Going Sauk In Search Of Food.

Friend B mentioned on last Wednesday night about going to Sauk on Thursday morning. But there was no follow up on whether the plan was on or not. On Thursday morning, as usual I woke up and went for my morning walk. I was watering my plants when I received a call from Friend A that Friend B will be coming to pick me at 9.30 am. I looked at the clock and it was 9.10 am and I hurriedly finished watering my plants and rushed to take my bath. I was all ready by the time Friend B reached my house, 

 After picking up Friend A from her house, we were on our way to Sauk, travelling on the highway.

 As we neared the toll plaza near Kuala Kangsar, the traffic was moving very slowly. 

 One of the workers informed us that one of the toll booth was not in use and we needed to change to another lane.

The time was almost 11 am.

Queuing at the toll plaza.

 Entrance gate with beautiful arch to welcome visitors to Kampung Baru Sauk. Friend B slowed down the car for me to take this photo.

 So kind of Friend B to take us on a short drive to look around.

 A Chinese school in Sauk.

The eatery "Restoran Baru Lau Kai Ikan Sungai" is just on the right side of the entrance gate.

 Saw this big pumpkin hanging from the vine besides the eatery.

While my friends were going through the menu with the lady boss, I took a short walk. I found the police station a short distance away, on the same main road. 

I found another eatery which was recommended by my other friends. The eatery was not opened yet and that will have to wait for another foodie trip.

I saw squirrels in a cage in front of a shop, next to the eatery.

 I returned to where my friends were and saw this cute kitty on a plastic chair.

 I was told by the owner that this kitty couldn't "meow" or make any sound.

 She's so friendly. She posed for me in various positions.

This cat kept me entertained while waiting for the food to be served.

 This is the main road of Sauk.

The other side of the main road.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

And a main road will go through that once-deserted land;

it will be named "The Holy Highway."

No evil-hearted men may walk upon it.

God will walk there with you;

even the most stupid cannot miss the way.

No lion will lurk along its course,

nor will there be any other dangers;

only the redeemed will travel there.

(Isaiah 35:8-9, TLB)
