Lunch with Vikram

I had lunch today with Vikram. We have been planning a meal for some time and it finally materialized today.

He had suggested a French place at Duxton or a Pernakan place at the Esplanade. I picked the Straits Chinese at the Esplanade. It’s nearer and French food can be a bit too much.

We spoke about so many things. The elections, the firm, people we know and his family.

I know his father and mother in law well as I have done work for them and I recall speaking to him many years ago to encourage him to join Rajah and Tann, which he did.

The food was decent and the place is nice, but as is the case with all Pernakan food, the rendang can make one feel bloated.
