Now, Looky Here at What I've Got!

Remember the "Candy Meat" post from a little while back? Yeah, of course you do, how could you forget any of the crucial information on TMWAE? 

A couple days after I made the post, and also spoke about the "Candy Meat" on Twitter, I got an @reply from @felinewong. He told me that all I needed to do to be able to once again enjoy this snack was simply to go to Chinatown and by "Pork Jerky"! 

I hadn't had the time to go into any Chinese supermarkets and look for it until yesterday when my Dad and I went on a mega Tri-Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) grocery shopping spree - The reason for this will be given to you come Saturday - and, there it was, pork jerky!

Anyways, I haven't cracked it open yet, but I'm just so excited that I can't help but write a (potentially prematurely optimistic) happy-ending post. 

* JUST A QUICK NOTE, PLEASE EXCUSE MY HEINOUS PHOTOGRAPHS, THE CORD FOR MY BATTERY CHARGER FOR MY NICE CAMERA IS CURRENTLY M.I.A.

THE MODEL WHO

ATE EVERYTHING

Everyday Eats!

I owe my obsession of food to my Dad, he's a foodie in all ways. Not only does he love to eat, but he also loves to cook delicious meals. A lot of the time he makes the kitchen off limits to the rest of us, but sometimes I'm summoned into the kitchen to be his assistant.

Here's what I ate last week!

Chinese eggplant in a Thai yellow curry with coconut milk.

Grilled chicken with peanut sauce.

Who doesn't like to eat in the PJs? Pumpkin & lamb dumplings, to be dipped in a tempura sauce, rice vinegar, chive combo.

Bee Cheng Hiang|Shanghai, China (When Candy and Meat, Meet)

I'm not much of a meat eater, and when I do eat meat it tends to stay in the chicken-bacon-maybe fish category. This meat, or this candy as it should really be called comes in pork, chicken and beef - from what I've seen - and really is to die for. Dirt cheap, big, small, for now, for later, whatever you choose. The chicken coins are pretty damn good, but the pork squares conquer all. Your tastebuds have a party with every munch, it's ridiculous.


Unfortunately, deliveries are only available in Singapore.

I'm Still Here...

I've been slacking off lately, my apologies. I would whip out a fabulously delicious post about street food in Shanghai right now, but unfortunately it's 12:15AM and I need to get to sleep.

But here's a little image for your to drool over and dream about tonight...

Food Fusion|Shanghai, China

Malaysian. Dead spicy. Fried carrot cake? Food Fusion is on the top floor of the Parkson department store at Huaihai Lu/Shaanxi Lu in Shanghai's French Concession. Who knew that department stores could have such great restaurants at the top of them? Note: Apparently Asia's department stores always have a fabulous restaurant or two at the top, according to my Dad. 

Came across Food Fusion while on a hunt for lunch with two Canadians, we climbed the escalators all the way up the whole 8 floors, wondering if it was even worth it. But boy, it was. My mouth may have been flaming the whole time, but there was something about those chicken skewers with their peanut sauce, that really just made me a happy girl.

About the fried carrot cake, unfortunately I can't totally remember the details, but it's pretty much what you think it is. Seemed like a questionable thing to order, but my fellow diner was luckily set on trying it. If I can find a photo online I'll post it, because I don't think I'll be able to make it back for a third meal before I leave.

Ice Kacang: Sweet corn, red bean, coconut jelly, rose jelly, ice cream, possibly something I'm forgetting, all served on ice. It was definitely an interesting sensation that thing made my mouth endure... I question the use of corn in desserts, I don't think "sweet" should be taken so seriously in the name sweet corn. But, that said, overall is was damn good and even though I probably will never eat it again... I would recommend you try some. 

Really upset that this new food concept didn't start three months ago. My Shanghai food stories would have bee far more interesting with visuals, and probably more accurate if I had written them day of.
