Afternoon Tea with Slug

Sneaked out of work in the late afternoon to have an enjoyable high tea with Slug at one of our favourite hangouts, Bao Today. Their dim sum just makes us keep coming back for more.

A gleaming egg tart

Fried prawn dumplings that MUST go with mayo

Siew mai topped with fish roe

Petite bo luo char siew buns

Steamed prawn dumplings topped with scallops

After that, Slug bought a HUMONGOUS candy floss for me. It appealed to my sweet tooth inititally, but sipping bits of that huge sugary pyramid made me sicker with every minute.

Candy floss larger than my head

By the time we met up with Bo for a jovial chat, the candy floss had gone straight to my kidneys. I could not believe Bo would be working overnight to salvage what was left of her corrupt SPSS file and having to deal with threatening calls from the office ghost (eek!).

My buddy for 11 years!
