A Little Misfortune OTW To Siniawan

The girls were looking forward to an evening out ... but while we were queuing up for our turn to exit the junction into the main road, we got involved in an accident. An old man driving a taxi was exiting from a lane, but it hit into a Perodua Kancil ... and so the Kancil driver lost control and skidded past our car before knocking into the Proton Wira just behind us. Darn.

Heart-wrenching damage

We got out of the car and thanked God that we were all alright, and the damage to our car was very minimal, compared to the other 3 vehicles. We merely got a scratch on the side and a nick on the bumper. Nevertheless ... we had to make a police report at the police station nearby. Giving our statements took us an hour and a half.

Coming here reminded me of the accident I got involved in last October, and it sure wasn't a good feeling at all. 

By the time we were done, my friend S insisted that we head to our intended destination ....

Siniawan 

It was drizzling ........... so we walked along the street to buy what we wanted to eat ....

Bacon on the left .... and pork belly on the right (RM3.00 each) 
The sauces for this skewer of meats tasted great! But of the two, I preferred the bacon which was more tender, compared to the squares of pork belly

Popcorn chicken, RM7.00
The chicken did not taste so good ..... the batter seemed to be a bit sandy in texture, and I needed lots of chilli to eat the chicken with 

Fried rice, RM5.00
This was quite tasty, with a smoky flavour .... except that it was a bit salty .... 

Sambal Fried Kueh Tiaw, RM5.00
Not bad too, not too spicy, smoky, and piquant. 

And for dessert ..... 

Durian egg tarts, RM3.50 each
I was very impressed with this last time ..... this time I think the custard was slightly harder, so that it did not melt in the mouth. Nonetheless, the durian egg tarts still tasted good! 

After dinner, we drove back to Kuching. S texted me today to say that her dad had helped her wash and polish the scratch .... and it now looked as good as new. :))
