Reliving old days...

Yesterday, a group of old friends made a spontaneous trip to the Malaysian town of Malacca after 11 years. When we do such trips, which are rare these days given everyone's hectic schedule, the 3-Fs rule applies: Fellowship, Food and Foot reflexology. Visited an unusual eating house for dinner. Walked like 15 minutes through old shophouses and finally we found this famous eating place. But one look from the outside, you would not have imagined. The cook is at the entrance and cooking up a storm as you walk in. There are only 5 large tables inside and the owner of the place, a jovial and teochew speaking old man personally takes your order...with lots of good laughter and recommendations. That evening, we had noodles with oysters (house's specialty), drunkened prawns, fried soft-shell crabs and roast suckling pig...yummy. These eating houses are rare in Singapore these days as more and more restaurants are becoming commercialised.
