Dim Sum Delight

Dim Sum is one of the traditional breakfast of Chinese people. It is also a favourite of mine. Luckily, in Ipoh, we have a many Dim Sum restaurants to choose from. The most famous one is , of course, Foh San Restaurant. Other well-known ones ( to me)  are Ming Court, Sun Kok Kei and Yoke Fook Moon.

Today I tried something different. I went to Glamour Square in Bercham. There's this Dim Sum restaurant called 10 Delight Dim Sum . It has different concept of serving for its customers. I feel that this concept suit those who wanted to try all kinds of dim sum and they are alone or small group of twos or threes. They even have free WiFi access here.

One look at the menu show the Dim Sums are priced at around RM0.70 to RM1.50 per piece. There were three of us, so I ordered 2 to 3 pieces of a few varieties, totalling to more than 10 pieces. We were told by the owner that we get a free teapot of Chinese tea of our choice. F.O.C,  sure want lah!

This is my F.O.C. Pot of Heong Pin  and a plate of "Wu Kok" ( RM1.10 per piece). Very crunchy on the outside but the the ingredients are too "blend" for my taste. ( Ingredients inside seems to be blended together, couldn't find a single pea)

 The " Loh Mai Kei" is OK though. The price is RM2.80.

 Last but not least, my BIG basket of Dim Sum consisting of 3 "Har Gau" aka Prawn Dumplings ", 3 Crab Fillet Dumplings, 2 Fishball and 3 "Siew Mai" aka Pork Dumpling. Taste-wise, hmmmmm... Ok.K.kkk la. Price RM1.00 to RM1.50. My total bill comes up to RM22.00 for a group of three.

Overall, sitting here on a early morning with a few Dim Sum and a cup of tea (plus a notebook) can be a relaxing way to start a new day. At least, you don't have to stuff 3-of-a-kind Dim Sum for every variety into your stomach.

Here's the view from I was sitting :-

No Hatyai, Got Malacca...

Malacca, a historical city. One of my favourite history lessons in my school days. Counting this trip, I have been there 3 times AND  twice, the trip includes a stay at the A'Famosa Resort. If it was not  a trip organised by my hubby's company, I would consider only as my last choice for a holiday. The only regret was i didn't get a chance to see Cowboy Town Carnival. Since fate has a hand in my holiday plans, I make it a point that it will be on my main agenda.

The trip was scheduled on the first day of the long school holidays. As it was group of 26 people, a guide was coming with us to organise everything. On the morning we reached Malacca, we went to the temple where the well of Hang Li Po was located. Nothing much to see but something worth mentioning was the guide told us to buy the small battery-operated fans (RM3 to RM4 each). He says if we were to buy it at the A'Famosa Resort, it's cost us RM10 each ( I discovered the fans at A'Famosa have different designs and gimmicks though but for the same purpose, to fan ourselves!!).

Second stop, Stadthuys of course! This is Jeslyn ( her second time at Stadthuys) and the A'Famosa..of course! the outstanding transport of Malacca...

The Eye Of Malaysia... a real deal.  Only RM8 for adult (20% discount for group) and some more  7 rounds..haha!

A walk through Jonker Street to the Ching Hoon Teng Temple.

After half a day in the city, we proceeded to A'Famosa Resort. Unluckily for me, my camera's battery exhausted(also stupid of me not bringing my charger along)  and I only managed to capture a few pictures with my handphone.

For Jeslyn and Jason, they had real fun at the A'Famosa's Cowboy Town at night and the Safari in the morning. The next morning was fully fislled with hows and  by the time we finish all the shows, it was already 3:30pm. From there on , it's journey back to Ipoh. After this trip, I thought I should not have any other destinations in Malacca that I would like to come back for a visit BUT was I wrong.... I WANNA GO BACK for a walk through Jonker Street at night.... Till then, bye-bye Malacca ( not for long, I think).
