Hiyashi chuka or cold noodles

 

This hiyashi chuka, a cold noodle dish which the Japanese eats during the hot summer. This dish brings back memory of Sunny Kam who passed away recently.

It was 1988 when Sunny who was a cs then that I flew with him to Fuk. We had a few days in Fuk. 

One afternoon we ordered hiyashi chuka for lunch. When our orders arrived, Sunny was shocked to find the noodles were cold. He called the waitress and complained that the noodles were cold. Little did we realised that the dish was supposed to be cold. There was a commotion as we could not speak Japanese and the waitress could not speak English. Sunny was angry and demanded the staff replaced the cold noodles with something hot. Again due to both parties unable to understand each other there was chaos. Some customers tried to help but to no avail. To the Japanese there was nothing wrong with the cold noodles but to Sunny noodles should not be served or eaten cold.

After much frustration, we left the restaurant. Later we found out that there was a misunderstamding.

Singapore Airlines crew story

She used to doze off at the hotel lobby

 The stewardess who used to sleep in the Tokyo hotel lobby has passed away. Her name was Dorothy Wilson. Reason she did not check into her hotel room was because she was scared of ghost. She won't want to share room with the other stewardesses and so each time she was rostered for a Tokyo nightstop she would stay in the lobby. Anyway the crew arrived at the hotel around 9pm and would leave for the next day flight at about 7am.

Sunny Kam RIP

 Heard ex-cs Sunny Kam passed away a few months ago due to cancer. Nice man and I will always missed him. He at times visited my main blog and left comments under (SunnyGale).

Some pilots were yaya papaya

 Non cabin crew do not understand why cc has no love for the pilots. Some and not all plus I am talking about pilots during my time which was 30 to 40 years ago, are bad people. The old era pilots were (some only ok) greedy and bossy. In those days, the job of a pilot is like a king. CC did not really care nor kowtow  to them. Watch my YT videos and you will know what I am talking about.
