Over A Bowl of Henghua Pak Mee

Henghua Pak Mee at Meng Kui. My favourite place for it. I’ve mentioned Meng Kui in so many places, from Going Places to Tiger Tales to dragging friends and family to the place.
But, it’s not about Henghua Pake Mee today, though it centres around it. This was where I started to chat to Liew Suet Fun, author and life adventurer.
She’d been at the office on a different project a day or two before. I’d been busy with my own thing and hadn’t really made time to get to know her. She bought lunch and Meng Kui was the perfect place. They have such good local specialties.
I enjoyed talking to this woman who has travelled much, thought deep (you’d have to be, to be a writer; and a published one, at that). And fun. She was fun.
The next time she came, we had conversations over pansuh manok, tapioca leaves and terung assam. I still don’t know her as well as I’d like to, but I think we’ll get there. And I think we’ll do that over a lot more food and fun. And most importantly, little to do with work.
