Old Friends

I went for a picnic with my some of my friends and their families today. I have lost touch with some of these friends for about 10 years! It was thanks to Facebook that we got connected again!
It was fun catching up, admiring each other's children and reminiscing about old times. These are friends whom I have known since we were 13 years old! When people ask how tight we were, I used to answer, "we went through puberty together!" Ours was a co-ed school so naturally, our 'gang' was made up of friends of both genders. At that time, being one of the bolder ones, I took it upon myself to 'educate' the boys about girls, and would answer almost any question thrown at me!

We parted ways when the sun was hot and high and when we ran out of drinking water; promising to keep in touch. I went home very tired but wistful about the times we spent together. So when hubby asked what I wanted for dinner, without hesitation, I said, "Taiping food!" I just wanted to linger through my childhood years, just that little bit longer; and nothing does that better than a hot bowl of "Taiping Sar Hor Fun" with a generous dollop of their homemade sambal and a bowl of cool and sweet "Black Sugar". Admittedly, what I can get in KL is far from the real thing, but for the time being, it will have to suffice.

For a little taste of Taiping, go to Restoran LYG Dessert, 41G, Jalan USJ 10/1A, Taipan Business Centre. Or call Mr Loh at -012 3103397/016 6521128
