Food and More Food

Elizabeth Chung wanted to treat me lunch at City Mall after Canaanland Celebration. But the shop she wanted to go to was closed.


The next shop we wanted to try was filled with people. When Mr. & Mrs. Chew Chong Bin arrived, Shelley did not want to wait and we ended up at The Hut.


Since I would be attending a birthday dinner tonight, I decided not to have Western food. I wanted to have something light.


I was surprised to see The Hut serves Asam Laksa and I ordered that. Eliz and Alice Hiew shared in having a Western set meal. When their food arrived, we all took a look and agreed that the serving had become so small.


Shelley ordered baked crab while her husband had fried noodles. Monica Leong had pasta. Chew’s fried noodles smelled great.


According to Shelley, The Hut originated from Tawau where she often patronised even then.


The Asam Laksa was quite tasty. I do not mind giving it another try the next time I go to that place.


After lunch, the Chews went home and the four of us went shopping.


I bought a packet of beef jerky at Tong Xin Yuan located at M-2-39, 2nd Floor. Most of the things being sold at this shop originated from Taiwan. I first tried something like this when my uncle in Hong Kong bought it in Taiwan and gave to us when he came to visit us yonks ago. I can still remember how delicious the snack was.



After shopping and on the way back to the car, I saw contractor WCZ and one of my company's clients having late afternoon tea with another person. WCZ invited me to join them but I told him I was pressed for time as I would have to be out of the house again in 1.5hours' time to attend a birthday dinner at the chinese restaurant in Winner Hotel.


The birthday gal was my cousin’s youngest daughter Alyssa.


Though the restaurant had been renovated since we last been there a couple of years ago, the food was not that great but still filled with people.
