BESIDES GOOD FOOD, IPOH HAS LOTS TO OFFER... when my friend came visiting to Ipoh, I took him to places he had not been before.... anyway, we didn't cover much since time was so limited..

Wedding bells are in the air! The bridal shops and restaurants are in full blast again, bookings have to be made in advance and that goes the same for hotels' ballrooms too. And there are many couples who opt for garden weddings these days, I think it is a very romantic, having a wedding...
I DON'T EAT OUT MOST OF THE TIME, only in the mornings or lunch... so most evenings, Reanaclaire does cook if nobody buys her dinner... hahahaa... Since I have much free time now, I do like to venture into homecooking dishes and it is so unfortunate that my kids are not with me nowto enjoy MY...
MY FIRST MEAL OF THE DAY is normally taken outside.. no homecooked breakfast in my house anymore especially now kids are grown and have left their nests here in Ipoh... I always look forward to having my first meal of the day, the appetite is always "stronger" in the mornings than the evenings...
SINCE WE RETIRED IN FEBRUARY, ELIN AND I didn't get together much... both of us are busy in our own ways, we keep in touch through our Facebook posts most of the time. While chatting one day on Facebook, she suggested coming out for dinner and I readily agreed... She and WB wanted to buy us dinner at...
I THOUGHT AFTER I STOPPED WORKING, I would be on the slimmer side... however, it was not meant to be... From February onwards I have been feeding myself with food and more food... so blessed, I know... but when I got the report from the doctor recently, I have to refrain from taking certain good food...
ONE WEEK AGO, SHE TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE ANY APPOINTMENT ON THIS SUNDAY EVENING.. Little did I know it was Mother's day until almost everyone started to wish everyone Happy Mother's Day on Facebook... so.. Mother's Day is on again! No wonder she dated me...How do I see Mother's day? Come on.. isn't it...
TO CELEBRATE MY FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY, we went to Kampar Club..... It was a Friday and to our surprise, there was not a single table occupied except for ours!

WENT FOR MY MORNING WALK IN POLO GROUND THIS MORNING and had a early breakie at Bercham New Paradise... I took a plate of noodles and some fish balls and that was around 9.30am...At around 11am, I was "seduced" again by food callers... That is my weakness, I really have to admit.... Well, I didn't want to...
GOOD TO BE BACK IN IPOH and everything was back to normal again! The next night after my arrival, I was back on a food galore again... this time we had a gathering to welcome back a an "old classmate" from New Zealand.

WITH THE ITALIAN FOOD FILLED UP IN OUR TUMMIES, a walk around the lake received our nods of agreement before we finally called it a day... The weather was getting colder and colder by the days and we were very well prepared for it... The ground was still wet...There was a slight drizzle when we were...
ON THE FIFTH AND OUR LAST DAY OF OUR FREE AND EASY TRIP, we went for an Italian meal at Jamie Oliver Restaurant. The day before we went there, we saw a queue right outside the restaurant and I was told that this place is normally crowded every day especially during lunch hour...Knowing that, we went there...
DIM SUM IN CHINATOWN FOR BREAKFAST and Pumpkin Curry Chicken for our dinner! First time I heard of cooking pumpkin in curry paste.. not only it is more healthy, it also enhances the gravy to a thicker level without using any santan or milk... that is definitely a healthy replacement for the creamy...
ON THE FOURTH MORNING IN ADELAIDE, we took around twenty minutes walk to the Chinatown... for two purposes, firstly, to have our Dim Sum breakie and secondly to do some marketing for dinner in the evening... Eating out is not "cheap" at all so we need to balance out our costs... And so here we are... right...

The vineyard in front of Jacob's Creek... And the beautiful vineyard along the Adelaide Hills...The weather was...
FEELING THAT WE HAVE DRUNK MORE THAN ENOUGH, we ladies walked out into the terrace for some fresh air... after all, we do not know how to enjoy or differentiate a good wine from one another.... it would be such a "waste" if we kept on sipping with "forced" expressions on our faces.... hahahaa... We were not...
