Food Friday 7 - Century Egg

Well here we are once again recapping what Laura (and friends) ate this past week.  Lucky for you all I did not eat any heads, feet, or organs this week…though I did ingest part of a century egg YUCK!  (google it because if I write it I might get a bit sick).

For this week I want to focus on 3 meals because let’s be honest here, I’m sure you all don’t want to keep hearing about my undying love for xiao long bao (aka steamed dumplings) which I of course enjoyed on Niles last visit to Chinatown, Monday night!

Korean BBQ

Per request of Niles, we enjoyed some Korean BBQ for one of his last dinners in Singapore.  We chose a buffet style restaurant which meant all the delicious beef bulgogi Ethan could possibly eat!  Our grill included: bacon, marinated chicken, beef bulgogi, onion, and garlic.  As they were cooking, we enjoyed some sesame noodles and (not in the picture) some pancake type think?  Think scallion pancake – esk.  Once the meat and veggies were cooked, we took them off the grill and started assembling our lettuce wraps.  My favorite way to chow down was in this order – lettuce, white rice, sauce, meat, and maybe a piece of kimchi.  Yum!

Food Friday (Thursday) 5

Here we go again!  Let’s take a look at what Laura ate this past week. Also I apologize for the earlier than Friday post as I will be headed out on my first trip Friday so you'll have to deal with these yummy eats until I get back!

In the same nut-free fashion, Niles and I made our own stir-fry noodles.  Nothing too fancy here, we used Chinese la mian noodles and spinach noodles.  I have to say I’m digging the whole fried egg on top style that Singapore has introduced me too.  Great way to get an added bit of protein!

Food Friday 4 - No Nuts Please!

It’s that time of the week again…Food Friday!

I know that most of my readers have probably come to dread this weekly post but I promise you this week doesn’t contain any stomach churning items.  My goal each week is to capture some of my daily meals plus try 1 new thing each week.  I have stuck to my goal so far and lucky for both of us, my new food was something that my fellow westerners would enjoy as well.

                      

    

Chinatown Mid Autumn Mooncake Festival

On a side note- you probably know that my boyfriend is visiting Singapore right now.  While I am so very happy to have him around, his food allergies have made eating a sometimes stressful event.  My boyfriend is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.  This isn’t such a big deal in the states as it’s a common allergy and people are very much aware of how to handle it.  But the nut allergy hasn’t really hit Asia yet.  As eating out is a common (and cheaper) pastime in Singapore I asked my coworkers to write Chinese on a piece of paper that we could carry around.  This is what they came up with:
