In Penang the black pomfret is much lusted after compared to the white pomfret . So , when we found this other place in Juru , where the price was still so low , I don't think you can ever hope to buy it at this price in our local wetmarkets.....we feasted to our hearts content .
Turns out , that the meal, triggered us to go on a fish binge . I do like fish , but am very fussy about freshness so that's how I end up eating less often than I should .
Proceeded to the Manhattan , for fish & chips this time . Dory. Really enjoyed that with one exception .
We were seated next to this lady and her daughter . Old lady was probably in her 60s . She kept glancing at us. Looked so often , it was beginning to annoy kiddo . I told him to not let her bother him and stop looking back at her please.
By the time she finished her meal I understood what was going on. Well , sort of. She was looking more often at kiddo because he probably reminded her of her own son.
She sighed heavily and said resignedly to the girl next to her .
" I will call ah boy and see if he wants us to takeaway for him or not. If he doesn't want , then forget it . Let's go "
she sighed and shook her head once more .
Her phone went straight into messaging . The volume was that loud .
Crestfallen and dejected , I think the plate of black pomfret above aptly describes her at that moment .
Mired in hollow regret and ridden with a pain in her heart that she could not right whatever the hell has gone wrong .
Hope everything works out for her .
