Lunch at Manila Place , Tesco Ipoh.

Tried out Manila Place for lunch recently. It is located on the ground floor of Tesco.
I'm not a fan for western foods but the food here is GOOD!

I had this chicken pie in mushroom soup...it was good.


..you can pass the lamb chop but this cornish pasty is worth a try


so too the chicken cordon bleu and chops......


their cakes are great but super rich
1) cheese cake 2) chocolate cake 3) this lemon cake was light and nice the best for me.


loved this..fried ice cream..it was worth the try...

.........absolutely yummy


prices are reasonable too...

check it out...a word of advice...don't count the calories.

Morning Walk at the Ipoh Padang

The Ipoh Padang in the center of town is a lovely place for a morning walk.Unlike the Polo Grounds it is not crowded and has a lot of parking.

Sunrise .... early birds enjoying the cool morning enviroment...
...sleepy cat... unaware of the world around it.....
..pigeons on the roof of the Hanafi Mosque opposite the padang .... waiting for their breakfast?
..a view of Jln Tun Sambanthan (Hale Street) from across the padang...check it out...

Arty angles and curves - the IC Office@Jelapang......

This is the IC office located at Jelapang Ipoh. The design of its building is very different from the usual buildings that JKR have been erecting all these years which is nice and refreshing.(this shot was taken from Bangunan PTTC)


If you are using the NS highway passing through Ipoh this building is located 500m north of the Jelapang toll booth.

The 90 degree angles and gentle curves of this building automatically enables so many perspectives. The material used also adds interesting possibilities.
Normal light & clear reflective glass ...

  ...contrasting shades....

.....shapes defined......

Clear blue skies..angular pillars and light shadows....

..the pillar on its side....

....air vents.....

......the rooftop of the walkway......

....in the shadows....

...vents..curves ..shadowed light...

....b&w...................

...supporting pillars on the ground floor......................

.....gentle curves....reflective glass......

contrasting designs...the building at the background is Bangunan PTTC. ( i call it the Batman building)

...the building .... at the back ........ in b&w..

...interesting design...it offers so many possibilities......

...imagination ...running wild.....


...and as with all good things.......
