Bercham, Ipoh which has this specialty called Claypot Crab Vermicelli & Claypot Crab rice.

The restaurant is named Kedai Makan Lain Rasa (in chinese it's PAt tong Mei).
One will have to order in advance to avoid disapointment of having no more food to order on arrival especially the house specialty mentioned above besides the fishball with garlic oil, salted egg prawn, lemon grass chicken, , etc.

The shop opens frm 6pm to 11 pm daily. I called about 6pm that Saturday evening to book a table & book the claypot crab vermicelli but made a mistake for not pre-ordering other in house famous dishes thinking there should still be food by the time we arrived around 8.45pm. I was wrong !! Many great dishes were sold out . Well.....

Catch a glimpse of the FINISH product(dishes)...so that you won't need to droooollll so much:


Burp!!!


Dried chilly chicken (to substitute Wu So Kai which was sold out)



Lemon grass sotong (to substitute their in house LaLA which was sold out)




steam fishball with garlic oil



The so called Claypot Crab Vermicelli (the claypot crab rice was not recommended to us because Habis liao (sold out))

How was the food? If u ask me, staying in Ipoh a Food Haven....I don't taste any big deal in the food except that it's unusual & quite pleasant to tastebuds. My kids especially love the fishball. I like the crab vermicelli and will definitely try the claypot crab rice the next time.

Moral of the story..book in advance all the dishes , don't take chance.






Vedict from my gals: Thumbs up...they love the food.
