SATAY PARTY - LOTUS RESTAURANT - DAH YEH - KK

On 14 October 2015, Kwan Kar Choi hosted a Satay Party to catch up with KK Old Boys on the latest happenings.

This is the 2nd time Kar Choi hosted the gathering - his first was Seafood Lunch in Kak Leng followed by this Satay Party. 

Kon Sanfg hosted the 2nd Seafood Lunch in Kak Leng with Hee Meng hosting a Durian Feast as lunch dessert. Tommy hosted a Cocktail Dinner in Bukit Padanng Food Court too with Mooncake as dessert. More of Old Boys gatherings should come if KK Old Boys like it!

Khoo Puay Guan was unable to join us as he was celebrating a special occasion with his Love. Tommy Siew was flying from Burma to Thailand on a Solo Holiday and weren't able to attend. Sim Kang Loong was supposed to come but tied up in a meeting and apologized for his absence. The invitation was posted on the chat group and they responded and turned up at the Lotus Restaurant.

It was a smaller get together with Kwan Kar Choi, Chung Hee Meng, Wong Wan Kong, Leong Ming Yee and Chang Kon Sang.

We were there from 5.30-7.30 pm and the restaurant was packed and so Heee Meng choice was this popular eatery. We had pork satay and BBQ Fish over Tiger Beer.

We all reckoned Seafood Lunch in Kak Leng on a Saturday would be a good proposition with Satay Parties in between lunches to maintain our KK Old Boy network.

We thanked Hee Meng for coming up with the idea of a Satay Party and Kar Choi for hosting it on this public holiday (Start of the Muslim New Year).

On Hari Raya Haji, Thursday, 24 September 2015, Tommy Siew hosted a cocktail dinner for St Mary Old Boys.

They are Tommy Siew, Kwan Kar Choi, Leong Ming Yee, Wong Wan Kong, Chong Tze Fah, Sim Kang Loong, Chung Hee Meng and Chang Kon Sang.

Cocktail started at 7 pm and we dispersed only at 10.30 pm and the night, chatting on a range of topics from tax investigation, current political investigation and the property market.

We look forward to more gatherings in the last quarter of 2015.

Yam Cha in Indah Keranamu

On 23 August 2015, St Mary Old Boys gathered in Indah Keranamu for hi tea organised by Chong Khen Foh and hosted by Kon Sang who came back for the weekend.

It was a pleasure for the old boys - Francis Fong, Chai Hing Wing, Stephen Ng, Chong Khen Foh, Lee Len Wing, Pang Vui Poh, Chung Ket Chung and me. We chatted from 2.30 pm to 5 pm and all relished our time together as all are now 60+.

All the Old Boys find Indah Keranamu to be a pleasant rendezvous for "yam cha" and there is also a Karaoke upstairs for those who love singing.... definitely Khen Foh will organize more "yam chai" at this rendezvous. 

St Mary'sOld Boys - K Kinabalu Mini Reunion Lunch & Durian Feast

On 19 August 2015, a Wednesday, KK Old Boys organised a Seafood Lunch & Durian Feast -  a mini Reunion and also a Welcome Lunch for Edward Chik who was here for a stopover visit. 

Attending the lunch were Chung Hee Meng, Edward Chik, Tommy Siew, Sim Kang Loong, Wong Wan Kong, John Liau, Leong Ming Yee, Kwan Kar Choi, Chong Tze Fah, Chang Kon Sang and by special invitation Philip Chong (Edward Chik friend from Sandakan). - making a total of 11.

Leong Ming Yee was key to the lunch preparation and helped us in buying the fish, prawns and fish head for the lunch. John Liau also brought cooked wild boar meat for us from Beaufort. Hee Meng hosted the follow up durian feast offering10 durians of different varieties. Other than a vegetable dish, Kak Leng cooked the seafood dishes for us in her kitchen from fish and prawns bought by Leong Ming Yee.

We have selected this eatery because it was Leong Ming Yee who introduced Kak Leng to us - she was from Sandakan and had worked in Bamboo Restaurant in Sim Sim and the Sandakan Central Night Market. 

Kwan Kar Choi was the first to host the Lunch in this eatery a few months back.

We enjoyed a good chat and delicious seafood lunch from 12 noon to 2 pm before we dispersed.

St Mary's Old Boys Seafood Lunch at Kedai Makanan Kak Leng in Kolombong - K Kinabalu - 13 June 2015

Edmund Kwan invited K Kinabalu Old Boys to a lavish lunch on Saturday (13 June 2015) at Kedai Makanan Kak Leng in Kolombong.

This eatery is patronised by Richard Leong Min Yee for years. Richard will bring his catch of fresh seafood to this eatery and Kak Leng will cook it for him and his friends. Richard and friends even buy their own table and plates which they keep in the shop for their own exclusive and personal use.

Ka Leng is from Sandakan and she used to work in the night Central Market food stall and Restoran Bamboo in Sim Sim in the 60s.

Richard Leong introduced this eatery to me and I have become a regular. I also introduced Kak Leng to Kar Choi and he likes it too.

When Sandakan Old Boys were treated by Chai Hing Wing to a Labour Day Dinner in SRC Restoran, Kar Choi as K Kinabalu Old Boys natural leader also treated Kk based Old Boys to a lavish seafood lunch. 

Kar Choi as the gracious host was particularly pleased with Sim Kang Loong turning up in his CNY red shirt. Hee Meng no show raised curiosity but he later explained on our chat group that

he was bed ridden, down with flu and fever.

The lunch started at 12.30 pm and we had a hearty chat until 2.30 pm - the closing time for the eatery.

TQ Kar Choi 

Coffee Shop Chatter - Tommy Kar Choi & Kon Sang

On this Saturday (24.1.2015), Kar Choi called me to meet up for lunch so that I could pass the Crystal Cruise brochures to him.

I called Tommy and he was only too pleased to join in and Kar Choi was kind enough to pick both of us up and headed to Inanam Ka Len Coffee Shop for a fried noodle lunch.

This eatery was highly recommended by our Leong Min Yee to Kon Sang who now patronised Kedai Kopi Ka Len regularly.

We felt we should meet for Saturday lunch or hi tea more regularly in KK just to catch up
