Every year, Nic’s parents will invite us for the Khoo Kongsi Clan annual dinner. It’s an evening of speeches, scholarships, food and karaoke.
Last year, Nic’s dad brought his own DVD for the Karaoke session. Strangely, this year, he was contented to just sit by the table and listen to others croon away.
For Nic’s family, the highlight of the evening is the speech. Ever year, Nic’s dad will deliver a message to inspire the younger members of the Khoo Kongsi Clan.
Nic’s Mum always looks forward to his speech. She always looks at her husband admiringly when he delivers the speech. He usually shares a simple made up story that’s packed with deep meaning.
Meanwhile, I’m here to banter and joke with Nic’s cousin and sample the good food.
This chinese restaurant restaurant is at Tanjong Katong Complex. It is a simple place with minimal decoration but the food tastes pretty good. Shark’s fin is served though.
We always wipe every platter clean. Partly because the food tastes good. Partly because the older generation refuses to let anything go to waste.
