Cendol Dessert at Bercham, Ipoh.

I have heard about this famous Cendol stall in Bercham but I have not been there nor have tasted it before. Last Saturday after our lunch at Caterbest, we walked over to the stall and were told by one of the customers that everything had been sold out.

The next day, after our Sunday lunch at Restaurant Chong Say Kee, we were driving home and we have to pass by this Cendol stall. I requested hubby to stop at the Cendol stall. This time we were early and I get to taste the Cendol.

 There was a queue and I joined in the queue. It was midday and it was very hot.

I managed to stand under the big umbrella.

Everyone was patiently queuing up for their turn, including me.

The Cendol stall is in front of the Caltex petrol station and facing the opposite Shell petrol station.

Here is the price listing. To pack and take away, there is an additional charge of 0.50 cents.

If you want to eat your dessert there, either you stand and eat or you can sit in your car and enjoy the dessert.

He is a one man show and he works very fast.

He starts his business around 12.30 pm and the dessert is usually sold out by 2.30 pm or earlier.

So far this is the best Cendol I have tasted in Ipoh. I noticed that both the palm syrup and coconut milk are really thick, and these make a great difference to the taste of the dessert.

Most important is that I noticed the stall is clean.

Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?

Who may stand in His holy place?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.

(Psalm 24:3-4, NIV)

2015 Year End Blessings.

We will be bidding 2015 goodbye in a few days time. Before that I want to thank God Almighty for a blessed year even with its many ups and downs. God has been faithful and He is faithful!

I was blessed with these 4 pots of beautiful Petunia plants.

These blessings came through a good friend of mine.

Many thanks to the giver and the middle person!

I have been wanting to buy these Petunias from the plant nursery. The flowers are in so many colours that I couldn't make up my mind. God knows and blessed me with 4 pots of multi colours. There are 2 pots where the plant blooms different coloured flowers.

On closer look this plant has many shades of purple.

This one has a bigger size flower.

Aren't they beautiful?

There is another dark purple in the 2nd and 3rd pic and it looks like velvet.

And my own frangipani plant in full bloom!

One morning a friend phoned up to say she was bringing something for us.

It turned out to be a big bunch of bananas, freshly harvested from her garden.

This is one of the many baby plants I received from another friend.

I love its bright and striking yellow bloom. Just 1 bloom is enough to brighten up the corner of my garden. We were also blessed with many other things by many people but you know who you are. Thank you for your gifts even though I have no photos to show.

It was a last minute decision to put up my Christmas tree and I just decorated it with whatever I have. Hopefully next year I will remember to get new ornaments to hang on the tree.

"Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather and come to you.
As surely as I live," declares the Lord,
"you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride."
(Isaiah 49:17-18, New International Version-NIV)

Seafood Factory And Saturday's Critters.

After our visit and lunch at Refarm in Temoh which I have posted here, we stopped at a Fish Factory on our way home. I requested my friend to show me the way to the factory, so that in future if I do pass by this way I can pick up some seafood for my fridge.

Name of Seafood Factory - Sykt. Pembekalan Makanan2 Laut Hock Joo.
It is just behind the Hillcity Hotel, located along Hala Rapat Baru 20, Ipoh. 

Malaysian Tiger Grouper Fishes - alive and swimming.

Tilapia Fishes.

We bought some frozen salmon and codfish.

We requested for the frozen codfish chunks to be sawed into pieces.

Took a snapshot of this dog waiting for its owner on one of our morning walk.

I can't remember where I took this picture.

It was camera shy.

 Took this outside a shop.

 The problem with them is that they leave behind a lot of droppings on our laundry on the line. We have lots of pigeons in our area because our neighbours have been feeding them. 

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Yes, He humbled you by letting you go hungry

and then feeding you with manna,

a food previously unknown to both you and your ancestors.

He did it to help you realize that food isn't everything,

and that real life comes by obeying every command of God.

(Deuteronomy 8:3, TLB)
