Off day

It was the shop's off day on Tuesday so everyone had a well-deserved rest. After all the Gawai weekend work at shop, everyone needed a good sleep and rejuvenation. Two of my Dayak staff went back to their respective hometown for the celebration so the kids came full force to help out at the shop. Tuesday was also a public holiday in Sarawak so the boys didn't need to go to school that day.

After everyone woke up and got ready, we drove out for breakfast. No jam on the road and the drive was smooth. We went to one of our favourite noodle eateries, Kim Joo for its vinegar noodle and mixed pork soup. How much we missed that!!



Luck was on our side as we found a parking spot right behind the post office. And we also found a vacant table right in front of the shop when we reached there.  Yes!!! It was a very good morning. 


Soon our breakfast came; we didn't need to wait so long. Our noodle with mixed pork soup. Never fail to impress and satisfy our craving. 


The soup was comforting and eaten with the slightly sourish vinegar noodle, it was a nice and filling breakfast. Everyone finished their noodle till the bowls were clean, literally speaking. Lol. We were ravenous and at the same time, missed the taste of the food. 

After filling up our tummies, we drove around the city, and all the way to Sentosa. Not all the time we were able to drive and enjoy each other company. Hubby suggested to go to Aeon Mall for a window shopping. We reached the parking space before its opening at 10.00am but it was only few minutes wait before it opened for customers.

We did some shopping at computer shop and then let the kids de-stress and have some fun at the games arcade. 

The boys had a blast there. They spent almost an hour there while hubby, Jan and I went to the nearby food court, had a chill and waited for them. 

After they were satisfied, we headed back to our car and headed home.  As for our lunch?? I bought fried rice from Kim Joo in the morning, while the kids had their favourite broasted chicken with savoury rice from Sugarbun. 


My verdict on the fried rice?? It was good and full of ingredients.

The fried rice sounds like a winner dish!
I don't think we have vinegar noodle here. Must be very tasty 😋

Behind the post office to Kim Joo is quite far...by my standard but if it is for the kolo mee and soup at Kim Joo, it sure was worth it! Love it too!!!

It's good to take a break and the kids are getting good experience helping out at the shop.
