A fellow ED-Recoverer once asked me how I managed to get myself out of my eating disordered food rut. How did I manage to overcome my fear foods, and be able to socialize and eat out? How am I able to pick up bites of snacks in the streets, and not obsess over a “proper sit-down” meal?
Well, here’s my simple answer (Ironically, Pollen-esque style): Just Eat. Mostly With Eaters. Not Too Much Food Talk.
Basically, get away from people who engage in fat talk all the time. People who always discuss the latest diet and nutrition. People who pick at their food and eat a bowl of salad for dinner.
You probably already know such people. You probably see them all the time. And you probably find it incredibly hard to avoid this group of chronic dieters.
But for the sake of your own sanity, please try to be more proactive about avoiding them. I’m not saying you should severe your friendship completely. But you’ve got to look after yourself, and there is no point or benefit in constantly hanging out with such people who will only reinforce in you the false idea that this is the proper way to live. It’ll be even more difficult to avoid them if these people are your beloved family members, in which case you’ll have to develop a tougher skin, or let them know firmly that you don’t appreciate such conversations. Of course, you can’t avoid them, but you can always saturate yourself with more positive influences.
By that, I mean look for eaters. Now, notice that I did not say foodies. Foodies can tend to have an unnatural obsession for food, too. By eaters, I mean people who simply…eat. People who view food in a moderate, healthy perspective. People who listen to their hunger cues. People who enjoy eating, but not letting it take over their life. People who may not be a nutrition expert, but in many ways are mentally and physically healthier than an obsessed individual. Look around you carefully. There has to be someone. Suck up to them, and observe and learn.
I was lucky enough to find such a group of friends. In fact, they became the key players in pulling me out of many of my misconceptions and fears towards dining out. Say hello to the three eating warriors who forced me into battle against all my disordered thoughts:
(from left) Suyun, Stephanie, and Wengang. Stephanie and Wen Gang are married; they are the couple hosting me right now (I have much more to say about this wonderful couple, but they deserve their own post!). Su Yun is Stephanie’s sister-in-law, and Wen Gang’s younger sister. They’re a slim bunch…but boy are they eaters!
A couple of days ago, we all attended the 2010 Singapore Food Expo together: 
The Singapore Food Expo is just a showcase of many of Singapore’s own food and beverage industries. All the products are made locally, and they are sold in discounted prices. 
And look, there are vendors selling fresh, hot food, too! Score! 
This place was packed. As I said, Singaporeans love their food, and they love, love, love discounts. Plus, they get drawn by crowds. Anyplace with a crowd, and they absolutely need to be there. 
I got squished and shoved by the crowd like a sardine! And oh look, speaking of sardines… 
Spread that on toast, and you’ve got the best sardine sandwich ever. What? Don’t like the smell of sardines? Well, guess you won’t be adventurous enough to try Chinese sausages, then… 
Those red links up there? It’ll probably freak a health nut out. But to the Chinese, there is no better ingredient in adding mouth-watering flavor into fried rice.
Honestly, I was still full from an afternoon of constant eating. But when Stephanie told me about this expo…well, I just couldn’t resist. I said “Ooh yes!” at once. And I’m glad I did, because it was one fun event. Hello? Being surrounded by cheap food and people scuffing down food? My idea of heaven.
Plus, with three fellow eaters (not foodies, just eaters), it’s hard not to get excited about trying some stuff here. They immediately sniffed out the tastiest and cheapest food stall at once: 
Pan-fried xiao long baos, stuffed with pork! At just SGD$3.90 (USD$2.70) for 7 big pieces!! Whoa lao, bargain ah! 
We huddled in the corner, giggling at each other as we squirted meat juices at each other when we beat into the fried dough: 
This was freaking awesome! I loved how the exterior of the bun was crispy from being fried, and how a bite revealed the hot meaty juice and the tender pork filling inside. Juicy, meaty, chewy, crispy, and crunchy all at once!
Here’s Wengang trying to maintain his cool as the juices in the dumpling burned his tongue: 
“Aiyah, that’s not the way to do it,” Stephanie scolded. “Watch me lah!” She masterfully snatched up a piece of fried bun… 
And chomped hard with a look of pure bliss on her face. “You must really look like you enjoy it! No fear!”
Now that’s the way! Uh-huh, uh-huh!
Do you see now why I adore these people? They aren’t afraid to show ecstasy for good food in the least. I didn’t hear one word about how “greasy” the bun is, or how “fatty” the pork is, or how “unhealthy” the refined dough is. That’s the way to eat and enjoy, indeed!
