In NYC again--

-Nectarine
-Bran cereal with cinnamon
-Orange
-Hit cookies
-Street hot dog with mustard/ketchup, sauerkraut, and onions
-Red grapes
-Butter snap pretzels
-Omelette with provolone, onions and green peppers
-Refried beans
-Whole wheat bread (but not toast; forgot about toasting it)
-Copious amounts of lemon in my water

- Lunch: Leftover fettuchini alfredo with Chicken and a Lion Bar

- Dinner: Turkey melt with cracked pepper turkey and havarti cheese and some Utz Hot Sauce potato chips. Simple and quick while I did homework

Then my work here is done! :D

I don't think any of those meals was over £2:50 ie $S5.

Can't wait for the next trip in January.

Singapore is a cheap foodie heaven for sure. I'm very sad I haven't been for a few years now.

This evening at home:

grilled Lamb Satay w/peanut dipping sauce
veggie: Stir-fried bok choy

quick, easy & so damn delicious.

Chipotle tonight for the first time since I think May or maybe even April. It's right by my night job so here I am

I'm drooling too. With all of the hundreds of different hawker plates available, your photos are all among my top 10-20 favorites. Did you make it to Whampoa this time?

Thanks. To be honest it isn't the camera or me ... it is genuinely the food that makes itself attractive.:) Doesn't it just say ...."eat me! ... eat me! ... eat me!...


No, that area specifically .. although we found ourselves unexpectedly in a number of outlying areas. As it was the Hungry Ghost festival I had many hotel people on "stage alert". If they heard or saw a stage being built during the festival that was close to an MRT then off we'd go and take a look. Hawker food outside main areas, often close to an MRT seems to be of a nicer quality. It was great seeing the workers stop off at stalls to collect their evening meal. Next visit we are going to take a few MRTs at random and just explore. I also tried a lot more stuff I've not tried before - escpecially stuff I thought I might dislike - just to see. A real Foody Safari and everyone is so welcoming and friendly.

The satay was the only "expensive" meal. 40 mixed sticks ie beef, chicken, pork and duck for $S24 (ie £12) and a jug of Tiger for $S17:50 ie £8.75 at Satay Street - Lau Pa Sat.

Already looking forward to our next visit, and I can't get the satay off my mind. A bit of a tradition to head straight to Satay street on the first night. :)

Went to Fishmonger's today, a local seafood joint. Had a softshell crab sandwich. They brought me a plate with the bun, lettuce, tartar sauce and fries and the crab on a second plate. Only half the crab fit on the bun ^

I meant that the particular dishes you photographed are all among my favorites. The "Mixed Vegetable Rice" stalls are my favorite, and my 'go-to' usually once a day.

Usually breakfast scramble for me today: eggs, cheese, sausage, pepper, seasoned salt in a tortilla with hot salsa ^

Are there a few Mexican abarrotes, err grocers in the Raleigh-Durham area? Harris Teeter and the usual would have these products too, but I'm curious.

I haven't been to Raleigh in about fifteen years, but have recently met a couple of people from there talking it up.

There are indeed a few and thank you for reminding me I need to go find one I like. Especially as my nearby Kroger not only doesn't stock chorizo but when I asked the butcher if he had some, he asked me what it was :(

Last night, two haddock in batter fishfinger sandwiches -one with Heinz tomato sauce, the other with taretare sauce. Bottle of bone dry sauvignon.

This is one of our favourite meals.

Today .... I (we) have been eating ....
 

Street pizza. My entire village has been transformed into a street fest, complete with a bandstand across the street. Whole house is currently shaking to "Highway to Hell"

For breakfast, I made a bacon, egg (over easy) and sharp cheddar cheese sandwich on a buttered, toasted La Brea sandwich roll.
