Last Saturday was a public holiday to officially observe the celebration of the King's birthday. The Malaysian king is referred to as Yang di-Pertuan Agong and his birthday is officially observed on the 1st Saturday in June each year. Our friend's factory was closed for the public holiday and we decided to have lunch together. We had a very scrumptious lunch and wonderful fellowship.
We had lunch at Dragon-i Restaurant, Ground Floor of Aeon Ipoh, Station 18 Shopping Centre, This is my first visit here.
Soft boiled peanuts as appetizer
MYR 2.00 (approx. 0.49 USD)
Our drinks - 1 glass of American Ginseng, Wolfberry & Aloe Vera (hot) @ MYR 10 (approx. 2.44 USD). And 3 glasses of Chinese Tea for MYR 9.00 (approx. 2.20 USD).
Xiao-Long-Bao - a set of 4 pieces.
MYR 11.50 (approx. 2.82 USD)

There before me lies the mighty ocean,
teeming with life of every kind, both great and small.
And look! See the ships! And over there,
the whale you made to play in the sea.
Every one of these depends on you to give them daily food.
You supply it, and they gather it.
You open wide your hand to feed them,
and they are satisfied with all your bountiful provision.
(Psalm 104:25-28, The Living Bible-TLB)
