i have started a list of the myriad things that i need to accomplish before i leave in fall. a lot of the actual important stuff has gone on there, but what i need right now is a column for Things to Eat (don't be bored. it was inescapable). for a start:

* joo chiat tau kwa pau; the famous one at the corner
* as much island creamery as i can manage without excessive guilt
* ditto with spring rolls from teck kee (this is totally fs's fault for getting me addicted to them all those years ago)
* ghim moh raw fish porridge, and chwee kway.
* beer and chili dogs at charlie's in changi village. (i know this is a bit ridiculous but it's a nostalgia thing and i can get nasi lemak and goreng pisang while i'm there as well)
* kway chap at lau pa sat
* east coast road satay bee hoon, and satay, and milo dinosaurs
* chomp chomp, of course, for everything (this one can wait for minz)
* that brilliant dum chicken briyani in little india (i may have to ask the father to show it to me again, because i can't remember its name)
* bencoolen street prata
* cheesecake parfait in cafe rosso in holland v
* en, and the sake bar

(definitely tbc)
