Happy Mother's Day to all Mother

Woke up at 5.30 am today to go marketing at Tekka market. Heard that there's 2 stores that sell big and fresh Sri Lanka Crabs and true enough, the stores are there. It's really very hard to find fresh crabs in market . Most of the crabs we saw in markets or supermarkets are either small underage crabs or it smelled of ammonia. Bought a few crabs, white promfret, lala, seafood and vegetables.

Tekka Market unit no. #01-66. Owner Robert Lim.

Brought mum to the famous Outram Park Ah Hua Ba Kut Teh for breakfast. She loves the soup there. The boss chatted with us and told us about his unfortunate past when he met with an accident and became paralysied. It's a mirale that he has recovered and he's doing lots of charity to help the needys now.

Prepared a few simple dishes for Kennie and my mother in law but of course with the help of Kennie.
