Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share some colourful pictures of a heavy breakfast that I had during a trip to Ipoh. It was right before the long journey home in the morning. So we decided to have something heavy in case it gets jammed up on the highway before reaching a good restaurant. The name of the restaurant that we went to is 'Nasi Kandar Pelita'.
This is the meal that my mother ordered. It is a dosa set with curry, chutney and sambal. The plate was neat with little wells made for the dipping. I tried it too and the dosa was nice and not sour. It means that the flour batter was made fresh in the morning.
We all ordered a cup of tea as our beverage because we have been drinking coffee on the previous days. It was nice to drink a hot cup of tea in the morning to get us started for the day. It was slightly more sweet than the ones we have at home but then, we do strictly limit our sugar intake and got adapted to that.
This is what my brother and I ordered. It is nasi lemak. It is actually a balanced meal to eat in the morning, provided that the portions are healthy and we stick to eggs and not anything deep fried. It comes with a bowl of rice made with coconut milk, sambal made of chilli and anchovies for some flavour, a few fried anchovies on the side, some peanuts and a few slices of cucumber. They were generous with the portions here. These days, the eggs in nasi lemak have been reduced to half and we don't get that many peanuts.
This is a puri set that my father ordered. Each set comes with two puris and some potato gravy and chutney for dipping. I tried it and it was so yummy. The puri was crispy. I considered ordering a set for myself but I got full and eventually chose not to.
I took an overall picture of our table in the beginning.
My brother ordered another set of puri for himself. The greedy part of me wanted to steal one of it since he gets two pieces in the set, or just order a full set for myself. However I controlled myself and made the wise choice by tying my tummy for the morning. I still took some photos of his meal as the puri looked so puffy and round.
There were people constantly coming to the restaurant. We realized that many of them were actually the relatives of the patients receiving treatment in the nearby hospital. It is the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital. We even overheard someone discussing something about the discharge date. It was not hard to put two and two together. The fact that the Airbnb is so near is also helpful as families and relatives visiting can stay there and have the meals in this restaurant. The meals are good and everything was clean, with staffs constantly checking on customers.
Thank you for dropping by and I hope you have a hearty meal too! Have a wonderful day ahead.
