You see, life sometimes has its remarkable way of telling you when to start and when to stop. My eating spree took a screeching halt the last few days no thanks to a disastrous meal at one of the cafe in Jaya 33 nearby my work place; ended up dehydrated from the continuous purging spell.

Yes, even at this very moment … I still feel the cramps and weakness down to my wobbly knees owing to the midnight curse; of almost falling asleep on the ‘throne’. You know what I mean.

Anyhow, since the last Ipoh Cafe Series has ended (almost prematurely though, for there are countless others deserving a write up, yet deep down inside there’s just no comparing the cafes to what Ipoh is best known for; the quintessential street food galore), I came back recharged; and continued the ‘makan’ fest. First was Oriental Pavilion’s dim sum brunch with lou sang (which was excellent btw), then a dinner at Duck King for a delish Beijing Duck yet everything else fell apart, and a few other meals here and there that were forgettable.

Today’s the last day of the Chinese New Year 15 day celebration; also named Chap Goh Meh – the Chinese Valentine’s Day. Coincidentally, Valentine’s Day actually falls on this day (Feb 14); thus this being a once in 19 years occurrence; don’t you want to bring that special someone to somewhere memorable?