We then moved on from stall to stall, stopping by any that hit our fancy. We also picked up more snacks on the way, such as this cup of Orh Nee: 
This traditional Teo Chew dessert may be made of taro, a nutritious root vegetable…but it ain’t exactly for the calorie-conscious. Basically, it has more sugar and pork fat than the vegetable, so that it glides smoothly down your throat. That thick sauce over it? It’s a mixture of sugar and lard. Oh, and topped with a single ginko nut, perhaps as a last resort to disguise this calorie-bomb as a nutritious snack.
We also shared bags of fried chicken wings, some cheese-filled hotdogs, more orh nee, fried rice, some noodle thing…and god knows what else. Here’s Wengang with his load of the day: 
I should have waited a bit more to take this picture, because right after this shot, his load got several bags heavier!
As for me, I managed to limit myself to just a couple of these spicy garlic toasts for my midnight snack. They were pretty big, and only a dollar for each!: 
They weren’t kidding about the spicy part. They definitely had a good kick to them! They were also really nicely saturated with some intense garlicky butter…Thankfully I’m still dateless, huh…? 
…Or perhaps this is the reason why I’m still dateless. Hmm……
Oh, well. Garlic or a man. I choose garlic.
Now don’t worry. Singapore may be stuffed with all sorts of delicious, irresistible calorie-bombs, but there are also plenty of areas for you to burn them off. Early morning today, my friend Danielle and I went for a long walk around MacRitchie Reservoir. 
I remember my dad taking my family here for a walk often, back when we used to live in Singapore. This place hadn’t changed much, so the familiar scenery brought back such nostalgic memories! 
Uh, not all memories are pleasant, though. See that harmless-looking monkey over there? 
Furry and twitchy and cute? Not so! These creatures are savage!! 
I remember once walking through the woods with a bag of food, and started getting stalked by a gang of monkeys. I started walking faster, and then broke into a frantic run as the whole pack of monkeys starting chasing me with open sharp jaws! I finally dropped my bag, but who knows what would have happened if I had clung onto it? They might have severed my arm off! 
And another time? One giant crazy old monkey marched up to me out of the blue, grabbed my water bottle off my hands, and tugged ferociously at it until I let go. I was with two of my friends at the time. It was three against one stupid monkey, but that monkey knew no fear! Moral of the story? Stay clear from the monkeys. They are NOT cuddly and cute.
Okay, back to the trail. Danielle and I walked about 14 km, including a wobbly clamber through the Tree Top Walk: 
Not recommended for Acrophobics. But otherwise, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, if not for the blasted sun burning through our pores.
As you can imagine, we were starving after this walk! We took a quick shower at the MacRitchie restroom, changed, and then hurried out for brunch. We decided to breakfast the traditional Singaporean way, so the choice of venue was easy: 
Toast Box is a popular traditional Southeast Asian coffeeshop in Singapore which shares the same parent company as Food Republic. Just like Food Republic, it seeks to bring an olden-days feel to the modern city, with old-style fresh-brewed coffee and grilled toasts. 
I got a set meal, which comes with a choice of toast, 2 soft-boiled eggs, and coffee/tea. Obviously, I opted for coffee: 
I had not had fresh-brewed coffee in weeks. I’ve been living off instant coffee, and this tasted…like gold nectar to me! I asked for kopi-o-kosong, which means black coffee (See here to view the complete set of ordering coffee—or kopi—in Singapore). 
Nice saucer. I do love clean, white saucers with a cute logo. I briefly wondered (I was delirious from dehydration and lack of sleep) what they would do to me if I just boldly took one home with me.
As for the eggs, I was a bit nonplussed to find that they were a bit runnier than I would have liked: 
I love my yolks runny, but I’d rather have my whites kinda firm, thank you very much. I had to slurp it up like soup with a spoon, with just a drizzle of soy sauce like the locals. 
No princess treatment here; you have to crack your own eggs: 
As for the toast, I ordered a thick otah toast, which came served with a wooden pick and a piece of charred banana leaf: 
Otah-otah is one of my favorite snacks in Singapore. It is a cake mixture blended from fish paste, spices, coconut milk, and other binders, then stuffed into a banana leaf and grilled. Does that not sound absolutely glorious?! 
