hi there bud. Today I’m back here with another DUN DUN list of stuff I like! 

I just have this desire to tell you and a desire to make a list, and I know I’ve done these lists several times already but I just can’t stop hahaha. Typically such posts are triggered by my enthusiasm for 1 particular item in this list at the point of posting, but simply coming here to simp about one item is too lame. Do people still say ‘lame’ in this time and day? Nah bro we say it ain’t lit? no wait that’s still one generation behind. Now we only be calling things ‘bussin’ or not. Idk what it means exactly but here goes my list of stuff that’s bussin:

(Also, now I understand why recipe blogs have these long background stories. It’s just human nature to overshare hahahaha) 

Alright, here goes in no particular order:

(PS this list is applicable more so for this period of time in my life. I’ve been fussy about food lately, and my tastes have temporarily changed.)

1. Mongolian pork rib (sg zichar style) aka the trigger for today 

2. ….ok haahah this is taking me some time to think cos I actually just want to list item (1). maybe uh… oh oh, mango! 

3. I don’t think I’m into kiwi btw. Ok this isn’t supposed to be part of the list but I just wanna mention this cos I ate some this noon and the tartness got me reeling. Um ok number 3 item here is…. British strawberries. I LOVED the ones I ate in London while it was in season. I have never before had such TEXTURE and BLISS touch my soul hahahah. I don’t know about japanese ichi go since the good ones aren’t in my budget but the London ones from borough market and tesco were one of the top 10 moments in my life. I wanted to bring some back to sg to share but lol they didn’t survive the flight and were mouldy by the time we landed. I think I wasn’t supposed to soak them in water prior oops. Idk how they can hold their shape in your hands but burst into sweet nectar the moment you bite into them. it’s just so wondrous bro. 

4. (adding to this list a few days later cos HAS ANYONE HEARD OF GREEN ENVY GRAPES??? They’re so good????????? I ate some muscat recently, I’m not sure what kind, but I was kinda meh about it. Maybe I hadn’t eaten the raved kind  but US GREEN ENVY SEEDLESS are so good????? Firstly, don’t @ me when it comes to grape colour - green wins hands down. And grapes must be seedless, we’re in the 21st century. I like my grapes super firm and crunchy, and green envy is exactly that!CRISP TO THE CORE. The first bite had a taste that I had to get used to, I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s subtle. And then I just couldn’t stop eating the 1kg. In a day, I’ve managed to finish till only a handful are rationed for tomorrow. It’s got the texture of jambu? I vaguely recall green Sweet Globes tasting good too. I should’ve asked for grapes every birthday if I’d known they could be this good but ex. Ntuc grapes can go to $4-5 on promo, I don’t know what type or weight..but these 1kg green envy on promo were $17. Typically I wouldn’t buy them but the hubs did and now I’m up at night trying to find Reddit threads on best grape varieties. I wonder how Cotton Candy grapes taste.)…..

update another day later: ok, so I was only left with 3 green envy by the next day. So hub went to buy more. I asked for the cheapest but perhaps it ain’t grape season cos the only available was Pristine grapes, 454g for $10. Dang. But it boasts a “vanilla streak with zesty Granny Smith apple finish”.so I did a taste test with green envy, and I find green envy is just 10% more crisp, although Pristine tastes kinda better by 5%. It doesn’t have the strange first bite taste. But the difference is so slight, and I value texture more, so green envy is still my top choice.

Ok that’s enough for today hahahahaha I ain’t in the mood for more. 

What else can I talk about though? I haven’t been here in a while and I’m feeling chatty. 

I guess I just wna share that whenever I feel like food is meh, I begin to have a general disinterest in life. maybe it’s more a chicken and egg thing. Interest in life and interest in food. The recent discovery that there is Mongolian pork near my place just lifted my spirits cos thinking about what to eat has been very tedious recently. 

