In life, there are things so adorable that you just can't bear to eat them.
Then there are other things that look so damn mouth-watering, you just can't wait to stuff them down your throat..like these pretty baby donuts
or this decadent-looking walnut chocolate bomb!
Both were farewell treats by two of my close colleagues, Ai Lin (the only person in my department who moves at the speed of lightning) ...
...and Yuen Wei (our temp staff for 3 months who really helped us through the hectic times).
10 of us were at Mdm Kwan's recently for their farewell lunch. Ooh by the way, the girl seated in front of me is Gaik Bee, a new member of our Health team. With Ai Lin gone and my department undergoing manpower expansion, we are now looking for more heads than ever to fill up the empty work stations!
Dear Amy has been a fantastic mentor to Yuen Wei.
Isn't it such a cliche that you hear people ordering
'Nasi Bojari' at Mdm Kwan's? This time we decided to go for rice with dishes at Mdm Kwan's, namely we ordered their Chicken Curry...
Assam Udang...
and Mix Vege Soup for the chilli-haters.
Quantity ordered was just nice (for a quick 1-hour lunch that is)- there was even time if Ai Lin had wanted to throw in her goodbye speech.
The dishes tasted ok, though for the prices charged, i had hoped for more of a 'wow' in terms of originality and authenticity.
The dishes here are mostly either in 'small' or 'large' size so by ordering everything 'large', each of us got our own piece of chicken curry and cold beancurd.
What we did not expect was when we ordered a pot of Chinese tea as drinks, we instead got 10 little individual teapots of tea.
And when we ordered 10 plates of 'white rice', they instead served us 10 plates of 'fried rice'.
Only at Mdm Kwan's.
