Oh it is #wednesdaywalk again, an initiative by @tattoodjay! He lets us share our walks all over the world so others get to "participate" in them!
Okay today was actually a usual Wednesday for me except that I have some extra errands like going to the pharmacy to replenish cough syrup or expectorant to help my boys dissolve their phlegm. We have finished 2 bottles of those we had at home yet they are still recovering. So after dropping the firstborn to his class, I went to the first pharmacy.
This row of shops in my neighbourhood has 3 pharmacies altogether. I usually go to the first as it offers items at a lower price and it is the biggest among all 3 here. Coinincidentally its name is called Big Pharmacy hahaha. They ran out of a non-drowsy expectorant which I need for the firstborn who is still going to school. However I bought an antihistamine syrup to stop the mucus generation and allergic flu reaction as well as some dried plums for myself. Sometimes I eat these to pass time and I kind of like them. I have tried one of these before and went back to get more after the one I had finished.
So I went to the 2nd Pharmacy - Health Lane.
I also come here quite a bit because members get their items at a lower price. However the problem today was all the pharmacists there were so occupied. Some customers went in for blood test check, some needed equipment recommendations. I did not want to wait so I left.
On I went to the 3rd pharmacy - Caring Pharmacy.
I seldom come to this pharmacy because among all 3, this pharmacy charges the highest even for the same item and I am not a member there too. However, as I was enquiring about the cough syrup, I noticed the antihistamine syrup that my son used to take is available here after it went out of stock for so long! I could not believe I was actually so happy about it and it is the cheapest among all those I have bought. So I happily grab that as a standby for home use.
Walking By 7 Cafe by 7-11
7-11 was just next to this pharmacy and I suddenly remember my friend told me about them selling the Niko Neko Matcha Soft Serve ice-cream. Nike Neko is a local brand selling premium matcha powder which I used to use for baking and it is quite well known. So I decided to go in for a try since I was not rushing for something else and did not have my secondborn in tow with me. Surprisingly there was another flavour, Yuzu available too. I just added for the normal Matcha flavoured one actually which is RM3 (less than 1 USD). However the staff in her attempt to try to operate the ice cream machine could not generate out just Matcha flavour. She asked if I mind to have a mix of both flavours instead. Of course I did not mind. Then to my astonishment, the ice cream she did was so tall.
So I enjoyed this ice cream in the car after my walk here and there. What a satisfying and happy reward! To be honest, this may sound like the weirdest combination but it tasted not bad!!!

Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
You had a pretty busy day hahaha, but fun. I've never tried matcha, I'm curious. That ice cream looked huge. I think you came out a winner.
By the way, this initiative looks super cool and fun. I think I'll participate next week ❤️
