The other day LL remarked that it's been quite some time since I last roasted a chicken and he missed his roast chicken sandwiches. So last Sunday I bought a whole chicken for this very purpose.

It is also a stone throw away from the wet market and that's why we headed there for brunch after the marketing spree.The foodcourt is a bit deserted in the mornings...business picks up only towards lunch time and will be at its peak during … [Read more...]
