Saturday outing

feeling bored and no way to go. remember that there is a paranakan restaurant at katong. asked if wifey was interest for paranakan food, she was quite excited. as the lantern festival is arriving soon, we brought along 2 nice RWS lantern.

Katong has quite a lot of food chains. the only problem is parking. the parking space is very limited with less than 20 parking spaces along the main road. for those without must parallel parking skill, it is tough.

Let me show you the place and the food.

Ambience is great. There have about 10 tables that can sit 4 to 8 each. Not crowded during the 6pm to 7pm on a Saturday evening.

Ayam Sioh (Braised Chicken in Soya sauce). Taste a little sour. Not wifey and mine liking.

Babi Ponteh (lean pork). Normal, nothing great!

Ngoh Hiong, Meat roll. Sightly expensive but great food.

Sambal Kangkong. This is good. Not spicy but with enough balacan.

After dinner, we headed to East Coast Park since it is nearby Katong area. Setup the RWS lantern and Keith is enjoying it.

finally

finally... i had completed the little nyonya drama series. the whole series was so exciting that i would want to watch another episode after i completed one. through this series, i learnt more about peranakan group but i cannot tell for sure if what shown actually happen in the older days.

1. the most oldest woman in the house is the decision maker for that house. the husband usually do not bother about any house related stuff.
2. tok panjang, the long table feast that rich peranakan have with friends/relative especially when they looking for potential son-in-law.
3. nyonya are supposed to cook very good food, otherwise, it is difficult to marry off.
4. nyonya are very good at beaded embroidery.

and u you have not watch it, try to locate a copy. it is a very excellent series about the peranakans.
