Craving

Usually I will do my grocery once a week, there was this day when after doing my weekly grocery, was craving for Bento set.

There was this place Umi Sushi where they do sell Bento in the vicinity of the supermarket I went to. Ordered Tori Teriyaki @ $7.20, nothing to shout about and the chicken was a bit salty.

I must have a cup of coffee a day, was about to order coffee when I saw Kopiccino, ask the staff what is Kopiccino, she reply it's kopi mixed with milo, since I have not try it before, so order a cup at $1.90. Overall, I still prefer kopi as kopi, milo as milo.

Tiong Bahru Lee Hong Kee Cantonese Roasted

I made an unexpected trip to my Uncle's (My mum younger brother) place last Saturday afternoon, as his wife has been over the phone with me discussing about my mum's Medical Report, so I thought I will make a trip there, bring the Medical Report over to show them which will be easier than talking about it over the phone. My uncle opened the door, and from the look on his face, guess he must be thinking something happen to my mum, no lah, only an unexpected trip.

(1) After the trip to my Uncle's place, went over to Tiong Bahru Food Centre to have my early dinner, heard about the above stall from my friend, so decided to try it out. Wanted to try Roasted Chicken, but see that they didn't hang it out, must be finish liao. And I don't feel like eating Roasted Duck that day, so ordered Wanton Noodle. It so happen as I was standing right in front of the stall, saw they still have Roasted Chicken in the tray, too bad can't cancel my order already.

(2) Wanton Noodle @ $3.50 which comes with char siew, vegetable, 3 wanton, in which I like the char siew, overall, the Wanton Noodle, not bad.

(3) Comes with a bowl of soup

Senior Friendship Circle

From what I understand, from the notice board at my place, there's Senior Friendship Circle at my Constituency on every 3rd Sunday of the Month. But my mum didn't attend. It so happen, last Friday evening, I went to my neighbourhood park for my weekly workout organize by the RC. My mum wanted to go and have a walk. After the workout, the RC Chairman, who happen to be there, came and chit with my mum. He invite her over to the Senior Friendship Circle last Sun, usually they will have it at 8am on Sun. It so happen last Sun, they have event going on in the morning, so the Senior Friendship Circle was change to 12 noon. And ask me to bring my mum there.

(1) I brought my mum there last Sun, they have 2 ladies from National University Hospital to come and talk on Hearing Loss. Didn't know that they have the talk, so I didn't bring any paper or notebook to note down on the symptoms of Hearing Loss.

Based on my memory, they mention if someone calls you from behind, you can't hear till the person have to pat you, one of the symptom. If you on the volume of the television, radio, so loud till your grandchild said that it's too loud, another symptom. The rest of the symptom, return what I have heard to the speakers.

(2) They also ask if any person is interested in the above hearing testing and only 9 slots left.

(3) Then lunch is served, which is nasi lemak

(4) Fruit will be banana

(5) Someone sponsor Tuna, and each senior gets a can of it

They also celebrate February seniors birthday with a cake, I didn't manage to take picture of the cake as it so happen my mum finish her nasi lemak, I have to help her with the clearing of the plate.

Fried Nian Gao

I bought the above Nian Gao before Chinese New Year at Chinatown, they have Factory made and Homemade, I chose the Homemade and it cost me $5.50.

The guy selling me taught me, if I do not want to cook and want to keep for sometimes, cut into piece and keep in the fridge. I coat it with a beaten egg with some flour. I accidentally pour out too much flour and also I didn't watch the fire, it was a bit burnt.
