Spice Into the New Year: A Start-Work Lunch at Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine at 8-10 Mosque Street Happy Lunar New Year to all my readers, wherever you may be. I started work today (19.02.2026). Although not many colleagues were around, I still managed to gather a few close ones for a “start-work lunch” at a fancy restaurant that serves Chinese cuisine. After some discussion, we decided on Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine in Chinatown. Even better, it was my first time trying their food. I’ve always known it to be a popular spot with notoriously long queues. Thankfully, we arrived early because right after we were seated, a steady stream of patrons began pouring in. Snacks & Ice Cream Corner for patrons once you enter As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the Snacks & Ice Cream Corner located opposite the waiting area. I didn’t even realize it was there until we were about to leave! My colleagues especially loved the Golden Horn Snack, but I thought both options, including the Crispy Crust, were equally good.

Public Phone

I guess most of you have used public phone before... But with the technology advancing everyday, these public phones will be extinct soon enough. Just like pagers. I kept 2 of them at home for memories (I think I have more than 2 but not sure cos memory loss over the years). Another one will be the number '1711' which we usually call to check time but it has ceased its service. We shouldn't forget their existence which actually help us in our daily life. I mean last time. For now, is all about smartphones. Yup! I own a SII and once contract end, I shall change to Note II. Why I don't support Iphone is because so common everywhere and one of my module assignment is about Apple and I am kind of disgusted after reading more about them and also analyzing them on how they manage the company, their staff etc. *PUKE* That makes me even don't want to use their phone. 

Back to public phone. So one insert 10 cents to the coin phone for a 3 minutes talk. Any changes right now? I have long time no use it. But my parents do. Phone cards. Do you have a collection of them? I used to have a lot because when I was young, I return call using public phone when someone page me. Wahahahah... Wow... Those were the days. But now, coin phones are getting lesser. So are the phone card type. Mostly foreigners are using it to call home. But... now they also own a mobile phone hor. Some smartphone users okay?

I took few pictures of the pay phones. You might think is crazy or something but before it extinct, must keep for memories because you won't see them next time. Enjoy.

Kind of dirty hor and I wonder how much germs over the handset.
Another one and typical one. The shopowner kept it when they close shop for the day.
I guess I can't find the even older version of it. But I will just keep a lookout. Shall update here if I find it. The more advance version with coin and phone card type.
