From the garden
Know what this is? Do you like it? Look at the shiny, firm yet juicy flesh...
Here's how it looks like hanging from the tree, and some already dropped/plucked. It used to be quite expensive (and still is I think); therefore rarely gets to eat this when we were younger. After we have moved to our current place (my mama's home), we planted the fruit tree. Since then we have been able to eat this to our hearts content straight from our own garden. My MIL grew this plant too; the last I counted while taking photos, there are 7 fruits hanging on the tree :)
Want some?

Nyonya Food
Yesterday evening we went to try out this nyonya restaurant in Tanjong Tokong. It is situated near Naza Hotel; a residential premise with its interior modestly decorated with few framed nyonya photos. Service was quite fast as there were only two tables occupied, one being ours.
We had tau yew bak, assam pedas, inche kabin, jewhoo char, kiam chye bak-kut th'ng to go with rice. After that dessert was pengat. Verdict: all dishes tasted good (meaning edible and balanced la :P), of course tau yew bak still cannot compare with MIL's. The bill came up to RM75.30; that's including drinks. This is a more reasonably priced yet good nyonya food outlet compared to those more established ones on the island. One thing to note though is that they only accept cash... a small establishment's approach. Weekends only dinner available.
psst... these pictures were taken after we've started eating heheh... so the portion of the dishes aren't really that small :P

Protective Big Brother
Weekend dinner time we were eating out at a hawker center in Tanjung Tokong. The children had their dinner at home already. Girl was very restless and tried to climb out from the high-chair througout dinner; we could hardly have a peaceful meal. The father scolded her for being naughty.

Father: *scold scold scold* Afterwards you will get the cane when we're back home!

Daughter: Waaaaa..... *crying out loud*

Son: You don't beat my Jean ah! See!! You made her cry already!!

-_-"

Hahaha the father being ticked off by the son! It's very seldom of him to be protective of his sister, because most times they'll be fighting over toys or trying to get one another punished by us. Yet when he did that, I thought it was sweet of him... and simply amusing.