On another note, am I the same person as I was before? When I come here I feel as if I haven’t changed hahah. I talk the same way. Rather colloquially. I don’t have imagine anyone on the other side reading this but I still feel like I’m having my social needs met. As if I’m having a conversation. 

Right now I’m feeling quite happy. I’m looking forward to dinner tonight. 

I think just being able to exist and enjoy is the ultimate reason for life. It’s so wonderful when I get to do that. Like eg on holidays just doing nothing at home. I just love it. Just having this freedom to roam an unending field in my mind. I could do anything but also not do anything! F R EE DOM. I only let good thoughts come into this space right now. 

Im not like this at other times. Just recently I went on a hooha about the threat of rabies cos I chanced upon some comment about it. But that’s not me right now. The me right now is on cloud 9. 

hm what else can we talk about. well. i liked hanging by the playground or parks after school last time, especially during sunset when the weather’s cool and the sky turns a paddlepop colour. Oh dang I haven’t had a paddlepop in ages. would be nice to have one now. my all time fav is probably solero though. but maybe right now I’d go for a strawberry milk bar. I’m in a much more pastel mood now. Evenings always kinda feel endless. Just like those times I stayed alone in school last time to do absolutely nothing on my own. it’s so chill and peaceful. 

when I was a kid, I used to like edgy things like horror and happy tree friends. I thought they were fun. now, I’m super mellow and mild, and I like shows that are just feel good vibes. So I haven’t watched stuff like penthouse. I’ve instead rewatched ouran high school hahahaha. I think I was cool both as that kid and as this one though. I liked both versions of me. They fit whoever they were/are at the time. 

Fav horror probably was Shutter. The one about the camera. 

Young me preferred scaring others and laughing at horror or haunted houses but now me thinks it’s more fun being scared and and screamy hahaha. 

mmmm I still wna talk but I don’t know what about. Hm maybe I guess I can talk about…. my ideal daydream! Ok so I’m in a pastel fluffy cloud, and I’m wearing fluffy cotton candy, and I float up a palace made of candy. There are little fairies and they fly so nobody touches the food-themed surroundings ahaha. I also float. I reach out and taste a little bit of this and that. And then I float down and wake up to eat real soul food like Mongolian pork with rice. 

Oh speaking of soul food, I watched a video of slice and rice and saw them spazzing over slice’s mom’s peach cobbler. Now I wanna know how it tastes like UwU. I searched up recipes but I know I probably ain’t gna make it cos I ain’t about that hassle hahahaha. Maybe one day I’ll have a peach cobbler and also some strawberry custard strudel. 

Oh yea I could make another list of gifts I’d like to receive. I like making lists about myself hahahah. 

1. Green seedless grapes (the trigger for this list)

2. Peaches  I love peaches

3. Strawberries and mangoes 

4. Mochi (the strawberry red bean daifuku kind, or the mochi ice cream kind. I don’t like any other random mochi) btw mochi is SUCH a hassle to make. seriously. If not for how expensive and hard to find fresh strawberry daifuku are, I would never make them. My whole counter be covered in flour and sticky stuff. Plus you need hands that don’t feel no heat to knead it. I hate kneading butter into stuff. It gets everywhere.

5. some kind of healthy snack cos lord knows I need balance in my life. 

6. Adding figs here cos I thought about it while writing the next list.

7. (added days later: EXPENSIVE GRAPES like Green Envy or maybe a Roman Ruby? Never tried the latter but maybe one day if I strike Toto which I don’t ever buy , I will. hahahahah)

List of gifts I’d rather not:

1. chocolate (at some points I do have weird cravings for those fancy beautiful chocolate with decadent fillings especially fruity ones, but right this moment I don’t feel like it cos I’ve got so much choc in my fridge right now)

2. Raisins, cranberries, dried fruit or nuts. But I like dried figs. And LOVE fresh figs. 

3. Physical items. Idk they take up space and can’t be eaten. And I’m a hoarder so what comes in never goes out. 

Ok my dinner’s here. I gotta go. May come back later. Bye!
