Bak Kut Teh Dinner

On reaching Singapore, my sister took care of me very well. She sent her son-in-law to fetch us and take us out for dinner as her family car is in the workshop and she was working that night.

Hearty and delicious meaty fare for a filling dinner...ribs herbal soup, trotters in dark soy sauce and pickled vegetables.

this shop is supposed to be modelled after the Muar (Johore) Bak Kut Teh shop

Three bowls of ribs in herbal soup stock that they kept replenishing

Clay pot sizzling tauhu

Sambal Kangkong (water convoluvus)

Black pepper venison

Nice and clean interior of eatery, we chose the non smoking air conditioned area

my nieces, married and unmarried

Exterior of shop...well patronised

Good Year Seafood.

Andrew sent us to Tampines and later picked us up again for countdown at One Raffles Quay.

On 31st December which was a public holiday declared by Prime Minister for winning the football cup by the Malaysian team, I took my daughter for Form 1 orientation and then hopped onto the bus bound for Singapore!!!! My husband who had a holiday fetched us to Bangsar to catch the coach.

Nice landscaped entrance of secondary school, her big sister's alma mater.

With the private school fiasco behind her, she sportingly settled in.

Parents and students milling about.

My old friend! She is now at this new school

My girl went to the Koperasi to get her track bottoms and Ts.

She was late from the cooperative so she sat behind.

HM and PIBG chairman.

Ha ha ha!!! We are now at the highway stop enroute to Singapore!!!

Being a true blue Johorean, (I also spent 5 years at a Johore kampung school, where I had Javanese mee, soto, mihun soup etc) I must have mee rebus.

Then she curled up with her Vampire books inside the comfy and spacious bus. She said that this seat would have been the First Class seat at the local airline, just fancy that!!!
