Nightfall…

After everything was settled, we left my girl at the course venue and since it was too early, we stopped by my cousin’s house first. Now, did somebody say the other day that if somebody’s cactus plant is blooming, good luck is on the way? Well, my cousin had not one but two that were flowering…

Hopefully, he would be blessed with a windfall…if he hasn’t had a lucky strike yet since.

He had to go for another dinner that night so his wife took us all out instead and this was where we went…

We had their lemon chicken…

…and it was very nice. In my heart, I was wishing that my girl could have been there with us as this has always been one of her favourites.

Personally, I thought the tofu had an edge over the chicken though…

It was their own-made tofu, so soft and smooth but I particularly loved whatever they coated it with prior to frying as that tasted really good – much nicer than any that I have had in Sibu.

The fried bitter gourd was nice…

…but we can get some nice ones in Sibu as well…and what I loved about their fried sweet potato leaves was that they were all very young…

Those that I have had elsewhere had more often than not been rather old and quite a chore to chew.

The highlight of the dinner was the crispy prata aka Philippine pork leg…

…and I hear that the one here is the best in the city. It is different from the ones we have in Sibu and we all enjoyed it a great deal…

It had been a long, long day and as you can see from the photograph…

…I was quite worn out and ready to hit the sack.

So after the dinner, we headed back to the hotel and after a quick bath, I wasted no time at all in calling it day…
