NOT a food blog
Have you ever experienced snippets in time when the Federal Highway in your life feels like an Autobahn? When you want 80km/h, but life deals you 200? When you pace yourself at work to meet your deadlines, and all at once, everybody wants things “today”? When you trudge along in friendship, but the other party deals you a Go Straight To Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200 card? When you tell yourself that you’ll mail those Chinese New Year cards out tomorrow, only to find that tomorrow’s Chinese New Year?
Tomorrow’s Chinese New Year, and I have yet to mail those darned cards.
Yes, I need simplicity.
A bowl of curry mee, oozing with the richness of coconut milk in a thick red curry, silky smooth steamed chicken soaking in the spicy broth, and barely cooked cockles…..those wonderful juicy cockles.
I feel better now.

Open for dinner till the wee hours of the morning.
Also check out She, The Epicurious Girl‘s review.
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! (sorry I didn’t send out those cards)
Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Happy Chinese New Year,
may the year of the rats bring lotsa food to your happy tongue (and in front of your camera),
so that you will sing until you burst your lung
(and make us drool-ra-ra!).

Have you tried the wonderful kari mee in the Chinatown wet market before?
It spells magic.
Have you met a person so interestingly sweet that makes a drink called Pussy Galore tastes like tap water?
I had yesterday night…
Have you blogged from a cyber cafe before?
I am now… :>

Cockles! Kerang! See Ham!
The mostest grossest stuff known to mankind. Or Kenny-kind at least. Ugh.
(And I know I swore I wouldn’t leave a comment like this here, cos you adore the gross-some stuff, but someone has to be the voice of sanity, dear.)
Oh, by the way: Selamat Tahun Tikus! Arentcha supposed to angpow me? Dah kahwin what…

vkeong: Yeah, I tambah cockles. 😀 Pig’s blood…I didn’t ask leh. I don’t think I’ve seen it though. They have other stuff like pork balls, etc…
