12 january 2017 was an exceptionally hot day. normally on days like this, i would never even contemplate leaving the office, even if it means i have to eat instant noodles, packed lunches (or more recently, just get it delivered). however on this day, which reached a peak of 35 degrees with a real feel of 39 degrees, i ventured to the other side of the city, because my beloved charboys was reopening. long term readers of mine will recall that i did a review of them when they were situated in west end, at the boundary street markets. they closed not long after my review when the markets were shut down last year and it broke my heart. so when i heard that they were reopening outside of taros express after a long hiatus, i dropped everything, disregarded the sweltering heat and went out at once.
