Eating spree

For the last three weeks since my sis-in-law is home on her vacation, we have been thinking of what sort of food she may have most missed & would like to help her satisfy that craving. Personally, as a good food lover, I can really sense how she feels, after not having eaten the things which she most hope to eat but are not available or are available but not authentic.

We really have too many local dishes here & is quite a task to finish every one of them in a short period of three weeks; and not to mention if we have to actually go for the authentic ones. I know there are at least two items in her wish list. Wanton noodle with chilli mixed not comprising any sambal. If anyone has tried the wanton noodle prepared by the old uncle from the coffee shop store along Lorong 39 in Geylang (in the 70s)will understand what I mean. Another item is the Vegetarian beehoon sold at a store in the Pek Kio Food Market. The beehoon was done in the right flavour & not dark in colour. The store owner did not add any corn & green peas in her beehoon. Her chilli is the best. It blended very well with the flavour of her beehoon when eaten with the vegetarian side items all mixed together.

Tomorrow night, she will be flying off. I know, surely we have not fully satify that craving in her but I am quite sure, it has somehow toned down the urge.
