hello all

spent 4 months in melbourne and i badly missed the char kway tiao and stuffOriginally posted by av98m:bah, I've always felt Singapore's reputation as a so-called food paradise is largely undeserved

Yes, Optus owned by Singtel.Originally posted by Rhonda:I know... but cheaper if I am. I'm already on Telstra for my home phone, and that will already give me a few benefits when I subscribe to Big Pond.
But if I switch to Telstra Mobile as well, I'll have even bigger discounts!
However, I'm a tad unwilling to do so. Doesn't SingTel have a stake in Optus?
Sarport Singapore, Inc! 
I am not sure how much benefits we actually get by combining all the bills. I won't use the home phone to make international phone calls, cheaper with just the phone card. Also, if you want to get all the benefits, you need to convert your phone rental to be homeline plus $29.95/month (if you are on the cheapest plan). Anyway, just sharing what I know with you....

Ah ha! That's where you are oh so wrong!Originally posted by hisoka:melbourne's a veyr ncie place to stay, but you will miss the food
#1 : I can cook.
#2 : If I can't cook it, I have the recipes for it and so, refer to #1 again!
#3 : I can find most ingredients here! If I can't find something, I can improvise so, refer back to #1!
#4 : There are plenty of Singapore / Malaysian / Asian restaurants here!
So, yeah... not ever returning to live in Singapore again. I can't, won't, shan't! -

Erm... heard of Singapore Chom Chom?Originally posted by hisoka:spent 4 months in melbourne and i badly missed the char kway tiao and stuff
There's also this Raffles something or other near town that sells awesome Singapore food too!
And up in Boxhill and Doncaster, lagi more Malaysian restaurants!
I managed to find all I wanted! Each time I thought, alamak, no chilli tapioca crisp / satay fish sticks / tempeh / Glory Kaya, taaa-daaaah, the next minute, I find it in a grocery shop!
Cuz my stomach's satisfied, I'm a happy camper! -
Will feel sick though!Originally posted by hisoka:

To the extent that when I first ate mee pok here after about a month, I felt queasy and sick in my stomach afterwards!
Now, I understand what sl meant when she said that each time she returns to SG to eat, she feels sick. -

i found it way better than the sad facsimile of "chinese food" there -
I've eaten all that you've listed. Don't find anything fascinating about Souvlaki's, and as for the rest, ok, tried and tested, tasty, but I have my dietary preferances.Originally posted by the Bear:yeah.. in NZ

their henchmen will make sure the area is cleared, cleaned up, and locked down even before they arrive at the hawker centres(if they ever)Originally posted by the Bear:something the elite never see.. and probably don't know exist because they don't eat at hawker centres..
