my latest addiction- tau huey

Check out my latest addiction :)

That's right, Tau huey :) Some people actually beg to differ and think of it as pudding, but whatever the case, I'm addicted to it this season!

I've always been a fan of Tau Huey but I seldom get to taste good ones. Since I'm no fussy eater, I get satisfied easily just by satisfying my cravings even when they don't taste nice. So when people started talking about LB, it reached my ears and I got interested. Everyone's been raving so much about the L B at Old Changi but I just never could get myself to travel down for it. I go to some lengths to satisfy my cravings but I wouldn't really go to Changi for that matter unless it's for friendship duties. So imagine my excitement when fellow school mates brought them in for their OCIP projects. I heard Old Changi sells them at $2 per box but I think I could let it slip this time by purchasing it at $3 per box since I save on travel and queuing time (yea, apparently people queue for hours just to get it?!). And I must say, people were not exaggerating. The texture is so smooth it slides down your throat and the taste is so rich. I was officially addicted by the first mouth I took. But L B doesn't come easily so I found an easier route. They say when you want to do things fast, go to the lazy people because they always have the simplest ways out.

I was introduced to Kampong Boy. Lo and behold, they have an outlet a few steps from my home at B T market. I can't say it taste as nice, but you know what? For the convenience, for the price (it's cheaper, $1.50 / box for the original and $2.20 for the durian one which is totally worth the price) being spared from the ardous queuing, it is totally worth it. The satisfaction per utility I derive is the same.

"You cant buy happiness but you can buy Tau Huey. It's about the same. Cheers. Have a great week ahead!"

#1 my taste for starbucks



i have since rekindled my penchant for Starbucks recently.

i have never been a fan of coffee so i seldom drop by coffee joints. The genesis of my now-biweekly encounters with Starbucks dated back to when i was working in DBS 4 years ago. You'd be amazed at the number of outlets they have within the vicinity; there can be 3 just barely 2 streets apart. 'Da Jie (loosely translated as elder sister), are you free now? Can help us buy or not' was how my ex colleague, D, used to make fun of me when he felt like having afternoon tea. My superior would advocate Green Tea Frap and that was how i got to know these coffee joints serve pretty awesome drinks. And because there was an outlet right at the bottom floor (DBS tower 2 at shenton way), i acquired a taste for their drinks. when work at DBS stopped, i naturally stopped patronizing them and forgot the goodness of their taste.

Of late, hanging out with friends who simply adore Starbucks, drinking religiously every other day when we were in HK, and out of my support for the newest outlet that just spruced out of NUS grounds; my taste bud has once again been aroused by the delightful flavours of their drinks. Starbucks is the new hangout place once again where we sit and sip our drinks, watching the world go by, on lazy sunday evenings.
