Lunch For Two At De Cuisine, Ipoh

On Friday, I received a text message from a friend of mine that she will be free to meet up with me for lunch. We haven't met for almost half a year. After a few messages going to and fro, we agreed to meet up for lunch at De Cuisine in Ipoh town. Both of us ordered set lunch.

 Mushroom soup with toasted bread for both of us.

 For the main course, I chose grilled lamb with black pepper sauce.

It was served with potato wedges & salad.

For the main course, my friend chose chicken chop with black pepper sauce.

 We both had coffee.

 For dessert, we had dark chocolate brownie with ice-cream.

How time flies!

He sends his orders to the world.

How swiftly his word flies.
