いただきます!

So we will be back in Singapore in a month's time! Finally! It's been a long 11-month period since we bidded farewell to our friends and family at the airport. Well, even though it may sound long, but sometimes when I think back about it, I guess time really can fly. I always say that. Haha. Time has WINGS! Everything seemed to flash past quite quickly and we have already celebrated our first year of wedded life as hubby and wifey.

Anyway, I wanted to think of the few food items that I crave so badly and swear that I will gobble all of them not once, not twice, but as many times as I can when I step back onto the beloved island. Hehe. I wonder how many of them coincide with jw's, should be quite alot bahz! Hopefully he will bring me around and satisfy all my food cravings. Wahaha. =) Luckily they are all cheap and easily bought food though. So, here goes the list.

1) Kentucky Fried Chicken!

Yeah, you may be the memorable place where we lost all our belongings in Barcelona, but you remain as my No. 1 favourite fast food chain. I wanna eat hot, juicy, crispy chicken thighs and drumsticks! Woohoo! Along with all the fats! Hee.

2) Hainanese Chicken Rice

Though we always try to cook this dish at home in Sweden, we can never get the true real taste of the authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice back in Singapore, especially the gravy!!~ So, it's a must-eat too!!

3) Rojak

Rojak has never been one of my favourite favourite food back in Singapore, but somehow I miss it after all this while. Keke. It will be nice to tuck into some yummy, but clean and hygienic, indian rojak in July!

4) Prawn Noodle Soup

Yeah I am thinking about the Big Prawn Noodle store that jw used to bring me, mummy and popo to. Where they had nice wu xiang also. *drools* I wanna eat the pork ribs and big prawn noodle soup along with some chilli powder and nice lime juice!

5) Kuehs and more kuehs

Mummy always use to buy kuehs for me for breakfast or snacks last time. I miss kuehs! All the different kinds of kueh. Like xiang jiao gao and bai tang gao. Oh, I guess this is something jw won't miss, he was never that much into kuehs. Hehe.

6) Boon Lay Nasi Lemak

This was one of our favourites when we were in NTU. The super power nasi lemak that always had super duper long queues. I miss the yummy crispy chicken wings, otah, fragrant rice and even the chilli sauce! wahaha.

7) Orh Lua

I always eat this without eating the orh, and I still find it super yummy. Hee. Market 85 and East Coast Food Centre both have yummy orh luas that I like. And alot of other places too lar. Hee. I wanna eat the starchy starchy egg!!

8) Katong Laksa

How can I give this a miss... I love it soooo much!! I can eat two bowls of it at once because it's so yummy! Love the noodles and the soup. Just thinking bout it makes me drool. Hee. I will make sure I eat this when I get back. The real authentic Katong Laksa, not the imitation ones!

9) Roti Prata

I also keep telling jw that I wanna eat prata when we go back. Hee. Not just any kind of prata, but the super crispy go-song kind that he brings me to eat with his parents. I forgot where. Wahaha. But I like pratas! I wanna eat not only a few go-song, but prata with egg, plasters, tissue prata and drink milo peng and kambing soup all together!

10) Bah Chor Mee

Last but not least, one of our favourite supper places, Bedok Market 85! Right beside our secondary school. Hehe. The bah chor mee is a classic, so I really wanna eat it too! Oh and not only bah chor mee, but also BBQ chicken wings, satay, porridge, sting ray (which I can't eat now boohoo) are all our usual tuck in dishes!~ Jw loves to eat the bah chor mee here too. Hehe. So I'm pretty sure we will go there. Keke.

Well, that's it! The ten dishes that I wanna gobble down when I get back. It's not an exhaustive list, I can still write down more. Waha. But well, you get the idea. =) These are the first few I thought of. Hehe. Cheap, yummy, finger-licking, authentic Singaporean food, here we come soon!
