Noodles, Snack, Coffee & Gifts.

On one particular day, we had breakfast in Restoran Tet Shin. We like and enjoy the Mee Jawa very much and that morning, hubby as usual ordered Mee Jawa.
 Mee Jawa @ RM 5.00. Hubby likes the crispy fried prawns.
  I am more adventurous and I like to try new stalls so I ordered this Pan Mee.
 After breakfast, we stopped at the Ipoh central market to buy some coffee powder.
For lunch, I made unsweetened black coffee for hubby and myself.
 One day earlier, hubby bought this durian flavour biscuits or "heong piah" from Gunung Rapat and we ate the biscuits with black coffee for lunch.
 That day, we were blessed with these fresh fruits. Some were from my sister-in-law and some from my friend. 
 A special thanks to this friend who brought this mug all the way from her holidays as a gift for hubby. I "opened ceremony" and used this mug to make iced milo for hubby! I love the verses printed on the on the mug.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12"
&
"....if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin
and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14"

The following photo of Taiping's markets is for joining Tuesday's Treasure & Image-in-ing.
The old market was built in 1884 and the new market built in 1885.


Your boasting is not good.
Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-
as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
(1 Corinthians 5:6-7, New International Version-NIV)

  1. I love your first bible verse, always thought it is so beautiful and inspiring. The market looks wonderful!!! Try as I might, I have never been able to drink coffee black. I have to have cream and sugar.

  25. I like mee jawa too... they are somehow not that easily found in KL. Usually they will be available only at upmarket kopitiams.

    Those home-grown mangoes are huge!

    1. It is also not easy to find good ones here. Most probably my sister in law bought the mangoes because she doesn't have a fruit garden. Have a wonderful day!
