Almost 2 years ago when Cynthia and I were raw and new to London, it happened that Kwee Lin was posted here by her company for a few months and it was her who helped integrate us into London. Fast forward 2 years later, she is back again on a 2 week assignment. It was good to see her after so long, and especially so because we missed each other when I was back last October. Oh and did I mention she was also my shifu and lunch buddy at work when I first started, because it was her who taught me PnL stuff from Day 1 when I knew nothing.We spent last Saturday together, having dim sum for lunch with my ex-intern. Wen's studying in Bath and specially came down to London with her bf and another friend. Kwee Lin's colleague recommended her this restaurant called Phoenix Palace and turns out Wen & guys were also thinking of going to the same place. How coincidental is that considering how big London is and how many Chinese restaurants are there! Plus this is not in the usual Chinatown; it's at Baker Street. Anyways I suggested us all going together. How fun to yum cha with friends from Hong Kong :) (It's cool to have friends in HK. We have a pact to visit each other when we go back to our countries in time to come. Plus sheepishly I must admit... I've never been to HK!!)
Wen's bf said since I am her shifu, that makes Kwee Lin *ahem* shi-gong!!At night we met Alicia and hubby for dinner at an authentic Jap restaurant. Followed by yoghurt dessert at Snog near Soho.
As you might guess, we actually wanted to suggest dinner at Four Seasons restaurant (been a long while since I went) but aiyoo KL doesn't eat duck! :( And when we quizzed further, she doesn't take beef either. "I don't eat red meat." says KL. And Quek who was quiet all these while, suddenly asked very seriously, "Do you take char siew? What about bak kwa?" hahaha lame leh -_-"
