Makan time!

I received a sms from Da this evening. Big Foot had invited the Three Musketeers' family and us to his new home for dinner! He will be cooking tonight.

I heard that Big Foot is an excellent chef, so I am looking forward to the dinner.

More updates coming your way... burp (in anticipation)!

...

As promised, here is the update!

As it was friday night, we had difficulty hailing a cab from the Central Business District area. Da and I met up at the taxi stand next to my office building's lift lobby. After waiting for some time, I tried to call for a taxi. Even that took awhile but finally, we managed to be allocated a taxi. Guess what? While we were waiting for our taxi, several empty taxis (that were not on call!) drove up to the taxi stand where we were waiting! We were so tempted to board one of those taxis and cancel our booking but that would not have been a nice thing to do.

Our taxi finally arrived. However, goodness me! The traffic jam along Robinson Road was atrocious on a friday night! The traffic was crawling at snail's speed. As we were approaching the padang, we saw numerous police cars along the side of the road. I heard that there was going to be fireworks at 9 pm but I did not have details.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally arrived at Big Foot's home. It is lovely! He had bought a 4-room Housing & Development Board flat. The previous owner had converted the balcony into part of the living room, so his living/dining area is spacious.

Big Foot had outdone himself! He fried beehoon and cooked chilli crabs. The Three Musketeers were at Big Foot's place since the afternoon and Supercute cooked the vegetables (delicious!). The braised duck that ET bought completed the meal. We ended the meal with canned dessert, bananas and gin & lime.

Are you salivating yet? Here is the visual treat:-



Big Foot owns a male poodle named "Ben". Ben is about 14 years in human age, which would make him about 98 years in dog age. He is such a lovely and gentle dog! He had some problems with his hind legs previously and due to the operation that he underwent, his hind legs are a little weak. He is absolutely "manja" and loves to be petted. You can hardly hear him bark unless he is in pain or discomfort. He is such a joy to be around.

Unlike some dogs, Ben loves to eat fruits, especially bananas and apples.

I noticed that Ben appeared to have lost some weight. Big Foot explained that the vet said that Ben has developed some heart problem and is currently on medication, which causes him to eat less. Get well soon, Ben! We love you! Mwah! Mwah!
