Night Market at People's Park Chang Jiang White Coffee

This was a Friday night. We had just finished our dinner with friends and were on our way home. Our friend took the road that pass by the People's Park in Ipoh old town. People's Park is usually dark in the night but that night I noticed that the place was lighted up. We were curious to find out what it was all about. Our friend parked the car a short distance away and we walked over to the People's Park.

Chang Jiang White Coffee at the People's Park.

I have been here twice in the day time before it's official opening.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photos because I was using my handphone camera.

The whole place was lit up with stalls spaced out here and there. 

According to one of the stalls owner, the night market is open only on weekends.

This night market is not very crowded probably because not many people know about it. We didn't buy anything because we just had our dinner.

This used to be a BBQ Lamb restaurant but now occupied by Chang Jiang White Coffee. Okay, let's go by the main entrance to take a look inside.

Main dining area.Customers can also choose to enjoy their food here if they want which is opposite the main dining area. That night, this place was not occupied.

An old fashioned weaving wooden loom.

Looks very completed to me.

I wonder if this type of weaving loom is still in use today.

Everyone enjoys giving good advice,

and how wonderful it is

to be able to say the right thing at the right time!

A Short Visit To Temple Street Night Market, Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Day 3 - Temple Street night market.

Upon returning from Macau, we made our way to Temple Street. We had a dinner appointment near Temple Street. We were early and to spend the time, we took a walk to enjoy the night market.

The gateway or archway to Temple Street.

Noticed the clean street.

The street closed to traffic and was crowded with visitors.

Popular eatery - fully packed to the brim.

All shops fully lighted up.

Eateries enjoying good business.

Aha! I saw my favourite fruit - Durians!!!

There were many brightly lit stalls selling all kinds of things. I took some photos but they didn't turn out well.

We did not try any of the food here because we were keeping out tummies for our scrumptious dinner.

On our way back, we noticed that this place was still packed with customers.

Direction post.

The LORD directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the LORD holds them by the hand.

Our Dinner From Night Market (Pasar Malam), First Garden (Taman Pertama), Ipoh

During my working days, Friday was the day I did my marketing for fresh fruits and vegetables from the night market in First Garden. The night market comes to First Garden every Friday. Many claimed that First Garden enjoys one of the biggest night market in Ipoh.

When the weather is not too hot, we enjoy strolling and looking at all the interesting items on display in the night market. Some of the items found in the night market cannot be found in the normal shops or the supermarkets. Even some of the food items can only be found in the night markets and not else where.

To be able to enjoy the night market, you must have the time and not be in a hurry. The passage for walking is narrow and the people in front may be walking quite slowly, looking or even stopping to have a closer look at the items or buying them. And if you are following behind, you will also have to stop or squeeze your way to go through and continue your walk.

Once in a while, we would buy some of the food from the night market for our dinner. My favourite food from the night market is popiah (Chinese spring rolls). There are many popiah stalls but I only like the popiah from one particular stall. We have been buying popiah from this stall for many years.

This is the popiah uncle. The business is very good and from the start to the end, there will always be a crowd around the stall. This uncle now plays a less active role, he only collects the money, the son and daughter prepare the popiah.

This is also another one of my favourite stall. This stall sells char kueh, which is fried rice cake with multiple ingredients. He will be frying non-stop and sometimes he has a male or a female assistance to help him when he gets tired.

This looked like a van selling some kind of accessories. He just park the van, open up the sides and back and he is ready for business. Very convenient for him.

Very colourful slippers, sandals and shoes for sale.

This is part of a fruits stall selling all kinds of fruits and mangoes.

Either this young man is just curious or he is not happy with me aiming my camera in his direction.

The crowd is growing.

Popcorn and pancake stall.

Some kind of fried sausages.

Lekur (fish crackers) stall.

This is the luk-luk or dip-dip (cook in boiling water) stall. There are many varieties to choose from, just dip the skewers with the ingredients into boiling water to cook and then dip them into the spicy peanut sauce or chili sauce before eating them.

I find this stall very interesting, full of so many varieties of fried goodies. All types of fried sausages, nuggets, fish balls and fish cakes, etc.

More varieties on skewers.

Fried chicken, crabs, potato wedges, etc. We have not tried all these fried things yet but one day I might be tempted to try the fried crabs. Maybe....

For this particular evening, we decided to give this laksa stall a try.

We ordered a bowl of laksa to share. It is quite tasty.

We came to this BBQ chicken wings & drumstick stall. Bought 2 chicken drumsticks.

Dinner for two - 2 chicken drumsticks and a bowl of laksa.

Yet He has not left Himself without testimony:
He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven
and crops in their seasons; He provides you
with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.
(Acts 14:17, New International Version-NIV)
