Oh, Rhonda.........I am drooling all over. I'm drowning......*help* *help*......Originally posted by Rhonda:Luckily for us here, no one cooks mee pok tah at home!
We just hop over to our favourite stall and pay $2 for a bowl. Or, if it's at the food court or Gluttons' Bay, then $3.50.
So convenient, hor?
Yeah, so convenient. Boy, I really do miss some food in Sg.

Don't worry. I bet you will turn out to be a first class cook. By then, I will be looking forward for you to post pix.Originally posted by Rhonda:We are sooo spoilt for choice AND convenience here! And cooked food here is still generally cheap too!
Siiigh... when I migrate, this is one thing I shall miss sorely!
When I first landed.......very kayu. Don't know how to cook. But after some struggles and challenges, also can cook and can DIY liao. Last time, very siong ah. -
cooking is simple
finding someone to force to eat what you've cooked is another thing
but then, always go for the foolproof recipes -

what they need is a few years of practise
i remember going to melbourne and the natives there was telling me about the nice pizza with the hot salami...
they were red when they ate that stuff.. i was chewing on it and asking "so, where's the hot salami you're talking about" and they pointed out that i was chewing on some
after a couple of months of training, my roommates were going around tricking people by offering salsa with corn chips.. they'd eat some and offer them... only thing, the salsa was spiked with chillis
we had lots of funOriginally posted by littlestream:Ehhh........wah, Rhonda........*applause* .......at this hour still can come up with creative name eh? Nice nick. I like it. Maybe keep for myself.

It's a pretty 'common' term if you read food mags! Fusion cooking has been around for years now - it just means that you take a bit of influence from both the East and the West and voila, they call it 'Fusion Cooking'! -
Quite a few local dishes can be pretty tough to prepare because of the preparations required, as well as the long list of ingredients.
For such dishes, I'm just so thankful that there are foodstalls selling them at good prices!
I'm talking about food like satay, lontong, indian rojak, fish head curry, etc.
Lontong can be bought for $2 or, if you're eating at the food courts, $3.50. Imagine cooking lontong yourself! So much work!
