Earlier this year, we had planned to fly off to some exotic land to enjoy a second honeymoon, to celebrate our 1st anniversary as Mr and Mrs Yeow. Except, somewhere along the way, Mother Nature decided to intervene and introduced a new person into our lives, henceforth catapulting our pre-made romantic plans into the ditch.

*Our mothers would glare us down if I so much so as mention I want to go on a plane and fly off for a holiday! "H1N1 okay, you pregnant in high risk group, don't even think about it!" *

So the furthest we could afford ourselves was this weekend one-day trip to Ipoh, more to satisfy my palate than anything else. My hubby gladly obliged, so one fine Saturday, we decided to drive North, just the two off us, and we went here:

Stopped by Bidor to have some Duck Noodles and visit Uncle Best Yam Kok in the world….

For lunch we went to Lou Wong Nga Choy Kai…This photo of me damn sia-suey I know.

Still taste ok what…

Then we da paued Baked Salted Chicken from Aun Kheng Lim, but it was so good I forgot to take photos of it… all masuk belly adi.

At night we visited this place that Axian featured on TV before: Restaurant Rasa Lain.

And then the next day before coming home, we went to Ming Court to try Ipoh-local's favourite Dim Sum.

*No photos because I didn't like the food here.*

To be honest, we didn't really like Ming Court cos the dim sum really very puny… the siew mai just about the size of Eric's thumb only! Foh San has now moved to this huge building opposite Ming Court and got really really refurbished, and well, I think the servings at Foh San, being bigger, is more value for money!

…

Well I had a pretty good time in Ipoh, quite satisfactory lah, considering I can't get around much and I'm pretty much stationed in Klang Valley the entire term of my pregnancy what with all the virus scares running around. Hopefully when baby comes out I get my license to fly again, and prayerfully baby is a non-fussy baby so that I get to bring him along without much problems.

Baby, you see the life mama has sacrificed for you! You see!
