This was 2 Saturdays ago. It was grey and gloomy. We were at a coffee shop waiting to be seated. While our hubbies waited, my friend and I decided to take a short walk through this gate that was opened.
This is a walkway to the Palo 101 where some eateries are located.
As we walked through the gate we saw banana trees on both sides of the gate. We saw this pretty flower that looks like a banana flower. 
Banana flowers usually hang downwards but these flowers point upwards. The leaves looks like banana leaves.

Thank evening, we drove to Gopeng for dinner at Restoran J.J. Fatt, Lawan Kuda.
Deep fried pork belly slices with deep fried garlic. Very tasty.
We ordered 1 snakehead fish.
The bony parts of the fish for cooking soup with wine and Chinese herbs.
The meaty part of the fish for cooking with ginger slices and spring onion.
Baby tender Chinese kai lan with garlic and salted fish.
The restaurant grow their own vegetables.

The photos of the following murals were taken in Batu Gajah.
Drawn on brickwall.
Tin mining dredge.
Saw this on the side wall of a hotel,
The ruins of the unfinished castle, Batu Gajah.
It is a parking lot and I have to find a suitable angle to take this photo.
Clock tower in Batu Gajah town.
Linking to Monday Mural.
For whenever I am,
though far away at the ends of the earth,
I will cry to you for help.
When my heart is faint and overwhelmed,
lead me to the mighty, towering Rock of safety.
(Psalm 61:2, The Living Bible-TLB)
Interesting looking dishes, not quite like what we would usually see here.

DeleteThank you Nancy. Your dinner looks delicious so I would gladly eat a few spoonfuls from each dish without any rice. Is that unfinished castle, Kelly castle? I read that it is haunted.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is Kelly castle. Haunted or not, I don't know but I wouldn't want to spend a night there. Lol!
DeleteThat's interesting, and I have never seen a banana flower bloom upward, and this should be a variety in the banana family, I think. Beautiful artwork on the walls!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.

DeleteThe bony part of the fish, They gave you the bony part of the fish and you had to pay for that? I can see the meat but bones?

DeleteThat's a pretty flower, no matter what kind it is.
ReplyDeleteI really like the painting of the castle ruins.
