Late lunch at Eastern Wishes Cafe 南洋泰餐小厨

After worship service in Taiping Gospel Hall, we went to a traditional Chinese tea house with brother Yan Kai. Dad and mom love to experience the authentic Chinese ambiance and culture in a tea house.

The owner served us tea, in the gongfu way. He spent an entire hour explaining the art of tea tasting and brewing to us. He is also a Chinese traditional medicine doctor. He told us that Liu An tea 六安茶 is used for Chinese medicine.

After that, we headed back to Penang. Mom bought some delicious bread at a bakery. The sweet smell of freshly baked bread reminded us how hungry we were.

After one hour and fifteen minutes, we reached Penang. Finally we decided to have our late lunch at Estern Wishes Cafe 南洋泰餐小厨 on 23.9.2012. This restaurant was highly recommended by brother Yan Kai.
