Holiday Food

We had a 4 day long weekend a few weeks ago. I love holidays because holiday means not having to be woken up by the alarm clock, not having to work, u can do anything u want and best of all, it's OK to be lazy :P

Of course, i didn't be lazy la. I used my time wisely by doing things I didn't have time to do, like cleaning my room (although it is quite well maintained all this while)! :P

Although i love that fact that i can take things easy, but it was a pain that most of the kopitiams were closed! Every morning, we spent our time exploring the whole town because all our usual eateries were closed T___T Then we decided to take chances and ended up with not so delicious food, but their business was good anyway because all the good ones were also on holiday.... 

On the 3rd day of holiday, one of our usual eateries was opened (Yaye!). Mum being mum, she ordered the biggest plate of special curry rice for me! It came with veggie, an egg, steamed chicken, roasted chicken, roasted pork + a bowl of curry soup. Wah, i think it could feed 2 people! But i finished it anyway and thought of skipping lunch later. Mum asked me to go grab her a morning newspaper. It was quite a hot day but i didn't mind taking a walk because it would definitely help with digestion!

I walked in the lonely street. All shops were closed and there wasn't even much cars on the road! Half way, i saw a stall selling fried you tiao (crispy rice rolls 油條). The father was busy frying the rice rolls while his little son was in charge of serving the customers. I hadn't had this for a long long time! I remember, when i was working in the dim sum restaurant, one of my favourite dishes is steamed rice rolls stuff with crispy rice rolls (炸油條腸粉). The outside was soft while the inside was crunchy, it was such a heavenly combination! 

in case you are wondering what's 炸油條腸粉, this is it! 

Doesn't it look yummy? *drool*

So i decided to buy 2 pieces  (hmmm, didn't i just had a big breakfast?!) and continued my search for newspaper. Good thing that the newspaper stall was just around the corner!

 Crispy rice rolls + newspaper

I walked back to the kopitiam with my 'trophies'. my mum was happy to see that i got her a newspaper and even happier when she saw the crispy rice rolls. I couldn't believe it but I actually ordered a cup of milk tea to go with the rice rolls! what to do? Must consume them immediately because soft crispy rice rolls are awful!

you know what? i didn't manage to skip lunch that day. My friend wanted to eat Indian food and I had Nasi Bryanni + Teh Tarik.

Indian Cuisine!

Sigh, no wonder my skinny jeans are getting tighter and tigher :S
