On our first day at our friends' house, we had home cooked lunch and for dinner, we drove to Taiping town. Our friends suggested going to Prima Cafe which we have not been before and we were keen to try out the food there.
We parked our cars in front of the Post Office in Taiping.
While we were waiting for our food, I went outside to take some snapshots.
That is our state "Perak" flag - black, yellow and white.
Government offices.
The District And Land Office (1897).
Taiping Municipal House.
Back to Prima Cafe at the main road (Jalan Taming Sari).
This place serves Halal food (non-pork).
We were the only customers at that time and we need not have to wait long for our food.
Fried Flat noodle (char koay teow)
Sandwich for her hubby. (No pic to show).
My hubby and our hosts ordered the same item.
Nasi Lemak with Rendang Chicken.
Our hosts recommended this coffee to me.
Orange White Coffee. Very special.
As for me, I ordered Nasi Indonesia.
Thank you, friends for a wonderful dinner.

Even before we finished our dinner, there was talk about ice-cream. Since we were full to the brim, someone suggested that we should do some walking first.

We then visited the newly opened Tesco supermarket and ended up buying 2 tubs of ice-cream home. When we reached home, we were ready to enjoy the ice-creams.
Our host bought a tub of green tea ice-cream.
And a tub of 3 in 1 Neapolitan ice-cream.
We chatted as we sat and ate the ice-cream till past mid-night!
"Keep a sharp lookout! For you do not know when I will come,
at evening, at midnight, early dawn or late daybreak.
Don't let me find out sleeping. Watch for my return!
This is my message to you and to everyone else."
