Kedai Kopi Lai Foong

Thursday 25.nov.21 is his day to provide lunch. As he is the driver for the Elderlies, he had to send one elderly to the association prayers at a temple in downtown kl and then wait there for the elderly to attend the association meeting before bringing the elderly home as the children do not allow the elderly to drive even though the elderly insists can drive and wants to drive. 

The elderly is not allowed to join the association lunch after the meeting so it is agreed that the elderly will leave the meeting early before it ends. So the mission is to drop the Elderly at the temple at 10.45 am and to pick up at the drop off point at 11.45 am.

The stay at home elderly wanted to eat the famous beef noodles from Lai Foong eatery in downtown kl so I volunteer to go buy takeaway while he jaga kereta aka sit in the car to wait. Since I was there, I went to buy my food too.

Then after dropping the elderly home with lunch, we then went to exchange 3 cans of black hair spray for a hair tonic because the children don't allow the elderly to spray the skin of the head black anymore for fear of any carcinogenic consequences. What a day full of errands. I wore double masks and a face shield and followed SOP fully and prayed for safe passage.

1.18 pm - our shared lunch of beef Lai fun from Lai Foong coffee shop. Beef meatballs, tendon, lean beef, omasum, tripe in very flavour beefy broth and a refreshingly spicy chili dip. 3 packets of beef noodles and 1 packet of beef meatballs cost MYR 61 nett.

1.46 pm - close up of the omasum. From online definition of omasum is the muscular third stomach of a ruminant animal, between the reticulum and the abomasum.

7.03 pm - our shared dinner of lala mihun in wine ginger broth. The broth is very flavourful, full of wine and Ginger with tiny pieces of red chili to spice it up. He fried two eggs and added them to the mihun. I prefer the fried eggs to the lala.

*** Food from Lai Foong coffee shop for my friend ***

1.05 pm - photos from my friends after I dropped of 1 pack of prawns wine mihun and 3 packs of wanton Mee to them. 

The prawns and lala mihun are from one stall and cost MYR 32 nett. The 3 packs of wanton noodles are from Lai Foong coffee shop extension shop which is the shop lot next to Lai Foong. There is no adjoining door between these two shop lots.

1.05 pm - broad and wide wanton noodles with char siew and two wantons; and with beef stew. My friends say all 4 packs are very tasty but the wine broth is a bit too salty for them.

11.05 am - Lai Foong coffee shop looking out to the main entrance.

11.01 am - Lai Foong coffee shop looking into the shop from the main entrance. It is good to see that this coffee shop is still in business.

This is the address:

11.13 am - after collecting all the food I ordered and placed them in the car, I then walked to buy my food. I can see the two buildings that I worked in for about a total of 7.5 years from here. Ah, the memories of yonder years. Crossed the road ahead and continued walking.
