Wednesday

Gosh! It is Thursday already and I am late updating my post hah...hah...

Well, this post is about yesterday. When I passed by Halla Holla, I realized that the chicken rice shop next door is no longer there. They were closed the whole time since the Chinese New Year.

From this.


Back to this.


What? The NeighbourHoot is back??? I took a peek inside.


Oh dear dear. I wonder what happened? Interesting.


On my walk back to DU, I looked at flowers.


Red roses. So pretty!


For lunch I went to Bountiful. I have not been there for a while.


It was around 1.00pm and I was concerned if the place was crowded.


Well, it wasn't. Good for me, maybe not so good for them.


My lunch. Three dishes and yes, I had a bowl of rice. My goal now is no longer to lose weight but maintenance and to build/retain muscle. So I will have carbs but not everyday.


Pork belly with bamboo shoots. Very tasty!


Okra. Also delicious.


It may look like a lot of food but the dishes are served on a shallow metal plate and housed in a big bowl.


This is my favorite dish of diced chicken with chilies and veggies.


The dishes here are very tasty but on the spicy and salty side. I would prefer if they reduced the salt level. As for the chilies, we can always pick them out and set them aside. Also there is quite a bit of msg because I was very thirsty after the meal.

I left with a full and happy tummy.


I again passed by this perfume vending machine at The Starling.


This time there was a poster under the machine. Well, now we know more about this machine.

  2. If the chicken rice place was only around for a short while, I wonder if they actually had a signboard or that piece of cloth was covering the old signboard belonging to The Neighourhood Hoot...lol. That's why you saw the signboard again. Well, now that renovations is underway, you'll find out soon if a new place has taken over. Looks like it was a bad omen to open business without a proper signboard...lol! :D

    There's a place in my taman also offering individual dishes like that. Initially I thought wow that's quite a good quantity of food untll I realised it was a shallow dish on top...haha!

    1. That shoplot is jinxed hah..hah... Yeah, they did not put up a new signboard. Maybe they were iffy if they would last.

      Optical illusion to get us to think we are getting a lot of food >.<

  3. Be careful of blood pressure spike if the food are salty. Keeping you in my mind dear PH. This is how I interpret the quote, your future (tomorrow) has arrived and becomes today so in order to have a good future, treasure your today.
