Crowded Restaurant

The restaurant in Greentown is so crowded in the 3rd day of Chinese New Year. As normal, people gather at cafe & restaurant for reunion to share their stories in the past one year. This phenomena should last for another one or two more days before the youngsters back to their working position away from Ipoh.
