Taiping Casual Market

Last Sunday, My girl and I went to Taiping to meet my mum. We haven't seen her for a month and we missed her.

I started driving at 11.45am and my girl phoned my mum to tell her that we should reach her place by 12.30pm.

Sure enough, I reached at that time and my mum was already ready to go out for lunch with us. I took her to the Casual market in Taiping. I ordered 5 different kinds of food and we shared..

Rojak

Fried kueh teow

Mee Rebus

Char Siew rice

Assam Laksa


We managed to finish all of them. Then we adjourned to the Taiping Sentral and Tesco. We even went for a movie, The Total Recall before we took our dinner at the Old Town White Coffee. And we went back to my mum's place just on time to watch the badminton final.

    looks like this post title should be "Taiping Trip" instead of "Taiping Casual Market".. because you seem to have done a lot of activities there, haha~~

      I have got no idea about its name. Maybe because it's for casual makan.

      It was a last min decision so I didn't plan with the two sisters.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
