City Daily Photo Theme Day Oct 2011 - Mystery Object



Today is City Daily Photo's theme day for October 2011. The theme is Mystery Object.

The mystery hanging objects are called "Buddha's Hands". Have you heard of Citron fruits?

I like the citron tea, "yujacha" (柚子茶) served at a Korean Barbecue Restaurant here.

Citron fruits are produced from a small tree, the scientific name of the tree is Citrus medica. The fruits are usually oval to rounded in shape and turn from green to a golden yellow when riped. Those pictured above are extreme forms when the fruits become divided into fingers called "fingered citron" or "Buddha's hand citron".

The citron was already cultivated in Mesopotamia before 500BC.

 To read more about Buddha's hands, click here.

These items are for sale at Chin Pomelo Farm, the place I photographed them. You can also view a specimen tree at the Secret Garden of 1-Utama, Petaling Jaya. I have seen the rounded fruits as well as fingered citron there.

Penang Here We come!

It was 'blue skies and everything nice' when we started our journey from Ipoh to Penang.
The journey of 159km will take us about 2 hrs.

We are travelling along the 800m long Menora Tunnel near Jelapang. It was the longest highway tunnel in Malaysia when it was completed.


While hubby was busy driving on the road, we got to enjoy the scenic views along the expressway. When he got tired and stiff, our DDS (darling daughter and son) provided some relief with their shoulder and neck massages. But actually, most of the time, they were fast asleep!



We are crossing the Perak River along the 300m long Sultan Azlan Shah Bridge. This is the longest bridge on the PLUS highway.

Crossing the Perak River.


Our very own Hutan Hujan Khatulistiwa or Tropical Equatorial Rainforest. Here we are 5 km from Kuala Kangsar town, the royal town of Perak state.

All photos are taken from a moving car by the co-pilot who helped in the navigation.

Foh San Dim Sum Ipoh - Day 2

Early morning the next day, we were already out in the streets. Our next destination was Penang and we were eager to start our journey. However, there is something that needs to be done first. We need to fill up our empty stomachs, so off we went for some famous Ipoh dim sum.

The weather looks fine with bright blue skies. Those wispy cirrus clouds above remind me of fish scales.

Actually, there are a few more dim sum restaurants along this road. Our family calls it the 'Dim Sum Street'. The other dim sum restaurants along this street are Ming Court Hong Kong Dim Sum, Chee Fatt Hong Kong Dim Sum, Chang Keong Dim Sum and Yoke Fook Moon. All are worth a try and in fact, Ming Court is a close contender for Foh San. My late father love to go to Ming Court.

The Hua Nam coffee shop which serves coffee, eggs on toast, char koay teow, chee cheong fun and other hawker fare is also located at Jalan Leong Sin Nam.



Foh San is operating at its new premises at no. 51, Jalan Leong Sin Nam now. The building is quite awesome and majestic looking. There were already many people when we reached there at around 8 am and the ground floor tables were already fully occupied. The second floor was still okay. In fact the view was better. I like the ambience and the clean and cool surroundings.  We sat near a waterfall where we could enjoy the scenic outdoor views while having our 'yum cha'.

'Yum Cha' (drinking tea) or 'Yum Cho Cha' (drinking early morning tea) are Cantonese words commonly used in Hong Kong where people drink Chinese tea while enjoying dim sum for breakfast. We can select the type of tea we want, e.g. chrysanthemum, ti kuan yin, du shu xiang, jasmine, oolong, pu erh or cha wang (teh raja or King's tea). I think their cha wang tea tastes better than the one I had at Bao Xiang Bah Kut Teh in Klang but it is a bit pricey at RM 4.00 per head.


Waiters will come is pushcarts and trolleys that are laden with piping hot dim sum and we get to select those that we like. On the table is lo mai kai (glutinuous rice), egg tarts, har gow (shrimp dumplings), steamed fish balls and siu mai (pork dumplings).

This is surely instant fast food!


Hubby's favourite is the 'tai ji gow' (scallop dumpling) but it was not available. This substitude tastes just as heavenly. This steamed 'wrap' with mushrooms and minced meat is topped with toasted sesame seeds, a little bit of spring onions and light soya sauce. If the soya sauce is not good, it will spoil the whole dish.


My son like this 'Beijing gow ji' but I don't like the sweet chili sauce topping that they have automatically added. I prefer it plain.


“Foh San Dim Sum Ipoh - Day 2”, a copyrighted post, was written for Klang, Malaysia Daily Photo blog by Autumn Belle @ http://mymalaysiadailyphoto.blogspot.com/ on December 18th, 2010.



