Exhibits At Aeon Falim & Saturday's Critters

Instead of sunrise, we had a mist covered Kledang Hill view on this particular morning.

Cool morning with mist covered hill at 7:15am.

That afternoon we went to Aeon Falim Shopping Mall and saw there was something on. I went to take a closer look.

Galeri Uniti Keluarga Malaysia from 3rd - 8th Oct, 2022.

A program to foster the spirit of unity among Malaysians.

The time was about 2:30pm. Only a handful of people there, so easy for me to snap some photos.

Time to go home. It looked like it might rain soon.

A friend came to visit and gave me the above biscuits. The filling has coffee flavouring.

That evening we had small group meeting. Since the pandemic, we have been meeting online using the Whatsapp group video call feature. It only allows 8 contact numbers at a time. Meeting this way is convenient and works well for us because most of the elderlies no longer drive at night.

I stopped to snap photo of the cat on the roof of the car.

This dog came into the picture.

The dog was not happy and started barking at me.

The cat doesn't look happy either with me taking its photo.

On the walk home, I saw this big cat cleaning itself on the roof of a car. It doesn't look happy either! It seems to say, "Hey, why are you taking my photo without my permission!"

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Who can command things to happen without the Lord's permission?

Does not the Most High send both calamity and good?

Then why should we, mere humans,

complain when we are punished for our sins?

Craving For Deep Fried Neen Koh Snack, Pasir Pinji, Ipoh.

This was Father's Day weekend. As usual, we went for our walk at the park.

Sunrise at 7:25 am.

 The sun was partially blocked by the trees and reflection on the pond.

*     *     *     *     *

On Saturday afternoon, I was thinking of deep fried "neen koh" snack. I remembered our friends who too took a liking to this snack and I invited them to join us. Here are some snapshots of our friend who is so sporting to show the smooth, sticky and glooey texture of the "neen koh" snack.

This crunchy snack consists of a piece of glutinious rice sweet cake (kuih), sandwiched between a piece of taro and a piece of sweet potato, dipped into the flour batter and then deep fried. 

 When fried, the batter is very crunchy and the "neen koh" becomes glooey.

 As we take a bite, we have to be careful to avoid the glooey "neen koh" flowing onto our hand.

 Our friend is showing you how he eats the "neen koh" snack! Hahahaaa!

Afternoon sky at 4:15 pm

 After indulging in the "neen koh" snack, we didn't want any dinner.

We drove to Aeon Big shopping mall to walk off some calories.

 There was a food and beverage expo at the mall.

 Cute buns for sale.

 Food stalls outside the mall.

 Stalls inside the mall.

We ended up at a cafe for a cup of drink before driving home. Usually I will be tempted to order their tasty curry puff but this time we just ordered unsweetened black coffee with ice for hubby and a hot lemon tea for me.

The temptations in your life are no different

from what others experience. And God is faithful.

He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.

When you are tempted,

he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

(1 Corinthians 10:13, New Living Translation-NLT)

Dinner At Hoy Seng Kitchen, Aeon Falim, Ipoh.

It was a Saturday evening in the middle of this month (January) that 6 of us gathered at Aeon Falim. Initially, we have no idea what we want to eat for dinner. Once we met up at Aeon Falim, we decided on Hoy Seng Kitchen. This was the first visit for most of us. We ordered a set dinner for 4 people and add-on some extra dishes.

 The set dinner consists of:

#1 - A pot of yam rice.

 Even the 6 of us could hardly finish this pot of rice.

 #2 - Cuttlefish balls soup

 #3 - Stuffed dried bean curd (bean curd puffs)

#4 - Herbal jelly which I forgot to snap a picture to show.

And we added the following 3 dishes.

 a) Blanched green vegetable.

b) Chilled pork with appetizing salad

 c) Deep fried pork

 The set dinner we ordered is on the right - RM 39.00

Someone blessed us with this dinner treat.

 Took this snapshot before the place was filled up.

We were one of the early birds.

The dinner crowds started to fill up the place when our food was ordered.

The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways.

But a good man will be satisfied from above.

(Proverbs 14:14, New King James Version-NKJV)

Lunch At Sun Yin Loong Cafe, Aeon Falim, Ipoh.

We went to Aeon Falim because I want to do some shopping at the supermarket. We have taken coffee at the Sun Yin Loong Cafe once and this time, we decided to try lunch. We ordered the following to share.

A plate of nasi lemak with chicken curry.

We also order toast bread with butter and coconut jam.

And 2 glasses of iced coffee.

As usual, we were the early customers.

Quickly take some snapshots before other customers come in.'

Sun Yin Loong is known for its white coffee.

This is the entrance to the cafe from inside Aeon.

And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?

That is what the Scriptures are talking about when they say,

"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace

with God and bring glad tidings of good things.

In other words, how welcome are those

who come preaching God's Good News!

(Romans 10:15, The Living Bible-TLB)

Bonsai Suiseki Competition At Aeon Falim, Ipoh.

A friend informed me that there was a Bonsai Suiseki competition and exhibition at Aeon Falim. The exhibition was held on the 23rd Dec. Two evenings later, we dropped by to see the exhibition. We have never seen so many Bonsai plants, wood and rocks on display and we were glad we went. Thanks to our friend for informing me. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Suiseki also known as viewing stones is the Japanese art of stone appreciation. Formed through time by wind and water, stones can take several sizes and shapes, reminding us of natural objects.
