Nasi Kerabu Golok, Kampung Lindungan and Anita Mui

Via Grabfood of course. I reckon there are many eateries with the moniker "Nasi Kerabu Golok" because I did a Google search and found many but none on the one at Kampung Lindungan. 

I opted for the full monty - with chicken and beef, the so called Nasi Kerabu Full Set.

It came with ayam goreng berempah, daging bakar, solok lada, half a salted duck egg, keropok, thinly sliced cabbage/herbs, sambal tumis and blue colored rice.

It fell short of my expectations because the sambal tumis was very diluted and did not contribute much to the overall taste. The lack of aromatic herbs (like daun kesum, daun kemangi and bunga kantan) and raw vegetables also contributed to the lack of ooomph!

On a positive note, I enjoyed the ayam goreng berempah (the shop accommodated my request for chicken thigh) and solok lada. There was too little of the daging bakar for me to form an opinion.

Girl refused to leave the house this morning. I reckon she was spooked by the very loud (and super annoying) firecrackers that blasted off past midnight. I know it's our Chinese tradition and all (today being the 9th day of Chinese New Year) but I feel that firecrackers should be banned at housing areas. It is a real nuisance, waking people up in the middle of the night and causing distress. I for one could not fall back to sleep! 

Last year, I was very brave and went to the movies. GSC had taken over MBO at The Starling and I could not resist going to the theater again. I watched Anita.

I am not exactly a fan but the late Anita Mui was so iconic that I paid attention. When I was in school, an Indian friend commented that although she does not understand Cantonese, she watches all the Anita Mui concerts for the costumes and actions.

This particular figurine from Anita's last concert before she passed came across as a bit eerie to me.

Last year, during one of our grocery trips, I extorted my partner for a big bar KitKat chocolate hah..hah..hah...

It looked irresistible - Dark Cocoa from Ecuador & Cote D'Ivoire (basically Ivory Coast) and all.

It said "Peel Open, Share & Re-Close". Where got such thing? I mean the "share" part.

Madam sapu all. It was just OK, not as exciting as I had envisioned. I mean, I enjoy dark chocolate, maybe not in KitKat. Or rather KitKat not ngam with dark chocolate. My humble opinion of course.

These are Petunias from my Sunday morning walk with my partner at Taman Botani. We had to stop going after my unfortunate situation with the herniated/slipped disc. I am still recovering and cannot do any exercise. Haiz.........
