I don't eat this

Monday, August 10 | 5:16 PM

WARNING
The following images may not be appetizing to some...

...but it is lunch to others.

I was quite grossed out really when I came across the sight (7/6/09) at Sheng Siong Supermarket.

On a more current note, I'm contemplating trying guinea pigs - fried ones - a delicacy of one of the countries I'll be heading to at the end of the year. In the meantime, I have to learn some Spanish and Portuguse somehow...

real strawberries within!

Thursday, February 12 | 3:08 PM

This brand of cereal contains real strawberries and in large quantities too.

I bought like 5 boxes on 2 separate occasions to last me for awhile because of a discount they are offering in the supermarket. Costing over $8 previously, I paid $5.95 for each box during the offer at NTUC. What a steal!

Sorely MISSED...

...buttery and heavenly pineapple tarts made by one of my student's mom - together with another tub by my contractor, I ate one layer daily during the Chinese New Year period. His sister calculated that each tart carried 55 calories. My philosophy - this happens only once a year so JUST EAT IT!

...tender and flavoury kueh lapis crafted by my sister-in-law's family. Once, I ate only this for a meal.

Long Way Up
KL Trip #1
5 to 7 Dec 08

I know the title sounds wrong. That was the disturbing thought when my KL friend brought my friends and I to this famous stall selling really succulent and delicious salted chicken.

See the towers of boxes stacked from floor to ceiling? They sell chickens by the hundreds daily.

Here comes the disturbing side of the story. In this little town, this famous establishment employs the advertising technique which modern city companies thrives on and exploits - the female image. What is truly discomforting is that the life-size cut-out advertisements feature only teenage girls!

There's another at the bottom right corner of the above picture where the cut-out advertisement is a teenage girl in school uniform seen flashing a thumbs up sign. The 2 men just happened to be leaving the premises with their purchases. Don't go all Freudian with me but isn't this explicit chicken sales exploiting the innocence of the young? How about the flashy and symbolic red splashed all around the shop?

On a totally random note, the streets of this town, which I cannot recall (it's either Ipoh or Ibor), are lined with these trees trimmed to shape like rectangles. Quite a lovely sight I must say.

Nonetheless, the salted chickens are really good. Go try it when you are there.
