No, that’s not a new UPN show. It\u2019s some of the traditional Singaporean food that I got reaquainted with. I met up with Dimsumdolly<\/a> this evening. She and her red shoes (cuz that\u2019s how I found her at the MRT station where we met up) took me around to some neat places.

We wound up in East Coast (apparently a tradition since my last trip out here) and wound up at some food stalls that claimed to have the \u201cBest Laksa\u201d. And they did, depending on the newspaper\/website\/TV show that was quoted. And after she ordered and we started eating, I realized I\u2019ve never written about these. So heeere we go….<\/p>\n\n\n

Mmmmmm laksa! Coconut milky chilli goodness!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n



The dish in the middle of the two bowls is Rojak, a interesting dish with a cool manly sounding name. Sounds Klingon, actually. \u201cI am Rojak, son of Baggh\u201d. OK, no more Star Trek references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Salad”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rojak is a sort of salad, but according to DSD, its not healthy like a traditional salad. I believe that! It feels more like the main course of a meal then just a \u201csalad\u201d. The bowls flanking the rojak is Laksa, a rice noodle (yum) and prawn soup. The soup has coconut milk and chili paste and other spices in it along with seafood. RICH STUFF. This alone is a meal! Yum yum yum.

After that meal and a few beverages (which I kanna remember exactly what), we wound up farting around East Coast. We passed by Charlie\u2019s (from dinner with the lovely Sara-Ann back in May) and picked up some \u201cauthentic Hong Kong dim-sum\u201d in the form of chau siu bau for DSD who was fighting a bug. And not winning. We wandered through the Malay Village but that wasn\u2019t too much fun because everything there was closed. Instead, we wound up at the Fullerton<\/a> for dessert. Better choice. We both ordered a dessert set (coffee, dessert) for S$15 each. Wasn\u2019t bad, considering the price of alcohol (more than the dessert set). DSD had tiramisu and I had a creme brulee with coconut ice cream and shards of coconut on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the tiramisu looks better. They both were great! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wound up chatting about all sorts of stuff before we and the MRT began turning into pumpkins (translation: it got late). Fun evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
