O’Days ….Make My Day

Having a basic meal can be difficult in Ipoh because there is so much variety available.

A light lunch meal with a delicious nyonya desert for a satisfying ending

This could be at the Big Tree (Tai See Keok) noodles and liew at Pasir Pinji or a fresh Chapati with Mint gravy at Moga Punjab at Little India or simply at one of dozens of economy rice shops found everywhere.

Steaming hot rice with chicken curry

With so much to choose from I discovered another outlet where their LITTLE extra is their desert of nyonya kueh.

O’Day’s at 21 Lorong Cecil Rae,Canning Garden serves the usual fare of nasi lemak, kunyit rice and chicken curry and asam laksa all very tasty.

However it is their nyonya kueh talam, pulut kaya or sambal udang on offer that has tempted me, twice so far, to want to have a light lunch meal there.

Served in small slices somehow the old style nyonya kueh desert always gives that satisfying end to a meal.

Red bean, pulut kaya or onde onde O'Days has a good variety

Their onde onde wasn’t sweet enough (I like it when you bite into the gluey dough and the sweet gula Malacca squishes to coat your taste buds) though their pulut offerings was satisfying.

Nostalgic, Ubi Kayu Inti.

It was their Ubi Kayu Inti that brought 

back nostalgic memories when I used to have homemade ubi kayu but topped with sweet grated coconut.

A light meal but which offers a satisfying ending will always be an attraction to want to return to O’Day’s to make my day.
