Of Roti Bom and Apes

Last Saturday a cousin of mine and her husband plus her father (who is my dad's eldest brother) visited dad at the home.

My dad's brother (whom I address as Tua Pek) is 91 years old and is fit and healthy. He walks unaided and is steady on his feet. He is also mentally bright and lively.

Wow! I am always amazed to see seniors of that age group who not only possess lifespan but also healthspan. Bravo Tua Pek!

After the visit, as usual we headed to Kar Hiong. 

We ordered two new dishes - Dry Curry Pork Slices and Soya Sauce Steamed Fish. 

In a way, we also ordered a third new dish - Salted Egg Abalone Mushroom because the server who took our order made a mistake. I'm afraid I did not enjoy this version of abalone mushroom. The Garlic Stir Fried Spinach was good.

After lunch we sent mum back to the house and my brother and I set out to The Starling for a movie date.

We were still early and we wanted coffee. So we headed to Red Kettle but the place being very popular, we had to queue for a table. Not wanting to waste time, I suggested we try the newly opened HWC Coffee.

We got ourselves a caffe latte each and was pleasantly surprised when we were given Roti Bom as free gifts (oh no! carbs! hee..hee..).

No, we didn't get any of the cakes or pastries.

We went up to GSC and had our coffee and roti bom outside the hall.

The coffee was all right, not as good as the one we were hoping to drink at Red Kettle. The roti bom was pretty much a mini roti canai and it was quite nice.

I wanted to take a photo of the movie poster but strangely there were no posters of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

After we were done with our coffee we went inside the hall to enjoy the movie.

It was a good movie and I was glad that I could watch the movie with my brother.

This is Poodie and Ah Boi doing their Godzilla vs Kong impression.

I wonder what is Ah Boi saying to Poodie.

TuTu as usual is her pretty adorable self.
