Butter buns,cha siew pau,peanut butter buns,bacon buns,etc.
These 2 photos were taken around 10'oclock saturday morning. Ya, the buns were still HOT,fresh from the ovens. Just in case Jonathan & Peony get to read this..the pics are taken for you & for the others who love the buns like sida saudagar Pat &Mang & sons & saudagar Inyau & Betty. I won't tell you how many buns did Peony & Jonathan eat altogether during their 2 day stay here.I had nowhere to go after sending D to the office & it was windy & raining so I decided to go this other office of mine. Because I am not holding any particular post at any proper office, the coffee shops have more or less been my so called offices. When friends sms early in the morning asking whether I would be going to the office, I would say yes.. and they would know where to go..yes, the 1st office would be 2020 then maybe Cafe 88,sometimes at Sau Pau and recently to Cafe Taman Yakin,once in a while to Lutong market for Ah Tak's mee or bubur at Kedai Wong. My good friend Hong, whenever he's in Miri,staying at a hotel opposite Servay,without fail,he would sms whether I would be at my office. ( Please do not get confused with "The Other Office" which is a drinking place cum snooker place not far from CB)
Oh ya,last Friday nite we had our makan at Kedai Kopi Wong and ordered the usual..kaki babi ala Philippines & some other dishes. The kaki babi somehow didn't taste as good as the 1st 3 kaki babis we had the week before. ..diminishing returns. Saudagar Anum liked the kaki babi & so did Jonathan & Peony for 2 nites running. Ya,for those of you who have never been to Kedai Kopi Wong in Lutong, the kaki babi is worth a try & so is their curry fish & not forgetting their salad taufoo. I'm partly promoting Wong's kedai kopi (not that it needs promoting because Wong ever told me me most waibees especially the Iban ever had their makan there) because whenever I go for the bubur in the morning, Wong sometimes belanja minum kopi.
*Fr. Ronnie maia agi di Lutong selalu makai bubur ba Wong & mee Ah Tak. Ti bisi rembus ke Kuching mai ke kita mee Ah Tak. Ha..ha..
Another favourite food to eat would be the shark's fin soup. The2n last time I ate shark's fins soup at Kokchee's was about a year ago before I got invited to Saudagar's Sidi's TG dinner. Food at Kokchee's is delicious and so is the price. The food that I would order if a bagful of cash dropped on my laps would be Suckling pig,sharks' fins soup,sea cucumber with brocolli, steam deep fried cod,fried asparagus with scallops,peking duck,yam basket & bbq kampung chicken. Dessert would be red beans pancake & white egg pau. The last 3times I had this menu was when a group of us held a farewell dinner for Fr. Platnner before he left for Holland/Rome. I think we had to pay something like RM80/- per person. Good food & Fr. Plattner was happy so he sang for us.
Another time again was when Apai Jalin invited a few of us to celebrate his windfall,so we had another makan.
Another thing that I love doing is imagining driving a BMW. I was for the past 3 years interested in the X5 and couldn't help envying 2 X5s parked nicely at samu 2 gawais ago.I know, I know,I shouldn't covet my neighbour's goods. I'm only human and just this morning,while driving back from town, I heard somebody honking as she was overtaking me..smiling & waving at me in her brand new LEXUS. Could it be Jenny aka bini kaban? ..not surprised cos kaban is churning money in Nigeria. And just in case you are wondering why that sleek BMW pictured above is also a topic of conversation...somebody smsed me a few days ago asking if I had any plan to go to KL...no was my reply..why ? I asked..so that I could mai nuan raun ngena kereta baru,ko iya. Good to hear despite the rising costs of petrol,life is still as 'normal' as can be. Praise be to God for that. That's all for now folks before I do more damage coveting my neighbour's goods. Please remember me,Lord & forgive me,good Lord.
