Food...Glorious Food....

Received my pay from tuition on Sunday. Comes in really handy to make up for the shortfall this CNY season. Isn't CNY a blessing for singles like me? Not really, since the new year also heralds adventures of the gastronomical kind - goodies-sampling, bak kwa-bingeing, buffet-hopping and everything else to satiate the greed for delectable food, and at astonishing speed/frequency too. If there's a contest for muruku-eating, I'll probably win hands-down, having downed the packet from Thila last Friday at breakneck speed...

Though memories of the eat-till-you-puke buffet at Sakura Restaurant (at Omni-Theatre, great selection of Jap food, ice-cream & abalone!) still linger, my tastebuds were itching again, which bought mum & me to 'Ding Tai Feng". It is really the best place for la mian - the noodles remains springy even after swimming around in the soup for ages! But the ultimate is the broth . Both the pork- and beef-based broth I ordered are heavenly, albeit in different paradise. One has the heady rich taste of beef enhanced by chilli oil while the other has the sweet taste of meat freshly sacrificed for my palate. Not to mention the xiao long bao oozing its fragrant soup... It really is the best of its kind, leaving others like Malan la mian trailing in its wake...

Hopefully we will visit it again at Junction 8 after the Mac X-country this Friday... though I think Thila doesn't quite like Chinese food... Nevermind, sweet secrets is sweet to my tastebuds too! I'm a gourmet of international cuisine from Singaporean to Sri Lankan... It's time to unleash the glutton in me again...
