My wife wasn't feelling well on Friday and I went out to buy lunch after working from home in the morning. I headed to the food centre at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh and was hoping the stall I was looking for was opened.
太太周五感觉不舒服,我早上在家工作后出去买午餐。我前往大巴窑4巷的熟食中心,希望我要找的摊位有开。
🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particularly the first of the 4 violin concertos, called Spring.
The good news was the stall was opened. I bought two packs with porridge and a pack of chee cheong fun.
好消息是摊位有开。我买了两包粥和一包猪肠粉。
I wanted to buy some peanut pancakes but the stall was closed so I went to the next roll to see what else was there. The bean curd stall was opened so I bought two bean curd desserts.
我想买一些花生面煎粿,但摊位没开,所以我去下一排看看还有什么。豆花摊有开,所以我买了两个豆花甜点。
Mission completed. Time to go home.
任务完成。该回家了。
My wife was having the boat porridge and I was having the century egg porridge.
太太吃艇仔粥,我吃皮蛋粥。
We shared the chee cheong fun from the same stall and the food from there cost $12.50. The bean curd dessert cost $2.40. Overall, a cheap and good Friday lunch.
