Tapau mode

No dine-in since last month, so we have to resort to tapau our food to support our favourite coffee shop. Luckily over here, the ministry allowed business to open from 6am to 8pm, so no problem for those going to market, and tapau breakfast and so forth. 

We also resumed our morning walk since jogging, light exercises are allowed around the neighbourhood. So, one morning last week, after a brief exercise, we walked to the coffee shop. We reached there around 640am. Few people in front of the queue, everyone followed SOP and patiently waited for their breakfast to be ready. And we thought we were early as it was only 6.40am and the coffee shop usually opened after 6am, but someone beat us to it!  Lol!


While waiting for our noodles, I ordered RM2 each of these fritters. It has been a while since I drink teh c, so I tapaued a cup of warm teh c for RM2.40. I forgot to ask for lesser sugar, so my teh c was slightly sweet but at least my craving was satisfied. 


I did not take kolo mee that morning but instead had fried mee hoon (RM5). Jan also requested for fried mee hoon, I guess she was bored with eating kolo mee. 


Hubby took a like in kolo kway teow lately, so I ordered kolo kway teow for him. 


The boys had their usual, kolo mee. RM3.50 each but the kolo noodle costs RM4 from 1 June 2021 onwards. Price-wise, it was at par with other kolo mee shops now. Hardly able to find RM3.50, or RM3 or even lesser than RM3 kolo mee nowadays.

Yes, at least we can go out and buy takeaway or request for delivery but somehow or other, I feel so malas to go out and do it - just simply eat anything I can find in the house. Besides, everything looks nicer when served at the shops, photos of the tapao-ed stuff not so nice. LOL!!!

Take care there, all of you. Pray that all this will be over soon.

Good that you support your favourite shops by buying from them in this fmco time. Do take good care and stay safe! Walking exercises are good.

So nice that there is a coffee shop near you and that you can just go there after your morning walk. I want those fritters dipped in chili sauce!

Me too, back to dabao food and sometimes homecooked food. Take care and stay safe. Morning walk is good for health. Do you need to set the alarm in order to wake up at 6am to go for your morning walk?

No alarm clock. Our bodies are the alarm. Hubby woke up very early when he slept around 9pm. He usually up around 6, and he wakes me up.

Kolo mee for me anytime! I bought kampua noodles online recently, still got two more packets left, nowadays so convenient to order online!

this is my first time seeing kolo kuey teow...I think i would still prefer the springy mee. Good to have tapao food for a different, after eating home-cooked meal most of the time.

You guys are really early birds to get out around 6.00am. I would still be in dream land very faraway. Hahahaha

I miss kolo mee so much. I mean authentic ones in Sarawak.

Over here, we are only allowed to tapau from 8am to 8pm. Even though we can only go out for walks from 7am onward, I will automatically be awake around 5am.
