  I like the siew mai from Tiong Bahru pau at Toa Payoh....a big siew mai full of meat for just 60c. Long queues are expected at peak hours.

  btw, they operate using the queue system right, where u get a queue ticket for ur orders and then u wait for the LED board to light up showing ur number?

  I like their branch at Maxwell and the one at the Esplanade!
  
  Somehow, I always get lots of liao in my bowl of porridge at the Esplanade! Maybe, they recognise me and there was this one or two occasions a long while back when my colleague and I went there in our nursing uniforms after evening duty.
  
  The woeful call of hunger drowns out all other logic and senses!

  Huh, u like pau with meat that tastes like cardboard?
  
  I remember as a kid, and eating pau and siew mai at this pau shop at Kek Sng Kio (can't remember the St name, near Rochor) - they will dish out 4 siew mais on a metal plate, and u can choose to finish the whole lot or not. If u eat less than 4, they will take back the remainder and serve them later to other customers. Their big pau was fabulous...without the dark soya sauce type. Dunno where to find this type liao.

  Wow I can't even pronounce that word LOL. Pilaf sounds familiar but can't recall what kind of food is that.... Rice? Edith Piaf? *confused*
  
  I've decided that to initiate myself into cooking, I shall cook one dish and buy the rest. Not as daunting as preparing the whole dinner, saves on cleaning too. Tonight it is steamed chicken wings LOL
