Nice Drive in Rain

On Sunday 4.jun.2023, it was raining quite heavily in the early morning which is very good to cool down the hot weather. On Saturday 3.jun.2023, I took a nap around 9 pm and woke up a few hours after that and didn't go back to sleep so I was awake when it started raining just before 6 am. Then he woke up and asked me what is the food plan for this day so I replied that he could drive to have breakfast at Pudu ICC since it was early and raining so perhaps there wouldn't be so many people there.

It was a nice drive to Pudu ICC in the rain although he has to be very careful. Some parts of the road have a lot of water on it. Later we read on the news that there are flash floods in some area due to this morning rain.

I felt like being on my vacation in Tokyo or Taipei with the cool morning rainy weather and the misty wet surroundings when we went past a few small hotels. When I looked through the small hotels' glass doors into their front desks, all the memories of staying in hotels during my vacations before the pandemic rushed into my mind. So nostalgic.

When we reached Pudu ICC, the car park was almost full and we need to park the car further away from the entrance to the staircase. Contrary to what I think, people do not sleep in on a cold rainy morning but go to Pudu ICC for breakfast and buy vegetables or raw meat to cook at home as there is a wet market at the basement of Pudu ICC.

When we are at Pudu ICC, we always eat our favourite food. His favourite food is pepper stomach soup mihun and 3jc mihun horfun soup. My favourite food is popiah. Our previous visit was on Wednesday 17.may.2023 which we buy food from these two stalls too.

From Pudu ICC, he bought 3jc mihun soup, siew Mai, har gao and ccf ytf for the Elderlies' lunch and drop the food off for their lunch on our way home at about 9 am. Later during lunch time the elderly called and told us kid 1 has sent them dim sum lunch via food delivery.

As kid 1 is going on a vacation this month, some Sundays were swapped with him. He did check their Wasap conversation to see who is on duty for this Sunday. Apparently kid 1 wrote that this Sunday is his duty but swapped and he misunderstood the text and thought it is still his duty so due to his misunderstanding of kid 1 text, the Elderlies ended up with double lunch meals so they kept one set of meals for their dinner.

Later at 3 pm, he found an eatery that he wanted to try called Ramen Mob in Taman Desa so we went there for his early dinner. The truffle ramen is very tasty. Will talk about it in a separate post. He also bought a loaf of bread and dropped it off at the Elderlies' place on our way home from early dinner. The elderly walked out to the nearby makeshift market in the morning at around 9 am after the rain to buy bread but due to the rain, the bread stall wasn't open. That is why he has to buy bread for them.

*** Wednesday 17.may.2023 ***

On wed 17.may.2023, we went to Pavilion KL but parked at BT Square. Before that, we stopped by Pudu ICC for our breakfast.

9.50 am - I ordered this mix popiah meal with one roll of the usual popiah and one roll of chicken floss salad popiah MYR 10 nett for these two rolls of popiah from Auntie Mei's Crispy Popiah stall in Pudu ICC.

9.54 am - cross section view of the popiah. I like the raw vegetables in the chicken floss popiah but find the chicken floss on top of the popiah to be quite unnecessary. Only for those customers who wish to eat chicken floss.

10.18 am - this is the popiah stall.

9.46 am - way behind the popiah stall is his favourite stomach pepper soup mihun stall which is the stall in the middle in the photo above.

*** Sunday 4.jun.2023 ***

7.38 am - his favourite stomach pepper soup mihun MYR 11 nett.

7.41 am - two rolls of the usual Auntie Mei's Crispy popiah MYR 8 nett. I bought the mihun MYR 8 nett because I wanted to eat the potatoes cubes. Fried mihun, peanuts, anchovies, cucumbers, half a hard boiled egg, potatoes cubes, prawns sambal which is very spicy hot 🔥🥵 until my whole mouth still throbbing from the spicy heat 10 minutes after eating the prawn sambal. His hot hainan char drink costs MYR 2.50 nett.

From Pudu ICC, he bought 3jc mihun soup MYR 9 nett,  siew Mai, har gao and ccf ytf for the Elderlies' lunch. The total price for 3 siew Mai and 3 har gao is MYR 17 nett. The ytf items from the ccf stall costs MYR 12.50 nett. He also bought two Bun Choon lard egg tarts at MYR 2.90 for himself because I prefer butter egg tarts so I didn't eat his egg tarts.

I believe we will always eat our favourite food everytime we visit Pudu ICC.
