Date with Nuts and Long Uns

If you want to feel at home when on vacation, why go at all? So during the combined festive holidays of Chinese New Year and Awal Muharram, I decided to stay in town, enjoyed myself and felt at home. It's a lot cheaper, too.

This afternoon, I went visiting friends and Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan and Makan Sakan. So, I went to The Consoler's house for tea, and got ang pow from his mom. Eh dah besar pun dapat ang pow :)

Later in the evening, The Consoler and I went to visit Belle Of The Party's house. We got stuffed with her mom's Vegetarian Meehoon Goreng and chicken curry. It was damn good, but better yet, her mom was really funny - so cute. She was telling me that she couldn't find her favorite brand of agar-agar or jelly, which is Swallow Brand. So she bought Cock Brand, and it was damn hard so she didn't like it. And she quickly added, "but some people like it though." Oh God...I should behave myself but I was trying very hard to stop giggling. Belle Of The Party told her mom, "Mom it's been quite a while for Liza, you know". Hehehe...I think her mom looked quite amused.

Later for dessert, her mom served us Lin Chee Kang. She said to me "I think you'll love this, dates with nuts and longans". Somehow we heard her saying "long ones" instead of longans. I looked at Prince Charming and he was keeping himself from gigling too - so he heard that too lah.

When her mom went into the kitchen, I told Belle Of The Party, "Babe, I'd love a date with nuts and long ones!" to which she burst into giggles. Tony Joseph, the handsome local actor, who is a good friend of Belle Of The Party, giggled too.

I had so much fun today, and two ang pows. Well, one of the benefits of being single. Life is great, just great...
