The Hidden Japanese Garden in D.R. Seenivasagam Park

Recently, feeling quite bored, I have been exploring Ipoh. One of the hidden jewels is this place - Japanese Garden in D.R. Seenivasagam Park ! If you have read a post long time ago, there is another Japanese Garden [here] which was my mom and dad's favourite. The post was written 3 years ago! Yes, unbelievably, time flew like rocket! Reading back the post, it has rekindled some passion in writing my bloggie. 

Anyhow, this is the majestic entrance of the Japanese Garden in D.R. Park. It was a joint effort between Ipoh city and Fukuoka city on 1989. Therefore, the garden is same age as me...hahahahahaha~~~

As you can see from the features, the garden is really Japanese-like because the design was once aided by landscape expert from Japan too. Walking around the garden, this gives a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

Apart from that, the stone lamps are designed to be unique and similar to the ones in Japan. Basically, every lamp here is special. If you look closer, perhaps, you will discover that things are not what they seem to be..hahahahaa, sorry for being so philosophical! (^^)

Lastly, if you still remember one of the my header photos, I put a beautiful red bridge! Yes, it was from here. The bridges are painted in red which give a strong feel of appreciation of arts. Another feature which I am so fond of would be the path way made out of stones. It increases the connection between mineral and nature.

I wish that my home will be just like this. This comes with a price - money, hardwork, and continual improvement (^^)!!!!!

Remember To Eat @ Kepong (记得食)

If only life is simple, I am enjoying every moment of my holiday to the fullest! Yeah, I just love to admit that I am a home boy (meaning a person who enjoys staying at home) who loves to do chores especially gardening! Anyhow, job hunting is starting to worry me as many of my friends are starting to work already.  Again, it is no point worrying the future right?!

This time around, I am going to introduce you guys some nice desserts in Kepong with a very cute name - Remember to Eat ( 记得食) Above is the kiwi xi mi lu; despite a bit sweet, it is quite nice to eat during hot weather. 

I still prefer winter-melon-flavoured more as the sweetness was just perfect. (^^). There are other flavours such as strawberry, mango, etc. Below is the shop near by the road side, you can go try try if you have time (^^)

Sri Mahkota 文冬口 @ Ipoh

Just like that, it is 10 days since my last post. Just had my graduation ceremony at Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC) last Saturday, it was filled with happiness and tiresome. To be frank, I feel like it is time for me to move on. Still hunting for job slowly, I really need a good rest as my skin condition worsens along with the stamina deteriorates severely.

Since I have been MIA for quite some time, this time around, I will give you all a long super duper post on Sri Mahkota 文冬口 @ Ipoh. This shop is famous for beef mee, locates just opposite the perished 8-angle tower (八角楼)(sorry for my broken translation).(73 & 75, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh)

Basically, in this shop, my family and I usually order mee with other yong liu (釀料) (don;t the English for this) or stuffed delicacies?

The bowl on the left is the normal soup (清汤) while the right one is the beef soup (牛腩汤).

Of course, the main attraction is the  yong liu (釀料). My all time favourite is the fried wanton while the other delicacies such as the eggplant and fish nugget also taste quite good!

The meal is never complete without the suitable mee. My another fav is the Hakka mee (^^)

 For now, I will be resting at home for a while and editing thousand of pictures (@@)
