Of fatty, flavorsome foods and flying

Today, I had dinner with relatives at some Malaysian restaurant. Man, did that bring back a lot of memories... There was the 3-layer Teh C Peng. A.k.a. 3-layered iced tea with condensed milk. Brought back memories of food courts, hawker stalls in dodgy alleys. Used to have it at least once a week back in Malaysia. Today, it's the first time I've drank it since...who knows how long. Reminded me of how damn good it tastes. It was hard trying to not gulp it down all in one go. I'm already craving it now =[

And then there was Shark Fin Soup. Back home, I only had it when I attended wedding dinners at posh hotels. I remembered it being extremely tasty but could only have it on rare occasions. I remember eating it slowly, trying to savour every spoonful. And if I was extremely lucky, there would be a big piece of crabmeat in my soup.

And also Buttered Prawns. *Salivates* I used to have it in a restaurant in Sarawak Club. So....damn....good. Of course, I didn't know that the highly sought after dish costed heaps. I only knew that I wanted the whole plate to myself.

I miss Malaysian hawker food. A lot. Where supper wasn't a cup of milo or biscuits, but was fatty-but-oh-so-delicious-and-so-damn-cheap-compared-to-here hawker food. Since there was a place like 2 minutes away from my house, we used to go there at least once a week. It was always the spur of the moment. The "Hungry. Let's go get supper." type. But now, I can only dream of it.

Random note: Teleportation or flying?
