Torture for me is ...
....watching Anthony Bourdain and Bobby Chin on Discovery Channel - Travel & Living, with each host covering a full hour of Singapore's glorious food scene back-to-back with Mr Seetoh of Makansutra, and all I could do was stay glued to the tele, wide-eyed and drooling away like an idiot.
Oh those sizzling pratas, mee goreng, sambal stingrays, chilli crab, carrot cakes, teh tariks and what nots are all just too much to bear. What a torture to be tantalized by something I cannot get around the corner when I want them. It is also quite sad to come to a realization that I don't have a bleeding clue of where most of the eating places those guys went to in Singapore. I'm ashamed!

About Me
- The Sleeping Dragon
- Bangkok, Thailand
- A Singaporean's chronicle of life in Bangkok journalized to keep family and friends up-to-date with the everyday on-goings. A rebel at heart and a non-conformist, she left home reckoning that it would be "good for the soul" for a year or two. It is now more than eight years living abroad and still counting! A little footloose, a little clutzy and sometimes a little cuckoo in the head, this animal-lover, a chronic movie/music buff , an avid reader and a self-proclaim foodie , does appear to be quite normal by any other standards! Now a working mother, her sanity is kept in check by a loving husband, a few close friends and her 3 furry friends. De-stressing usually means a trip to the kitchen and cooking up a few dishes but has been quite an impossible feat since the arrival of The Baby. Welcome to my life!

Serious? Those are common eating places lor. The chicken rice stall that Bourdain went to is actually at Maxwell market. You used to work close by. In all honesty, you're not missing anything... that chicken rice so so only.
Ehh...the chicken rice I don't care so much about. There was this place which looked like somewhere near the Esplanade - all hawker food. I was wondering where and didn't know there's a makan place there. Think they also went somewhere that remotely looks like somewhere behind Joo Chiat. Tze Char style stall. Looks yummy!
Sigh...Singapore food runs deep in my veins! :)
