*921 - cross-continent cravings

Missing (in no significant order) ...

- Roasted duck
- Cockles, preferably in either laksa or char kuay teow
- Satay in all available meat variations
- Chai tow kueh, white, not black please
- Kaya toast + soft boiled eggs + hot milk tea
- Chicken rice with a side of liver, no gizzards
- Hokkein mee, a default favorite
- Baby kailan
- Nasi lemak rice with good sambal
- Nasi bryani
- Roti prata (plain, egg, or cheese) with a heaping milo dino
- Chilli crab with fried mantou's to mop up the sauce
- Har cheong kai (fried prawn paste chicken)
- Muah chee cos it's fun and chewy
- Oyster omelette
- Ice kachang with attap seeds, no red beans
- $1 roadside icecream blocks held in a slice of colorful bread
- Generic "economy rice" food: I always get eggplant or lady's fingers or egg tofu

... and the fact that one can get a heaping plate of most of the above for just a couple of dollars! :) Shiok.

I can get some of that stuff here, but it's just not the same when you're eating homey food away from home.

Oh, Singaporeans--I would say that there's a foodie innately built into each one of us.
