lunch today

Just now had late lunch in Gadong, to the so-called "Seria" Keow Tiaw... it's a quite well-known eating place here in Brunei, for the low budget chinese people (but then again, you'd be surprise to see rich Chinese businessmen who hang out there as well)... its just near to the famous kopi-tiam in Brunei, Gin Chew (the famous hot bun kopi-tiam, serve hot at 2pm, 3pm and 3.30pm and where by 3pm the whole restaurant will be populated by the Brunei civil servants)

one fried keow tiaw costs about B$2.50 (chix or beef, n egg) but duno why today I think they overcharge me and hubby by 50cents (I didnt order that extra egg this time, lady) .... if in Seria town itself, the fried keow tiaw at the Old Pasar (market) will cost only $2 per plate...

anyways, the Gadong place is getting well-known by the Malay community ... i was surprise to see my malay friends eating there (although the shop serve no pork) but you know... being in "chinese" restaurant, some radical would jump up and down and create hovac if they knew... if people get tired of eating the hot bun at Gin Chew, they can just walk across the road and eat the fried noodles...
