My Travels: Day 2: Watching Blade Runner is a new Event

I woke up bright and early, hoping to catch my first bowl of Kolo Mee.

It was not to be.

Breakfast was at the White Rajah Cafe, so that Pat/Rickey and Marty could sip their tea and eat their scones and cucumber sandwiches while watching the natives paddle up and down the river.

I grabbed a bowl of "Kuching Laksa" to tide me over. It was actually pretty good, except that the put coriander on top of it. Damn that coriander. This "Kuching Laksa" did not taste like any other kuching laksa I've had before. It was rich and coconuty. The soup was quite thick and very flavourful. The ingredients were also quite generous. (This is where Mikul will step in and say "That is not kuching laksa").

Still hungry, I begged for kolo mee. 2nd breakfast. We went back to the kolo mee that I fell in love with in 2015. I found out the coffee shop is called 'Good Taste Cafe'. The kolo mee came, I ate, I stopped. This wasn't it. Something's changed. I knew it from the first bite. It was the same shop, the noodles looked the same, but it was not the noodles I was looking for. Marty concurred. He went to check. Two young whippersnappers was running the shop. The old guy wasn't there. I left, disappointed.

First event of the Semi-Annual Redneck Olympics. Bowling. Pat is the undisputed champion of Bowling. No contest. We can only fight for second (me) place.

After Bowling, we went looking for the next Event (darts). Little did we know, we stumbled on a new event that will be part of the next Redneck Olympics, "Staying Awake for 3 hours while watching the most boring movie on earth). No one won this event. We all were all losers. We lost 3 hours of our lives.

Dinner was to be at "The Heritage", a fancy chinese restaurant that Marty has been talking-up for the last few years. His contact came through with reservations (the restaurant is always fully booked, and you cannot get a seat without a reservation). The food was as good as Marty promised, if not better. I didn't get any good pictures, but the roast duck was amazing. One of the best roast ducks I've tasted. And the fried prawns was a step above most of the ones in SG. And the icing on the cake was Rickey paying for dinner (he lost our Fantasy Baseball bet)
