Today I found something interesting in a friend’s blogroll. Aptly named I eat. I shoot. I post. it didn’t take too much for my curiosity to be piqued.
Boy was it a stupid idea.
What ensued was a very well kept blog of a Singaporean foodie. We already have the reputation of photographing and writing about food religiously, and this blog does nothing if not reinforce that notion. We’re going to have to work really hard at changing the global perception that we’re a tropical island full of ass-whipping foodaholics, with no tolerance for chewing gum. Oh and that food photography is a national past-time.
It would be absolutely delightful if I could just nip out right away and try something in the blog. He’s got a nice section on BCM that I’m quite enthusiastic about. However. Reality is a cold bitch. In the reality I live in, where instant gratification is the order du jour, and I get the shoes I ordered online within two days (hehehe!), patience isn’t exactly a virtue I’ve honed.
Restraint I practice often, and it’s that which keeps me from a) trying out the local Singaporean fare in California and getting my heart broken; repeatedly b) flying back every 2 weeks’ when the munchies catch up with me.
So how bad an idea was it? Let’s just say I started salivating uncontrollably, and in desperation at 11.30pm, I settled for a bowl of 出前一丁 in Chicken which, thankfully, was pretty close to my favourite Myojo which isn’t available here. Score!
It’s been an hour since I wolfed that bowl of noodles and that egg I poached so perfectly in the soup. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but I’m telling myself it’s what I needed. I was hungry!
Anyway. A picture to take my mind off food.
Winter in San Francisco can be so pleasant!
