Snow and Food Serendipity

I was in London today to talk biofuels with someone but was met with an unusual event at an unusual time and place. It was snowing in South London. When I got out of the train, the tiles on the roof of the houses looked white but I initially thought it was just frost, as usual. Then when I walked closer, the roads and the lawns had snow flakes covering on top. I knew that couldn't be frost anymore. Quite an unusual surprise.

It was an hour journey back to Central London. Winson invited few days ago to have dinner at his place with his parents. I missed home-cooked Malaysian food, so without a second thought, I promised to come. When I arrived, they had cooked more than just a simple meal! I would have easily settled for anything since I understand they were here on holiday. It was a sumptuous dinner, with curry chicken, braised pork, home-flown red seabass steamed with mushrooms and vegetables. As if these weren't enough, we also had the dark glutinuous rice for dessert.

As usual, I have frightened both Mr and Mrs Tan when they saw the amount of food I devoured. But they were also happy to see such an appetite. It's good omen in Chinese belief? Haha!

Pork, o pork! Why did you have to look so appetising! I have overeaten and it's all your fault!

Now, I just got an idea. Maybe I should get my mom here for a while...hehehehe.
