Ipoh Food Trail Day One


The Ong family went on a road trip just before Christmas! There were only 3 of us as my princess went  to China with her gong gong and po po instead. I am glad we have this opportunity to bond with our little prince. Since his arrival 3 years ago, we seldom have the time to spend one to one time with him without his sister.
Anyway, we didn't really plan for the trip except searching for some nice to eat places. We purposely make this a relaxing trip while we just eat and sleep and bond with the boy. Overall, all our objectives are achieved! All three of us have a great time bonding together!
Here is the summary of our trip:

DAY ONE
We started our trip around 12 noon as we need to send the princess to catch her flight in the morning. After some last minute packing and checking the second link traffic, we were ready to go!
Dear hubby is in charge of driving with the help of the GPS, and I am the back-up driver as usual. Due to lack of sleep (hb worked till 2am in the morning before coming home), the back-up driver took over the wheels for the last one hour. It's been a long time since I drove in the North-South highway..hehe..

Our little prince slept for most part of the journey. When he was awoke, he spent his time playing with either mummy or daddy..:)

We finally reached our hotel at 8pm. After searching online, I decided to book Tune Hotel. Tune hotel was operated by AirAsia, which explains the color of the hotel. It was a comfortable, and conveniently located hotel. When you booked the hotel, you will be given the very basic item - comfortable bed and hotel. Everything else are add-on. You can select the different add-on package. It cost about RM22 for 24 hours of air-con and a bath towel, wireless internet cost RM12 for 24 hours. Overall, the price is still pretty reasonable as we paid around SGD98 for 2 nights stay during peak season include 24hrs of air con. In my opinion, adding of air con might not be necessary as the room has a ceiling fan, and we are already feeling very cold with the fan right on top of the bed! Oh, did I mention that TV and bath towel and toiletries are also consider add-on, but thats not important for us as we seldom watch any TV programs.

Right after check-in, we walked right across the road to one of my short-listed dinner venue. Pusing Public restaurant is just besides our hotel, how convenient can that be! 
Pusing Restaurant is very popular in Ipoh, they are always full. In fact, I read on internet review that during weekends, they are packed with at least 2 wedding dinners. We reached there around 830p.m. and indeed, the whole place is full, luckily, we managed to find a table at the 2nd floor, which has 2 wedding dinners going on too. 
Food wise, we had steamed ginger chicken, pan-grilled prawns, broccoli with crabmeat and scallops and a noodle. It adds up to RM90, which is very cheap when you convert to SGD. We wanted to order  crabs but the waitress says its a minimum of 2 crabs for their popular dish, which is not possible for us to finish. Never mind, there is always the next time when we come again..:)
