starting our long weekend with breakfast in petaling street #malaysia

massively big chwee kueh.

with preserved radish mixed with crunchy shallots.

yam cake to go.

comes with savoury shallots and spring onion.

chee cheong fun since 1943.

slippery rice noodles that went really well with the chilli/ sweet sauce.

there are also offerings of comforting porridge with sides of deep fried doughsticks.

but who needs -dough- sticks when you have...

fried food nation.

everything you could want.

fried.

this stall sold fried yong tau foo items just diagonally opposite.

and after all that,

I really needed a cold drink.

soy bean of course.

chilled.

drink it up on the spot :)

or dessert?

soya beancurd and you even get to opt for gula melaka.

oh Malaysia.

i'm glad the mad driving got us in at 7am on a Friday morning. :)

lunch @ kallang bahru market

A hungry mummy after a whole morning of getting down on her handsandfeet (I kid you not)

to clean the house calls the shots at lunch.

This handsandfeet cleanup thing happens on a weekly basis.

She's secretly OCD.

First time we're doing lunch at Kallang/ Geylang Bahru Market.

It was WAY TOO HOT to be out there. Literally.

Dad grabs a fish soup that is pretty tasty (I'm not sure if there's seasoning in this)

And a lousy decision of adding 50 cents for an overfried rubbery egg.

But fresh fish slices and loads of tofu pieces.

And a surprisingly yummy yam cake.

And this was unanimous.

Not me myself and I being biased.

From a corner nondescript shop selling Kim Choo Dumplings.

And desserts of course.

She's a hungry mummy remember?

Sticky caramelized tapioca drizzled generously with coconut milk.

OH YUM.

Why restaurants when hawker centres are simply gems?

yam cake

Now this, is what I call perks of the job.

Restaurant standard, canteen prices.

An extra large serving for a loyal fan.

I'm the undisputed kueh princess.

Two servings of kueh a day,

keeps me happy all day!

But I really don't think it keeps the doctor away.

Too much carb and hardly a balanced diet.

This was yam cake packed with dried shrimp and a distinct taro taste.

Well, just once in a while.

And those days you'll see me with nothing but a big smile on my face.

Then you'll know... ;)
