Yep , it's that time of the year again , food galore at 4.30 pm at the various locations here. However , the zest for driving there and walking and smelling the charcoal fire burning the aromatic meat is not so strong any more. the kids have also lost their yearning for buka puasa food especially the burger. We all love Keropok lekor but of late this delicacy no longer is offered for sale. The reason being that fish is expensive and hence not profitable to make and sell. how sad, I love this so much especially with the special chili sauce that goes with it. just as well I guess , I have to cut down on eating oily food anyway, but ...,, I really like the taste.
Now I just drive pass the pass the pasar malam and look and ..... It's no fun when u are watching what you eat , gone are the days when anything goes and more. Always the exta bowl or extra plate " ka liu ". .... Now, It's more like , small portion will do , share share. So my advise to all is to eat while you still can or you will live to regret once you reach 50! .
Somehow food doesn't have that hypnotic control anymore. I can walk past my favorite stall and not even have a desire to eat. now I have boring oats for breakfast. Just as well I had my fair share years ago. having said that I still have strong desires to eat ice cream though. guess it's because it's forbidden food. So all these 50 over years I had to be so careful when eating anything cold. My asthma took the front seat while I was growing up. now after a good old Chinese herbalist treated my asthma ,I can at least enjoy cold dessert more often then necessary.....hahaha. Now especially so when it is so hot everyday, an ice cream would be just the thing to cool the sense.
oh well, you eat some and you just look at some. At least I got to eat some so I can't complain. life has been good. praise the Lord.
