A Brother's Birthday

May 25, 2008

.A Sleepy Trip Home.
What started as a quite simple afternoon outing quickly turned into a quick-paced, joyful and highly eventful evening! The day started with a usual trip up to Sydney Road again, with the regular gang, joined by Mr. Canon to buy some food for the household. As we couldn't meet up today for our regular brunch outing, we decided to hang out yesterday to relax and take a break from the anguishing academic world.
After having bought lunch at Kebab House and buying the necessary items, we boarded the tram and nestled ourselves at the very back. Each took their own solitude: some through soothing music whilst others caught some ZZzzs... their heads bopped up and down against the tram's window pane as it made its way down the street with each stop getting closer to home.


As we were about to depart our ways with Mr Canon, having promised to meet up again in the evening for dinner, Ms SG sprained her ankle. Her misfortune was a result of her buoyant need to hop and skip across the street, consequently she landed and rolled her ankle, thus sprained her right ankle.

We rested at home, taking the opportunity to relax and by nightfall, the house was stirring with recovered energy. Dinner with Mr. Canon was in ChilliPadi.

.A Brother's Birthday.

For hawker-style food that can be found in almost all Asian cosmopolitan cities such as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, at cheap prices I think many people may find ChilliPadi quite a pricey place. But alas, I think we have to take into consideration other influencing factors such as availability of products, location of restaurant, rent and such as well.

That being said, ChilliPadi is a nice place to dine albeit expensive. Food was great, as said before, serving hawker-style food with an up-class dining experience. It's quite popular with the Asians, I've noticed. Perhaps it's because the food reminds them of home?

Ms DT's Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang

I ordered the roti chanai with beef rendang: beef simmered tender in a spicy concoction of spices and coconut milk. Ms DT ordered he
rself the Nasi Lemak with beef rendang while Ms SG, Mr DG and Mr Canon spoilt themselves over ChilliPadi's version of kuey teow basah- Basically something similar with just a fancier name in it's menu... teehee

Following dinner, we took the opportunity to have a little birthday celebration there, secretly ordering a nice chocolate mouse for Kim, who turned 21!
