We’ve been issued with a summons, and our presence is
required at 7:00PM at the above premises! Hahaha, my dear old friend Chang Siew
Pheng (affectionately known to us as Chang Boy) is FINALLY getting hitched and
we eagerly went to celebrate this joyous occasion with the bride and groom.
I read somewhere that one of the greatest titles we can have is 'old friend'. Today is the day to invest in those people we hope will call us 'old friend' in the years to come. So, heartiest congratulations to you my old friend!

So, this time we will pay equal emphasis to the restaurant
and the occasion of Chang Boy’s wedding. First off, it’s pretty easy to get here
as the restaurant is right beside PJ’s Armada Hotel. Ample parking space but
the ramps are quite narrow and navigating around the tight bends can be a
challenge. The restaurant is on the seventh floor, and decorated in the style
and fashion of any typical Tai Thong restaurant.

Chang Boy was dressed to the nines (as he should be) and the
bride was equally charming.
 |

This wedding also served as a mini-reunion for ex-Southern
Bankers as I met and caught up with long lost acquaintances.

 |
| suckling oink-oink and roasted duck |
 |
| steamed mandarin fish |

 |
| the star of the night, chef's special glutinous rice! |
 |
| red bean puree with sago |
 |
| sweet fancy duet? |
After a change of wardrobe, the bride and groom partook in
the customary cake cutting ceremony before making their mandatory rounds to
every table for rousing renditions of y-a-m-s-e-n-g. Since we were seated right
at the back by the time Chang Boy made his way to our table he was suitably sloshed!

A special wish for Chang Boy & GiGi.. here's wishing each new day finds your hearts closer, your
lives fuller, your love deeper. Congratulations on your new life together. May
your marriage be filled with all the right ingredients: a heap of love, a dash
of humor, a touch of romance, and a spoonful of understanding? May your joy
last forever!
