Would you make a 40 minute drive just for breakfast? That's just one way. By the time we got back, it was lunch time. Well, that is what we did... 3 of us last Saturday morning.
Karyn was home over the weekend. And she's one who would be 'crazy' to suggest that. Of course, she'd have to find people equally crazy to follow... and she found willing partners-in-food-hunting in Mei Yan and me.
This is the shop.. Changlun Seafood Restaurant. By the looks of it, it should be a seafood restaurant at night. What did we drive all the way there for? 'Konlo' mee. She 'swears' that it's a really plain, simple but nice konlo mee. Verdict? I enjoyed it... has this nice taste. Okay... location. Take the right turn at the Changlun town traffic light. The shop is at the far end corner of the shop houses on your right. Opposite is a row of fruit stalls. Won't be difficult to find.
This is the konlo mee... you'll have to take your chopsticks (and spoon) and give it a good stir to mix the sauce and chilli up. I noticed that everyone around me was doing that! The shredded chicken goes nicely with the mee. It's quite nice. The konlo mee comes with a small bowl of soup with a generous portion of wantan.
Spot anything odd? This was after
makan. We stopped by this stall which was diagonally across the mee shop to get some fruits; bananas mainly as there were so many nice ones hanging around.
This was another stop for pomelos, but at one of the many stalls by the North-South Highway. We got some as well...
It was a nice hang-out time... good to this every now and then. De-stress, catch-up, do what 'ladies' do best... yak, yak, and 'shop' - even though it was just fruit shopping. So, if you are bored or crazy enough to try this, by all means do so. This is Alor Setar, where we still try to enjoy it's idyllic pace but it also seems to be more and more fleeting these days...

Random Shots, the world is full of fools. Don't worry we are one them. So, come to think of it you are quite normal. We drove to SP for "kolomi." This stall in a coffee shop and it always has a long queue of customers waiting for the delicacy. To make the trip worth it, we always have double portion. You need to take a number. The number is written on a 4 by 6 inch metal plate.
Random Shots, by the way, have a blissful one-week holiday. Don't go any where and don't do anything against your will. Just unwind and let your hair down.
Thank you... this one week is one week I really need, away from the maddening school! 8)
Will ask Beng Khim why she never buy dat 'Konlo' mee for me? :)`
