Teochew style steamed Jenahak and a Szechuan veg soup


We rarely have steamed fish as I'm superrrrrrrrr fussy about the freshness , while he cannot stand Chinese wine in his food .
But I wanted a break from deep fried stuff and
so , not wanting to pay a ransom , we walked into Sum Sook where I made it very clear to the order taker , that we wanted no wine in the fish please and left the rest up to fate .

Well it turned out more than right . We loved it !

Steamed with the right amount of Suan chai ( salted mustard greens from China ) , pickled plums , ginger , deep fried garlic and tomatoes , this was done to Perfection for me because the marinade was delicious beyond words ! Those of you  who love your fish just cooked might find fault with Sum Sook's style . Not us . We fought over this to the end till there were no salted vegies or fish meat left for any stray cat !

Minion cereal and drink container - Nestle Koko Krunch


Haven't been trawling the stores for promos for a while since I started having an active lifestyle .
And how I knew that this item was in the market was pretty coincidental .
I saw a lady holding two sets and scurrying off with glee to her shoplot in town .
Thus I began hunting for it ....alas , I spent the whole of today searching high and low but apparently they were all snapped up !

Then just when I was about to give up , he helped me make one round and managed to persuade the merchandiser to give up 2 sets for us from an unopened box .

Wantan mee with a roast platter - Pusat Pengkalan Enam Enam


KL style wantan mee and Ipoh style wantan mee are very closely related .
Whereas Penang wantan mee is completely different from these 2 styles . I prefer the former .
You also should not compare Hong Kong or San Francisco style wantan mee to this . In both megacities , the springy texture of the noodle and taste of the sauces vastly differ from what is found in Ipoh . However , if you love London chinatown style wantan mee , please continue eating it in London and don't try this . I'm serious . 

And it was on a quest for Ipoh roasted meats ( thanks to Hawker Chan hype ) that I found this stall near Station 18 .
We had earlier on purchased a big , beautiful platter in a hawker centre which was so shocking ( for 17 ringgit only , when it looked like it was worth 48 ringgit ! ) I forgot to snap a pic , so what you see here is actually the second plate after we demolished the first plate of wantan mee ( this costs less than 6 ringgit if I am not mistaken ), plus a platter of 4 .... roast pork , roast duck , roast chicken , char siew ( sadly also no picture as proof but it was so well presented , that I almost fainted from shock  ) .

Overnight fix for a muscle pull


Nothing else fixes a sprain or pulled muscle faster than this .

As you can see , I'm down to the last remainder of the oil which I milked last night after suffering from a horrible muscle pull on my outer upper thigh area .
