Stewed pork leg with white radish (daikon).

We had the same dish for lunch. The one we had for lunch was more flavourful.

Dinner At Restoran Chuen Kah Fook, Menglembu

A group of us met up for dinner on Sunday, the eve of CMCO, conditional movement control order (from 9 Nov - 6 Dec, 2020). After this, we will not be able to meet up in groups, at least for the time being until further announcement. Due to the sudden surge of infected cases, this restriction was re-enforced to curb the spread of the virus.

We were all seated at an extra big round table. The following dishes were served on a rotating tempered glass top placed in the centre of the table.

Taro, pumpkin and minced meat in clay pot.

Deep fried tofu topped with minced meat, chopped salted radish, soy sauce, etc.

Eggplant in clay pot.

Here ends our dinner and hopefully, we will be able to gather again after cmco.
