I woke up Saturday morning at 6.00 am but went back to sleep because it was drizzling.
I woke up again at about 7.00 am and the drizzling has stopped.
We prepared to go out for breakfast.
But the sky remained gloomy.
It was cloudy and gloomy for the rest of the day.
In the evening about 6.30 pm, we went out for our dinner and then to attend the Saturday evening church celebration service.
We have been once to the newly opened Jaya Grocer in Ipoh Parade for lunch. On Sunday evening, we were there to meet up with a friend. After that, we decided to order something for dinner.

We have been passing by here many times. I finally managed to get some snapshots of this place with its painting and gate.
There is an inner gate and an outer butterfly gate.
Roundabout at Jalan Tokong (Bulatan Sultan Abdullah).
Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
The wind blows to the south and turns to the north;
round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.
(Ecclesiastes 1:4-6, New International Version-NIV)
Neat fences ~ like the butterfly fence photo!

ReplyDeleteWe can buy the raw meat and have them cook for us but we just want to try what's available there. Ya, not cheap....
DeleteBut the drumsticks looks tempting....
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while can afford to eat and relax while shopping there.
DeleteNancy you have had dinner in European style.
ReplyDeleteI love Western style meals once in a while. Not too often because they are quite expensive over here.
DeleteThat's a pretty American kind of dinner. Yummy though. I like having the gravy on the side. Sometimes there is too much gravy on stuff.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Nancy. ☺
I like them serving the gravy on the side for us to take as much as we want. The dinner was good.

ReplyDeleteI really liked the butterfly gates, how unusual but very nice!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great day for you, isn't it?
Thank you, Lux. It was a great day!
DeleteNow I must admit that would be a dinner I would be famiilar with. I thought that corn salad looked delicious. - Stormy looking skies, but yet still pretty. - That was a cool gate & mural. They must love motorcycles.

ReplyDeleteNice tour around where you ate.
The corn salad tasted good too. I would love to walk around more but hubby was tired.
DeleteIs that someone's house, the one with the drawing of the girl-on-bike on the pillar?
ReplyDeleteThe corn kernel salad looks nice.
It was originally a house. I suppose now it is converted into a business or office.
DeleteNancy, I like your dinner. The roasted chicken legs and corn salad look very tasty!
