Popular Local Favorites That You Don't Like To Eat
-
Just curious if there is any local favorite that you guys don't like to eat.
For me, I don't like to eat the humble curry puff because it's messy and greasy and it just don't appeal to my palate. Don't get me wrong. I love curries but I don't like it as a stuffing in a fried pastry.
Actually I don't like any fried pastry...You know those Han Chi Peng, Butterfly fritters whatever....everytime I eat those I feel like throwing up because of the oil. -
I don't like cockles. They just look very toxic to me.
Everytime I see cockles, I think, 'EEeeeee!! Hepatitis!!!' 
Not sure if you can call them a 'local favourite' though, cause it seems that it's mainly the older generation who likes it. Bear is the only person I know who is from my generation who likes it, and I do not know anyone from the generations after mine who does. -
Chou dou fu.

I don't like Hokkien mee, cha kway tiao, mee tai mak.
I have eaten mee tai mak noly once when I was a kid and have not touched it since, yet the ickiness of it still remains clear in my memory. -
I don't like cockles too...They are really disgusting to look at and the smell....

Chilli
Laksa
Curry
Yu Pian Mee Fen ( hate the big bee hoon) -
Oh! I really really don't like the Pig Organs Soup, y'know, the one with pig intestines, and whatever offal inside?
I can't even stand the smell! -
I like the fried pastry but not if they've been fried in oil that's been reused sooooo many times (yucks!) or if they've been sitting in oil too long and become soggy (eeeew!).Originally posted by elindra:Just curious if there is any local favorite that you guys don't like to eat.

I like it if they're freshly fried and not too oily. It's amazing the amount of oil you can blot out from these fried confectionary with wads and wads of kitchen towels! -
actually, most of the stuff i prefer to eat in malaysia, rather than in sg
like roti prata, nasi lemak, char kway tiow, pig organs soup, mei cai kou rou,
however, there is one dish i like to eat here which is laksa
by right, laksa gravy dont have coconut milk in them, but not so lately, hawkers started to add coconut milk, which makes the laksa tastier, albeit more sinful.... -

It's not a rumour, it's the truth. Small white worms.Originally posted by dragg:my foot!!

I think those worms aren't easy to get nowadays, that's why most hawkers don't use those worms in their laksa anymore. -
Its Benzois-degrasso Worm, imported from France, where they really eat everything...Originally posted by Rhonda:It's not a rumour, it's the truth. Small white worms.

Mind you, during the Franco-Prussian War, when Paris was under siege, the hungry Parisian turned towards the zoo for food
Elephants and antelopes were really cut up and given to the hungry masses... -
