Thai Food at Jalan Bayan, Ipoh Road

Normally on a Wednesday night a group of small wheels would go hunting for food in Klang Valley and this time I have tailored one at Jalan Ipoh after a round of city roaming. The stall that has been in Jalan Bayan for a long time and the crave for a Thai food that came in timely.

There were two dishes that I loved most during that evening, the first one was this Assam curry fish cooked with milk instead of coconut santan. It was heavenly as far as the taste is concerned and everyone of us simply loved it and vouched that we will come back again for this assam fish.

A truly nice and delicious clear Tomyam with all the many fresh ingedients that were in it and they were essential for a fantastic tomyam experience. The prawns were fresh and big, the fish paste was another unique ingredient besides all the spicy stuffs. This was the second dish that I loved most in this food adventure.

This bitter gourd stir fried with pork was different from most Tai Chow in town, the meat was good and lovely.

Fried pandan chicken is another favourite dish at Meng Kee.

The bill and fortunately the omelet did not come, we were already full to the throat.

Go and look for Mr & Mrs James Phua for a lovely meal be it a lunch or dinner, you will love it.

Thai Food Home Recipe 泰囯小食 - Chong Hwa School Gombak

A place for a Thai food with no name, operating from home somewhere in Gombak / Setapak. I have decided to hunt for this place and found it eventually. The name Jalan Chong Hwa is important though it's not located exactly on this road but a little bit of nosing around will do the trick. It was lunch time and most of the patrons were students and workers from the surrounding areas.

I ordered for a Thai spicy fried rice with extra request for added spice and it was explosive man.... what a sweaty and adventurous lunch. It has been a long time since I have tasted such a "hot" meal... gosh I got swollen lips eating it....

A bowl of clear Tomyam soup, I was surprised to see minced meat balls in it and I like it. The la la clams were fresh and delicious. It really went very well with my "hot" Thai fried rice.

A glass of iced "Cincau" drink was refreshing and it was so lovely on a hot day.

Green curry spaghetti seafood with added pork meat was another delicious and satisfying meal. It had to take me a second visit to try this yummy dish.

In the compound of the house that is heavily shaded with thick green. Nothing cosy while you eat your nice Thai flavoured foods amidst the uniformed students of Chong Hwa Chinese School.

Unfortunately operating time is only until 4.00pm and I can forget about giving my family here for dinner here.

Go Thai on A Wednesday Evening with a Brunch of Happy Cyclists

It was a last minute call for a Wednesday ride and within an hour or so there were more than a dozen happy cyclists appearing at Johnny's place.

The gathering place was at one of our regular places and this time it was at My Bicycle Shop, Bandar Utama

From Bandar Utama we started off with an early climb at Bukit Utama though it was short and steep but it was a good warm up.

We then cycled over to a nearby kampong next to Bandar Utama and make our way out into the main road near Damansara Toll where we used the motor bridge and got ourselves over to Kampong Sg Kayu Ara.

After making a stop at a bicycle shop at Taman Bahagia we then made our way to SS2 for a Siamese affair. Let Go Thai for some Siamese street food.

Now we don't have to be in Thailand for this Khao Kha Moo (stewed pork) which I love to eat whenever I am in Thailand be it in Southern Thailand or in the capital city of Bangkok. This dish is available in the entire Thailand perhaps the taste vary from region to region but the look of the dish is about the same. This one at SS2 is gorgeous.

Tomyam seafood with fish slices, prawns, squid, and mussels. The soup is thick and spicy and surely a favourite to all Thai food lovers. Must try then!

Here is Kuey Teow soup of Thai version called Kway Tiao Nam Sai of clear soup or there is another spicy version too at Go Thai. These are lovely soup noodle indeed.

Papaya salad (Som Tam) is another lovely appertizer.

BBQ pork fillet (Moo Ping) was a killer it was so tender and tasty. I like it with my cool "Chang" beer.

 A dessert at last to cool the hot and spicy feeling and nothing like having it with the popular Tub Thim Krab.

The stewed pork at the front counter to lurk you and make you drool.....

The pit that prepares the pork fillet or Moo Ping.

We love our food as much as we love our cycling though there are many other cyclists think that we aren't really cyclists as we eat too much. Anyway who cares and we just don't give a damn to what they say so long as we are happy for what we are doing. 
Cheers hApPy CyClinG and have fun.

Day 6 - Taking a Train back to Kuala Lumpur from Hat Yai (Folding Bike Touring)

Good morning G2 Hat Yai!!! Our plan for the morning was to visit bicycle shops before we leave the town.

Nipping through the streets of Hat Yai with our wonderful folding bikes.

Our first stop ----- the great siu yok (roast pork) so much talk about it and at last I was there for it and thanks to my touring buddies for this recommendation.

Pretty ladies waiting to serve us.

How true it was heavenly delicious and we asked for more ...bearing in mind it was only our appetiser. Merely for a bite and more food places to visit...

One for hApPy HaPpY's album.

Sam with his ultimate food .... just look at his hApPy expression...it tells everything about it.

The food galore continued this time for a famous pork porridge.

Roger & the stall that serves the great porridge in Hat Yai

Be patient your order is coming soooon.....

It's time for photography & great food.....

Rich and delicious....

We visited 4 bicycle shops in Hatyai this was the 2nd one. Hatyai Mountain Bike.

We spent some of our Thai bahts here for some accessories. This was the only kind of shopping we did in this folding bicycle touring.

The third one is situated above a coffee shop.

This shop sells gorgeous stuffs and bicycles. I love this shop the most and would want to come back again. I have to borrow money from friendly loan sharks for some stuffs that I could not resist.

Kuay Teow Renua - Thai Boat Noodle is associated with Central Thailand and used to be sold in small boats. I find it very tasty and enjoyed the soup so much that I virtually dried it up the entire bowl (actually 1 took 2 bowls hehehe).

The eating shop is located at this street Thanon Preedarom.

Small shop but serves great Thai Boat Noodle.

Here we were at the entrance of the Train Station of Hatyai.

Time to bag our folding bikes and head for home.

 

Hatyai Train Station is a bit unique you can see people living in the station itself.

Immigration checking at Padang Besar with a short wait before we continued our journey on our home land, Malaysia. Our folding bicycles were left in the coach we just needed to bring along our luggage for the necessary clearance with the Immigration & Custom.

Our bicycles in the bags placed at the corner of the coach, remember to book your seat at No.15 (the last row) where you can sit next to your stuff.

Home sweet home after 15 hours in the train and a final 18km ride back to the house from old KL Train Station including a detour to Tititwangsa for my Maran breakfast. What a great adventure and I shall do more....
