Now you see Mee

While Mona and I were talking about how much we miss SG and the Hawker Stall food, I showed her the stash that’s tying me over:

Instant Prawn Mee that reminds me of the divine Prawn Mee we’d often have at the Golden Mile Hawker Center. And Mee Poh Dry which brings back memories of Mee Goreng at the old train station.

Hopefully soon, we can taste the legit ones in SG. But in the meantime, let me relive those Hawker adventures with these 2.

SG = Scrumptious Goodies

It's the same question posed to Jo and KaWei this week:

"Why do things like these keep popping up on my feed?"

These are some of my favourite goodies from SG. It's no secret since I've written about these countless times already. These are scrumptious local delights that we usually get from the different hawker centers around the Island.

Most of these were discoveries that were shared by Jo and KaWei as far as decades back. When it comes to local food, you can trust that locals know the best places to get it. And usually, there are great, non-food memories attached to these great eats.

Like that time when we went to that Malaysian train station after midnight to eat authentic Mi Goreng at one of the food stalls. Or KaWei bringing Jo and me to the Golden Mile Hawker Centre, (home of the best Prawn Mee and Tang Yuan) and exploring the stores that sold Military goods upstairs. Or trying Chwee Kueh for the first time, and craving for it ever since.

It's just one of the many local SG dishes that I've been craving for since my last visit there with Erika last year.

And it's just some of the local dishes that I'll be back for once it's okay to travel again.

Soon. Praying that it happens soon

Why no Dino?

Why am I having all these strange food and drink cravings?

Today, I just couldn't get this classic SG drink out of my head!

Yup, it's the Milo Dinosaur that we usually get at Hawker Centers in SG! I can imagine all it's cold, sweet and malty-chocolatey deliciousness with every sip!

Gosh! I hope I can visit SG soon to get a taste of this drink again!

(Or I can just go to Food Panda and order the InfiniTea version. That should be enough to tie me over.)

Meals with Mark: Tian Tian Tian Tian...

Food is one of our priorities whenever we travel, and SG was no exception.

Thanks to Jo who acted as our foodie guide, we were able to visit places that even I haven't tried before!

Last Saturday, Jo brought us to this super duper popular Hainanese Chicken hawker stall in the Maxwell Hawker Center. The nondescript place was called, drumroll please...

Tian Tian! *spirit fingers*

The queue was a good indication that this was an excellent choice. Even if it was quite long, we only waited for about 10-15 minutes. But it was worth it!

This place won the Hawker Hero contest against Gordon Ramsay. And it was also got good reviews from Anthony Bourdain!(+)

We all tried it, and it was really good!

This deserves an encore!
