Marie biscuits dipped in tea sweetened with condensed milk - the kari pup
guy at the corner of Selegie Road near the old Krishna Vilas was so good,
I even dreamed I was buying kari pup from him last night.

The joy of peeling off each layer of the layer cake and eating it -
drinking chendol from the street stalls - the "frog's egg" drink - chin
chow chwee and the boy who announced the chee chong fan with his wooden
clappers and sing-song.

Going home this year for sure. Gotta make sure boyflen can get fresh
durian. Otherwise he will run off with someone who provides fresh durian
on a regular basis. %^)
