Last weekend we checked out some food places we haven't been before. We constantly try new places but sometimes when we're in the midst of running important errands, we eat at the nearest coffeeshop or something. To save time. Like once when I had to send my slippers to the cobbler and he said he needs half an hour, we had no choice but to eat nearby and most of the time, the food is not what I like.
On Sunday after church, we went to 2020 Cafe at Pelita. Actually I had a craving for dimsum. We shared a couple of items like beef noodles, dry pan mee, kolo mee and a variety of dimsum. Dim sum didn't really satisfy us but the noodles were quite good especially the beef noodles, it got us talking about the places we had beef noodles back home ;-) The soup base was a little spicy and they serve it with lime to squeeze and belacan ;-) Didn't take any photos though hehe.
On Saturday, we bought a variety of food from Saberkas night market like rojak thambi (it was not bad but still didn't live up to my expectations LOL, we added chopped nuts ourselves at home), apam balik (this is Augustine's favourite but I find it too sweet) and some local layer cake to try. Apparently the layer cakes are very popular here. Below is a picture of three flavours I chose, yam-strawberry-pandan, chocolate mint, cheese-butter. They are not cheap, I think coz there is a lot of work involved. Very hand made indeed.
The Saberkas market is held every weekend Friday morning til Saturday night. They sell everything just like our "pasar malams" back home and in addition, there are many many food stalls selling stuff we get back home during the Ramadhan bazaars. We've tried some others in the past like "ikan bakar" - there's all sorts of fish available, fried noodles - again many types to choose from, "keropok lekor", "murtabak", "laksa", etc.
On our way home after the market, we decided to check out a stall manned by a very old aunty at Pujut 3 residential area somewhere behind GK supermarket. The aunty only sells her yummy teatime delicacies 2pm-6pm Tuesdays til Sundays. She speaks Cantonese in fact! We bought turkey ham cheese sandwiches, hotdog roll (the bread layer was wrapped in egg!) and "chee cheong fun" (yumyum). See pics below hehe. She sells a lot more stuff and I bet some of it already sold out by the time we got there ;-)
