Good morning! What a wonderful Saturday morning! You know, if you start your day saying something positive like, ‘Today is going to be a great day!‘, you find that your day will go on smoothly.

This morning, hubby and I went to the nearby food court for breakfast. Remember the Kampar Fried Noodles that I mentioned last week? Ya, that food court. Of course, I didn’t order the Char Kuey Teow today.

Honestly, no offense, okay? If you are one who has eaten so many good dishes and yummy small eats, especially Char Kuey Teow, in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, this Kampar Char Kway Teow won’t leave you much impression.

Speaking of today’s breakfast, hubby and I had ‘Kopi O’ aka coffee with sugar only and Ham Jim Peng.

It’d been a long time since I last ate Ham Jim Peng. The reason I ordered the Ham Jim Peng was because of a man sitting at the next table. He dipped the Ham Jim Peng into his ‘Kopi O’ and judging from his facial expression, he seemed to enjoy it.

So from the initial intention of eating Wan Tan Mee aka Wan Tan noodles, I asked hubby to order some Ham Jim Peng.

Before heading home, hubby bought a few more Ham Jim Peng and fried glutinous rice doughnuts for lunch.

See the photo? The ones with sweet and slightly sticky glutinous rice wrapped by the slightly salty dough are fried glutinous rice doughnuts. Yummy Chinese food!

What a great Sunday! I am glad that my tongue ulcer is 98% recovering. Phew, what a fright! While eating the Dried Oyster Porridge/Congee last night, I could still feel the pain. I was a bit upset, thinking why there’s still pain even though I felt nothing in the morning and afternoon.

What’s my breakfast on Sunday morning? The famous Kampar Char Kuey Teow ( Kampar Fried Noodles with Cockles and Bean Sprouts) and ‘Teh Tarik’.

Hubby and his friend went to the food court for their breakfast, but I was too lazy to follow. Too lazy because I go to the wet market, which is next to the food court, almost every day! So, Sunday is my OFF day from market or food stall.

Hubby bought the Char Kway Teow with Cockles and Bean Sprouts and ‘Teh Tarik’ for me.

You know, this Char Kuey Teow stall is very famous in Kampar and also Malaysia. Its Char Kuey Teow is fried the old-fashioned way, in a huge flattened wok on a charcoal stove.

Food fried using a charcoal stove always tastes better than that cooked using a gas stove, right?

Remember this guy, okay? Stall No.32. He is so famous that it’s easy to find a photo of him or his scrumptious Char Kuey Teow online.

One thing, though. He will tell you how long you need to wait for, half an hour or one hour. Then, it’s up to you whether you want to wait or you eat something else.

Speaking of ‘Teh Tarik’, I love it. I love it best if it’s with a few drops of coffee. In Cantonese, it’s called Teh Tik Kopi. Tik in Cantonese means drop.

When you are bored with ‘Teh Tarik’, try Teh Tik Kopi. The aroma of coffee adds taste to the plain ‘Teh Tarik’.

Why not just order Cham or mixed coffee and tea? Well, too kau or strong.
