Something that i miss wearing

ok...this is my no.4 uniform...and it's the one that was on me when i so unfortunately had that fracture...but i do hope that i won't be going to changi airbase where i had been originally posted...heard it's hell there.

anyway, went to chinatown yesterday evening to have my dinner at Malan la mian(马兰拉面) restaurant at majestic,chinatown. the zha jiang mian wasn't to my liking tho. i like zha jiang mian( it's like minced pork with vegetables and noodles). i have so far tried the one at 天津官(tian jin guan) in bras basah complex, the one at the Kopitiam next to SAM, the one at crystal jade's la mian and xiao long bao and of course the one at malan...my verdict? the one, i feel is the best is from tian jin guan...maybe it's because the first bowl of zha jiang mian i have tried was from there...and i had more zha jiang mians there than any other of the places that i have mentioned above. but the crystal jade's one is not bad tho...it's abit wetter than the others cuz they give alot of gravy. the funny thing is that of all the zha jiang mian that i have tasted, none of them taste alike...that's why it's quite hard for me to compare them side by side altho all of them are called zha jiang mian.
i have since become a fan of noodles/la mian ever since i had my fracture...dunno why also... oh yeah...another good la mian restaurant i like is Ajisen's ramen(japanese for la mian). i like the ton-toro ramen especially, since the pork that is served is the lean type...and they are sliced very thinly, easy to chew...plus, the serving of pork given is generous. the fragrant soup is an added bonus as well...too bad i dun have pics here to complement my discriptions...haha.

oh yeah...while at chinatown yesterday, saw bronco company's store man, mr eric in OG...he recognised me(obviously since i am the laundry ic and always pester him to change the damaged bedsheets). then i sort of smiled and waved as he did the same. oh, i went to the guiling gao(龟苓膏) shop that JL LT recommended in her blog...cuz i am also quite a fan of guiling gao, so i din want to miss this chance to have the traditional big bowled guiling gao i had in Hong Kong earlier this year. this time i ate the cold one...easier and faster to eat. i think they should have more flavours like the one in HK's luei yan gai(女人街). i rem they had guiling gao with pei pa goa(枇杷膏) and peppermint flavours on top of several others...hehe. another good brand of guiling gao to recommend is the one available at the crystal jade cakery, costs $4 and comes with a small tub of honey syrup(trust me, u will need it). the guiling gao made by crystal jade is quite solid and the flavour is just right, not too bitter. it is worth ur $4.

after years of craziness over japanese food, i had finally learned to embrace the food that belongs exclusively and is unique to my culture...chinese food dun make me sick!(this is in response to LFO's song which has the phrase "chinese food make me sick")

ps: realised that i have 离题(my content deviates from my title).
