Coherent cuisines such as mediterranean, thai, or okinawan, makes it more authentic than to substitute items and sacrifice flavors. Ironically, this has to do a lot with marketing. It's a lot easier to sell a steak than a plate of fresh bread and figs. But reading your entry about getting preeclampsia, reinforced my realization that as a child of developing singapore when more was more, it's time to switch our ways of thinking.Towkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641237890297622903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-47818319117951932292011-12-05T11:42:20.914+08:002011-12-05T11:42:20.914+08:00thanks for sharing, nice idea...thanks for sharing, nice idea<a href="http://www.fruitseafood.com.tw" title="水果" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://www.cool007.org/" title="徵信社" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://www.cool007.org/" title="徵信" rel="nofollow">.</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-65964827182084091682011-07-28T13:11:35.435+08:002011-07-28T13:11:35.435+08:00Why must healthy food be expensive?

This restaurant chain has a terrible overpriced menu with mostly unhealthy recipies and their service is even worse...I have never seen such a consistently arrogant group of servers who basically throw plates of poorly prepared, foul tasting food at their customers. In the US, the Swensen's chain went completely out of business about 20 years ago and it's simply because the food was awful. I'm surprised the Singaporeans tolerate such bad food and endure awful service...is this some sort of local ritual to renact meal time at Changi Prison?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-6266655700310125652010-11-15T11:28:41.563+08:002010-11-15T11:28:41.563+08:00The first pic is the best!

I do love that 1st shot of the baby though.. aw, so chubby so cute!<br /><br />Back to the post, i was surprised at the choice of food esp the curry laksa, then when i read that it was low fat, and employed brown beehoon, i was really impressed! talk about having your cake and eating it. If all eateries went this direction, it would make Malaysia and Singapore a healthier place to live for sure.<br /><br />great post dear.Cikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476827652911271375noreply@blogger.com
