It’s been quite a nightmare for many people, and the F&B folks are some of the worst-hit.
I’m hoping there won’t be any nasty surprises for me when I finally get to go out next Wed (the first time in two months for me): one of the first places I really needed to visit is my regular coffee supplier, which gets this brand of coffee powder from one specialist roaster in Ipoh. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the shop will still be there and open, as it’s the sole distributor for that brand in the whole of Penang.
I’ve also been taking a peek at the delivery options offered by my friendly neighbourhood French bistro. Very enticing:
1 bottle of Malbec, quiche, antipasto skewers, preserves, cured meats and cheeses, bread and crackers plus dips (MYR105/£17)
1 bottle of Chardonnay, cheeses, antipasto skewers, leek quiche, chutney, hummus, pesto rosso, bread and crackers. (MYR105/£17)
Foie gras de canard with onion jam & toast (MYR 145/£27)
