New Year is like 4 days away and I dread 2010 cause it the year I am going to NS...dreading it cause as you know I am not fit and whatever not, so you kind of know why...haha...and I hope I graduate within the 3 years of my poly life...and soon I will be moving and all those complications related to moving...thus 2010 is packed with things for me to dread, fear, dislike, etc. Haha...but I guess I can still stay positive till the end of the next year and see what happens...STAY POSITIVE, LJW!!! haha...
On Friday, went with my teacher to eat at a Teochew restaurant near Hong Lim which is called Hang Kang...its a childhood place for me as everytime when it was my grandparents birthdays they would usually go there to celebrate with the whole big family...the food there is really good and they always serve high quality chinese tea before the 7-8 course banquet...the things I could forget would be the cold dish, suckling pig, fried chicken...and the infamous yam desert, orh nee...haha...but we all stop going there after one or two years after my grandfather's death...they even moved into a new building which I knew few years after they moved...so you can say I haven't stepped in that place for like 8-10 years...amazing huh, how time flies? But the quality of the food was still there but kind of fall from that of yester years...
That day, after taking the first sip of tea all the fond memories came rushing back...when the restaurant was in the old place, few shophouses down...and I was there for one of my grandparent's birthday dinner on a Saturday night and the first floor of the restaurant was filled of hustler and buster of a busy restaurant...but that time we went, was only the two of us...we felt bad as in midst the meal, they were about to close for the day or for lunch and we were still eating...somehow we felt the atmosphere become a bit tense cause there were some staff waiting for us...haha...but after finish our dessert and sipping the bit of our tea we left the place, after footing the bill which my teacher did...Thanks a Trillion...
It was a good experience and a blast back to the past...haha...I guess I am gonna sleep soon...so shall stop here...all the best to all...take good care...till we meet again...ta-ta... =D
The top grade chinese tea (I think it is Pu-Er) before the meal and it was served at the end of the meal to clear always the oil of the meal...
The Usual Outlay of an Chinese Meal...
Braised Shark Fins...Ok I know, its environmentally unfriendly but I eat it occasionally ok...haha...
Steamed Promfet Teochew-Style and Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushrooms, goose webs and vegetables...order some fried fish but said the kitchen do wrongly so instead the steamed fish came...so to avoid more hassles we took it...
The back dish is the Teochew sliced braised goose with tofu...great with rice...
Sitting beside the food...couldn't get any fresher right? haha...kidding, wasn't the type of fish we ate...haha...
The Yam Desert, Orh Nee with gingko nuts and a slice of sweet potato...which is a famous Teochew dessert...yum...haha...
