Purple Cane Ipoh Tea House 怡保紫藤茶馆 @Ipoh, Malaysia

Posted on 20 May 2022 by lendeliz

We were strolling along when we chanced upon this place and ended up having a lovely tea-theme dinner. Each item had elements of different types of tea, and this was probably the best tea egg I have had in a very long time. Not only was it fragrant, the flavours were well-infused into the tea egg! They do sell the egg spices pack for making your own tea eggs back home, but being lazy us… the staff proceeded to share with us that they have outlets in JB too 😛

It was a lovely space for us to chill out and there was also a variety of products available for purchase.

Restoran Ong Kee Tauge Ayam 安记芽菜鸡沙河粉 @Ipoh, Malaysia

Posted on 20 May 2022 by lendeliz

I insisted that we should have horfun for out first meal in Ipoh, afterall, that horfun was the first thing I heard of about Ipoh 😛

There were many places selling horfun, so we just randomly picked a restaurant with air-conditioning. While we were more used to the taste of chicken back in Singapore, we were very impressed by the juicy beansprouts!

Pit Stop at Putrajaya, Malaysia

Posted on 20 May 2022 by lendeliz

We made a stop at Putrajaya on our way from Melaka to Ipoh to check out the beautiful Jambatan Seri Wawasan (Seri Wawasan Bridge) and its surroundings.

Recharged at Bencoolen Coffee Putrajaya and shared a small Latte (RM8.50) and small Bencoolen (RM10.50) (with gula melaka/palm sugar). Drinks were not bad, and the space cosy.

Bulldog Malacca @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

We were very happy to find a new place to try out Peranakan food! Prior reservations were required as walk-in were discouraged, and we also placed our orders in advance, ahead of the trip. We loved the ambience here and had a great time here!

We tried the following:

  • Nyonya Pai Tee (RM15): The shell was impressively thin and crispy and not too oily.
  • Sambal Sotong with addition of Petai (RM25 + RM4): My absolute favourite! Hubby found it too spicy so I almost had the entire dish all to myself. It was so spicy, yet so addictive that I could not stop myself.
  • Nyonya Pongteh Chicken (RM10 for small): Gravy was good, chicken was tender. Very enjoyable!
  • Fried Brinjal (RM10): Oh how could anyone make brinjal SO juicy? This was simply awesome!
  • Jasmine Fragrance Steamed Rice (RM2): We shared one rice so that we could try out more dishes, lol!
  • Nyonya Cendol (RM7): After all the various spices, this was a lovely sweet ending.

Note that there was an additional 10% service charge.

Suukee Satay 海南沙爹 @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

Cravings for Hainanese-style satay satisfied at Suukee Satay 海南沙爹!

We tried the Pork (RM1.10/stick), Chicken (RM1.10/stick) and Beancurd Pork Belly 南乳猪肉 (RM13.80/set). There was a minimum order of 10 sticks for the RM1.10 ones, and an additional RM1 for cucumber and onions.

The meats were well-marinated, and the chicken was rather juicy despite looking quite lean. The beancurd pork belly was da-bomb!

The pineapple puree gave the satay sauce a refreshing twist. Very enjoyable 🙂

Coconut Shake and Kuih Keria Gula Melaka @Batu Berendam, Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

We saw the coconut shake at Batu Berendam quite a few times during our research for the trip and figured that we should give it a try! We had the Coconut Shake Special (RM4.50) which came with a scoop of ice cream blended in. It was a bit too sweet for us.

We also tried the Kuih Keria (RM0.60/piece) and we gotta say we were delightfully surprised by this little sweet treat! It was lightly crispy and full of bits of sweet potato inside.

Glutton Street 峇株巴辖贪吃街 @Batu Pahat, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

Our breakfast pit stop before reaching Melaka was at Glutton Street in Batu Pahat. But alas, Thursday was not a good day as most of the stalls at the Glutton Street were closed for the day.

Nonetheless, we managed to try a Fried Carrot Cake (RM7) which strangely tasted like orh luak with cai poh instead of oysters. I liked it, but the rest could not gel the taste to “carrot cake”, hahaha. Too eggy, I supposed. We also had Roti Canai with coffee and tea (RM11.80) which were pretty decent.

Half day trip to Johor

Posted on 3 May 2022 by lendeliz

The past 2 years have been hard on everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only there was no travelling, there was even a Circuit Breaker (aka lock down) in Singapore from Apr 2020 to Jun 2020 where we were only able to go out of our house for essential stuff. This global pandemic has changed the way we work, the way we live and everything… It has been pretty hard for everyone, but light is now finally visible at the end of the tunnel…

After more than 2 years of non-travelling, border restrictions have finally relaxed and we decided to test water and visited our neighbouring country! The exchange rate we gotten from Lucky Plaza was S$1 to RM3.12.

We set off at 6:30am and cleared customs in Woodlands around 7am with hardly any other cars seen. A smooth 40-min drive later, we reached Skudai!

Cafes in Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 22 December 2019 by lendeliz

Handmade Bakery Cafe

The highlight were definitely the cakes! In particular, we enjoyed the Tofu Cheesecake very much as it was quite light and not overly sweet. The Salted Caramel Cake had bailey’s in it, and was a combination of sweet, salty and bitterness from the alcohol. Drinks wise, the Galaxis tasted a bit like Ribena with lemon, while the Lattes were slightly more milky. [Total expense RM64.70]
