2 Sep 2024 – Montfort Care Goodlife Makan

Fri: morning coffee@local market to be reminded by my regular stall that its school holiday week and Happy Teachers’Day today in SIN. Tkx to Clement for the info but despite these good sales, will stay away from places where there might be too many ppl, also am trying to declutter and rid stuff in my 4-walls!

Sat: tkx to Hannah for visiting and for getting me out to discover this wonderful concept by MontfortCare – GoodLifeMakan,SeniorActivityCentre@52MarineTerrace#01-198(Designer: DP-ArchitectsPteLtd) where a group of elderly residents comes by daily to voluntarily prepare meals for one another. Good luck to Hannah for bike-trip in Oct and hike in Dec, will live veraciously thru’her&Heiko from their exciting adventures.

Lunch is served every last Sat of the month and will try to be there to try different things the next time to give my support – sales go to keeping this location afloat! First time tasting this unusual DryLontong, dish made of compressed RiceCake,etc and this version is something new for me. TaiwanGrassJelly, again something new with a combination of grassjelly,beans,some kind of sweet potatoes,etc. UncleMeng’s(in his 90s)ButterCake – all decent including the MocktailDrinks for 2ppS$30.

Sun: simple Bfast@local market and later to coincidently discover that nephew had the same except that coffee here was just plain but according to him the milk foam actually goes well with the you tiao. Need to find somewhere that does that with fresh crispy YouTiao to try together as local market coffee stalls do not froth the milk but where fresh crispy YouTiao can be found!

Mon: doing my best to pack&gather stuff to fit into bag, no matter how big or small whenever this flyer for doorstep collection appears. At Mustafa and CitySquareMall but much of it was under renovations – so no more AirZone? reno-works everywhere including the neighbour.

Tkx for these images from Linn about the progress of the tomato plant – perhaps I can be a farmer in my next life, hahaha!