I like this lo mai kai which is actually steamed glutinuous rice with chicken, mushrooms, Chinese sausages and dried shrimps. It is not too oily.



This is stir fried turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) or 'lo bak go' with Ipoh bean sprouts. Turnip cake is sometimes also called Chinese radish cake or daikon cake.


This dessert of water chestnut cake is my daughter's favourite dessert.


Steamed custard, another of my daughter's favourite but too heavy for me.

The dim sum we had costs about RM 3.50 to RM 5.50 per container. Pau, fish balls and egg tarts are charged at RM 1.60 per piece. Our total bill came to about RM 60.00


If still not enough, here's another option - dim sum takeaway.

Gone are the old days where we had to reach there as early as possible, i.e. from 6:30 am to 8:00 am, otherwise there would be no tables left. I still remember when we had to stand and wait next to people enjoying their breakfast. Even when we could find a table, food was late to arrive and some of us had to search for the dim sum trolleys and grab our own selection. The place was so crowded and noisy that sometimes, things got out of hand and there would be arguements and black faces. What a stressful way it was to start the day.

I like Foh San's new image and surroundings. The food tastes better and it is less oily. By the time we left this place, we were so full we could hardly walk straight!

All Inn Cafe - Ipoh Stopover Day 1


After having my lunch at Kong Heng Coffee Shop, it was time for some tong sui and dessert. Kafe All Inn is located opposite Kong Heng. It is the corner shop from accross the road.


Eventhough I was already full after my lunch at Kong Heng, I guess my stomach still has room for this delicious looking kuih. The red-green-yellow kuih is actually sago with dessicated coconut while the layered one in the background is black sesame kuih with coconut milk. I like kuih with pandan and coconut flavour.

“All Inn Cafe - Ipoh Stopover Day 1”, a copyrighted post, was written for Klang, Malaysia Daily Photo blog by Autumn Belle @ http://mymalaysiadailyphoto.blogspot.com/ on December 14th, 2010.


Leng Chee Kang tong sui with lotus seeds, barley, gingko nuts, snow fungus, dried longan flesh, dates and a quail egg. Some like it hot but I love it with ice cubes.


This is Sai Mai Lo with water melon, yellow jelly, sago and tapioca pearls swimming in evaporated milk and coconut milk. Of course the base is pandan flavoured sugar water. A very cool and refreshing drink when some ice cubes are added.

Other deserts available at All Inn Cafe are:

  • Bo Bo Cha Cha
  • black glutinous rice
  • Barley with soy bean curd and red bean
  • Sago with fruits
  • Aloe vera with dates and longan
  • Guillinggao (turtle jelly) with red bean (their bestseller)
  • Pumpkin with yam

They offer about 50 varieties of desserts but only 10 are available at any one day, a different selection every day. Besdes dessert drinks, All Inn Cafe also sells curry noodles, fried noodles, Hakka noodles, glutinuous rice with kaya and nasi lemak. They are opened from 7:30am to 4pm daily but closed on the last Friday to Sunday of each month.

Ipoh is famous for tong sui. We like to take tong sui because we believe that it is good for the complexion. Where else in Malaysia can we get good tong sui? Do let me know. 

Besides Kafe All Inn, tong sui is also available at a few other places such as:

a) "Tong Sui Kai" at Church Street, Off Jalan Sultan Idris and in front of Sam Tet School.
b) Macy Restaurant beside the overhead highway bridge in Ipoh Garden East
c) Sin Hong Kee at Cowan Street (previously from Tong Sui Kai).

Therefore when you come to Ipoh, don't miss out on the tong sui!

Kong Heng Coffee Shop - Ipoh Stopover Day 1


Early this week I went on an inland motor tour, which is a family trip up north to Penang island. As I was on the front passenger seat, I get to enjoy the greenery and scenic views of palm oil plantations, limestone hills, blue mountains and tropical rainforest jungles along the PLUS highway. PLUS stands for Project Leburaya Utara Selatan or North-South Expressway. I am so glad to be far away from the concrete jungles of the city for a short while.

We were already thinking about food when we reached Ipoh town. We planned to stay the first night in Ipoh. The journey from Klang to Ipoh took us 2.5 hours for a distance of 214 km.


Whenever I come back to Ipoh for hawker food, the first place I want to go to is the Kong Heng Coffee Shop (光兴茶室). It is located at no. 75, Jalan Bandar Timah, Old Town, Ipoh, Perak.

