I woke up, sat down, drank coffee and then, while still in my pj's, was handed a package of Indian takeout for breakfast. A light breakfast, no doubt. Briyani chicken, rice, eggplant, and a deep fried hard boiled egg. Aaaaaaaah. I feel so light and ready to conquer the day. *gurgle gurgle*I washed it all down with my delish breakfast dessert of pandan chiffon cake from Bangawan Solo. Any sane person would just have the cake for breakfast. I don't think I've ever eaten so much, so consistently, for so long in my life. It's a bit mad. "Singaporean mad." Hey look! Yet another sole without a shoe. Melted off on the way back from the food court, for sure. Poor sucker was so full, he probably didn't even notice.
Night time was party time. A local's satay extravaganza! We started off with Indonesian Tahu Lontong, Steam Chicken/Prawn Wonton and Peking Duck wraps, all professionally presented. After snacking on the appetizers and getting full, the main meal was then served. Beef, mutton and chicken satay with cucumbers, onions and home made ketuput (rice steamed in banana leaf) that is to die for especially when dipped in the peanut sauce. And then we had mee siam, which is flavored vermicelli in a tamarind sauce with shrimp, eggs and tau pok (fried bean curd). To end the evening, we had the first healthy meal of the entire trip; a fruit salad stick.
At the end of the night, one of the locals commented that the eating in abundance is not a usual occurence. Obviously I have been in the company of food masochists. Colon terrorists!! On the flip side, why would anyone want to cook when one can get a good meal at any hawker center for less then $5. You might as well turn your kitchen into a recreation room. Put a ping pong table in there!
