FITS AND STARTS

Food glorious food

During the Xmas break I was talking about this chili pan mee that my friend told me about. And I found a review on it here! I was drooling over the pics and thinking about how I would probably like to have two bowls. It looks soooooo gooooood. That's gonna be my new mission for summer. I have already dropped the kuey teow soup aka pork mee on Jalan Imbi mission cos after MF said that kuey teow soup does not have meatballs and lap cheong I felt very foolish and now I must go and clarify my facts first. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. I had been talking about it for ages, then suddenly MF said what she said and I was stunned. Like oh. I never thought about it that way. And err. How come I didn't know that? It's weird cos I've eaten it before and it makes me wonder if I wasn't sure what I was shovelling into my mouth. Ugh. That, my friends, is a sign of pure gluttony.

As I was daydreaming over EU Law today I started thinking about why I feel really miserable in London sometimes. And I came to the conclusion that it's primarily because I DO NOT HAVE GOOD FOOD TO EAT (haha, I bet you thought I was gonna blame it on the weather). Screw the weather la, I stay at home most of the time anyway cos Andrea and I are busy trying to unlock all the Advanced Level circuits on Mario & Sonic Olympics for Wii.

Guaranteed a high-level indoor workout, muscle pain included

Food is like the key to my heart, stomach, mind and soul. Once I start thinking about food all my defences melt away and I am a helpless pile of slush. When I'm bored I like to look up food blogs, and pictures of steaming hot bak kut teh, sang har mee, dim sum, pork mee, etc makes me really happy. And then my stomach will growl so I'll open my fridge, expecting to see bak kut teh, sang har mee, dim sum, pork mee, etc but then I blink again and crap why are there only raw veggies and fruits in front of me. Wahhhh the feeling... it's like getting stabbed 7249 times in the bowels. My flatmates and I don't share mealtimes, plus we have VERY different dietary needs - so I usually only cook when I'm at Eugene's place. But then again my cooking skills are quite limited so I can't make bak kut teh from scratch. Arggghhhh bak kut teh. I love it too much!!!!

My current playlist is the soundtrack from Les Choristes. French sounds fantastic. They're singing things that sound like "je pa tu tu" and "epi fini d'ete" and when you try saying stuff like that your tongue gets alot of satisfaction. Sometimes I hear my French classmates speak French and it sounds so fun that I just wanna open my mouth and have all these French words flow out of me too. But I can't, so maybe one day when I am super free and have no impending assignments I will take up... the cello! Hehhehe. Okay got work, bye bye for now.

  • I am trying to learn French too. Just to impress the in-laws. Huhuhu.

    I just learned how to make kon loh mein btw. Maybe I should try making pan mee. With lots of green chili, like the Petaling St one. (or was it New Grand View? Eh cannot remember.)

  • I wanna learn French too!

    You are so right about the tongue satisfaction thing, not to mention that it sounds about the most distinctly foreign language ever which everyone seems to know that it's French without having to understand a word...
