Dinner At New TS VIP Restaurant @ Ipoh City & Country Club, Ipoh.

One of our church friends called up to invite us to join a group for a Chinese set dinner. A set dinner is usually prepared for 10 people. This is a promotion set dinner costing about RM 400 per set.

The dinner was booked for Monday evening which was a nice cool evening. We looked forward to joining this group not just for dinner but also for fellowship because most of us do not have the time to stay back after church. Our dinner consists of the following:

#1 - Four Hot & Cold Combinations

This is the way it was served.

and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.

For the past few months, the langsat, duku langsat, etc. are in season.

Hubby and I have been enjoying kilos of these sweet sourish fruits.

The cheapest price we have enjoyed so far is 3 kilos for RM10.

\One day a friend sent me a picture of a scorpion she found hidden among the langsat she bought. It was good that she or anyone of her family members was stung by the scorpion.

Another time, she found these among the langsat she brought home. Another friend's husband was bitten by a scorpion and it was a very painful experience.So for all langsat lovers, do be careful and look out for these when you reach out for the langsats.

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

New Year Eve Dinner With Friends At Wan Li Xiang Roasters

After having taken lunch here with a long time friend at Wan Li Xiang Roasters few days ago, we found that the food was very tasty. We decided to order the promotional dinner set which will be on until mid January. My friend organized and got together all 10 of us and we were back here again for the New Year Eve dinner.

My friends were at the restaurant before us. Traffic was heavy on the road and we reached in time just when the first dish was brought to the table. The moment we sat down, we gave thanks to God for the meal and our dinner began. Timing was just perfect!

 First dish - Poached free range chicken served with blended ginger.

Sorry about the chicken head. When eating in Chinese restaurants, it is auspicious to serve the dish together with the head and tail. It symbolizes a good start and finish.

 Roasted Piglet.

The same applies to the head and legs.

 Plain Steamed Grouper

Fish means prosperity and the same applies for the head and tail.

 Fried Prawns

Mixed dish of green, mushroom & deep fried rolled cuttlefish.

Fragrant Fried Rice.

 For cold sweet dessert - Canned longan with kwai ling ko jelly.

We polished off every dish and it was a very scrumptious dinner

Dinner set of 7 dishes for 10 people costs MYR 368.

you are God without beginning or end.

doing the best for us that they knew how,

but God's correction is always right and for our best good,

that we may share his holiness.
