shall we have some...

pub food?

cheap and delicious! .....that was what I remembered of pub food during my England trip in 2005...

I discovered that pub food in Penang is pretty affordable too!...at Soho Free House, along upper Penang Road...They open from 12pm to 12am everyday..

a friend was totally sold to Soho's shepherd's pie so I decided to give it a try. One can choose between chicken or lamb. Unfortunately, they didn't have lamb when I was there so I had to just settle for the chicken.

Verdict:

Soho's shepherd's pie - Awesome! :) the mashed potatoes were creamy and uniformly mashed... the mince chicken meat cooked in some sort of brown sauce was tasty.. and the meal only costs RM7.80.. totally value for money!

A week later another group of friends decided to go to Soho's (again!) and this time I decided to try the home made burgers...

Verdict:

the beef patty was EXCELLENT! not too dry, not too soggy.. the burger bun was nicely toasted.. and they used lettuce instead of pickled cucumbers... I could hardly finished the meal and again, it's only RM7.80!

my friends ordered the Shepherd's pie but yet again, they didn't have the lamb one.. dang...

Apple pie with custard was the chosen dessert...

Verdict:

Generous amount of apple slices... goes really well with the custard.. may be a wee bit too rich (or 'jelak' as some may say) so might be a good idea to share the dessert with a friend.. :)

it doesn't matter...

It doesn't matter where I run, You're there for me

It doesn't matter what I've done Your love's for me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

It doesn't matter where I go, You walk with me

It doesn't matter when I fall, You cover me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

You are my Father, Provider

You're my deliverer

Your mercies embrace me, surround me

Through Your everlasting love

Father I worship You

Father I worship You

And Your love is for me

And Your love is for me

And Your love is forever

(Arvid Gunardi & Sidney Mohede)

Dear Father God,

thank you for loving me...

times like this...

I really need to focus on the right things...

a friend shared this poem on fb...and it encouraged me a lot as i prepare to go into 'battle' next week...

In Jesus' name I pray,

In Him my heart I lay.

He keeps me strong day by day,

He the Potter, I the clay.

I bow my head and close my eyes,

Shutting out distractions that entice.

I can depend on Him for endless advice,

For I know his love for me ain't no game of dice.

I see Your glory, way brighter than the sun,

Empowering your sacrifice heavier than a ton.

Thank you Lord for all You've done,

In sending me Your precious Son.

He calms my soul and gives me peace,

He takes away all stress, I feel at ease.

For in the end I know at least,

He's waiting for me at Heaven's feast.
