too much yummy food out there like cheap pizzas from wood-fired ovens, greek food, and stuff from the local greasy spoons like steak sandwiches..
why would i want to go get ripped off blind for crap they call "chinese food" ?
I ate the so-called Singapore Chicken Rice once
Put it this way.... the worse tasting Chicken Rice you can find in SG taste 100x better than the crap I ate back in Perth -
I think they went wrong with the curry power
They should just make curry and drench noodles with it
Originally posted by the_don:thickyellow noodles (the kind in our prawn noodles) fried with some meats then u dump a handful of curry powder on it. fry for 1 min and mix well.
the end result is yellow noodles coated with curry powder. one word - SUCKS -
