There’s nothing quite like catching up with an Jin and that’s exactly what we did with Jin this week.

To kick things off, I brought Jin to one of my all-time favourite local eats: Bak Chor Mee. For those who aren’t familiar, it’s a beloved Singaporean dish made of springy noodles tossed in a tangy, savoury sauce, topped with minced pork, mushrooms, and crispy lard bits. It’s comfort food at its finest, and I couldn’t think of a better dish to share with Jin for his first taste of it.

After our delicious meal, we took a slow stroll down Serangoon Road, soaking in the lively atmosphere of the neighbourhood. The area, rich with culture and colours, made the perfect backdrop for deeper conversations and well-deserved laughter.

We wrapped up our little adventure with some tea and dessert at a cozy spot nearby  the ideal way to unwind and reflect on good times, both past and present.

Spending time like this reminds us that behind every professional connection, there’s a personal story and moments like these are what truly build lasting relationships.
