Cafe 1986

26th July 2014

Me and a few friends were not able to meet up during Chinese New Year, so for the Hari Raya Holiday, we finally made a plan to meet up. Initially, we planned to go to Pavillion or One City, however decided to just choose a cafe nearer to home because we just needed a place to eat and talk. A friend suggested Cafe 1986, since no objection, Cafe 1986 it is. 

Before I left for the place, I googled and searched Cafe 1984, and the top results were all related to George Orwell's 1984. Hahaha, I typed wrongly, it should be Cafe 1986. I guessed the Cafe 1986 came from the year the owner was born. Anyway, if the owner put named his cafe as Cafe 1984, I am pretty sure it won't show up in the first 10 or 20 pages in Google Search.

Dates

During the month of Ramadan, there were many advertisements on dates on the radio station. So, I kept hearing the name of the brand "Yusuf Taiyoob, Yusuf Taiyoob ....." everytime I tuned to the radio station. Well, after some time, I guessed the advertisement worked, when I saw the Yusuf Taiyoob dates in supermarket, I bought one packet. 

Normally, I only eat dates during Chinese New Year because that was the only time where my family bought many kinds of dates (red dates, black dates, etc) for praying. This Safina dates was very different in terms of taste, texture and size.
