Day 8 started with Roti Prata - an Indian dish which is plain flour (roti prata kosong) or with egg (roti prata with telok). It is a very simple dish which essentially is just lightly pan-fried flour. However, even though it is simple, in order to make a delicious roti prata, it is a demonstration of cooking and acrobatic skills by the cook. Roti prata is usually eaten with chicken curry or fish curry.

I had brunch (combination of lunch and breakfast) with a primary school friend - Pauline Ang and her kid. We had tim sum once again (this time in Holland village)!.... She ordered century egg porridge for me. And once again, I couldn't finish all the food. There was carrot cake, bao, glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves, dumplings etc. It was great to talk to Pauline and see what she has been up to after all these years. I haven't seen her since our primary school days. She insisted that we were school mates in junior college, but I hardly remember I seen her in school. Maybe I was skipping classes so often during junior college that I was barely in school!

On my way back home, I noticed that there was a foot reflexology place in the same block as my mom's home. Years ago, when I first recommended Hannah to foot reflexology, she was a bit skeptical. However, since the first time an old man massaged her feet with all his brute force, she has always wanted to have more foot reflexology treatment :). It is really that good and addictive!

The night winded down with dinner and drink at "Brotzeit"... a newly opened German restaurant in town. We had a couple of beer. The highlight of the evening was the pig knuckles, prepared German style! The skin was deep fried until it is crispy, but the inside is tender. The pig knuckles definitely goes well with beer. Germans do know their beer :).
