Early Anson

Timing was perfect this year because All Soul's Day fell on a Saturday. On Friday evening, Bro, mum, and I attended All Saint's Day Mass, and early the next day, we pushed off to Teluk Intan. We made good time because we started out just a little after 6 AM. No delays at all. In a break from routine, we ate breakfast at Bidor Wet Market. Kedai Kopi Pun Sim was a recommendation from BIL. They discovered the place during one of their many road trips. Go for their fresh YTF, very crispy and delicious. The kopi was a little off though. After eating, mum went exploring in the market.





We arrived at Teluk Intan before 9:30 AM. Still had time to pack some CCF and glutinous rice for dad. All Soul's Day Mass was in progress at St. Anthony's Church, while the cemetery was a hive of activity. Not often that we catch the 'rush hour' crowd. After getting dad's grave cleaned up, we presented his favourite food, and lit candles and incense. This year, Little Monster led the prayer session by reciting the whole Chaplet of the Dead. Very proud of him. At about 10:30 AM, the parish priest started to make his rounds, blessing the graves with holy water.





And of course we went to Sin Joo Heong for our heong peah and kaya puff fix before turning over to Pekan Baru to visit my uncle. My uncle seems to have taken a liking to upcycling packing straps into woven baskets. Once corner of the living room was stacked with baskets of all shapes and sizes. Brought several of the nicer designs home, and also some miku!







Once in a while, we go for the famous Liew Kee (Ah Lek) Chee Cheong Fun. Arrived at the factory at around 3:00 PM, and we were turned away. While waiting for them to open, we loitered for around an hour at a nearby coffee shop called Restoran Sembilan Tiga Tiga. The roti canai and ABC was lackluster but it only made the first bite of the Anson chee cheong fun so much more delicious in comparison. Once we had several packets of the yummy stuff, we made our way home.







By 6:00 PM, we were at Damansara Uptown. Chose Burgertory, the nearest restaurant to where we parked our car. Too exhausted to look around. The SS15 Burger had a very distinctive taste due to their secret BBQ sauce. The kids couldn't accept it. Bacon Madness is suitable for pork lovers, but the candied bacon embedded in the bun is a tad to sweet in my opinion. And if you like peanut butter, go for the Peanut Butter Bacon.



Called it a night after two bubble tea stops, one at Black Sheep, and another at Chatto. There's gonna be as many bubble tea brands as there are animals in the world.
