Clearer…

Well, THIS is definitely clearer now than before…

No, you will NOT get any complimentary ice [SIC]/hot lemon tea with your lunch on weekends and public holidays. If you remember, I had a bone to pick over the sign that they had before and had a not-very-pleasant experience when I went and pointed it out. Well, at least, now they have an additional line, underlined some more, so I guess there is no dispute now as to who should get a free drink and when.

I had not dropped by there since…not because I was pissed off by the uncalled-for behaviour but somehow or other, it just happened that we did not go back to the place again. For one thing, parking is always such a pain…be it lunch or dinnertime and that is, at times, a deterrent, the mere idea of going round and round in search of a parking space.

Anyway, my niece, the one who is working in Singapore, was home for the long weekend and she invited us there…

…for dinner last Saturday night. It was her birthday sometime in the middle of last month but she did not manage to come back around that time so this could be considered as a belated birthday treat.

Well, if the lighting at this place is kind of dim around lunchtime, it is even more so…

…at night. That was why I did not take a photo of everything that we ordered that night but I did manage to snap one of their signature pork ribs…

…which were very good and as always, I enjoyed that a lot.

I had their classic burger before…

…and with so many things that we ordered to share that night I did not bother to go through the hassle of eating that.

The pork belly sizzling noodles…

…were not sizzling when it was served and many of us thought that they were not very nice. I tried a bit and found that the taste of the five spice powder was rather strong but that was fine by me. I would say that I quite liked it…but if you are not into that ngor hiang hoon, then  perhaps you should give this one a miss.

We had quite a few other items from their menu but like I said earlier, it was simply too dark to take any decently-good photographs that would do the food justice, so I just gave up after a while and spent the rest of the evening chatting away with everybody and enjoying the food.

My niece brought us a number of things from Singapore and all the places that she had been too since the last time she was home and my brother-in-law in Bintulu was home too that weekend with a whole lot of goodies in tow for us as well. I guess everybody must be so tired and bored of the photographs that I’ve featured ever so often showing what I got and who they came from…so I did not take any this time around. Still, I guess I should slip in a word of thank you here to the two of them for all that they gave us…and also to my niece for the belated birthday treat.
