NOT a food blog
Darling SC,
Thanks for making me salivate yesterday morning with your tantalizing picture and alluring write-up of Tong Kee egg tarts. This post is dedicated to you. Mmuah mmuah!
Hugs and kisses,
Lyrical Lemongrass.
Boo_licious felt that I was resembling a starving cow from skipping dinner due to the late hours I was spending at the office, so she bought me a boxful of these precious babies today. The egg tart at Tong Kee has a nice flaky crust and smooth egg custard filling that isn’t overly sweet. Then again, maybe my tolerance for sugar has gone up!
The dazzling beauties were begging to be photographed. I couldn’t say no.
I now have an empty box as testament to the fact that the egg tarts were greatly appreciated. Thanks, girl!

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.
