a minute a day to say a little prayer for someone

Everyone deserves to lead a sweet happy life and it's everyone's duty to make another person happy, the least one could do is to say something or do a little deed to make life a little bit easier for another person.

Find solace in good food...

In fact, I've recently moved my office from Inanam to Asia City with my capable assistant to hold fort at our front-end showroom, as I've said earlier ... manpower reduced, work-load maintained if not increased ... I'm lucky to have a nice young lady who's so hardworking and cheerful, she's born in the year of the ox, just like me, but she's 24 years my junior ...
Sometimes, we joked about what an ex-colleague had to say to sneer us, he said, "Oxen are meant to plough the paddy fields... so work hard, no complaints..."
Anyway, life still goes on, work has got to be completed, someone has to be responsible but in the midst of the current chaotic situation at work, we can find ways to look at the good sides of everything.... such as we've moved to a work-place surrounded by food shops within walking distance and the days are still young for me to explore and taste all the food varieties.

This is Ah P'ng Kuay-chap, one of the stalls at Restaurant 88, Asia City KK.
The lady-boss told me they came from Sarawak, kuay-chap is a Sarawakian delicacy, I've tried that during my working trip to Kuching recently.
'Chap' actually means a mixture of this and that.....
Ah P'ng sells pork-mixed, beef-mixed and another popular Sarawakian delicacy - huang jiu mien sien. The pork/beef-mixed consists of meat, meatballs, intestines, stomach and tongues of pigs/cows.... with an aromatic hot soup, you can add in yellow noodles, kuay teow or meehoon.
Huang jiu mien sien is a very thin noodle in hot chicken soup mixed with rice wine (huang jiu). A good dish for ladies during their maternity confinement, I had a lot of that during my confinement as my confinement lady was a Sabahan married to a Sarawakian and she came back to KK after her husband passed away. That was 13 years ago! How time flies!

Delicious pig meat and tongues cooked in black aromatic soup...very tempting...
I'm not adventurous with intestines and stomachs... so I ordered kuay-chap with sliced pork & tongue...
Yummy! I love kuay-teow in big pieces and hate it when the kuay-teow are cut into thin strips which makes it difficult to feel the texture...oh, I'm drooling... life is so sweet and happy when you come face to face with gooood foooood !
