Sweet sorrow
Ever noticed that condensed milk is missing from Malaysian supermarket shelves? Here's why according to this article. Luckily Singapore still got. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1147184/all Condensed milk: Canned for good 2009/08/30 SONIA RAMACHANDRAN and CHAI MEI LING You have added taste to the tea, coffee and chocolate drinks of many a Malaysian. A tasty spread upon their bread you have also been. For many children in the 70s, you were a delicious snack when they squeezed you directly into their mouths. But all good things in life must come to an end, write SONIA RAMACHANDRAN and CHAI MEI LING IT is time we say goodbye to an old friend from yesteryears, the good old full-cream sweetened condensed milk. There was a time when never a day would pass without seeing advertisements in the newspapers or television where condensed milk was spread on bread, added to drinks or drunk as a milk drink by itself. Today, the full-cream sweetened condensed milk is missing from su...
Durian layer cake
Light taste and smell, so probably okay for durian 'lightweights'! Moist and not too sweet.
Top eats in SGP (so far)
Been eating at a lot of food courts and hawker centres, but often disappointed. Found some gems though...
Warung M. Nasir on Killiney Road for Padang food - love the rice (kinda sticky) and the dishes are really authentic-tasting, Johorean-like food. Really sedap. Like home cooking. For me, the best Malay food resto in Singapore so far. The portions are balanced i.e. not too much rice, the juices are not too sweet and the sweets are yumm.
Muslim food stall @ Hopspot on Killiney for nice roticanai with good dhal curry. The best roticanai/paratha I've had here so far. Mee goreng not so good.
But it doesn't beat my #1 Roticanai place of all time: Raju's in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Thick, fluffy and not oily. Raju... me love you long time!
C'est la vie
A month since my last post.
We are 90% unpacked - just need a bookcase, shoe rack, dish rack and a couple of foldable mattresses... and we're good to go!
Our first guests will be my family - they are coming for Hari Raya. Will be a nice change...
Otherwise, life in Singapore has its good and bad. I like the freedom and independence. I like having cooked lunches. I like dressing up for work and wearing clothes that have been in storage for ages. I like that most things are in English (a relief after years of only Portuguese/Arabic/French). I like that we can get almost everything here.
BUT I find it TIRING. Struggling with the long commute and still adjusting to office life... who would've thought that socialising and listening to gossip would be so draining??? In my former life, I would have finished work, gone to the gym, showered and started dinner by 7pm. Now I get home to an empty and messy apartment, sweating and cranky... and barely having the energy to put i...
