A Not So Happy Birthday

Well, my family's troubles are not over yet but today let us not talk about sad topics. Sad birthday, maybe hah..hah..

I went to visit my dad on my birthday and dad being in his condition was not aware of the anniversary of the day I came into his life 56 years ago. He looked well although he was clearly lethargic. 

Then I made my way back to the office. But before that, surely I must commemorate my birthday as I had always done these past few years.

So I went to this place for lunch. As with my style, when the food is really bad not up to par, I will not say the name of the restaurant.

I have always remembered this place for their superb coffee.

Not too long ago I walked past and checked the menu.

I always love big breakfast so I chose The Great Angmoh. And of course a Flat White.

Ah! Coffee! What I really needed as a mood booster. But alas the taste was subdued and not as I remembered. Not to say that it was not good, but not as potent as before. The thin biscuit was very sweet. I ate only half.

Then The Great Angmoh was served.

A very full plate of smoked turkey ham, cheese sausage (very strong on Italian herbs), mushrooms (the oil had rancid taste), baked beans, a thick slice of toasted garlic bread, hash brown, grilled tomato and scrambled eggs (it was more like an omelette).

It was an underwhelming experience, to put it mildly. So The Great Angmoh was not so great after all.

That's it. I think this place lost its luster a long time ago and nothing has changed.

Compare and contrast.

If you want a proper big breakfast, you know my go to. The coffee there is now (in my books) the best one in the neighborhood (unless someone points me to another direction).

You get what you pay for and it is worth every cent. 

And there I headed for my early dinner (before my night shift at the hospital).

A real birthday treat!

What's a birthday without cake? And more coffee?

Thank you! And thank you for eating the cake wahahaha!!!
