Piggyback Paktor

Year after year, I have difficulty clearing my vacation days. Even worse in the year of the pandemic, when vacations aren't even possible. Good enough to take the day off and do nothing at all. KH suggested that I tag along his busy day. Any day is automatically made brighter with a morning skank session. The breakfast of champions. The first appointment of the day was lunch with KH's ex-colleague. The original plan was to eat at Pelita, Jalan Ampang, but we couldn't get a parking space, so we shifted our lunch venue to Menara Hap Seng instead. Been a while since I ate lunch there. The old shops like Trattoria Il Porcellino and Starbucks had both closed down. The building is now connected to the adjacent office blocks. On the upper floor, there's a SugarBun - Asia Borneo Food, a new addition. Many Sarawakians grew up with this fast food chain. KH's colleague recommended that we try the Sarawak Laksa. In addition, KH ordered Sabah giant garoupa fried rice. Also noticed an uncommon term on the menu-- broasted chicken. Broasted means fried in a pressure cooker, which sounds like KFC to me. 

Later in the day, we went to Queen Beans Cafe to meet a couple of new friends over coffee and cake. KH thought that he was introducing two friends, but turns out that both of them were quite close friends. LOL. The geilou world is very small. Wicked conversation ensued. That ended a day of paktor-ing that piggybacked on a typical work day for KH. But it didn't end there for him, he still had other people to meet after he had sent me home.
