Recently, the weather has been horrible. It rains when I need to get out of bed to go to work, then proceeds to burn me with it’s love when I need to get home.
I am beginning to believe that the weather now follows the lyrics of Katy Perry’s song: You are hot when you’re cold, You are yes when you’re no.
You know I am sick, when I start quoting Katy Perry to describe the weather.
I have been coughing non-stop for 2 weeks, and been suffering from indecisive fever. I miss the sleep, I miss the food.
Above all, I miss all the ice cream that I am now not allowed to have because it triggers my cough.
My cough hates me.
My cough likes to eat congee and soupy stuff, drink hot tea and warm water. Things that I sometimes eat and drink to….y’know…be healthier.
This long battle with cough also made me realize that…I live to eat. I now look at my meals with disdain, and with each bite, I pray that the cough would be gone. So I can down that ice cube laden drink to calm the fire that has been ignited with the amount of hot food and drinks I’ve been drowning in the past weeks. (note: I know that this is a run on sentence, but I think that it is needed to justify the amount of desperation in me)
I’ve tried to live vicariously through the food photos that I’ve taken in the past, but I realize that it does nothing but to crave for food more.
Oh, I am not allowed to eat chicken, because it seems to induce phlegm, and I don’t fancy the feeling of being chocked to death by phlegm when I am sleeping.
Many weeks ago, I stuffed my face with food.
- BAKCHORMEE
Bak Chor Mee. Laden with all the meats. Laced with Chilli.
Apparently the trick with all these famous BCM store is to…go at odd timings. No one goes at 4p.m to have dinner. Because it’s too early to have dinner, too late for lunch, too filling to have as tea break.
So I can sit down and have the luxury of having a bowl without a queue.
The Meepok so springy. I like. I want to eat BCM.
I realize that I make a lousy food critic. I have a lack of vocabulary when it comes to describing food. But it’s good! Looking at the picture makes me drool.
*note: I just swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
BCM from Upper thomson, next to Udders.
2. Thai Food
Coconut milk and chicken boiled together as a savory soup. As you can tell, it was good, BUT I WAS VERY CONFUSED. Because it tastes like…bobochacha but savory and with chicken.
I am very easily confused. But I eat food that’s good.
Grilled pork neck is good too! I know the plating looks bad. But who cares because I am there to eat the food and not to eat the plating.
We inhaled a plate of kangkong too. This was post BCM, so it’s enough to tell that the food is damn good, because I will never bother to stuff my face when I am already semi-full.
Let me give you a hint: this is in sunshine plaza, and it’s next to Merely ice-cream place.
Why is this piece of information important?
it brings me to the third food place.
3. Merely Ice-Cream
I love ice cream. I planned my food route so that I can end up somewhere near a good ice cream place so that I can legitly go “Oh! There’s an ice-cream place nearby! Let’s go get some dessert to wash the dinner down!”
Except that it isn’t coincidental. I planned it. HAHAHAHAHA.
Merely is always very very generous with their ice cream scoops. The two gigantic scoops were mine.
I don’t share ice cream. Blasphemy. Get yours.
Merely is at Sunshine Plaza, please leave me some ice cream thanks.
