Bamboo Grove Cafe (vegetarian) (竹园小厨素食) @ Taman Selasih, Kulim

Join friend and follow her pure vegetarian husband to this merchant.

I have no idea why I never spot this vegetarian café, although I had been 6yrs stay at this place.

Outlook is just a normal shop, nothing special.

But inside the café feels like it’s quite relaxing.

On the corner, those table and chairs is looks like Japanese Style, but actually u can put ur leg under the table. But my friend said, they had experienced that those tables got many mosquitoes in the evening, especially when u put ur leg inside that hole.

Either u can order from the list, or u can pick from the picture.

Generally, those foods in the pictures are recommended by chef.

Fried Hor Fun (炒河粉), RM3.50 (Medium, Big = RM4.50)

It’s almost same taste like those non-vegetarians Fried Hor Fun.

Sticky sauce and smoothly Kuey Teow. tasty and delicious.

the appearance is nice and tempting.

the sauce is special compare the normal Spaghetti at anywhere.

Basil Leave (Leaf) Fried Rice (九层塔炒饭), RM3.50 (Medium, Big = RM4.50)

Never eaten such special fried rice like this, especially vegetarian fried rice.

Rojak @ Kulim Town, Kulim

Rojak is 1 of the most famous food in Malaysia.

It’s fruit and vegetable salad dish, but it mix with sweet and sour prawn/shrimp paste (虾膏, belacan) with a bit spicy taste.

@ Kulim, am always buying Rojak from this uncle, after tasting so many other stalls and this 1 still the best.

This uncle comes with 1 motorbike and his wife is helping him.

This uncle always ask in Hokkien… Ai Hiam Mai (means do u want spicy) & Ga Liao Ai? (means all in)

What fruits and vegetables inside?

Cucumber, Pineapple, Raw Mangoes, SengKuang, Guava, You-Tiao (Cut-up Chinese-style Fritters), and Keropok (虾饼)

Got 2 portion:

Small - RM2.20

Big - RM3.00 (I always choose the big portion)

** There’s drive-thru available because it’s on the road side, but not recommended because it’ll caused traffic jam.

Along this road got few variety of foods. The environment is so-so.

Pasar Ramadan @ Kelang Lama, Kulim, Kedah (Halal)

Pasar Ramadan is different compare other Pasar Pagi (Morning Market) or Pasar Malam (Night Market) in Malaysia.

It’s only operate 1 month per month during Muslims fasting month. Operating time is about 3pm to 7pm.

During the eve of fasting month, when am visiting normal Pasar Malam, wondering why no stalls are selling Satay. Is it chicken / beef wholesaler or supplier keep in the store and prepare for fasting month.

Each of the Pasar Ramadan in Malaysia will slightly different, most of it are local food.

But I didn’t see any Lekor (my favorite keropok).

Let’s see some pictures for Kelang Lama @ Kulim.

Different type / color of the drinks. I only bought 1 coconut water with meat, without additional sugar or ice and only cost me RM3.00.

After normal working time @ 5pm, u can see very crowded.

Murtabak (is like minced chicken meat / beef in the Roti Canai)

Nasi Kukus (Steam rice) with some different types of meats and vege.

Sup tulang (Cow’s bone soup)

Info from Wiki: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan)

Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان‎ Ramaḍān,Persian: Ramazān IPA: [rɑmɑˈdˤɑːn];variations Turkish: Ramazān) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 or 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smokingand sex [2] during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Muslims fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله‎, trans: Allah) and to offer more prayer than usual. Compared to the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving backwards by about eleven days each year depending on the moon; thus, a person will have fasted every day of the calendar year in 34 years' time. Muslims believe Ramadan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, being the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
