Bro is Back
The last I saw my brother was CNY 2020 before the borders were closed due to COVID-19. With the borders open, lots of annual, and an expired passport, he returned home. Good timing because it was my mother's birthday and it was Raya Puasa (lemang season). KH helped me organize a joint (Little Monster's birthday as well) birthday lunch at OUG Jade Restaurant. The minimum order for a private room was RM1,000 but it was worth it because the whole place was swamped with people celebrating mother's day.
Although we were so full from lunch, and the non-halal Tiramisu birthday cake from Say Cheese Cafe, we still went to Mikaa Cafe for coffee. Very spacious, but the acoustics were horrid. Just one table of makcik bawang was enough to give us a headache.
In the evening, we had a very light dinner at aboutyu, a new family-owned cafe in Happy Garden. Their mascot is a lizard named Tofu who 'greets' customers at the counter, together with no less than a hundred Bettas lining the walls. The husband and wife team were practically running up and down tending to the customers, while their little daughter was wolfing down a plate of grilled chicken wings. Good life.
