Party at Puteh

CNY fever had been initiated at the OUG morning market. Rats and mice take center stage. Was a bit surprised when Vince told me that one couldn't find apam balik at the Bangsar morning market, so I went around showing him how easy it was to get the traditional snack at OUG. He was excited by the big pan variety. Personally, I prefer the smaller apam balik.



Later, mum and I went to settle some stuff at the Airbnb. We were there till late, so ate lunch at Top Chef Food Court. The vision is to have collection of "up-and-coming Superstar Chefs" all under one roof. Pretentious names never work lo. Business was lukewarm, and the food not superstar standard. But the interior is not like your run-of-the-mill food court, but instead use a lot of mismatched furniture, up-cycled wooden planks, and even sports cast-iron chandeliers. Mum and I weren't impressed by the Ipoh shredded chicken hor fun. The kopi had some oomph though.



Post-lunch, we met up with SK and CK at Little Jakarta at Pearl Shopping Center. The avocado juice there is no longer worth the dosh.



Reluctantly, I wrapped some Christmas presents in the afternoon. Sooooo lazy. So many to wrap, and KH even organized an extra gift exchange party next week.



Did you know that there's a remote wedding venue deep in the Subang Airport area called Puteh Subang? Mum's friend's relative was getting married and had extra seats. We didn't know the newlyweds, we were just there to makan ! The whole setup was pretty posh, but the toilet was like something out of a NS camp, and parking can be a bitch. Most of the people at our table were friends of the groom's parents. Obviously they were a posse back in the day. From my estimate, they were in their sixties, and interesting to note, one of the ladies actually sported tribal ear piercings. Generally a fun evening as there was plenty of alcohol, the voice talent was impressive, and the food decent.
