Tagged Along To Mr. BBQ, Taiping

I FOLLOWED THE SAIL... Yes, I was blessed with another dinner when Aaron was home for a short week stay.  Both of us were driven to Taiping for a scrumptious dinner with the Goh's family.   Oh correction, I guess I invited myself to the dinner at the last minute..... hahhaahaa... All I thought was a dinner in Taiping by the family and that was it.  Didn't know that one family from Taiping played host to the dinner!  So sorry to "gate-crushed" to your dinner, my friends.....

The dinner was held at Mr. BBQ Restaurant along Jalan Maharajalela, the road leading to the Lake Gardens, Taiping.  It was my second time to this restaurant and I noticed it has been renovated since.. The food was indeed special in their own way....
Steamed fish.... 

Four different greens....
Smooth Silky Beancurd in pumpkin sauce....
More leafy young greens... I do welcome that....
Braised duck in special sauce....
And their special dish is Curry Pork Ribs in Roasted Giant Bun....
One can opt for curry chicken I suppose... 
I would love to try that the next time...
Oh, I didn't ask for the price cos it was paid by this wonderful family from Taiping...

Thank you so much for "having" me to tag along.... 
I was indeed blessed with a scrumptious dinner...
Hope we meet again some day in Ipoh!

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....
