I was very undecided of which restaurant to go to on one evening and I ended up making a booking with three restaurants two days in advance and on the day itself, I had to cancel two of them. Three of the restaurants I booked are Kok Thai, Pavilion and Weng Kee, all around the same vicinity of Ipoh Garden East and South. Finally I settled for Weng Kee restaurant, it has been a long while since I have been there and when I messaged my girl about the choice of venue, she replied with a "Hurray" ... With that word, I know that I have made the right decision. Sons? Oh, they are not picky eaters as me and my girl. Anything is fine with them... LOL....
There were 10 of us for that evening dinner and we ordered 7 dishes....
The happy and "close eye" smiles from the 10 of us....
Their signature Pork Ribs minus the bones...
Kapitan chicken
Mixed vegetables...
Their signature dish again.. Ownmade Beancurd..
Yummy steamed yam with lard...
Recently read an article that lard is good for us....

True or not?
Claypot eggplant with fish paste...
And the highlight of the dinner is the Buttered Fish... crispy fried...
That's her favourite and she ate most of it!
The dinner came to RM215 inclusive of rice and drinks....
After our dinner, we adjourned for our desserts!!
A real fattening evening, no doubt about that..
What a happy looking crowd! I agree, the fried fish looks delicious!! Here, we serve it with french fries.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!
DeleteEverything was so good and sumptious. I would not mind joining in. ^^
ReplyDeleteI don't mind too... hahaa
DeleteThat's what CNY is all about - family and non-stop makan!
ReplyDeleteExactly! hehe
Deletelard is good for us? that would be a good news! lol! all the dishes above are my fav...Need to go for extreme diet later on.
ReplyDeleteThat was what I read.. how much is true, I really dont know but I am happy too! hahahaa
DeleteNot sure how good lard is but when compared with trans fat, eating lard is better than eating trans fat. Buttered fish is my pick too out of all the dishes because I prefer fish to chicken and pork.
ReplyDeleteYou are like my daughter then.. she loves fish among the meaty stuff...
DeleteHappiness is when all our loved ones are gathered together for happy makan!
ReplyDeleteThat chicken kapitan made me drool cos it has been many years since I ate this dish.
Serious! It is something like rendang chicken...
DeleteLotta plates of happiness. Gluttony at its best!
ReplyDeleteOur tummy is turning glutton too... hahaa
DeleteOh, lard is good for us, all the while, I don't eat lard...
ReplyDeleteReally... the lard adds flavour to our dishes...
DeleteWe always order their kapitan chicken whenever we go there....always! Looking at your pics, we should try their other dishes like the buttered fish too. Their sweet and sour crabs are excellent too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried their sweet and sour crabs before... too expensive...hahaha.
DeleteLove all the dishes here especially the flavourful ones
ReplyDeleteI especially like the kapitan chicken and claypot eggplant
DeleteI love them all especially when I am hungry! :)
DeleteBet Aaron will miss all these gorgeous dishes when he goes back to Scotland.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed he will...
DeleteGood makan and everyone sure looks happy!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the kapitan chicken and eggplant dish. Some dishes just need to have some lard for the special taste! What a happy gathering!
