Mother's favourite paus

Yesterday I was in Plaza Damas to meet the lawyer over the sale of my condo unit. By chance I saw a small restaurant called Tanjung Malim, which apparently belongs to the owner of the famous pau shop in Tanjung Malim, Perak. I bought 4 paus with curry chicken filling. While eating the pau, I was reminded that Mother used to love paus with chicken curry filling and I used to drive to Damansara Heights with her just to buy her favourite pau.

Roses

ROSES

You love the roses - so do I. I wish
They sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!


George Eliot 1819-1880

Mother used to keep my favourite fruits for me

It is the rambutan season again. I had always loved the rambutans...it is something about the texture of the flesh of the rambutan that I cannot get enough of. Knowing how much I loved rambutans, Mother used to keep alot for me, either the rambutans from our own tree at home or rambutans given by her friend ChapSui who stayed nearby and has a big rambutan tree in her garden.
