Down Memory Lane

Does that dish of steamed asam fish look familiar? hee...hee...

Well, mum was hankering for asam fish and suggested a makan outing on Saturday. So at mother's request we went for lunch at you-know-where.

I started my morning (on the way to my brother's house) with my usual stunt of sunny side up eggs and coffee at Halla Holla.

I was hungry but since we were going for lunch, I had only 4 eggs. 

At Kar Hiong, we ordered our usual same-old-same-old favorites.

Paku Belacan. This dish was served first and then we waited and waited for the next one.

Then the Signature Pork Ribs made its appearance. I thought the ribs were slightly overcooked (a bit dry) and the sauce seemed overwhelming to me.

Then we waited and waited some more. The turnaround time did not improve since the last few times we were there.

The Steamed Asam Carp finally came to the table in a big ass plate. The fish was very fresh which made this dish even more fabulous.

We actually put in an order for another dish - kangkung belacan, but the server missed the order. Which was a blessing because with three dishes, we were already so stuffed.

We were marveling at how we managed four dishes in the past. After a two month hiatus, we under performed hah..hah..

After dropping mum and I back at his house, my brother went off to do what he had to do while I stayed for a short while before walking back to The Starling.

I walked past Baskin Robbins but I did not stop to get anything.

Then I went to get coffee.

This little coffee shop - Baristar Coffee & Tea Express is located right opposite Alliance Bank. 

It enjoys good business because there are many coffee addicts lovers in the neighborhood.

The coffee is good and affordable. So instead of enjoying coffee at restaurants/cafes (where it can cost much more) I come and tapau coffee here.

Then it was back to the office to do some work. So that was my Saturday.
