Just got back from a family friend's home with a tray of curry puffs and i was just thinking bout the old chang kee curry puffs back in singapore and long before it became a franchise. I recall when i was much younger, my dad would drive down to this old kopi tiam where i think the original was located (somewhere near little india i think..correct me if i'm wrong) and buy a couple of bags full and we'll be happily eating away at it in the car. The one thing that stands out in my mind about those curry puffs was the hard boiled egg in them..odd.

Another thing that comes to mind is otah otah, back when i was in primary school, i would buy shitloads of that stuff all wrapped in banana leaves or is it pandan (!?) for a mere 20 cents. Over here in perth we can get them like that as well but its aussie 2 dollars a pop at selected asian supermarts, frozen and imported of course. Speaking of frozen and imported, i've had it with frozen durians. I had this sudden craving for them a few weeks ago and i schmoozied over to this shop which sells them frozen and after about a minute of devouring the "king of fruits", i felt as tho i was gonna throw up. Just picture yourself having to eat frozen playdoh and u'll get the picture..grin..i want the real deal bought fresh off the streets where the uncles yell out:

"lai ah lai...dulian dulian..velly flesh.. oni 5 lollar, buy 3 get 1 flee!"...heh..
