Food is about the only thing at the moment that still gets my full attention. And it has to be the sinful sort. You know. Those that are particularly fatty, oily and unhealthy.
The man, despite his strict exercise regime, is fortunately still a food lover, sharing my sinful cravings or should I say, contributing to them. Almost every other night, he will be sending me an SMS if I want supper.
Lately, we’ve been craving for chwee kueh (水粿). Our favourite is the stall at Tiong Bahru but we discovered one at Chomp Chomp in Serangoon Gardens that also sells rather tasty chwee kueh. For some reasons however, the stall was closed for good recently. So the nearest that we can think of, without having to venture all the way to Tiong Bahru, is the food centre at Bedok. We’ve been at it for weeks, and finally yesterday, drove all the way there just to buy two packets to satisfy our cravings despite the rain.
It was hugely satisifying of course, especially because we didn’t have to share our chwee kueh with the boy who actually thought they look yucky.
I the the word F with two O O and end with a D, is a simple yet amazing things that always can help relief mental stress, at least for us.
lately we have been craving for a seafood too. Not crab or prawn but SQUID! We also been scouting around for nice BBQ Squid, and not sambal pls, bbq in oringinal with some garlic and sauce… or sashimi… we enjoy so much the Q Q, chewy & juicyness in the mouth!
Mmmm… Yummy! Zhan! Oyishi! Sedah! Nap!
But v high chlorestrol… I recalled there’s a time I ask the “zhi zha” uncle got squid or not, I was kana bombard, now adays where got ppl eat squid, high cholest leh! choose a few more dishes of veggie lar! ;p
wtpg: I love squid but I haven’t been eating BBQ squid. Now that you say…makes me want to eat.

We called this ‘woon jai gou’ (little bowl cakes) in KL.
I love it too.. but not easy to find these days.
ZM: Not widely available in KL these days? That’s a surprise. We can still get it here quite easily and they’re even sold in the supermarkets.
