My dad wanted to eat 'seh bak' at Katong and so we went down to this stall. 'Seh bak' is braised duck slices with deep-fried pork rolls, hard-boiled eggs and fried fishballs, topped with a thick, dark savoury sauce. It's usually eaten with rice that is cooked in the sauce, giving it the name of 'black rice'. I have eaten this since I was a child and I still enjoy this each time I eat it, to the extent that I actually finish my whole plate of rice.
I had a craving for the traditional type of butter cake and my parents recommended Chin Mei Chin confectionary next to Holy Family Parish in Katong. The one I am thinking of is the extremely yellow centre with a brown crust and a cherry amidst it on top. Unfortunately, it wasn't ready when we reached there. I remember patronising Red House confectionary to buy it, as a child.
