A simple lunch, or is it not?

A lunch, just a lunch,
Or so, one thought.

No longer as simple as it sounds.
Like before no more.

To ask or not to ask?
To eat or not to eat?
A duo, a trio, a quartet or solo?
A duo invites talk, a trio too much of a click, a quartet but that's just a fraction of a whole.

Much thought (full and less) goes into it.

One's absence or presence speaks volume, much volume.

Laksa goreng

Lunching and steeping ourselves in nostalgia at Curry Times.

*laksa goreng or dry laksa

*sesame oil chicken with plain rice

*handful of nostalgic biscuits we remember from old times (complimentary)

*cold winter melon drink with selasih seeds. These are actually basil seeds but popularly known as selasih and used in Asian dessert and drinks. When they come into contact with water, they plump up and turn somewhat gelatinous. I've used them for konnyaku jelly.

*our favorite side dish of cold tofu topped with salted egg crumbs and century egg slivers

Green gyoza

Interestingly delicious gyoza or 'guotie' at Zhou's Kitchen.

It has got chives in it and is toppped with a cheese sauce. Chives and cheese surprisingly go well together.

Playhouse nestled in Rochester Park

Seb's Bistro at Rochester Park.

One of our favorite places to go to when we feel like a treat. And where we can slowly enjoy dinner while the kids have fun at the playhouse (entry charges apply).

There's a trampoline which can take 2 to 3 kids and it's netted all round to prevent them falling off.

The Weekend Roast ($48 before taxes) is popular and usually runs out by dinner.

The dining area is al fresco and gets hot in the afternoon. The playhouse thankfully is air-conditioned and gives respite from the humidity and heat.
