The Old Folks Club
Met bingwei libing and leon for lunch, and we had chicken rice at yong chye chicken rice.
This place is commonly known as the "old folk's club" (lao ren ju le bu) to us and to most who have studied in schools around that area. brings back lots of memories of secondary and jc life.. why this name? go there and you'll realise that the staffs there are all old folks, all hainanese (i think, becuase i cannot understand their dialect, but it seems like hainanese) i was quite shocked when i hear this in sec 1, not shocked because of the old folks but because a nickname like that can be given for this reason.
Used to have lunches here during our eca lunch breaks on sat and during the school holidays. before the new king's arcade was built, this was housed in a corner of an old building at the exact plot of land, so old that you will not feel like eating after seeing how dirty the kitchen was, but most good food comes from a kitchen like that..
Anyone tried the chicken rice and the zi char here? miss lao ren ju le bu and the good old times...
