coconut rice!
you know, every week in the sunday times lifestyle section, on the very very last page, there's always this section where there's an interview of some bigshot and they'll ask him/her what's their favourites cuisine, what exotic crap they've eaten, and stuff right? and then there's always this little box with the interviewee(?) talking about the last meal he/she would have before dying. some say they want mum's whateverwhatever homecooked food, some say they want some super haoliao thing from some hardcore restaurant in france or something, some say they want fried ants from africa... yeah.what would be MY last meal? well, if i even had a say in it, i wouldn't be able to choose mum's homecooked food, because to put it mildly, my mum's cooking isn't very good. largely consists of heaping whatever's in the refridgerator at that moment into the microwave and ding! kenny's sad meal is ready. yeah, homecooked food is definitely out.
i'd choose NASI LEMAK. not just any ordinary nasi lemak you can buy anywhere (you know, the FAMOUS CHANGI VILLAGE NASI LEMAK packets that can be found in every provision store, snacks bar, bowling alley), but my special PUNGGOL nasilemak, or chongpang nasi lemak from sembawang/serangoon/idon'tknow. oooh i love nasi lemak, loved it since young because my parents love it too, i remember eating it for breakfast as often as i possibly could. and punggol/chongpang nasi lemak is especially nice, with wonderful chicken wings, delightfully crispy ikan bilis, fragrant rice and tasty chili. just the wonderful fragrance of coconut rice emanating from the PUNGGOL nasi lemak stall makes me drool man. the queues are very long though. one downside there.
okay, time to continue with my bio, seeya! i shouldn't even be online, i'm breaking my pact with lowell. ahh too late, old habits die hard.
ANYWAY, seeya!
