Eat out on CNY

During Chinese New Year, we ate out few times. Few establishments opened even on 1st day but during public holidays especially CNY, certain places would have a hike in the price. Like a cousin told us, a bowl of laksa on normal day priced at RM5, would cost you RM7 on CNY.

So you need to be judgemental and clever in choosing where and what to eat on such holiday and one good thing about Malaysia, we are a multiracial country. We could easily find food all year round. 

Most establishments closed on Monday which was the 1st day of CNY. So most places are deserted that day. We had a car ride in the evening; catching on firework display in the sky amidst the rain in the car.

The weather was kinder on us on 2nd day with occasional drizzle and shower that day.

We went to the old part of the city for breakfast on 2nd day. A thick roti telur in Bismillah Cafe in Khoo Hun Yeang road. 

After our light breakfast, we went to Matang for a hunt of lemang for our open house. We bought 2 sticks of freshly charcoal-cooked lemang home. RM8.00 per stick but they have different stick sizes for different prices.

On 3rd day, we went to Megabite Cafe for breakfast. Very few stalls opened and one of stalls was the fried noodle stall. So we ended up having fried noodle and kway tiaw.

My fried kway tiaw with a fried egg (RM6.00). Not bad; quite good with some cockles.

We also visited the shopping malls over the holiday and one of them was VivaCity. Quiznos Sub was not packed when we were in the mall so we went in for a bite.

The traditional chicken (chicken + chicken ham) for RM12.90.

I wouldn't mind coming again for breakfast as they open pretty early for early birds at 7am.

I were not well last Saturday evening. Must have eaten wrong thing as threw up twice that late evening. No appetitite and I felt weak and giddy on Sunday so I have been having porridge the whole day. Hubby bought McD's chicken porridge for me in the evening.

That was how we spent the Valentine's Day. Not so romantic evening at home. Lol.

Thankfully I am well now and it is back to chaffeuring my kids routine. Now I couldn't wait for the school holiday, which is less than a month away. Lol.
