roadtrip
met my sister last weekend for brunch at a 1/2way point town between the island and the capital. she had to travel 250km while we had to go around 130km.
we were up at 530am and left the house at 645am. ETA at 1.5 hours. it was a very pleasant drive all the way and i was going around 110-120km all the way.
very little cars and trucks and the weather was pretty cloudy. very comfy for a long drive on the highway. oh yeah, i missed the exit to where i was supposed to meet them and had to make a u-turn.yaya, human compass...
we arrived at 830am sharp and my sis and her 3 friends only arrived at 900am and so we only reached the dimsum place close to 10am. dim sum was so-so only with very limited variety. the prawn dimsum was quite good though. fresh and very tasty.
met thewife's old colleague and went for a "light breakfast" around 30minutes after the dimsum. we went to an old coffee shop in the center of town.
we were served:-
satay x20-30 sticks (it was an eat what you can concept and we only ate around 15-20 sticks)popiah original x3 (bigger and better than the one on the island but maybe because it had more stuff)
popiah fried x3 (the fried variety, i liked it a lot as well)
creme caramel x4bowls (very surprised they served this. it was quite good but not as good as thewife's. it came served with ice water so you can imagine how sweet it was)
stir fry beansprout x1 huge plate (theson and i practically ate everything)
soup noodles x4bowls (i did not eat this but thewife liked it a lot)
we only managed to finished 3/4 of the food. eventhough there we eight of us all together, or technically nine if you count theson, we were really struggling to finish the all food.
after that we went to buy the local biscuits in town and went window shopping for a hour before we left at around 230pm.the drive home was pretty fast with sporadic rain along the way.i really like driving the chevy on the highway. i can really "put the pedal to the metal" and its much more fuel efficient on long journeys.back at the house at around 400pm.
