SG food feast

What do FOBS like us, me and my Singaporean friends do when we crave for home food that don't exist in this part of the world?

We make them. No, wait, let me correct that. I made them and invited them over to feast.

That's right. I pretty much slave over my stove for a few hours, whipping up the home delicacies that we crave so much. Even though it caused my back to break during the process, I'd say it was worth it.

That is how much we missed it. Funny thing is, these food are easily attained in Singapore as they are classified as hawker food. Not only that, they are super uber cheap, like you get spare change from a $5 note. Uh-huh.

I tend to be very ambitious when it comes to being a domestic goddess when I'm heavily pregnant. I have this mind frame that I can conquer the kitchen and housework without flinching a sweat but in reality, I was waddling through it all and cursing under my breath.

That's because I forget, how big my belly is now and makes everything twice as hard. Everything starts to hurt after 30 weeks. I sort of forget that bit of the pregnancy.

Oh well, my cravings have mighty powers I tell you. It can make me climb a mountain if I have to and probably cursing and swearing while at it. Bloody hormones.

All time favourite local dish - steamed rice cakes with garlic,salted turnip toppings - usually eaten with a dollop of side chilli

Happy campers

Everything of goodness on a plate

Girlfriend brought a local favourite dessert - Durian ice cream stick! Durian is a popular fruit in Asia although the rest of the world would gladly turn their nose away from this. As hubby puts it, stinky fruit. 

Miss Three was so excited when she saw us eating ice cream and asked for one.  I gave it to her, she gave it a good lick, scrunched her face in confusion, took a whiff and quickly gave it back to me and said 'YUCK!'

So much for being a half-Asian kid! There is not an ounce of Asian blood/genes in this girl, as I said to hubby all the time, she is 90% him and 10% me and 10% is being rather generous to be honest! Haha
