Sunday, 26 June 2022 - Hubs was supposed to meet the rest of us at Seoul Korea Restaurant for Korean BBQ. It was yet another working weekend for him. We were so disappointed when we saw that it was closed with a notice that some of their workers were down with Covid.
So we walked to Taiwan Braised Pork Rice And Dessert, just a stone's throw away. This small eatery serves pretty good Lu Ro Fan (braised pork rice). For the longest time, I've wanted to try their taro balls and sweet potato balls ice dessert. Each time I'm there to get a take-away of Lu Ro Fan, the heavenly aroma of the taro and sweet potato balls simmering in brown sugar makes me swoon. I'm always very tempted to get one of the desserts to try but never got around to doing it. Today I have several other people sharing the dessert with me... and sharing the calories too. I ordered two bowls to try.
Halfway through lunch, hubs called to say that he was unable to join us as he had a last-minute meeting with an event organizer on some upcoming events. Oh ok, work comes first. He transferred some money to Alycia's Grab account, who then paid for our lunch.
Sherilyn who has been extremely busy with athletics and volleyball practice in school the past two weeks as there's an ongoing inter-school sports meet, only joined us later as she just wanted to laze in her bed 😑. She took a bus to the cafe to meet us as public transportation is free throughout the month of June.
Yeah, this girl always makes things in life complicated. Never one who takes the easy way out, she just likes challenges. She could have followed me to the cafe in a car but she preferred to take the bus. I can never get a simple classic orange cake from her because she would add icing, homemade marmalade, and a whole bunch of fancy-schmancy add-ons to the cake which I DON'T LIKE 😂

| Noodles with fried pork cutlet for Alycia. Before I could snap a photo of Cass' pork croquette rice, she had already attacked the rice. |

| Sweet potato fries, which were delish - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. |

| Taro and sweet potato balls dessert with Aiyu jelly. |

The food is pretty good with reasonable prices. We liked the desserts more than the main meals. The desserts are a fraction of the price of similar ones sold at Mid Valley and Gardens Mall. I'll be back again soon to enjoy the desserts. It might be as early as this Sunday with the girls. Hubs will be working again this Sunday and the mil will be stuck at home as she'll be going for cataract surgery for her other eye tomorrow.
