For me, there is no festivity going on, in fact this year I am not indulging in any of these mooncakes.
My auntie in NZ sent me a photo of her grandson making snow skin mooncakes.
Ah! A young budding pastry chef, eh?
This chicken rice restaurant took over the space vacated by Seng Kee Chicken Rice.
Being very new, I was attended to by a very enthusiastic lady.
This menu is pasted on the glass panel of the serving counter.
I put in an order for Roasted Chicken with Roasted Pork Rice for my partner and Lower Quarter Kampung Chicken for me, no rice obviously.
While waiting, I observed the surroundings.
The layout is pretty much the same as the previous tenant and any renovation works is minimal.
So there you go. My partner’s meal. He cannot do without rice and would probably tell me, chicken rice with no rice, where got meaning? No complaints from him, so I assume this packet of chicken rice meets his expectations.
This is mine and oh yes, it was very good, fresh and tasty. But this portion is too little for me. I reckon I can eat half a chicken hah…hah… with some siew yoke thrown in for good measure.
I enjoyed the ginger and scallion dip. So aromatic! I hope they can maintain their standards.
Outside the shop, I spotted this little kitty. Girl probably looked like this when she was a kitten.
This was my partner’s lunch yesterday at don’t know-where. He is a rice man and he is fine eating loads of carbs. I can’t eat like that, if I did, the brain fog and anxiety comes right back. I don’t want that. A few moments of pleasure and a few hours (or a couple of days) of torture is not worth it.
