In search of 老黄肉骨茶!

Few years back, the Lim family resided in a 4-room flat at Towner Road (Near Boon Keng MRT station).. The 肉骨茶 stall opp the road used to be their favourite.. Usual weekend haunt! The stall had a lovely name.. It was affectionately known as 老黄肉骨茶~ HAha... It was a lovey dovey relationship.. One couldnt do without the other.. Awww....

Suddenly, 老黄肉骨茶 disappeared one fine day.. Without a sound, it MIA!! No call, no notice, no nothing... It was heart wrenching.. And we suffered from serious withdrawal symptoms.. Life without delicious 肉骨茶 was difficult.. No amount of chicken rice, char siew rice, fishball noodles can ever replace 老黄肉骨茶in our heart.. HAha! It was that bad.. Life was stale and boring for the next year.. The Lim family never gave up hope.. Having faith that one day, 老黄肉骨茶 would return to our embrace once again..

Soon.. after a year of endless searching, Lim family found another new love.. Another 肉骨茶 stall captured our hearts.. With its delicious mei cai, Pigs trotters (black), 肉骨茶 soup (clear), you tiao! My goodness.. It was love at first sight.. It was like having an affiar with this new stall at kelantan Lane (somewhere sim lim square).. While still thinking about 老黄肉骨茶, we still went ahead to patronize this new stall.. Early morning rendezvous was exciting! HAha...

Life was just as wonderful.. even without 老黄肉骨茶... This new stall had replaced 老黄肉骨茶, in our hearts.. Totally... It was only recently, we saw 老黄肉骨茶! They've shifted to somewhere near Golden Mile... HAha! It was like meeting an old lover.. We were full of anticipation.. Eager to see how 老黄肉骨茶 has been doing so far.. We ordered the usual.. And was disappointed........

Gone were the days where 老黄肉骨茶 used to top our 肉骨茶 chart's ranking... Sad to say, it tasted (the feeling/passion) is different... *sobz* 老黄肉骨茶 pales in comparison to the one at Kelantan Lane 肉骨茶......... We've found our soulmate *fireworks*... HAha!

The Lim family sincerely wish 老黄肉骨茶 all the best in whatever it does... And let's welcome our new love! Kelantan Lane 肉骨茶 =)

HAha... Such crappy 肉骨茶 love story.. Not easy k =P
