Food Tag

 I owed Jean and Jan this tag.  I’m feeling much better today so I shall be good and complete the tag.

My All Time Favorite is SASHIMI

 Fresh, Sweet Sashimi…………. yum yum!!!!  Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy primarily consisting of very fresh raw seafoods, thinly sliced into pieces about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide by 4 cm (1½ inches) long by 0.5 cm (¼ inch) thick, and served with only a dipping sauce (like soy sauce with wasabi paste and thinly sliced ginger root, or ponzu), and a simple garnish like shiso and shredded daikon radish.  Salmon’s is the best!  Followed by yellow tail! BUT!!!! I’ve to stay away from this delicacy for the next 7 months until i deliver….  it’s such a torture……………………

The tag indicates to state my favorite food in my state or country.  Though Sashimi is available in Singapore it’s not considered a local food, it’s japanese (obviously).  I shall then be greedy and state another 2 local dishes that I love right now can?  I’ve got food all over my mind.  Symtops of craving?  *shrugs*

My All time Local Favorite – Fishball noodles!!

Fishballs are traditionally made from raw fish which is vigorously mashed, stretched and kneaded in a wooden bucket. The mix is then flavoured and shaped into bite-size balls. When cooked, they are soft and slightly rubbery.  Served either dry, with soup on the side, or with the soup already in, fishball noodles come with toppings such as sliced black mushrooms, minced pork, seaweed and spring onion or just fishballs with slices of fishcake.  You can choose from a variety of noodles like Bee Hoon (rice vermicelli), Mee ( yellow wheat noodles), Kway Teow (flat rice noodles) or Mee Pok ( yellow wheat noodles that look like fettucini).

My family used to sell fishball noodles so technically I grew up chewing fishballs and I never get sick of this dish.  I love it with lots of vinegar!

One more one more!!!  Ever since I got pregnant, I kept craving for spicy food, thus the next natural choice is Nonya Laksa!!

Thick white vermicelli with fishcake, prawn and cockles in spicy coconut based soup. A classic Peranakan/Nonya dish that comprises of Chinese noodles with Malay and Indian spices.  Normally I will slurp up the cockles and I don’t mind others throwing their cockles into my bowl….. now… sigh…. I have to eat my laksa with cockles…..  if someone can reassure me that it’s safe for me to eat the cockles i’ll run out to get a bowl with double servings of cockles NOW!

I won’t tag anyone else.  Cos most of the folks I know have been tagged with this.  I know there are plenty of food lovers out there, feel free to do this tag too!
