Oh boy, Miabambina<\/a> and Ms Fairface<\/a> tagged me on the subject I’m most passionate about.. food. I love to eat, I love good food, and this is one thing I’m willing to spend. I have so many things I like, I don’t know where to start…<\/p>\n

So I’ll stick to the title : Food Around The World, literally, what more with my recent trip to Singapore, I made two delicious ‘international’ discoveries.<\/p>\n

In Singapore, I was shopping for something to eat for breakfast on my last night, and I saw this pot of yogurt for sale in Market Square, Tangling Mall. I was more interested in the terracotta pot which was holding the yogurt, so I bought it, even though it was S$8 per pot (1 serving). I chose the one with honey, the way I like my yogurt.<\/p>\n

The following morning, when I scoped the first spoon into the mouth, mama mia, what a heavenly sensation!! I had never tasted yogurt this delicious before. It was very creamy and smooth, and the honey taste was very distinctive (in Chinese you’ll say it’s very ‘hiong’ or ‘siang’). I normally gobbled up my breakfast because of hunger, but this time, I slowly tasted every spoon of it; letting the euphoric taste linger. Too bad, my ice box was full<\/a>, or I would have bought a few pots for later enjoyment back home. This is the La Fermiere yogurt from France. If you haven’t tasted it and is a great fan of yogurt, you have to try this!! I heard, it’s one of the best yogurt in the world (from doing a google search).<\/p>\n

Too bad, it’s not available in Malaysia, or I would have gladly paid RM20 a pot for the occasional indulgence.<\/p>\n

The other gastronomic discovery is the zhongs<\/a>\u00a0from Hong Kong. A nice Hong Kong colleague of mine brought two from Maxim<\/a> for me when we met in Singapore. We had one over the weekend and boy it was delicious!!<\/p>\n

The rice was first wrapped with two pieces of bamboo leaves, then tightly\u00a0bundled up\u00a0with lotus leaves. The zhong has both the fragrance of the leaves. It was big enough for two big eaters like myself and Daddy, filled with pieces of roast duck (which I’m a big fan), lentils (I think that’s what it was), a nice salted egg yolk, a piece of lard (which we discarded), and a whole scallop. Oh boy.. what a treat it was.<\/p>\n

\"Food<\/p>\n

The zhong and the momento of the orgasmic experience<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I’m a convert for Hong Kong zhong and french yogurt! Can’t wait for the weekend\u00a0to arrive so we can share the next\u00a0zhong; and I’m looking forward to\u00a0my next trip to Singapore for more La Fermiere orgasmic experience. Sorry yeah, these 2 items are not from my home town and I’m not sticking to the original tag.<\/p>\n
