In Search of the Wholely Cobbler


Ha!Ha! In search of the Wholely Street Cobbler! Our quest took us to AMK and we went to the OCBC Bank area hoping to spot the good and cheap cobbler. The business was started by an old man who married a young pretty Chinese National. Then excitement overtook the happy man and one day we found out he passed on. His enterprising wife took over the business. But she was nowhere to be seen. So nothing is lost as we could go for the No 4, yes, No 4 mee and then return.

Wait a minute. This is ta mee but unfortunately not No 4. You see prosperoust stalls close for longer periods during the CNY. ( The one below our Flat has still not re-opened). This is the mushroom mee that we vowed to boycott since the AMK days as the seller's mother always put the vegetables on the floor. I remembered I once asked him why he did it and he replied that was okay. But again all is not lost as the coffee there is only 70 cts!.
So we went back and the widow cobbler was still no where to be found. Why mybakuteh was looking at something in the cheap corner stall, the indianboyfriend asked an uncle who said there was another one at block 167 near the bus stop and near the 7 eleven. So we took the long walk to Henry Cheok's place. No block 167, no seven eleven, only the bus stop. As we walked in disillusioned, another clobber appeared! Haleluya! Mybakuteh whipped out the GUESS shoes, and when she saw they were branded, she quicked charged $25 for resole-ing. Deal or No Deal! No Deal and we walked away! So the Wholely search goes on!
Yesterday was a sunny day except in the evening. It was a great day for a swim and yet the pool was empty. It has been less than 5 people every time!
Thanks to national library wifi, we now present the fish at Penang Bali Hai. Not these are moray eels and you can order them. Will you eat a Moray eel in all its beauty and grace?


Today will be a busy day for mybakuteh as she has a rather long eye appoint at the hospital stretching from blood test to consultation. Well if you asked me , she really need not go as she has an excellent eye on the indianboyfriend!. Today is Wednesday and we will be Perth tomorrow! Enjoy the day!
