Morning Walk & Breakfast In Penang

When it was bright enough, hubby and I went down to take our morning walk around the hotel. It was about 7:20am plus with gloomy sky.

There was not much traffic at that time.

Macallum Central Hotel.

I wonder if the boss of this chicken rice shop is a fat man.....

The sign above caught my eyes.

"Drink High"

I suppose this sign will be light up at night.

Our friend told us that this is a well known stall selling sweet porridge.

Bubur kacang, gandum & pulut hitam or peanut, oat and black glutinous rice porridge.

They were closed both times we were here.

~~~~~

I didn't ask our friend where he was taking us for breakfast.

Our friend ordered 2 bowls of white curry noodles for 4 of us to share. The curry only tastes good after adding the curry paste served in the spoon.

2 bowls of prawn noodles, also for sharing.

Thin crispy pancakes or apom. Nice and crispy when eaten still warm.

Mixed fruit dessert.

That is all for 4 of us.

~~~~~

Our friend stopped the car in front of the bank. One of us went into the bank and I got down to take some snapshots.

Sculptures of golden rats.

Pulau Tikus means Rat Island.

A few steps away is another sculpture (side view).

After this, we went back to the hotel, packed, checked out and drove back to Ipoh.

Sing praises to the Lord!

Raise your voice in song to him who rides upon the clouds!

Chapati With Mutton And Chicken Curries For Dinner

 Our day started as usual with a morning walk.

8:10am

After morning walk, we drove out to pick up our friends from a car service centre.

While waiting for our friends in front of the car service centre, we watch some cars being unloaded from this car transporter.

We met up with our friends again for dinner at Restoran & Kafe New Weng Fatt in Ipoh Garden.

We ordered the following in small portions from the chapati stall for 4 people to share.

Chicken curry.

Sardine curry.

Potato.

Cabbage

Chicken curry.

Dhall curry.

3 pieces of chapati.

We also ordered 10 sticks of chicken satay (grilled skewered chicken) but forgot to snap photo to show. All the above food is worth going back for.

On the way to our car, we passed by this bike.

I just had to stop to snap these photos.

Next, we drove to the Ipoh Stadium food court for dessert.

Hubby ordered corn cream with shaved ice.

Our friends ordered ice-kacang.

Our friend ordered crispy tofu with cucumber and yam bean salad for sharing.

We all enjoyed this very much.

Also a small plate of Chinese rojak for sharing.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

When we ask the Lord's blessing upon our drinking from the cup

of wine at the Lord's Table, this means, doesn't it,

that all who drink it are sharing together the blessing of Christ's blood?

And when we break off pieces of the bread from the loaf

to eat there together, this shows that

we are sharing together in the benefits of his body.

(1 Corinthians 10:16, The Living Bible-TLB)

A Visit To Penang Botanic Gardens

After our durian snack which I have shared in yesterday's post (here), our next stop was Penang Botanic Gardens.

Fountain near to the parking lot.

Entrance to the Botanic Gardens.

On one of the pillars.

We came across some trees bearing some strange looking fruits.

Most of the fruits are bigger than my palm.

These are Cannon Ball Tree (couroupita guianensis).

Beautiful tall trees.

It was a hot sunny day.

Just sit back and enjoy the photos.

Tree trunk #4

It was a short visit and our next stop was for some dessert.

Tian Yuan Desserts Enterprise.

2 bowls Aiyu Jelly with Calamansi & Passion Fruit @ RM7 each.

1 plate of Sticky Milk Mochi with Grind Peanut @ RM8.

We shared the above as we were reserving our tummy space for dinner.

And God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life;

it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled,

beyond the reach of change and decay.
