On evenings when the kitchen is closed, I go out with my kids for dinner nearby our place. Most of the time when we eat out, it is normally on Fridays and weekends. On normal days I will cook a simple meal for ourselves. One of the food places I like to go is Hook Sang which is very near to our little nest. But lately I heard that the food prices have increased... two reasons... 1) our country's economy and 2) our neighbours who boost up the economy... Get what I mean? LOL...
The place was quite crowded especially on Fridays...
The four king beans....
Something juicy with this dish called Beer Ribs...
With a dash of sesame seeds... yes, I like it.. soft bones and the sweet sauce..
Couldn't resist these prawn fritters in salted egg... but super expensive...
For just a few pieces, it cost RM30...
We also ordered a small portion of Hokkien noodles...
ahhh.. this one cannot be compared to another shop...
The noodles were very rubbery... maybe not cooked enough...
But this combination is fantastic!
We love this....
For the above dishes plus the prawns and hokkien noodles,
the bill came to a whooping RM77...
Ok, expensive or not, next time we better "minus" the prawns... LOL...
Wow! How did you survive well for a month there without your Ipoh gangs around? I think Rm200+ for the air ticket is still affordable as the quality family bonding is priceless. JB has many good eating places but the prices are meant for Singaporeans.
ReplyDeleteYou are very right! Somehow we malaysians have to survive over there... instead of three meals, cut down to two or one and a half...:)
Deleteprawns are expensive, even raw ones. ever consider moving to your little nest in Johor permanently?
ReplyDeleteNot for now.. but will be there on and off...
DeleteAfter reading this, I am craving for wat tan hor :D
ReplyDeleteAdd in meehoon too.. !
DeleteNowadays everywhere also the price increase. I think when you go back to Ipoh you will get shocked also :(
ReplyDeleteExactly... one meal is around RM10 if not careful... I mean in coffeeshops, not cafe...
Deletewah...shioknyer makan...got prawns, pork rib summore....I m so craving for them now! Yea nowadays everything price increase....but if earning foreign currency doesn't impact them much lor...
ReplyDeleteI am not earning so if eat out everyday, beh tahan... hahaha..
DeleteExpensive or not, we must eat. Blame on ourselves or other, life goes on....
ReplyDeleteBeer ribs. Tasted that before and I quite enjoyed them.
One month away from home?? Wow! You dont get homesick?? ^^ I wonder I would or not??
Surely you will not if you stay with your kids.. hahaha
DeleteDelicious dinner. Very soon, every thing is expensive. We can still go out to enjoy but maybe less often.
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe once a week.. not too often like those days..
DeleteI still have not try the hokkien noodle in Johor, the one I tried is in Malaysia Boleh at Jurong Point, starting not bad, later part, nothing to shout about...
ReplyDeleteI tried two places.. the one in Uncle Poe wok is nice..
DeleteCertainly very steep prices, but the food looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteEat once awhile ok.. hehee
DeleteThe Wan Tan Hor looks very flavourful with the charcoal colour and yes prawns are expensive, the salted egg prawns I had at Nan Hwa Chong (Ah Chew) Fish Head Steamboat Corner cost S$15.
ReplyDeleteI like the wat tan hor.. indeed nice!
DeleteWah, salute you, can stay so long away from home!
ReplyDeleteBut on second thought, take it as a chance to 'holiday' also good la right?
hahaha..yeah lo.. as long as can be with the kids..
DeleteThe fritters look the best to me today. So you are now what we call a jet setter!! You are having a good retirement, can do whatever you like! It is great for us and for you.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.. I am so glad I retire... after slogging for 30 over years...
DeleteThe beer ribs are calling out to me!!! Gotta hop over to JB...when I can get away. Still tied down atm, taking care of my old folks.
ReplyDeleteYou are a filial son... no worries, one day you will be here...
