the taste of your family


A&W reminds me of my family. note that. not home, but my family. :( i dont get homesick whenever i eat A&W, but i get familysick (is there such a word?) because i dont associate a&w with home. i associated it with the fondest memories i had with my family who just love eating a&w only if its at the old PJ place. other a&w branches just wont do.

my earliest memories of fast food restaurants would be playing at the playground in McD parade (yg lame dulu sebelum die renovate, best sial tempat tu); playing at KFC's playground, the one in subang before they tore it down and turn the area into a badminton court, and eating at A&W, drive-in style. note that, drive in eh, not drive through. drive in would be you parking your car at the drive-in spot, order from your car and eat in the car. HAHA. my parents used to love that concept because they're too lazy going into the restaurant, queue up and eat at the stiff stools of the old PJ A&W.

dari banyak2 fast food aku mentioned atas. A&W is by far the only fast food i remembered having a fond memory of makan makanan berminyak die. because the onion rings are to die for, and they sell the best root beer in town. hands down to that. i used to eat the plain hot dog, and as i grew up and acquired the taste for spicy food, i graduated to the classic coney dog. *owh man, just the mention of it can make me salivate.

last night had my dinner at A&W with ika and i told her how much i missed my family, and she goes "oh, no. are you homesick again? ape je yg tak make ko homesick". FARNIE IKA, REALLY FARNIE.

so whenever i feel like i want to be close to my family, even when we're 300 km apart. i go to a&w.
