As we were heading to Jonkers Walk after breakfast at Baba Low, I saw something peculiar.Peculiar coz in my short life I have not seen it before la.
A man a rod sticking out from his cheek.
Oh... looks like it's a Wesak Day procession. No wonder traffic was crawling here.
When we neared Jonkers Walk. Traffic was at a stand still. Mamarazzi said let's go down and see what's up in from and me said YES!!!
Come on! Walk faster ler....
Oh...near the Aik Cheong Coffee shop there was some kind of ceremony. Followers kneed down to have yellow color water pour over them. Must be some kind of cleansing ceremony.
I was standing near to snap clearer photos. A follower thought I wanted to go for the ceremony too coz my T-shirt was yellow. He urge me to go nearer but Mamarazzi pulled me back.
Last few snap before the procession move on.
Papa need to go toilet. While waiting for him, looked at the map
Snapped a few awesome pics.
Here is one odd ads. White Coffee also have so many colors. Black White Coffee and Gold White Coffee
Ahem...anyone game for a DURIAN white coffee?
But for me...I preferred nice nice cold cendol from Bibik House la.
Here is what Mamarazzi managed to grab in a short time. Simply hentam Pineapple tarts that looks nice to her.
Kiasu.....saw many people buying Heong Peang and gula Melaka from a shop she also went and grabbed.
Next stop.........
Looks like a fun time with the ceremony. :)

oh Uncle SK thought the devotees only carry kavadi on Thaipusam, now Wesak Day also they have such procession.. must be an eye-opener lah, some more can get close to see the event and took photos leh..
ReplyDeleteWe also dunno lo. Is that called kavadi ah? Really like you said, eye opener leh

ReplyDeleteI salute you then hahaha....Penang also have leh...see Huai Bin's comment above
DeleteWhat fun! I love the shot of you on the elephant the best!! A very good photo! What is white coffee? We have white tea, but not coffee...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny.
DeleteThat is a question hard for Mamarazzi to explain coz she also dunno much about it. Seems that the white coffee originated from Ipoh during the time when there were many hainanese immigrants from China came here. They did not like the western coffe which is too bitter for their palatte so they invented this White coffee. It's a mixture of several types of coffee beans.
Same with SK, i thought only on Thaipusam, they have this kind of procession...
ReplyDeletehahaha.....we too same like SK. Now baru know
DeleteThe pineapple tarts are nice. I tried when I was Jonker Walk.
ReplyDeleteMany stalls. If can, Mamarazzi wanted to try all LOL
DeleteEeeeee....my brother brought a New Zealand couple to Batu Caves, Thaipusam once...and they saw the rod through cheek thing and everything else...and the guy fainted! LOL!!! Wahhhhhh!!!! Bought so many things kah? Dijamin sampai hari esok? Wink! Wink! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL....too late. Dijamin tak sampai coz these few days Mamarazzi busy gobbling down all the Pineapple tarts liao
DeleteOnce I brought kopi durian 3in1. The smell is so intense. (musang king kopi) LOL!!
ReplyDeleteKopi + durian...pengsan leh. Mamarazzi dare not try. Might be too strong for her
DeleteI've never seen GOLD white coffee b4!!!
ReplyDeletefirst time Mamarazzi see this too LOL
DeleteHi there, Just stopping by to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to you. I’m sure you are having a fabulous day. I celebrated yesterday when one of my sons and his beautiful wife came to see us….
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know, we’ve been out-of-town this past week and I haven’t done any blogging much at all. I hope you enjoyed my two Tulip blog posts while we were gone——and be sure and tune in tomorrow morning to find out what we’ve been doing this past week….
Enjoyed your post today! Never heard of WHITE Coffee.... Interesting.. BUT--the pineapple tarts sound YUMMY.
Hugs,
Betsy
Thanks Betsy. You are forever so thoughtful :)
DeleteWonder what the mystery behind the multi coloured white coffee is?!!
ReplyDeletehahaha...think hard to explain. have to taste it then you'll know
DeleteOh, Wesak Day also they do piercing. At first I thought it was Thaipussam. I wonder how the durian coffee taste like. Cannot imagine durian and coffee campur together.
ReplyDeletedunno leh...
DeleteI thought it was Thaipusam procession :P
ReplyDeleteHahaha no la.
DeleteI like durian and coffee separately, but don't think I'd want to try durian-flavoured coffee! ;p
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
Same here...kihkihkih
DeleteFirst time see devotees piercing on Wesak Day! I wonder how the coffee + durian taste like. I love durian and coffee but mixing them is another thing.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how the coffee and durian taste like..hahaha
DeleteLuckily nobody catch and skewer you... :p Cendol in Melaka almost all nice! Got the thick gula melaka one.
ReplyDeleteHehehe no la....voluntary basis mah khkihkih
