Deepavali Muruku

I love it when colleagues are kind enough to provide home-made treats during the festive period. One of the BF’s colleagues surprised him one day with, amongst other goodies, a box of home-made Muruku, a lightly spiced traditional South Indian cracker. It was delicious. Although it’s deep fried, it wasn’t greasy and it was extremely palatable, with the flavour of cumin coming through every bite. One of the best versions I’ve tried.

The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and stalls are varied enough that multipl

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur

C'est la saison de la soupe. Meme si on n'a pas les quarte saisons Ă  Singapour, le temps devient "pas aussi chaud" vers la fin de l'annĂ©e; c'est cette pĂ©riode que j'ai envie de soupes et de ragoĂ»ts...ils sont trĂšs trĂšs rĂ©confortants!  Dans d'autres nouvelles, les lumiĂšres et dĂ©corations de NoĂ«l Ă  Rue Orchard sont allumĂ©es!! Je ne suis pas sĂ»r pourquoi, mais voir les lumiĂšres de NoĂ«l me rend toujours heureux. Je pense, c'est peut-ĂȘtre parce que les lumiĂšres de NoĂ«l signifient l'approche de NoĂ«l, ma saison prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©e de tous. MĂȘme si on ne fĂȘte pas NoĂ«l pour des raisons religieuses, c'est toujours le temps de la gentillesse et l'amour, toutes les qualitĂ©s que j'apprĂ©cie et chĂ©rit. Et parce que tous nos proches resteront Ă  Singapour, nous inaugurerons et passerons les fĂȘtes de NoĂ«l et du Nouvel An avec eux Ă  la maison au lieu. Ce sera certainement un changement, car nous sommes habituellement Ă  l'Ă©tranger et nous regardons les feux d
