I've always hated choke (congee)

No matter how tasty it is

It reminded me of the torment

as a wheezy asthmatic kid

Choke for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Even till today

almost 47

the very thought of choke

makes me sick.

I lived in HK for almost 7 years

During one of my home visits,

Dad said he will treat me

for lunch.

I was sitting in school bus

Where are we going Dad?

Aiya you shut up lah

Dad will take you

to this special place

Confirm you will like one

We went to Joo Chiat

and had chicken choke

I hated every spoonful

it was nice

I admit,

but I hated it

no less.

I came home,

Mum asked,

Where did Dad

take you?

To Joo Chiat lor

Eat choke har

Ya lor

But you don't like choke what.

Mum remembered.

Dad I truly appreciate

your effort

I am Dad now

Dads are
