      Wah sounds like fine dining in the car.. šŸ˜„ It's nice to hear all the special experience of those times. Did you have the root beer in the car too?

      Not just the root beer, the float as well. :love:
      But usually the parents will hold the glass while we drink thru the straw.

      yeah, remember the glass is frosted like beer glass? :lol:[/quote]Oh yes...don't need any ice at all, and the root beer is still icy cold. Get your money's worth with a full glass of root beer. Not like the fast food chain nowadays, filling up the cup 3/4 full of ice before adding coke. :x

          Oh yes, I'm old enough to remember that A&W restaurant.


          Dad used to drive us there and park outside the restaurant.
          The waitress will come over to take our order, then she will bring the food over on a tray which will be propped on the car door (with the window rolled down). We will then have the food in the car.
          if u wanna to re-live those good old days, u shd go to the Sloane Court @ balmoral Rd...place looks like it has never changed for at least 1/2 a decade!!

            Problem is we have no space to keep too many such low-rise buildings...every space either clear for high rise or highways or flyovers..

                Hey yeah! The old style Hainanese steak house![/quote]It's still there after all these years? Another throwback for the Hainanese Steak House is Shashilik...walk through the door and it's as if you've stepped into a scene of Back to the Future!

                DH and I went there last September to re-live our pak toh days...so deja vu! :love:

                      Heh, I missed this thread :stupid: AND the root beer.
                      The coney dog was very good too!
                      I think at a special price of $1 on Tuesday?
                      My..my... the ice cold root beer served there then
                      Still :drool: when I think of it.
                      The bottled A&W root beer nowadays cannot compare
                      by a long shot!

                        Oh it's $1? I cut it by half for my brother... :lol: He was the one paying for a long time so I thought it was $0.50, $1 should be correct if you say so. So Tuesday is correct. Yes canned root beer...cannot compare at all!!