I have come here many times, since I was a kid. I heard that this coffee shop has been around in this pre-war building since the 60s. The first generation hawkers were very fast, efficient anenthusiastic. Just as you are sitting down, many of them would come at once to your table and persuade you to order their food. It might get overwhelming sometimes. They would shout out our orders of food and drinks. They were friendly and knew their regular customers by name, sometimes joining them at their tables and chit-chatting with the patrons while they were busily enjoying the delicious food. Delivery was very very fast too. While some stalls are into the second generation proprietors now, service is still good and friendly and much of the charm remains. Nowadays, the hawkers are quite used to people taking photos and they don't mind. They are very spotting and would stop in their tracks to let you finish your photo taking session before they proceed to clear the table.

Kong Heng is popular among locals and outstation visitors who used to live near Ipoh.  The place is very crowded during lunch time on a working day. It is difficult to find a parking space nearby and we usually park at a private car park a short distance away. During peak hours, we may have to stand and wait for vacant tables.

This restaurant is opened  for breakfast at about 8 am in the morning and will close after lunch from around 3 pm.


We started our journey late and by the time we reached here it was almost 3pm. My favourite pork satay, Ipoh Hor Fun and Chee Cheong Fun from the Thean Chun coffee shop next door were finished! Thean Chun and Kong Heng operate like twins. We can sit at one restaurant and order food from the other, so you can imagine the variety of choices that we have here.

Luckily, some stalls are still opened. This 'kai see hor fun' (鸡丝河粉) or koay teow noodle soup with shreded chicken meat is not as famous as Thean Chun's but it is also very tasty. The soup tastes delicious with just the right amount of prawns, chicken meat and bean sprouts. Some chives and fried shallots are added as garnishing which further enhances the taste. The same seller also sells Ipoh chicken rice and beansprouts (Ngah Choy Kai).

Why is Ipoh Hor Fun (沙河粉) so special? This is because Ipoh is famous for its karst limestone mountain mineral water which is good for growing vegetables like bean sprouts and processing of noodles like koay teow. The koay teow here is thin and smooth and it kind of glides down your throat. Many ingredients are used to make the broth, e.g. chicken and pork bones, pork ribs, prawn shells, turnip, dried shrimps and of course salt, sugar and pepper. These are boiled for about 2-3 hours. The orange coloured oil floating on top of the bowl of hor fun is actually made by frying peeled prawn shells in oil until the flavour oozes out. The shreded chicken meat and prawns are made by blanching, not by boiling in water over a long period, hence their taste is retained. I like to have cut bird's eye chilli in light soya sauce to go with my Ipoh Hor Fun

In Ipoh, shar hor fun (沙河粉) is used to make soup while 'chow hor fun', which is hor fun with a thicker texture is used to cook Char Koay Teow. In many food centres in Klang Valley now, hawkers use only one type of hor fun i.e. chow hor fun which is coarse and only good for 'chows' or stir frys, hence it doesn't taste good in soups.

This is Rojak Buah or fruit salad with my favourite dipping sauce. Some of the ingredients used in making the sauce are toasted belacan (shrimp paste), thinly sliced fresh bird's eye chili, roasted peanuts (pounded) and sesame seeds. Their rojak sauce is really special and out of this world. Usually, the fruits are young mangoes, cucumber, sengkuang* and pineapples. There is also a piece of crispy craker. Those days, I used to order extra rojak for take away and eat to my heart's content.

* Sengkuang (Pachyrhizus erosus) is also known as sweet turnip. The English call it yam bean.
Note: you can click on the links provided for further info. from Wikipedia.


This popiah (Chinese spring rolls) goes well with their peanut chilli sauce. I prefer this white solf skin type to the fried popiah. Nowadays, they are reluctant to sell popiah in singles, so we have to order at least two rolls. This popiah stall also sells asam laksa but it was already sold out then.

Whenever I leave this coffee shop, I always wonder how many more times I can enjoy the special, delicioius food and busy, noisy but happy environment here. It is not only about the good food but it also brings back a lot of fond memories of our childhood with parents, friends and loved ones. It is like we grew up eating the food here! There is a special nostalgia many ex-Ipohlites feel and enjoy whenever we come 'home'. Ipoh is the capital of Perak, once the richest state in Malaysia. Ipoh's glory days may be over but its 'old world' charm remains because of places like this. I wonder if it will be taken over soon by some rich businessmen and converted into another tall, modern skyscrapper. By then, we would only have our archives of old photos to content with.

