Back to Hometown

We were on our way to lunch this morning but the jam on CTE was right up to AMK Ave 1.  So I decided to get off at Braddell Road to avoid the heavy traffic.  As we drive along, I was still deciding on the venue for lunch.  We decided to go to my hometown Commonwealth Cresent market and hawker center for lunch.  The dessert stall there is very good and is still run by the auntie when I was still a very young boy.

The Japanese food stall that was featured in the newspaper is closed today.  So we tried one of the coffee shop that we have not eaten before.  We had wanton noodles and fishball noodles.  We also had signature deep fried pig trotter from the zhi char stall.  No regrets!  Just having a meal in the place I grew up is quite nostalgic.  My boys do not have any attachment to this place.  It is good they know the "ancestral" home although it is only 45 years old.
