Thriving in Old Age: Simple Care Strategies

When we were kids, it wasn’t easy for our parents to watch us grow up and transition into independent adults. Now watching our parents grow older is never easy too, especially when memory begins to fade. Over the past few years, particularly since the COVID period, I started noticing small changes in my mum as time goes by. At first, it was forgetfulness. Then it began to hit hard with repetition, confusion, and moments that felt unfamiliar. Brought them out to the mall for a walk. What makes it harder is that my dad is her primary caregiver, managing almost everything at home while the rest of us live separately. Like many families, we’re learning as we go, figuring out how to support both of them in ways that are practical, sustainable, and compassionate. Please don't pretend you haven't been frustrated at all during this process. We all know how hard it's been. The more you care, the more it gets into you. So, are you really okay? If you’re in a similar situation, here a...

Food Review | PAUL Restaurant


Be a smart diner, grab their All Day Set Special from 11.30am onwards, Mondays to Fridays (except for Public Holidays). Lucky me and my friend. Spotted this offer and headed straight in.

At $15.80 per set, you get the following:

  1. Appetizer: Soup of the day or Prawn Cocktail Salad
  2. Main course: Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce or Pan fried Salmon Steak
  3. Dessert of the day (check with the staff)
  4. Drinks: Homemade Iced Tea, Coke or Coke light
Because there were two of us, so we enjoyed the best of both world. Anyway, there are only two choices.


Appetizer

I fancy their Prawn Cocktail Salad. Especially when mixed with the sauce that tastes like Thousand Island. The vegetable soup was good too (my friend said it was broccoli) but the bread was extremely hard to consume even after dipping in the soup, in hopes that it could soften it. But it didn't.



Pan Fried Salmon Steak

Fresh is the word that I can use to describe the salmon steak. Finely mashed and savoury potatoes to match. And a little crunchiness from asparagus. Overall, decent taste but no hype over it.



Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce

Tender and flavourful meat. All thanks to the roasting skills of the chef and also their rosemary sauce (the saving grace on the overall taste). At least, a little moisture on the meat was retained that made it less dryer. 



Dessert of the Day: Raspberry Cake

Every meal should end with a dessert. Especially something sweet. And I would say you get a layer of taste from this slice of cake: light flavour on the outer layer of jello, creamy and smooth on the second layer (cheesecake I suppose) to a mix of sweet and sour taste from the middle section (berries especially), you don't know how to react and just squeak a little. Good attempt. Like sending a shock wave to the entire body. 

I would think that if an expensive restaurant has set meal offers like this plus you are not so particular with taste, go on and dine in now. If not, just pay more for better choices. The former is just right for me though. Bucket list checked.
