Weekend Updates

There is this Steak place close to our house that we drive past almost everyday. At weekends, the road will be packed like crazy as patrons park on both sides of the road to savor the offerings. There would be so much smoke bellowing from this place that you would think that some BIG uncontrolled fire has ensued. But fret not...it's just the smoke from the barbie! Some friends who live in this area said that the steaks are indeed good.... We have saying that we will come and try the steaks for the last one year or more....

Finally...we went to Abuba for lunch yesterday. We were there early...at exactly as they open...which is 11 am. Therefore, no crowds yet. Kids were of course complaining...as Abuba is a shop by the road with no AC and plain wooden tables and stools. Spoiled Brats, they are!!!

Here are some pix....

Guy at the Barbie...
(only our order on the barbie...so not so smoky ...YET)

One of the Posters on the Wall
(Don't pray pray. This roadside shop serves NZ, Aussie and US Meats...and even Wagyu!)

All the Condiments you can think of!
(Tomato Ketchup, Chilli Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Tobasco Sauce, Sweet Soya Sauce, Salt, Pepper, Mustard, etc)

My Tenderloin...YUM YUM!

H's Lamb Chops...Also YUM YUM

Boys' Salmon....Another YUM YUM!

Have to say that it was quite an enjoyable meal.... Certainly will come again!!!

What else did we do??? H introduced 'card building' to the boys. What is that?? Building a little structure with cards. He used the boys' Yu-GiOh cards. Boys were soooo amazed that they actually sat there and attempted to build their little structure with their stack of cards. (Modern kids...donno much about old-fashioned games like this nor marbles nor tops..) I actually fell asleep on the sofa while waiting for them!

Here's a sampling of their masterpieces...

We also went out to buy Alien Vs. Predator to watch... so that we are more abreast with the story....before we went to watch Alien Vs. Predator 2 today. Not exactly a show suitable for kids. But watch with the parents better than watch it somewhere else...
