Songs that remind me of you…

I mentioned in this post that I dropped by here…

Payung Cafe

…that night but they had not started with their Christmas decorations yet as Peter was busy with the awesomely beautiful one at the Sibu Town Square so I stopped by again for lunch on Saturday last week.

Yes, they had something up…

…but I think Peter was not too pleased with it…

…so he had gone out to buy some lights and more decorations…

In my previous post, I was talking about the songs and music played at cafés and restaurants and how playing the right stuff can complement one’s dining pleasure at these places. Well, it’s Christmas so they were playing all the lovely Christmas songs that day and I was enjoying all of them, singing along to some even…until this song came on and the beautiful memories of the lovely people and the wonderful time we had with them in New Zealand in December 2012 came flooding back to my mind and I started missing them – I don’t know if we’ll ever get to meet again but fingers crossed, we will…someday.

Yes, I did take them here when they came to Sibu in 2011 and they liked the food, of course and a lot of the things they got to enjoy during their brief stay here. No, I don’t think the lamb masala (RM19.00 with rice)…

…that we had for lunch was on the menu at the time or if it was, we did not know how nice it was and did not order that then.

We also had their green curry chicken (RM16.00 with rice)…

…for lunch that day and yes, I am pretty sure they did not have that in the menu then and no, they did not get to try the lovely and very refreshing pomelo salad (RM8.00)…

…either. I am sure they would love these and a lot of the things they have on their menu now if only they would come to Sibu again…someday.

Well, if anyone is wondering what my favourite Christmas song this year is, it has got to be this one…

This goes out specially to all of you, my dear friends – so sorry I did not send you a card but you can be sure that…
“…I’ll think of you this Christmas
I’ll remember you every year…”
