Are you ready for 2023

On Thu 22.dec.22, went to Taman Desa because he wanted to buy tang yuan to give the Elderlies a treat, a cheat day because today is Dongzhi Festival aka Winter Solstice Festival aka 冬至 so perhaps it will make them happy. Tuck Tuck Tei coffee shop is having a rest day so we bought lunch for the Elderlies from two different coffee shops. There are many coffee shops selling roast meat on the same street as Tuck Tuck Tei coffee shop.

Food From Stranger

On Sunday 18.dec.2022, went to Taman Desa to buy chapfan lunch no rice for ourselves.

At about 3 pm, we received a meal from Choo Choo chicken via shopeefood delivery when we didn't order any food from them. The rider read out our address. Apparently the buyer keyed in our address into the app or it could be the app went crazy and assign another address? The rider called the buyer to get the correct address which is a few streets away in the same Taman. What a mistake!

4. Okra

5. Two braised eggs
