Lunch At Patisserie Boutique & A Visit To Wisma Chye Hin, Ipoh.

Just as we were reaching old town, it started to rain. By the time we reach our destination, it was pouring buckets of rain! Somehow, in spite of the heavy rain, the Golden Girls managed to get to our lunch venue without getting drenched.

More Indoor Murals Arts From Wisma Chye Hin, Ipoh - Part 2.

This is part 2, a continuation of yesterday's post of the indoor mural arts in Wisma Chye Hin. There are too many photos to go into 1 post, so I have decided to divide the photos into 2 posts. Sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the paintings of our local artists.

 Painting of old fashioned shop houses.

The shops including their signage.

 We passed by an old shop. Notice the old on the left and the newly painted on the right?

 We came to this All Inn Cafe at Jalan Panglima, to look for sweet desserts (tong sui in Cantonese).

My friend ordered this custom made sweet dessert @ MYR 5.00

She requested for black herbal jelly mixed with soya bean drink.

And I was attracted to this Special Alfogato @ MYR 6.50

Its black herbal jelly with a scoop of ice-cream.

Our smartphone usually get to taste first.

Thumb up for her custom made dessert.

Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!

Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side,

working with them and not against them.

Help them see that the Master is about to arrive.

He could show up any minute!