I don’t really know why they placed the banana leaf over the toast. I suppose it’s the same leaf they used to wrap the otah. Maybe it was to infuse the toast with its fragrance. But what am I supposed to do with it? I bit on it and chewed on the edges, just for fun. Danielle started giggling, incredulous. I told you I was delirious. 
But underneath the useless leaf was a thick, fluffy white toast spread with spicy, flavorful otah. The toast was a bit too thick for my liking, but the wonderful otah on top made up for the bread’s lack of flavor. 
So chewy! So spicy! So nice! And so cute! I loved the little wooden pick and how the toast was chopped into little cubes. I shall eat all my toasts in cubes from now on.
Meanwhile, Danielle got the meal set with the kaya toast and lemon iced tea: 
Kaya is a rich, coconut custard jam. Remember when I made it once in the slow-cooker? Well, the real shiz is better, by far, I’m sad to say. This toast came in a very crispy, thinly-sliced grilled bread, with a thin sliver of butter and kaya: 
I stole about half of her piece, and thought it was great, but not as great as my otah toast. I guess if you have a sweet tooth, you would prefer the kaya toast. But if you love spicy, bold flavors like me, otah is the way to go!
Now, I’m curious. How many times throughout this post, did you go “Oh no, but that has xxx calories, how many miles must I run to burn that off?” or “Gosh, that’s way too much fat…fat to my thighs…” or “Whoa, white carbs, gaaah, nooo I’ll diiiieeee!”? Anyone? Be honest. That’s probably the first reaction for many people, because we’ve been so injected into our minds to treat food in such a cautious, restrictive way. And yes, I also regularly have the knee-jerk reaction of “Oh, I shouldn’t…”
I’m not asking you to totally shun nutrition, and stuff yourself silly with deep-fried steamed buns and buttery toasts. Actually, if you did that, you would feel extremely sick, and I’m not even talking about weight gain. Your body would naturally cry out, “Stop. Enough. I need some vitamins and minerals!” In fact, after that Food Expo, Wengang and Stephanie came home to balance out their grease fest with some fresh sliced fruit and slow-cooked Chinese soup and tea. Do they know anything about nutrition? Not really. They just started craving something healthier.
Let’s try to regulate our attitude towards food, shall we? As I said, I think that you should first surround yourself with people who do have a good attitude towards food. At least for the time being until you can withstand negative food talks, and maybe even exude positive influence on others as well.
P.S. This post is really targeted at eating disordered individuals, but I reckon many regular women struggle with common issues as well.
Question of the Day: Are you surrounded by people who engage in constant negative food talks? Does that affect you in any way? Do you know any person(s) who have a healthy attitude towards food?

Just eat. Mostly with eaters. Yes I can see that. I did not try that much food in my recent visit for 3 months :O
All the food you featured always look yum! But when I am in Singapore, I never really crave for them. Now I am…arggh….
The people I know that are positive about food are food bloggers!! Others are constantly talking negative, and saying how bad this food is, and how bad that is, etc..
I love your Michael Pollan-esqu rules, very clever. I’m a total foodie so I understand your hesitance to hang around people who pick at their food because they want to walk around looking like sticks. I prefer to hang out with people who love eating. Food is so glorious, why not enjoy it!?!
I think our society is so diet obsessed, even those women considered “normal” eaters would have those thoughts. Isn’t it ironic how a country like Singapore full of amazing food, more exotic variety than one could ever fathom, and no qualms whatsoever about a dessert of sugar and lard, is full of healthy thin, non obsessed people who truly enjoy food and life. From all the studies I’ve read, I think Asia is the best about this, but many places in Europe too (French women don’t get fat?)
Honestly, I didn’t think once about calories though during your post (yay me!) but all the meat products would definitely keep me from eating many of them, but bring on the kaya!
I miss the crazy monkeys! My backpack was attacked by a monkey though I don’t remember the name of the park. He was so smart! He was trying to open zippers and find food haha.
I love surrounding myself with “eaters!” My sister has always been my eating role model in that respect because she denies herself nothing, enjoys everything, and manages to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I hate to say it, but my mom is a negative food talker. Whenever she mentions a tasty food, she’ll say things like, “Just thinking about it adds five pounds to my hips!” It’s hard not to let such talk affect the way I think and feel about food.
I work among foodies and I’ve received negative comments from a colleague about being spoilsport and boring now that I have to eat more healthily because of health issues, I wonder what do these people think? Am supposed to ignore warnings from my doctor and continue like I did no matter what? It’s not that I don’t LOVE food still, I just have to think a bit more what I eat. Hpmh.
