Sit Back And Enjoy Sidewalk Ice Cream

There is only one dessert shop that lasted for twenty years here in Ipoh Garden. When my kids were very young, my husband and I used to take them to this ice cream shop called Sidewalk, just opposite the Ipoh Garden food court.  We like to go there especially after our dinner, just to relax and enjoy the sweet desserts....

Just recently we went there for the third time... the first two times, we did not manage to eat the ice cream for it was so crowded!  However on this third outing to Sidewalk, we stayed put...  we decided to Wait Patiently... after all, we were not rushing for time... no patience means we have to walk out again...  :)
I sat next to the small fountain well... 
There was an empty table next to us but it was soon occupied while waiting....
The ambience is still the same.... even it was more than 20 years...
I like the old style design...
It reminds me of the good old memories...
I think there is a nostalgic kind of feeling in this place...
A very natural pose.... intentionally put.....
My friend will "thrash" me when she sees this...
The half hour wait was very worth it!
I like this type of style.... really brings back those 1970s kind of feel!
This cost around RM11.90 or so...
And This Is.....
My Choice of Ice Cream!
Not expensive... less than RM13 or RM14....
This is what I called Ice Cream Galore!
The word "FAT" was not in my mind then.......
I just sat back and enjoyed it to the fullest......

    FAT? What's that? Is that a word? It must be the synonym for DELICIOUS :D

    The ice cream must be really tasty for the shop to be standing strong for 20 years.

    Awesome, Claire! For me, ice-cream is a huge comfort food. Because I used to have it as a kid. Do you have ice-cream trucks that drives around and rings a bell? We all need some ice-cream once in awhile. OH, I would love to go with you!!!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
