After Vote, Makan!

Today I went to the polling station early. Slightly after 7:00am I walked to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bandar Utama Damansara (3).

There were two leng luis walking ahead of me but their pace was a bit too leisurely for me. So this auntie zoomed ahead of them. I arrived at the school before 7:30am and there were not many people (unlike the general election). I was a little worried that the turnout would be low.

Voters were directed to the tent for checking and to get our confirmation slip.

My voting stream was on the top floor so me and the uncle2 and auntie2 huffed and puffed (at least I did) our way up the stairs. Why can't they put us on the ground floor and put the youngsters upstairs?

View from the top. I hope more voters turn up later.

I looked down and saw one auntie on wheelchair in the queue. Way to go auntie! Every vote counts. Hope she is a Harapan supporter hah..hah...

In less than 5 minutes I was done! I walked like a siau char boh (crazy woman) at full speed as I headed home to catch my carnivore support group community meeting.

There you go. My ugly finger, thanks to Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya. My zoom meeting ended slightly after 9:00am and I quickly booked Grabcar to go to the hospital.

My dad is doing all right, praise the Lord. After the blood transfusion he is bright and chirpy. It's a pity that he has lost his ability to walk. We are hoping that he can slowly regain some strength and at least walk a few steps with the help of a walker.

After the hospital visit, my brother took mum and I for lunch again. This is the only opportunity for mum to dine out. 

We went to The Butcher's Table. A place very ngam for me but I made a poor choice. You'll see why in a bit.

My fears about parking and getting a table were unfounded. I guess lunch time is quite safe but at dinner I know this place is packed.

Let's look at the menu.

There are lots of choices.

There is also a separate brunch menu.

At first I picked the Bacon Me Crazy and suggested the Pork Shoulder Chop to my mum. But mum decided she too wanted the Bacon Me Crazy.

So I chose the other option so that we don't all order the same dish. My brother went for the Bacon Carbonara with Scallop.

While waiting for our orders I went to the chiller to have a look. Do you see the pork tomahawk at the top left corner? I want to eat that (one day).

My attention was caught by the sausages.

I have eaten their sausages ordered via Grabfood and they were awesome. They say that their sausages are nitrate free and contain no fillers. I bought some and I will blog about that later.

That's my mum's Bacon Me Crazy. I thought the dish looked good especially the egg yolks. I was concerned the bacon steak might be too salty for mum but she said it wasn't.

My brother enjoyed his Bacon Carbonara with Scallop - creamy and cheesy he said.

And now mine.

I know.... luckily mum did not go with this. The fries were good (according to mum and bro, I didn't eat) as they were very crispy and tasty.

The Pork Shoulder Chop on its own was actually good because it was tender and moist. But the brown sauce was way too salty. So I scrapped most of it off and ate only the meat. There was also a bit of porky smell which was unfortunate.

Many thanks to my brother for the lovely lunch. With benefit of hindsight I should have ordered from the ala carte section (next time!).

When I got home I had another lunch wahahahaha!!! The pork was a bit too thin and I was still hungry. So I pan fried one Angus burger patty and cracked three eggs into it. Nyum! 

This is my auntie's red tulip. Have a great weekend everyone!
