like a tourist

Gurney Plaza

Plaza Gurney

Walked in to see

From the leisurely walking

Now the cool air-conditioned ambience

It was a reprieve from the hot sun

Window shopping at the many outlets

There weren't many shoppers around

Maybe it was on a weekday......

Spent hours windows browsing

Looking for inspiration on decorations

Ideas to keep in view for later renovations

Then popped in to the food court stalls

The economic rice stall

The price didn't eat into your pocket

Vegetables weren't overcooked

Serving was quick not on a weekend

As it is with all complexes

You see one you seem to see it all

You want to look for something different

It has to be somewhere else...

Popped in to Winter Tea Summer

Ordered drinks, latte and sandwiches

Admired the flowery cups and saucers

Captured some in camera..

Drove down to Penang Road

Popped to Chowrasta stalls

Walked under the shade of corridor

Walked in to the Pots

The Penang Road cendol stalls

Nothing has changed through the years

Ordered 2 bowls though the price increased

The last was $1.20 now $2.20 a bowl

The traffic jam

Got worst now then before

When I was living here

It was quite manageable

Now the island

For visits explore some

The different type of food and drinks

The old Penang she has gone
