One of the unique things in Taiwan… 檳榔西施

I really wanted stingray tonight but couldnt find anyone to go with me… so I went down to the corner for some Malaysian hawaker food.   These burgers are one of the most fattening things I have ever come across … Continue reading →

Tony, Chris, Geoff, and I had a bbq last weekend.  I was a tad late in posting…

Had some friends in town so I took them down the street to the hawker center for local food  Laksa, Chicken Rice, Oyster Omelt..

I was talking to my friend Robbie a few weeks ago when he mentioned to me how wonderful "grilled pizza" was.  "Grilled Pizza," I asked? Was this possible?  Sure enough, I did a google and making pizza on the bbq … Continue reading →

Another dinner at the Bukit Timah hawker center  Sting ray, prata, tissue prata, and 2 vege curries.