Honestly, not once in your post did I think about calories. I’ve always considered myself an eater. As you were talking about which bread to choose I was thinking, “heck, why even stress over contemplating? Just order both.” lol. Those breads sure do sound yummy! I’m loving all your Sigapore posts, learning so much.
I find myself always surrounded by negative food talk. When I was young it was friends who didn’t want to get fat. Now that I’m getting older it’s people who want to watch their cholesterol because they are at that stage in their life. I think you just have to remember that everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for you. So eat the way you feel suits your body/cravings best. Continue to enjoy Singapore! Thanks for being my eyes.
You’re so smart to figure out these things to recover from your ED. I wasn’t really thinking about calories or nutrition while you were showing those foods but I did kind of gross out at the extrememly runny eggs. I like runny yolks but like you, the whites should be firm! Those were practically raw! I am actually trying to lose weight (while you were starving yourself, I was an emotional eater!) so I do have to concentrate on the food I’m putting in my mouth and I’m counting calories but I’m not obsessive and always talking about it or thinking about it. Thankfully I’m surrounded by eaters so I have no one frizzling my mind about calories. I think my husband has a healthy attitude towards food. He eats what he wants until he’s full and stops. And if he wants fruit, there ain’t no talkin him into the cinnamon rolls I just made. Unfortunately his habits have not rubbed off on me as much as I’d like!
hi sophia, i’ve been following your blog for quite some time and this is my first time posting. This is a really great entry, love your distinction between foodies and eaters. I’ve a friend who’s completely paranoid over the slightest bit of fat, and while I love her dearly, it’s really a pain and a strain to eat with her when she always says things like “no butter please, no cheese please. Salad dressing on the side please. Non-fat milk, please. Non-fat fish please.” It takes all the fun out of eating and makes me feel bad if I’m eating fatty food!
HOWEVER, that said, I do believe strongly that we shouldn’t eat mindlessly either. I like your approach of “just…eat”, but every time we sit down to eat, we have a choice to make. Our food choices determine the impact on the environment, on animals who needlessly suffered, frantically struggled at the slaughterhouse and who are killed so that we can have the meal we had. I see a lot of people around me “just eating”, and not thinking about the origins of their food – I’m not talking about calories or fat here, I’m talking about asking – Where does our food come from?
I really feel we need to be more aware of where our food comes from. Tons and tons of animal excrement pollutes rivers and lakes daily, methane from cows contributes to global warming, making Singapore even hotter than it already is, and the meat we eat is injected with antibiotics, growth hormones, and so on. Yes, we do need to “just eat” without worrying about calories, fat, etc, but at the same time, we should be mindful, ethical eaters, don’t you think, Sophia?
OK That’s it, I’m coming in your suitcase next time. And I totally feel the victory at finding dumplings for so cheap! Actually no, make that room for my hubby and I in your suitcase
I loved this post! First of all I agree totally with you about preferring to hang out with people who eat “normally”; I have dumped boyfriends who are such picky eaters that they ruin the experience for me; anyway, the Singapore food expo sounds great (I will have to ask my bro is he attended it) and all these delicious munchies too;
I agree about monkeys, a friend told me that a monkey did something gross in someone’s ear once that she saw at their house. Ugh!
Even though I view myself as an adventurous eater, I have to admit that the more traditional Asian style foods just freak me out. I would still try them, but I would definitely be more hesitant.
The food expo looks like such fun! Thanks for taking us along.
Re the monkey: my husband’s fraternity had one (years ago) and it was GROSS.
I’m afraid when you get to be my age, everyone is rather hyped up on getting and eating healthy. Guess there’s nothing wrong with that…and I do live that way from day to day. But when I go out, I want to have fun, enjoy the food, the experience and want to be with people who feel the same way!
I totally agree on not surrounding yourself with people who “fat talk” alot. Number one it’s annoying, and
number two, it just brings negative energy to an aspect of life (food) that is supposed to be enjoyable!
The Singapore food expo looks fantastic! What cool vendors–not just snobby stacks of food on a plate.
Monkeys are terrifying. Period.
I don’t have very much negative food talk in my life, and I’m working to expel it from my own parlance.
I think the person forgot to take out the banana leaf, ‘cos when I order Otah Toast, it doesn’t come with the leaf. For kaya toast, you should try killiney’s at Killiney Rd or Seng Hong. Yum!
