My First House Guests @ Bagan Lalang

My parents and sister said they will visit me on Sunday. I thought they wanted to come for breakfast because here, in Sg Pelek, the breakfast is really good. But then this morning on second thought, I SMS them and what a good thing because my sis replied that they would depart after breakfast! Ah well ...

So there I was toggling away on computer and doing miscellaneous house cleaning, my phone on its perpetual silent setting and dad had texted me that they had already left the toll!

Naturally they were parked @ Public Bank and wandering around by the time I reached there

They had a quick look at my place and generally satisfied except for comments on clearing the weeds and getting rid of the ants. Other than that, it was all green! Thank goodness again! Next, I decided to take them to Tg Sepat since even sis had yet to go. We arrived and ate the pau. Everyone agreed it was no big deal. Tried the coffee and agreed that it is super thick. They bought the bottled juices and we headed down to the jetty - so called Lovers' Bridge!

Fortunately, it was crowded with lots and lots of people just coming in, walking around, buying knick knacks from that over-dressed shop in front before eating at the famous restaurant. As I have tried before and didn't like it and it was crowded, we went to the one adjacent ... and it was ... to me, at least, crappy too!

Oyster omelette - kinda strong flavour and salty!
Mantis prawns - overcooked until shrivelled and hard!
Shark - too gamey!
Ribs - almost no pork meat!
Veg - okay

See? Maybe I am too picky?

After that, we just wandered a bit more and they set off for home

So tonight, with the heat of the day, I am now going to go get me some BEER!!!!!
