wah....tats expensiveOriginally posted by Rhonda:Nope... made a mistake... A$2.50 a piece... because I paid A$10 for only 4 slices!

) -
last time when i go NZ...Originally posted by Rhonda:Char Siew Bao can get here very easily... why bother?
Now, good bar zhang I haven't seen. I don't trust the Vietnamese ones.
Better not mess with the customs here. You can incur quite hefty fines, and you might appear as a 'special guest star' in their program, "Border Security"!
at that time, chinese food isn't as easily bought in shops. Unlike australia now, can get a lot of things... -
I love love love the Bak Gwa coins.
Think I'll arrive in Singapore early in the morning. I'll take a cab home, follow my parents for breakfast, then when they drive off to work, I'll go to Holland V and recce my old haunt and buy Singapore mags and eat a 2nd breakfast.
Sssshhh... don't tell my parents!
And then, I'll go to the Bak Gwa shop and buy 1/2kg of Bak Gwa coins and hide from my parents because they'll nag at me not to eat so much! -
I can do that at homeOriginally posted by Rhonda:If only I had photoshop...
I want to design a Club 30 banner with elindra's gulper and my tassie devil (because they love food) and use the tagline, "Feed me, can?"
The Gulper is so cute I wanna squeeze it but I won't
Because it has spines that can sting me and that will hurt like hell -
I love the gold coins too! Soo tender... hmm.... Which Sg mags are you getting? Don't forget to whack some nasi lemak hor?Originally posted by Rhonda:I love love love the Bak Gwa coins.

Can can!! I must remember not to say "Whooooaaaaaaahhhh!!!" because the last time I returned home, mom said I sounded like some country bumpkin, everywhere we went, I was soooo happy I kept saying, "Waaaah!!"Originally posted by zoragirl:wah....tats expensive

She said, "Like never eat before like that!"
"Yah mah!! More than a year never eat wor!"
But really quite embarrassing because I kept having to explain to the storeholders / cashiers that I had just returned from overseas because they look at me real funny. -
all this bak kua talking making me hungry...........
50 minutes more to lunch -
I like to buy Food & Travel and Asian Geographic (besides National Geographic)
I think I'm very 'un-Chinese' in the sense that I dun like to eat bak gwa and lap cheong and eewww to Taiwanese sausage -
What's for lunch?Originally posted by av98m:all this bak kua talking making me hungry...........

My 2nd breakfast shall be either Nasi Lemak or the Bee Hoon with tons of assorted stuff from that famous Holland V nasi lemak stall.Originally posted by jetta:I love the gold coins too! Soo tender... hmm.... Which Sg mags are you getting? Don't forget to whack some nasi lemak hor? And... "Auntie, give me lots of sambal chilli, ok?" Usually praise them by saying, "I think of your nasi lemak a lot when I'm overseas! Come back only, first thing is come to your shop!" and then I'll get one HUUUGE dollop of sambal chilli!! -
haven't decided.Originally posted by jetta:What's for lunch? -
You can take the laksa and nasi lemak there...Originally posted by Rhonda:I love love love the Bak Gwa coins.

Not just that... I think if you squeeze it, you'll end up with a handfull of very tender (and also extremely expensive) fishballs!!!Originally posted by elindra:I can do that at home
The Gulper is so cute I wanna squeeze it but I won't
Because it has spines that can sting me and that will hurt like hell 
The more you squeeze, the softer the fishballs! -
I can't stand lap cheong either. Or any kind of Chinese lap cheongOriginally posted by elindra:I like to buy Food & Travel and Asian Geographic (besides National Geographic)

With all this talk of nasi lemak....
.... I suddenly feel like going to Fong Seng later. -
Jetta, I've searched thru some postings and even tried to check on my sister's blogspot.
but i cant find that singapore style bak kwa website and i cant remember its name.
will have to email my sister and asked her for the contact again. -
Quick bak kwa recipe : Slice at least two pieces of bak kwa into strips. Heat oil in wok. Throw in minced garlic and sliced onions to fry. Throw in bak kwa to stir fry quickly. Throw in a handful of vegetables like kai lan or chai sim. Toss. Remove and serve hot with rice. Niiiiiice!!Originally posted by av98m:all this bak kua talking making me hungry...........

When you come back you must drop over to look at the fishOriginally posted by Rhonda:Not just that... I think if you squeeze it, you'll end up with a handfull of very tender (and also extremely expensive) fishballs!!! The more you squeeze, the softer the fishballs!
It's extremely cute (MPB says it's damn ugly)

You're like me. That's why when ah Bear said 10% off pineapple tarts, my heart skipped a beat.Originally posted by elindra:OMG once I eat pineapple tarts I can't stop I called my Mum to ask if she wanted to get some but she's already put in an order with her friend. She's bringing 200 over for me. Yippee!!!! She's coming over here first week of March, heading to my sister's place. Sis is expecting her third kid. So Mum is tompanging lots of stuff for me.