I hate Toast Box’s kopi-o kosong, but Ya Kun’s worse, don’t ever try it ya! Haha.
Seems like you’re enjoying yourself in SG, that’s good!
I do check nutrition labels regularly, but I refuse to deny myself of cravings. If you want a piece of chocolate cake, have a piece of chocolate cake…just not the WHOLE cake. Moderation is key!! About your comment on my banana bread post…I don’t see why you couldn’t sub oil for butter, let me know how it turns out for you! Oh, and you should at least give Twilight a go. Read the first one and if you’re not hooked, then I’ll let you off the hook.
The movies are rather hokey and the books are definitely teeny-bopper-esk, but they’re a good read! Quick reads too!
While reading your posts I surprisingly never think about how many calories must be in the food. I will admit that I wouldn’t eat a lot of the food but that’s because it honestly doesn’t appeal to me – I don’t eat meat or dairy, don’t like grease and don’t like things too salty. I still find it interesting and cool to see what you eat though.
I kind of like monkeys.. but those ones have an intimidating look about them. MacRitchie Reservoir is absolutely gorgeous though! I would love to walk through the trees.
Girl, you are such an amazing person. You’ve done and gone through some tremendous things. Each time you post, I am reminded that recovery is feasible. I love that you are realistic and don’t let ED get in the way. Seriously, that’s how it’s done. Anyway, I totally agree with you. I like to think of being with eaters as… an innocent relationship with food. Sometimes people think too much rather than just paying attention to the now and what we just feel like eating.
I try not to surround myself with people who talk negatively about food. Although in my recent trip to New York my friend that I was staying with was a major calorie counter, and fat-free this, low-calorie that, blah blah blah. I’m glad though that I was able to ignore that. It’s too much to stress over, you know? I’m lucky to be surrounded mostly by people who have a good relationship with food. Not just that, but a good appetite
XOXO always! Safe travels, my dear.
I never even thought about Singapore before reading these posts; now, it’s on my list of places I must see before I die. Every meal is so unique!! The Toast Box toast looks so thick and delicious.
I have to say, I never noticed how frequently my friends talk negatively abut food until I joined the blogging community. Of course there are dieters with blogs, but in general, the mentality is far more one of health than of weight loss. So many of my friends (and girls my age in general) will eat crap and then bitch and moan about how fat it’s going to make them, which is not only triggering, but downright annoying. It’s up to us to make better choices for ourselves, and that includes treats that do wonders for our state of mind. Eat good food, both health-wise and taste-wise, enjoy the things you want to enjoy, and move on. Great post!!
i love this! as a girl who lives to eat i feel like i’m surrounded by chronic dieters who always (without meaning to i’m sure) make me feel guilty when i actually do eat the food served at the party! i need to surround myself with people who eat!
It’s so true that we all need role models when it comes to food, people who eat to live as opposed to the other way round, or, even worse, don’t ‘live’ at all because they’re afraid to eat.
Coming from a family with one overweight parent (who’s constantly trying to lose by unhealthy methods such as skipping breakfast, etc.) and one anorexic parent, I don’t think I’ve ever really had a normal attitude towards food and I have no idea, practically, what one really is. Obviously it comes from examples such as your friends but I have honestly never met anyone like that! All of my fellow students seem to be on one diet or another, or when they do get something ‘unhealthy’ they feel the need to relentlessly and constantly apologise for having it…which is one of my pet hates. Either eat the thing, or don’t!
I can well imagine that those monkeys would be vicious…they must get rather cranky when they’re hungry, just like us homosapiens
I’m certainly not a ‘salad for lunch’ person but I know that I need to quit it with the fat talk…it’s just become so engrained that half the time I come out with it without even thinking
xxxxxx
I actually am around negative food eaters because I am at a ballet studio every day and unfortunately all the girls are very negative about their bodies and the food they eat. They are on constant diets and yes, it does affect me but I am able to get over what they say and focus on ME and what I have to do and what I NEED. I don’t think it matters what kind of people you eat with as long as you remember who you are and remember to stick to what you know you like/need.
BTW, the pictures of the food and everything…. beautiful! You have such an eye!
I haaaate when people engage in negative food talk. Just eat, drink and be merry! All good things in moderation
.
Thank you! The negative food talk is so destructive. I love your approach.
I think that is the best ED-recovery advice that I’ve ever read. My experience was rather mild, as far as ED goes, and it’s been years since the worst times. But I still find that I need to avoid people who engage in excessive fat-talk and surround myself by people who just naturally take care of their bodies.
