Louis Jap, my sister and I harboured a secret as to why I got fat. My sister was in Mukah teaching, and befriended this family. The Dad was the care taker of this temple , ( I don't know if it was Mr. Tan Teck Chiang, must be his predessessor.)
I was 16, one holidays, his daughter and my sister came back to Sibu. Guess what we ate when we visited him in the temple. Plenty of Roast ducks, pork and chicken. There was so much roast meat galore. He said some people come to worship and leave the meat behind.

He said some people come to worship and leave the meat behind.
So why go to waste? It did not go waste on me. Since than I became fat.

My favourite rich fatty roast leg of pork. Can't really blame that leftover temple food. I ate when I was 16 to make me fat.
This is a roast leg of pork.
