B Hah's Lunch for K Hoon and us at Village Roast Duck.

K Hoon/Joanne is back in town again after her short holiday in Sydney and Melbourne, and this time, our long lost friend whom a lot of us have not seen, (me included. although we teach and retire at the same time in the same town) efficiently organised a get together for the 6 of us. She is Bee Hah or Madeline our classmate who was always top of the class.

She is an ex headmistress and quite capable of getting things done!  She whatsapped us, chose the date, time, venue, picked up Joanne and whisked her off to Village Duck where she had already booked for 6. She even picked up the tab!.

 Village Roast Duck proved to be a popular and a well-known place for duck and other delicious Chinese meats....and this one in Bangsar Village 2 is only one of its many branches.

It is famous for its duck of course, char siew and siew yoke.

So here I am at the entrance to Village Roast Duck although the scars to my face had not healed (no I did not go for plastic surgery...when my eyes are normal again, I will reveal my secrets hehe)

 

Lots of roasted ducks hanging visibly from the glass paned window, a sight guaranteed to make you salivate.

 Chee Moi,(Cynthia)  Kwee Hoon (Joanne)  and hostess Bee Hah (Madeline) excitedly greets each other.  I had already met  Kwee Hoon with Lee Choo last month.

Chew Lian arrived so I take a selfie first.

Ann Peng(Valerie) arrives!!! they have not seen each other for 43 years!!!

 

So, we take another pic with Valerie inside.  We are now 6. 

Lunch is served: mixed vegetables

 Titular Roast Duck: crackling skin, succulent meat, well deserved of the name of the shop!

Gosh I love this: char siew that melts in my mouth (I had so many pieces!) and siew yoke with skin that is crispy and crunchy!!!

Blanced kai lan

 signature tofu

so yummy, yummy, our lunch today!

 Picture with food

 catching up with food

 We cannot believe we took so long to get together for lunch!!! More than 40 years!!! 

 We feel 17! Like we just left form 5!

All of us are mothers of 30 plus year old to 18 year old kids!!

2 are already grandparents.

So, we are so glad to meet, wish we do not have to wait so many years (we definitely do not have 40 more years to wait!!!)

Convent Girls Reunion

Not to be outdone by BP High School boys, we convent girls also had our own reunion at Tonglok Novena Square 

BEng LNar LChoo GYan MKeun SBee..below: the sumptuos spread: 2 sets of our order!

SBee is a regular here and she was very good in ordering the best dim sum for us, 

And LNar did some reconnaissance the day before and got us to take advantage of a 30% discount from 3 to 4.30.

We had mushroom buns... Gigantic mushrooms that are actually buns with real mushrooms inside. 

Realistic and artistic yet delicious buns.

Baked buns and chee Cheong fun ( yummy minced meat with crispy flakes drowned in soya sauce)

SBee says "try these novelty buns"

Chai tau kueh 

Liu sar pau

Not for the food but for the sorority 

We stayed so long catching up we got a ice bowl of test tubed juice as a gentle reminder they are closing to reopen again later for dinner 

A glass tube  of apple juice ... One each 

6 convent girls who forgot they are 61 ,,, to them they are  only 16 ... In a wonderful girls' school in a little town called BP. 

Reunion dinner for Soo at Medifoods

My old, old friend Soo came from Hawaii (where she stays) and we had a makan makan for her at Medifoods Lifestyle Cafe.  I have not seen her since the days when she visited me while my eldest was still a tiny tot!

 nice facade..unique and non restaurant feel

 just like your home

 guest of honour hasn't arrived so we mucked about

 organice food for sale, but these oldies aren't for sale.

 There she is!  with her local sister whom she depends on to bring all over KL since she has been too long away!

 We started ordering first, and I had this fish head because I love spicy food

 Soo's sister had the Carrot juice and I was quite famished so I wanted a "food" drink and I had the lassi (banana and cashew nut)

 Our drinks came first...and the presentation was weird, and the carrot juice was actually too little, I shoud think!

 My lassi was generous and I felt generous in passing it down for! all to try

 yummy! Dutch mushroom fried ramen with vegetables 

 yummy yummy! sweet and sour pork with rice

 soup..ABC soup maybe

 rice for assam fish head

 assam fish head

 Hawaiian pizza for the Hawaiian girl

 our hot drink...passion fruit served in tiny glasses!

 cheers!!!
