Yuen Garden Gabbing
I usually attend Mandarin mass on Sunday mornings, so it's usually off-limits to social gatherings. But this time round, mum wanted to attend a talk at the Kwang Tung Association, so we celebrated the Eucharist on Saturday evening instead, so she had Sunday morning clear. And so, seeing the wonderful opportunity, I asked Gratitude out for a dim sum breakfast at Yuen Garden, Puchong Jaya. So nice of him to say yes although it was already 3 weeks in a row for him eating there. I would have said no in a heartbeat. :P. The place was easy to find since it was so large and can be seen from Jalan Kenari. We ordered most of the classics-- siew mai, ha kau, wu kok, char siew bao, chu cheong fun, loh mai kai, fung chaw and pai kuat. However, out of those, one could taste the flour in the chu cheong fun, the char siew bao and wu kok was not fragrant enough. And come to think of it, Anton did not get to eat his egg tarts. We washed it all down with tea (茶王). Gratitude showed me the waiter that Pikey was salivating over. He really likes 'em young!
Everything under the sun was discussed-- dowager management, friendship, love, psychos on the net (no doubt I am one of 'em), charity, religion... Having enough of tea, we moved over to the Old Town Kopitiam nearby to continue. The place was tastefully-decorated. It was nice sipping kopi c on their comfy sofas and having the cool breeze on our faces. However, the service was a bit sucky. Gratitude also brought me a sample of his steamed yam cake and steamed pumpkin cake. Deliciously-made with the famous variety of Klang yam. According to him, the chilli sauce tasted a bit off, but it was great anyway. Saying our goodbyes at around 1:00pm, I headed for home. Rested a while before deciding to go out for a swim at 4:00pm. Only managed 75% of my target and my freestyle still sucks. The weather was still acting up. Neither wet nor dry. Frustrated, I just swam in the light drizzle. Mum jogged in the drizzle too. Dinner was a satisfying meal of Bario rice, stir-fried snakehead slices and vegetables. The end of another weekend....

Anyway, is tempted to follow for dim sum session but too bad, vege >_<
It also tastes delicious!
@LittleD:
We both had not exercised for a long time!
@Cest:
I have a supplier and my mum recently went to Kuching. Vege Dim Sum? :P
@Pikey:
Perhaps you were the culprit.
@TZone:
Hehe. I'm sure he cooks even more elaborate meals for you!
Look out for it on his blog.
@BBear:
Both!
Off = a little too much lime zest which gv the sauce a slightly bitter aftertaste. :)
