Dinner Get Together on 12 April 2012


Not easy to get our buddies together. Especially on short notice.

Many send regrets and apologies as they are engaged elsewhere or going overseas.


So, seven of us gathered for a bonding dinner at Ting's Cafe.

Along with Chee Kiang and Lee Kiang, there was Swee Pin, Kooi Meng, Yau Kok,Bernard Yeo and myself.

What is Ting's Cafe?


It is a neighbourhood cafe located in SS2 and serves a mixture of Hainanese, Western and some Penang hawker fare. The food is pretty inexpensive and cooked home-style. Very delicious!

We ordered chicken and pork chop-Hainanese style, Hainanese fried mee, pork trotters in vinegar with its accompaniment of garlic bread, mantou and fried egg, fried salad vegetable and fried rice.

Strangely, we did not order their famous ox tail soup. May be next time.

We did have one mighty good time as Chee Kiang brought along a bottle of vodka and Swee Pin went out to buy two tins of Sprite to mix it with.

We had a great time talking about politics as usual and also about property prices and also stocks.

We also bemoaned the declining standard of English.

As usual, we left at 10 pm as the restaurant has to closed for the night.

Chee Kiang played host.

We departed with well wishes for Yau Kok who will fly off to Adelaide to attend his daughter's convocation and Bernard who will be driving up to Penang for Cheng Beng.