“Are you surrounded by people who engage in constant negative food talks?” man…any day!
wait…what?? That wasn’t my comment!! It cut out everything but the first & last sentence
Comment take 2:
“Are you surrounded by people who engage in constant negative food talks?” man
Any day!
why why whyyyyyy I give up
LOL! Aw, sorry, Danielle. But thanks for trying! >__<
I’m actually traveling through Asia too and I am trying to follow this same mindset of eating what I want because that’s what vacation is for. I’m probably going to Hong Kong soon, so do you have any suggestions for yummy eats?
You’re right, it really does help to be around people for have positive eating habits and who talk about food in a healthy way. I also think you’re brave for eating those eggs-I don’t think I would have slurped eggs and I also like my eggs runny!
This is great. It’s so refreshing to be around people who eat without care, follow their hunger cues, and eat intuitively.
I agree you should surround yourself with people who eat and not worry about everything in their mouth…I love the pics from the expo, your friends seem so genuinely nice, My family and I eat what we want but we make sure to stay active, great post
sweetlife
Great posts about Singapore!
I live here, and it’s really refreshing to see a blogger write about S’pore rather than US
Although I don’t agree with how it’s a food heaven here…I’m vegetarian and it’s damned annoying trying to find a food court with good options, especially in those newer malls you’ve been to
But, yeah, Singaporean food is great…so tasty, cheap, full of flavour, with great variety! ( I once went to spain and lived off eggs, bread and cheese for 2 weeks. boring!)
Oh, and I live just opposite the Expo, but didn’t go to the food fair! they have stuff like on that quite often
For the record, not all singaporeans use ‘nice!’ to describe stuff! Haha, we speak good engrish, okay or not?
just to add…
you’d make a great spokesperson for singapore!!!
Thanks Magdelene! But I think you’ve been spoiled a bit by Singaporean food tee hee! If you go overseas…you will start missing Singapore a LOT! I mean, other food is nice too…but just not as “shiok” as Singaporean food.
But yeah, Singapore isn’t so good for vegetarians…most of the lovely things I love have some kind of meat in them…:-(
that is great advice and a great mantra! Amazing pictures too! Singapore looks great!
I want those garlic snacks and the kaya toast, yum!
I am surrounded at work by people who talk about dieting and calories and other such things. Its impossible to escape from and yes at times it does affect me.
I do think if I was in an environment such as on holiday with people who were foodies like you described I probably could end up breaking down my barriers and learning from them.
All the food on your blog always looks great but yes I will admit I do sit and think but how many calories are in that, how does she balance that into the rest of her day. A vicious cycle indeed.
I’ve always wanted to go to a food expo. It looks like so much yummy food! Especially those spicy garlic toasts!
Blogs have really modified my thinking for good. If not for them, I would still be stuck in the diet craze. I mean really there are people who are still stuck in the whole calorie and carb rut. My colleague for example found it hard to believe that I managed to clean and lick my whole plate. She gave me the look and started with her whole Calorie and carb speech. Not to make comments but I am better off then she is. Okay that is enough negativity for one comment.
That garlic bread looks “Amazing”
Hi Sophia!! Man I love reading about where you have been and all the stuff you’ve tried
And I love those buns with the pork in the middle, I wonder if there is a way to make that homemade? I’m going to have to google that one!
Be safe!
Jennifer
Great post doll!!
I didn’t really know how they got the sugar cane juice out! Interesting!
This looks like a lot of food and a lot of fun
Ok does that Prawn Mee have eyeballs? eeekk!
Your pic is so cute, where did you get that cute shirt and sweater??
XXOO
Thanks, Kris!
Yup the Prawn Mee has eyeballs…4 pairs of them! haha! But you don’t eat the head, of course.
I got my shirt and sweater in Hong Kong! Each one was about USD$5! Super cheap! >__<
I thought I’d died & gone to food heaven, when I read this!
)
I think most of us know when we’re eating too much or not enough, & you’re right about distancing yourself from one or the other type of friends…if you get my drift.
Prawn Mee? haven’t heard of it, but it looks good, wonder if I can find a recipe for that?
p.s. Sardines on toast are my favorite lunch, loads of Omega 3, good for you & me!
I try not to be obsessed with diets and what not. One thing I learned is to enjoy the food that than think of it as a burden of any kind.
I wish I was at the food expo. I think I’d be hitting up every stall there. hahahaha…
