I gawt me a propa job. So on de day dat I gawt it, Jian said he'd bring me to eat nice fings. He's lucky I neva insist on EXPENSIF nice fings, ok.... I oni askd fer REASONABLY PRICED (akcherli, is considerd cheep liao, fer de food) nice fings. BWAHAHAHA... So we end up here, yet once again.... wif.....

Pork Knuckle in Aspic (again)... ($9.80). We ate before liao. Dis one is funni-shaped cos it is eitha d head or d tail end of d fingy. (Was sliced out of a big sausage-like roll (like ham). I think supermarket deli section also have.)

Now, we are oni left wif de pork ribs to try.... I dunno if i realli lyk to eat pork ribs tho..... Dat's prolli why I din orda it & ordad d chicken, wich I haf eaten before, dat nite. So liddat lor....

(Jian says: It was a Thursday night and business was good. They seem to have increased their capacity by placing more tables outside their neighbouring unit. However, I think their kitchen may not able to keep up - our appetizer of mixed sausages platter was only served to us after we were almost done with our maincourses. Oops. But of course, this is just a casual eatery that doesn't charge us service charge.)

the pickled red cabbage looks like shredded beetroot. salads tend to have beetroot in them.
