Quote of the Day

" At the sunset of our days on earth, at the moment of our death, we will be evaluaed according to whether or not we resemble the Child who is about to be born in the lowly cave in Bethlehem, since He is the criterion by which God measures humanity. "

Pope Benedict XVI

My Mum's Cuisine

Dinner tonight was at My Mum's Cuisine. This was chanced upon while scouting around the basement of Paragon for a suitable dinner spot.

What struck was the Peranakan type decor with oldne mosaic tiles lining the outlet. Another thing that caught my eye was the three chicken hanging in the display. Suddenly, pangs of hunger struck. I grabbed the wife and whisked her into the restaurant.

While humble and olden looking, the prices of the dishes was anything but humble. Though not exorbitant, it was not quite the price one would expect to pay for the fare offered. The menus showed semblances of a Peranakan menu but closer inspection revealed otherwise. There was quite a wide selection of food but I settled for a Fried Seafood Tang Hoon($8) while Fran picked the Fried Bee Hoon with Soft Shell Crab ($15). We actually wanted the Sayur Lodeh but it was unavailable so we settle for a sambal kang kong ($6) and a bowl of double boiled watercress soup ($5).

The portions served was not generous but adequate and surprisingly filling. Taste was good and therefore made the price of the meal a lot more palatable. One would be inclined to come back again but having more people would allow us to order more of the a la carte dishes.

If you are keen, here is the locale
