Pig out session in JB

Activated!!!

At a moment's notice I caught a cab to Meyer Road where it will be our rendervous point.

A stealth black car with really "fierce" body kit pulled up alongside the road which I was standing on, & I got in without any questions. My middleman has arrived. Inside, sat 3 other "clients". Not a word was said as the driver quickly but surely drove us to meet "him".

He was known in inner circles as "mao mao" or "Hairy Ben". Feared for his torture he can inflict on you with the amount of body hair for not doing his bidding, we all shivered as tingles went up & down our spines. He was not there when we got off at the "secret location" The roads were deserted, nobody was seen at that place, at that hour. Kind of spooky if you could see what we saw & feel what we felt.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the distance. Gasp!!! "Hairy Ben" is here!!! With long confident strides, he suddenly came into focus.

"Na beh chao cheebye!!!" We come all the way here to meet you & you still can be late!!! Muahahaha...

Saint, Osim, S.Guan, Moi quickly got into Mao mao's car & quickly drove to the Esso station so we can fill the car up to the required 3/4 mark. We drove at breakneck speed to the Second Link onlt to find the bottleneck has already swelled with cars. Sigh. Initially our plan was for some light shopping before dinner, but by the time we cleared customs & reached JB, we were already weak from hunger.

So off to Ta Ma Hua Yuan (Taman Gardens???), which Saint told me is quite popular with Singaporeans. Oh dear, there's still so many good makan places I have not been to in JB. I must go more often. We ordered piggy's leg (or hand, we can't tell the difference), soon hock, veggie in garlic, stingray, prawn's granny swimming in butter, hot plate tofu. Wah!!! So piggy!!! The bill was around RM176, which included those huge glasses of sugar cane drinks. Wonder if you guys have read about how sugar cane drink is actually very unhygienic because of the way they stroe & process the sugar canes? Oh well. Life is short. Next time I'll just don't let my wife drink it when we're planning to have a child or if she's already pregnant.

It was also my first time eating the prawn's granny. It tasted just like prawn (duh!!!) but the best part was the crispy crunchy bits of flour. Even Osim who doesn't eat seafood in general likes it so much, so I thought I will give it a try.

Burp!!!

After dinner, we want to go for drinks, so Mao mao drove around & brought us to this place where the entire stretch of road was lined with pubs. However, we couldn't find sometimes that all of us could agree on, so we headed back to Correlian (Never tell us the odds) where I still had a bottle of Jack Daniel's left.

Soon, it was time to call it a night, we headed back to our respective homes, contented, drunk, happy. Maybe those with girlfriends were even happier as they went to meet them so that they can make themselves happy. Muahahahahaha. I learnt thay from Maomao.

Ja neh!!!
