Miss Chicken and I are sore and sorry after a big night on the turps seeing the Joy Division show fronted (and very ably so) by original bassist, Peter Hook. An amazing show, a Gen -X dream come true...

Nasi Kerabu with Ayam Percik - $12. Most interesting was the powdery stuff which had dried coconut and fishy flavours; delicious mixed in with the green salad and spicy barbecued chicken.

Sirup Bandang Soda - Rose Milk Syrup with a Fizzy Twist - $3. This was super sweet and much appreciated in our critical but stable condition, it was like a milky creaming soda.
