A Walk Down To Old Town Tao Fu Far, Ipoh

JOINING IN THE CROWD AT OLD TOWN, IPOH... It is Hari Raya Haji today and it was indeed a very busy day in old town.  After our walk at Parkson in new town, we drove to old town to have a "look" and to join in the crowd as tourists.  Parked our car near Maybank and on the way to Plan B, we passed by this shop which offers quite a variety of "light" food and desserts....

  Situated along Jalan Bijeh Timah, we entered into the premises...
We walked up the stairs and feel kind of "welcomed".... 
And we sat here for our light snack.... 
Took something light since we had a heavy brunch...

My favourite Tau Fu Far...
And spent our time taking pictures of the place instead... 
The theme is on "Soya Bean" in this shop... 
And the paintings on the wall look kind of colourful.... 
And I couldn't help posing a few here and there... 
The place is quiet, I am surprised... 
All for the better... I can take more pictures... 
Looks like this side of the corner are on vases... 
Trying to mimic a kind of movie with my hands... 
And from the window, this is the scene.... 
And on the way down.... 
My "hungry pose"

    Claire, this is new to me. Looks like a really nice cosy place for dessert. I love the wall paintings and decorations there.

    eih, you cut your hair!!! hehehe, feeling cooler now with shorter hair??

    hmmm, the name of the shop in Chinese is not the actual Tau Foo Fah but the owner used words that sound alike only, literally "Pottery Fortune Flower" (which is different from the actual "Toufu Flower").. probably because of this, they have many pottery in the shop..

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....
