Eating Out in BP

BP is another town in West Malaysia known for all kinds of delicious food. With our short stay in BP this time, we did manage to savour some of the famous food in this town. One particular outlet where we went twice is Swee Kee Tonic Soup.

Tonic soup served with yam rice.

In that outlet, I was drawn to one framed traditional Chinese calligraphy short poem hung on one of the walls. The theme is "Shě dé" or 捨得 which means "Willing to Share".

小捨小得,大捨大得.

有捨有得,智慧人生.

Share little gain little, share more gain more.

You gain only if you share, wise living.

At our second day at BP, we had lunch at SanYuan Gourmet. Shortly after our lunch at this cafe, I received a WhatsApp message from an old church friend sent from KK and attached with a photo of my wife and I eating at SanYuan. She posted: "Are you in BP? My daughter spotted you having lunch. My daughter said the face looked familiar but she was not 100% sure! That's why she dared not go and say hello to you!"

Her daughter used to be classmate of my son Paul at Yuk Yu Kindergarten way back in 1990 and 1991. Later on, she graduated as a medical doctor and married another medical doctor. The husband was posted to work at the BP government hospital. The family moved to BP and eventually decided to settle down in a small town, Sri Gading in BP after buying a house at a new housing estate there called Pura Kencana. Coincidentally, Sri Gading is the home town of my wife.
