Lucky strike…

I got lucky the other day… Wait a minute! No, I did not hit on any SYT (sweet young thing), I’m afraid…not at my age, unfortunately but I won a little bit of money at lottery.

My mobile phone number came out, all the last 6 digits except the 2nd one…which meant that I only got 4 in a row correct. If I had got all 6, I would have won RM200,000 for my RM2.00 and it would be goodbye to everybody – I would be off on an extended holiday, that’s for sure, and if it had been the 1st or the last digit, I would have got RM6K in total. Sigh!!! I’m afraid that was not meant to be and all I got was RM600.00.

Well, that was an improvement from the time when my house phone number came out and the 3rd digit was incorrect. I only got RM8.00 for the first two and RM60.00 for the last three, a total of RM68.00 so it certainly was a little bit better this time around.

I asked my daughter what she wanted to eat for our little celebration and she wanted Japanese so there we were back at this place in town for lunch that Sunday afternoon…

Unfortunately, when we got there, we were informed that they were out of salmon and fresh beef that day but somehow, we were able to order this very nice plate of salmon fried rice (RM16.90)…

Probably they used smoked for this but they did not have any fresh salmon for their sashimi or sushi or whatever else or at least, that was what I reckoned they meant.

We all loved their kabocha korokke (RM13.90)…

– the Japanese pumpkin croquettes.

My daughter wanted these kani mayo tobiko maki (RM6.90)…

…which she and the mum shared. I did not touch that even though I was pretty sure that there was no crab at all in those imitation crab sticks – I’m never a fan of those. I was abstaining from all seafood at that point in time so that was why we did not order any prawn or soft-shell crab stuff which Melissa would have loved very much.

We also had the chicken karrage (RM8.90)…

…and the chicken yakitori (RM10.90)…

Both were pretty good – my missus and Melissa liked them very much but on my part, I thought the meat tasted bland – to me, it lacked the sweetness of fresh chicken so I was not exactly too thrilled by them.

Well, on the whole, it was delightful enough and we all had our fill. Of course, it cannot compare with the feast we had in Auckland, New Zealand…but as they say, beggars can’t be choosers. At those prices, I wouldn’t say that was cheap though – definitely not something paupers and beggars can afford. RM5.00 for a little pot of green tea, I have to say, isn’t all that affordable…but since it was money from my little windfall, it was perfectly all right. As they say, easy come easy go!
