We went for a cuppa in Walker Art gallery after seeing Grandma, and then watch the biennial films and looked at the John Moores paintings - it was nearing 1pm and the Grandma queues had lengthened considerably.

We were quite excited to be able to try this new "Malaysian Cuisine" that appeared in Chinatown, especially after several false starts of it being closed for one-day renovations a few days after it's opening, and queues during lunchtime.
Maybe our expectations of it were too high, but our first impressions was that the coconut rice wasn't that "lemak". In other words, not rich enough in coconut milk and/or pandan leaves, or in their posh terminology, "pandanus". Aiya, call a pandan a pandan lah. The beef rendang was quite good, but wasn't that great. I think I prefer the rendang at Nelayan where the sauce is rich and unctuous. The sambal squid turned out quite well though, tender morsels of fat squid in a good tangy sambal. Julia failed the dish after tasting soggy peanuts and ikan bilis, the deep fried anchovies that are supposed to be crunchy.
Next came the "white coffee" that Old Town Kopitiam supposedly invented, so named after the White Cafe that was its birthplace, or so the story goes on the Old Town White Coffee website. One sip from both of us and our knowing glances at each other signalled, instant coffee. C'mon lah, brew the real stuff.
Our last dish was the Char Kuay Teow. They had ran out of blood cockles, or clams proclaimed the menu, even though it was a AUD2 addition to the dish. Authentic CKT comes with cockles. If you don't like it, exclude it, but perhaps in a nod to Western sensibilities, it is left out. Educate their palates I say. While the noodles and dish itself is not bad, with a faint whiff of smokiness from a hot wok, the noodles were thin, like Pad Thai noodles. Not entirely authentic, but not too bad either. And the prawns were decent sized.
The logo on the signage and menu suggests that it could be somehow related to Old Town White Coffee or Old Town Kopitiam in Malaysia. I should have asked a friendly waiter dressed in black, who i suspect might be the boss or shareholder. Then again, the service was very friendly overall.
Would we go back? Well, I'll at least give it a second chance for the curry laksa, assam laksa, chicken curry, or the nasi goreng fried rice. I didn't even manage an Ice Kacang or Cendol. Both sold out, apparently.

Macau government ordered 20 million masks after the first coronavirus case was confirmed in the city on January 22. Each resident can buy a maximum of 10 surgical masks every 10 days for only 8 patacas (US$1) at designated pharmacies as long as they present their Macau identity card. Macau government made such move to provide peace of mind to residents.
Pas d'un gout exceptionnel. Mais à gouter pour se rappeler qu'on est au sommet de la chaîne alimentaire
Arriving at the place (ski gear sale) we thought the queue was about thirty people until we walked outside and saw this. And this wasn't the worst of it.

Part of the long queue to buy the special unleavened flat bread Lagana on Clean Monday (Kathara Defthera) at the famous Takis Bakery in Koukaki. It took Ritsa over 3 hours to get our two loaves.
Boxing Day Sales start. There are queues half a block long waiting to get into many shops. Smart shoppers are sitting at home letting their mouse - or in the case of smart phones, their fingers - do the waiting.
Riding the Ferris wheel in Gorky Park, I noticed this peculiar reflection in our cab: a textured metal grate under our feet, a slice of my bluejeans in the upper-right corner, golden autumn leaves on the ground in the opposite corner, and in the center a cluster of people below, standing in queue to buy tickets from the sales booth with a green roof. Press L to view large on black.
“The Queue” is a photo I took at the coastal town of Cienfuegos, in early morning light around the market area. It depicts men lining up for their rations. One of the gentlemen is holding up what is likely to be his ration book.
My latest blog article is a follow-up to the column I wrote on the Art Wolfe blog last week about the stories a photographer can tell through imagery.

A queue of BrightBus buses on Houghton Road, North Anston waiting to enter the depot after the morning school runs on a miserable Monday morning.

Queuing to be vaccinated as Sheffield Theatres became a pop-up vaccination centre.
