  where they have pumpkin paste in it too.. and also, the dreaded rendered LARD which shallots is fried in and poured then stirred into the paste
  
  it's sickly sweet and oh-so-sinfully wonderful

  You're so right, sinful is the word! Try making it and you'll realise how much oil/lard and sugar are needed to create that taste. Then again, KFC fried chicken is sinful too, so is Magnum ice-cream....*sigh*...so we all choose our own weaknesses to surrender to.

  no.. i wish i can find it again.. just thinking back to a now-defunct teochew restaurant that once served that stuff...
  
  still remember my uncle ate 8 bowls of the stuff and promptly felt ill
  
  actually, the no-lard version, i can ask folks where to get.. but they only make when there is an order for about 50 packets... each pack is about the size of those plastic containers you get at the hawker centres for porridge..

  At those old-fashioned Teochew restaurant - there's one at ground floor of Keypoint which my parents like. The Orh nee really contains pumpkin.

  I know of reputable Teochew restaurants but not sure if the or nee is really TRADITIONAL or not. It comes with pumpkin and some ginko nuts though. Just wondering if there's something I missed out? But heck if it tastes good I should be content, right?

  they deliver the whole order to one place..
  
  and there is no coconut milk stuff... each box is vacuum packed and you can sling it in the fridge where it'll keep for ages

  People who dislike cockles - does it mean you also dislike oysters, clams and mussels, since they are from the same shellfish family and have very similar texture? I like cockles in laksa and fried kweh teow. Without cockles, I won't bother to eat the laksa.
  
  ps: what about abalone? it's also a shellfish.

  Cockles are the only shellfish I don't take!
  See oysters, clams and mussels do not have that awful smell of stale blood like cockles do.
  
  It's not the texture. It is the smell and the taste

  hmm... must have been bad cockles you had
  
  i love that taste..
  
  damn.. i'm hungry again

  All cockles smells like stale blood to me. The color also looks like blood that is drying up

  If I wanted something bloody
  Gimme a good rare ribeye steak
  Best if it is USA Wagyu beef
  Too bad the ban on USA beef is still on
  
  Painkillers do make you hungry but I you're ALWAYS hungry, with or without painkillers!!!!

  Hey, foga! I frequently go to that desserts stall there to get my favourite desserts too! In fact, I know the auntie there pretty well and if I go before the crowd comes in, she'll always stop to chit-chat with me.
  
  Her hot and cold desserts are all very nice! The portions are very generous and the price is still very reasonable.
