There are things in life that need not much detailing. Nor glittery stardust ending to clothe a prose. The science of it breezes through the same channel of inhalation.

You will understand if you’ve found yours.

A familiar dialect, a hearty meal.

The same old you.

So you're saying that this is one good meal? Cool. I love a good fish porridge. As far as stall food goes, I think the one at chinatown in KL tastes pretty good.

live2talk, i agree!!!! like that song back in the 80's by a hong kong singer...something like, "salted wish and bak choy will taste just as good when you are around"...how true! :)

cumi & ciki, haha! the same old me. that's me, i guess! once a foodie, always a foodie. that's me as well...hehe...food does remind us of who we were and what we wanted to be as we grow up. that's what i believe lar... :)

j2fkm, lurve sang yue chuk! sometimes, i wonder if paying lotsa money for sashimi is worthwhile when a plate of sang yue only costs S$3.00..hehe...ok lar, it's a different story altogether.
hehehe, yeah, decided to do a short but reflective post on delicious food that reminds us of the simpler, innocent times. :)

HairyBerry said...

hazza, no, we have it in malaysia as well! i usually get my fix at jalan ipoh, 3rd mile, i think. hey, hope you had a good trip back to manchester! :)
