23 Feb 2025 – Chinggay 2025
Thu: appreciations with thanks to KK for Peranakan lunch@Godmama,ParkwayParade/MarineParade-decent Otak&SayurLodeh, do like the BuahKeluakPasta.
It is my aging-taste-buds? but food here seems to taste different from that@Funan?? Have always like the taste of BuahKeluak/PangiumEdule 黑果 must get myself a packet to try for chicken dishes too. Note: seeds of PangiumEdule contain hydrogen cyanide, a deadly toxin. They must be fermented or processed to remove the toxin before consumption.

The first time@Godmama but was at the Funan/Sep2023 with Leonear&Chuan who was visiting from KCH then – @GodmamaPeranaken/Funan, good OtakOtak&NgohHiang(pork& prawn rolls).
The difference between herbs&spices is which part of the plant each comes from. Herbs eg,basil&thyme are the leaf of the plant. Spices are the plant’s buds,bark,roots&seeds, eg, cloves,cinnamon,ginger…
They have the ability to take your taste buds around the world and have been around for hundreds of years. Not only add taste but also have potential health benefits, such as improving symptoms of certain medical conditions – pix downloaded.

Vegetables, herbs and spices. If you can combine those ingredients, that would be the best dish you’d ever cook – Rinrin Marinka
Fri: CCF&Congee lunch with Henry@MT-market and nice to bump into AudreyW to share a table with her. Relaxing chatting the afternoon away about movies, especially when we have common interest for some of the classic movies with stars like the beautiful AudreyHepburn(1953RomanHoliday) and ElizabethTaylor(1958Cat-On-A-Hot-Tin-Roof), in their elegance&glamorous era.
Sat: quite a change@CityGate/BeachRd, now packed with Thai eateries. Nice tiled-wall@StJohnHQ.
Re-screening of “Light on the Lotus Hill” at Projector X after 12 years – The Online Citizen
While thinking of father&waiting for either Bus16or196 on NicholHighway today as it is not affected by any diversions until tomorrow – was pleasantly surprised to see the ChinggayFloats driving by probably on their way to Marsiling-YewTeeGRC.
Looks like I missed them in my GRC but if really want to see them, there are 4more Heartlands’GRC locations they will be at! Blessed to have them to myself with no other ppl at the bus-stop, will not be anywhere with crowds and my definition of crowd is more than 2ppl. Two might be company and 3 is definitely a crowd – hahaha…

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it’s a good design for a bus – David Hockney
So convenient with DIY-Popiah&Laksa by FortuneFood where everything is prepared&delivered to the doorsteps – a day early to celebrate Calvin’s Bday! Of course very different compared to Iyas’s HomemadeLaksa but better than none!
