I (Iris) rarely write about our food adventures, but this one happened without Kevin, so I figured I had better step up. Chinese New Year celebrations last for 15 days, so we are still in the middle of the festive season. Besides enjoying family and delicious food, a common activity during New Year is playing cards. So I was super excited to get a chance to combine good friends, good food, and cards thanks to my TLC family! Since it was a Wednesday night, I had to leave Kevin at home as he had to work early the next morning.
The evening started with dinner at Heng Hwa Restaurant in Taman Desa. My friend Peggy was hosting us for the evening, and this was my first time in the neighborhood. There’s a million great looking spots to eat, and Heng Hwa was no exception.
This place was fantastic since the menu consisted of huge pictures of the dishes on the wall. Pictures of things like this:
It was essentially Blackjack that we played, though I’ve never actually played Blackjack before. It was great and I learned a bunch of great phrases I’ve already forgotten…Oi (like hit) Moi (like stay) and a phrase that means ‘chicken bone stealer’ which is the phrase for someone who’ll always plays it safe. Win or lose it was awesome! (P.S. I won)
