I always enjoyed meals with my dad.
We would chat about work, catch up, share stories and experiences and of course his occasional naggings about remembering to do things that I should do etc.
Of late, I found more significance in these meal-times. It's a constant reminder of this once young tall and lanky chap who has aged so much. And been in such a large part of both me and sister's lives.
I did, once, catch him with his mind wondering off into the distant... And I speculate that probably could be his wonderance of tee-ing off at his favourite golf course after that lunch with my uncles and close family friends.
In reality, he should. And that is now a priority on the checklist.
The traditional Hainanese kueh below brought back alot of memories (its name is pronounced as "bwah"). They remind me of my late-"beh nian" (wife of my eldest uncle) who made these for special family occasions.