Do you think it is a good idea to preserve herritage buildings like this one as a legacy for our future generations?

The Spirit of 1Malaysia - A Walk Down Memory Lane


This picture taken at Ipoh Railway Station in the late 1950s post Independence days, shows a multi-racial mix of the youths of Malaysia where Chinese, Indians and Malays make up the biggest ethnic groups. Our country, Malaysia (Malaya then) officially achieved independence and hence freedom from British colonial rule on 31st August 1957.

Our government has been promoting harmony among the races since then. Now we call it 1MALAYSIA. I don't know how they call it during my parents time, maybe MERDEKA (Independence)? During my school days, it was MUHIBBAH.

Looking at this old picture,
  • Those days, people used eco-friendly paper bags to carry their stuff. I can even see adverts on it.
  • Ladies have short and curly Retro hairdos while the gentlemen's style were Groovy, greasy with Brylcreem
  • Fashion were wide knee-length swing skirts and small waist, hourglass figures were the rage for gals. For the guys it was jackets and khaki pants.
What do you think of the 1950s?

Wishing Tree at Kwan Yin Tong Cave Temple Ipoh


This is the Wishing Tree at Kwan Yin Tong Cave Temple in Jalan Raja Nazrin Shah, Ipoh. It is designed like the Hong Kong Wishing Tree. The 12.16m (about 4 storeys ) tall tree here is said to carry the spirit of a Tibetan deity who can grant wishes.

People can write their wishes on red and yellow joss paper tied to an orange and throw them up to hang on the tree. If successful, the wishes will come true. It is believed that the higher it is hung, the better the chances of the wishes coming true. If you are not successful within 3 throwing attempts, it would mean that your wish is too greedy!

The temple is opened daily and has been visited by many people, local and foreign. Anyone can come here to make a wish. The temple secretary is Mr Ho You Meng.

If you happen to be here, will you try this feat?

Thursday Challenge - Messy !


Sometimes, people like to select the roadside and use the public lamp post as a reference point for dumping unwanted items. Occassionally, you'll find sofa sets, bed sets and other furniture items.

If rubbish is packed properly for disposal and put at the back of the house, City Hall will collect it a few times every week.

Messy?

Rojak Fruit Salad at Kedai Kopi Kong Heng


This is a simple dish of rojak or fruit salad served at Kedai Kopi Kong Heng (Kong Heng Coffee Shop) in Ipoh. It is made of local tropical fruits and vegetables such as mangoes (raw and ripe), guava, umbra fruit, cucumber, sweet turnip and a piece of crispy cracker. We use the wooden sticks called 'lidi' to eat rojak. Lidi sticks are made from coconut fronds.

"ROJAK" is a traditional salad dish made of fruits and vegetables. It is commonly found in Malaysia, Singapore and Malaysia. It is available at the roadside stalls, night markets, restaurants, cafes and even served at hotel buffets.

The most important is the dipping sauce or rojak sauce which  is made of black soya sauce, sugar and shrimp paste, garnished with a sprinkle of toasted belacan (dried shrimp paste), grounded peanuts and finely chopped chili padi (bird's eye chili). A good dipping sauce is what differenciate a popular rojak seller than the rest. I think it is the toasted belacan that makes all the difference. Belacan is something you either love or hate and the smell can be pungent and obnoxious or just heavenly. It depends on the person's taste buds. Like kimchee, cheese, smelly tofu and durians, some people just love it while others can't stand it.

Besides fruit rojak, we also have mamak rojak, Indian rojak, Penang rojak and Indonesian rojak. When in Malaysia, why not try our colourful and tasty rojaks. Afterall, this is a good way to sample some of our tropical fruits.

What is your favourite salad and does it have a fancy name?

The word "Rojak" is a Malay word meaning "mixture". In everyday life, this word is also often used in colloquail language, e.g. "you are speaking rojak" meaning you use a mix of different languages in your conversation.

An Auspicious Marriage


A pair of banana plants is used to flank the entrance to an Indian wedding ceremony. The whole banana plant with trunk, fruits and flower is used.

Banana plants bear fruits in combs and bunches. They also produce many offsprings in the form of suckles. Hence, they are regarded as auspicious and they signifie fertility, abundance and prosperity. It is hoped that the marriage will be as fruitful or productive as the banana plant.

According to Chinese tradition, choosing an auspicious date and time is important for marriage.

Did you undergo any special religious ceremonies to ensure a blissful married life?
Do you believe in 'living happily ever after' ?

Congratulations!
My World Tuesday turns 2 today!
