  Really? You don't find our food too oily?
  
  Sometimes I cook like laksa or mee rebus. However, son asked for something else (ang moh jiak lah, like pasta). Then, friends said "must teach him". Then, I'm thinking. But laksa and mee rebus healthy meh? Don't know how to eat also never mind, right?

  Can I introduce my husband instead? More likely he is the one making the trip. And he is more into Sg food.
  
  When he touched down in Sg last year, he headed straight to Newton after a clean up at home. Ordered five different dishes. And then for the whole first week, his morning breakfasts were 3-4 dishes at the market. But of course momentum has to die down lah. Otherwise, I may not recognize him.

  i disagree, fried stuff is not the staple food here.. and if u wanna compare, singapore's population have a higher % of people that are fatter compared to usa.
