Lunch In Penang Before Driving Back To Ipoh

From Penang Hill, we reached the apartment just before 12 noon. Our bags were all packed and ready to go but we need to wait for the owner to collect the keys and check the apartment before claiming back our deposit. We got into the car and drove over to Ghee Hiang (next to Tropicana) to buy a few bottles of sesame oil and biscuits. We took snapshots of these cute sculptures in front of the building.

After Ghee Hiang biscuit shop, our friend directed us to a food court for lunch. I can't remember the name or place of the food court. We shared the following food items.

We bought 2 packet of nasi lemak with blue rice (blue pea colour).

Steamed kuih in brown sugar syrup.

Not enough, more to come.

Then came this rojak Mamak style

Chinese doughnuts or hum chim peng.

We find these tastier than those in Ipoh.

A bowl of assam laksa to taste.

Some roasted pork to taste.

Coffee with floral pattern.

Penang has their own white coffee.

Crossing Penang bridge back to the mainland.

Goodbye Penang, until our next visit.

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and

believes him who sent me has eternal life and

will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

Shopping & Durian Snack At Sustera Mall, Johor Bahru.

After our brunch, we drove to Sutera Mall. I get to snap the Hari Raya decorations at the Mall. The first day of the Hari Raya celebration falls on the 15 June, 2018.

 Durians for sale at the mall.

We saw a roll of durian stalls on the main road, next to the car park.

To satisfy our curiosity, we walk over to take a look at the price.

 These are branded durians and they are quite expensive.

 We prefer the kampung durians.

 The seller chose 2 kampung durian for us.

The flesh is light beige and the taste was bitter sweet with thick creamy texture.

 2 medium sized durians for 2 people.

 After eating the durian, we had fresh coconut water.

 They also sell pineapples but we didn't buy any.

 Customers can also choose to sit here to enjoy the food.

 We enjoyed the durian very much.

 And we will be back for more durians.

Come, let's talk this over, says the Lord;

no matter how deep the stain of your sins,

I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.

Even if you are stained as red as crimson,

I can make you white as wool!

A Weekend Visiting AEON Big & Billion Mart.

Recently, we have 2 newly opened supermarkets in our area. With these 2 supermarkets and the existing Billion, we need not have to go all the way to town for our shopping. Plus we can avoid the stress of traffic jam. How I spent my weekend.....

Friday evening

Last Friday evening, hubby and I went to get some provision at AEON Big while most people were preparing or having their dinner. I feel that this is the best time as there will be less crowd.

 A sunset shot from the AEON parking lot.

 Another sunset shot.

One end of AEON Big.

The rest of AEON Big building. It is called AEON MidTown Falim.

Saturday afternoon

Saw a flyer advertising the opening of Billion Mart.

We were curious so we went to take a look.

It is off the Silibin main road

It is located along Jalan Pusat Perniagaan Silibin 2 (Silibin Business Centre).
I have not been to this part of Silibin area before.

It was crowded and long queues at all the payment counters. We just walked one round and came out empty handed. The queues were too long and we didn't want to wait.

I took this snapshot of people queuing up for free tasting.

Sunday afternoon

 After church worship service, we went to eat laksa at Falim, then went to visit AEON Big with my sister and friends.

Chinese New Year decoration in AEON Big.

In front of supermarket.

There is a food court on the top floor. 

Might try out some of the food here on our next visit.

A giant mock Television at the Food Court. The kids were having fun inside the TV.

I spotted a mural which I have missed on my previous trip.

The purpose of my instruction is that all believers

would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart,

a clear conscience, and a genuine faith.

But some people have missed this whole point.

They have turned away from these things

and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

(1 Timothy 1:5-6, NLT)
