Makan Buddies File

Friday, 6th Feb 2009

Participants at tonight's jam session were treated to a nice desert from Maggie Yong - her home-cooked 'pulut hitam', brought to us in her hot thermos pot which kept the 'pulut hitam' warm and nice....Everyone couldn't wait for 'recess time' to start getting their fill......




We also enjoyed a selection of 'tau sar piah' bought from my favorite traditional hokkien bakery - Poh Guan Cake House at Blk 531 Upper Cross Street #01-57. They came with different types of bean paste fillings - salted, sweet, and peppery. Also those with yam paste and winter melon paste (all at $0.70 each). Then there were the two different types of 'ang ko kueh' ($0.50 each) and delicious 'lo-por peang' ($0.70 each). All the different types of pastries proved popular and disappeared quickly.















While at the 'tau-sar piah' shop, I noticed a long queue at the bakery 2 shops away - had to go and check it out, so just joined the queue. It turned out that everyone was ordering Barcook Bakery's 'special raisin cheese bread'. So, I just followed the crowd and bought 4 pieces ($1.20 each) to try, and they were delicious - a good find.




We shared 'Summer in December', new dance from Rep Ghazali - an easy 32-count dance which was well liked by all. Other new dances on the playlist were 'Mama Said', 'Shopping' and 'Hot'.

Favourite oldies featured tonight included 'I Said I Love You', 'Begin The Beguine' and 'Moonlight Coaster'.
