Fatter I grow, Hungrier I get
Was eating 'sanlao he' at Hong Kong Street Restaurant yesterday when it suddenly struck me that I would be missing out on lots of good food when I go over to Sydney! Speaking of which, someone I met on gunbound told me that things would be 'boring', because 'everything is so expensive!'. Oh well, I guess I'll indulge myself as much as I can while I am surrounded by all the yummy, juicy, tender, delicious and orificial pleasing feast!
I grow up in a cosy little home in the heartland of Lorong Lew Lian, where most of the basic needs are met by 2 stretches of shop houses and hawker centres. The hawker centres offer amazingly tasty food for an unbelievable price of (mostly) $2 each, in this day and time! I say this because the list of treats that follow this would see many of the items being featured from here.
Besides that, I've got to say the food I would miss most would be my mum's, which I must say, I often take for granted, cos it's all there and I just need to open my mouth when I'm hungry and close the gap whenever I'm full from eating outside food. Yea I know... sounds really bad... but hey! I grew up eating the food she cook, and I've come to love and appreciate the food that she can come up with... So creative sometimes! Ahhhhh....
Oh well, thinking of these make me go gooo gaaaaa all over... luckily I've already had dinner..
