Oh so many years…

It was a reunion of sorts when I met up with some very very old friends of mine from the 60s for lunch that day. There was one from the UK, another from Australia and the rest came over from Kuching – all of whom I had not seen for a very long time. We used to go to parties and had a great time dancing together…and we also wrote letters to the radio stations requesting for songs and dedicating them to one another…and we would often get together to loiter around, crack jokes and laugh and have a whole lot of fun. Those were the days…oh so many years ago.

I suggested meeting them at this place that I go to quite frequently as it is just across the road from where they were staying so it would be very convenient and the food is not too bad and not too expensive. I had the sweet and spicy lamb set lunch…

…which had some fried cangkuk manis by the side…

…and a few slices of cucumber and nasi lemak sambal on top plus a complimentary bowl of soup and a free drink. It was quite nice but I found the lamb a bit over-fried and kind of hard or crispy.

Now what did the rest have? They shared the chicken curry…

…and the mee mamak…

…and the nasi goreng istimewa (fried rice special)…

…as well as the nasi lemak…

Everybody seemed to be watching their figure or was very careful with their diet. Sigh!!!

It certainly was nice seeing them again and hopefully, our paths would cross again someday…
