Legend Malacca by Roman Lake, Sunyi







Baba's thought for today.
"The only ache people have nowadays is
ache in the stomach, due to over eating
and want of exercise".

Well, we all love food, so I guess what we have to do is to exercise more so that we do not suffer this malaise!

Just had lunch at Legend Malacca, by Roman Lake in Sunyi. This place is run by someone from Taiping by the name of Ong. The menu as quite extensive. We had satay, beef rendang, Penang fried Kuey teow, fried yellow noodles, curry puffs, roasted chicken wings and a sizzling plate of tofu. It was delicious and authentic. Highly recommended.

Visited another museum on Friday. It is the Capital Museum located at 16, Fuxingmenwai Dajie, Xicheng District. It a hugh and impressive building. The museum covers all aspects of the city of Beijing, including selected works of ancient porcelian art, Memories of home life in ancient Beijing, history and also religous artifacts.

But the most interesting was the Beijing Superb Cultural Relics Exhibition which showcased Chinese historical cultural relic collections with Beijing features. The exhibition has 285 pieces which have distinct Beijing characteristics. These include beautiful ancient china wares, lifelike sacred Buddhist statues, glittering and translucent jade articles, gold and silver ware, bamboo,wood,ivory and horn carvings,calligraphies and paintings and many others.

Well worth a visit and it is free. But you have to pay for the special exhibition though.
