Behold, World

  1. i have a request. to food scientist/nutritionist or any food expert out there, can someone please invent chili jam already? chili is good for health (a moderate amount of it), everyone knows that. so why hasn't anyone come up with it yet? all the girl want is some spicy good red chili spread on my bread. instead i had to conciliate with some green paste that marketeers called it Kaya (see below) but it is in essence just sugary paste with green coloring. i want my money back, and i want some good ol' Kaya. but even more so, i want the chili jam i'm talking about!!
  2. the other day while waiting to cross the road, i leaned against the lamp post. but as soon as i moved away a splatter of bird shit fell onto the ground exactly where i was standing just a fraction of a second ago. i looked up and saw the glorious butt of a pigeon. it must have had a good meal and it all just came out, in the form of greenish liquidy mush with white spots in it. healthy bird. no constipation at all. i envy the bird... but back to the main story. i was really lucky to have avoided it. or else, it would've been the third time in my life so far to have bird shit fall on me. (the first time was right on my head--on the first day of chinese new year, no less -___-)
  3. have i mentioned my favorite sandwich at McD's has always been Fillet o Fish? well, at least in Malaysia that's my favorite. the fillet over here, ironically, is nothing in comparison to the ones back home. why is that? even the one in russia is so much better! :(  i'm never going to McD's for that fillet anymore. hmph. and oh, for the record, eating carl's jr's fish and chips is more like drinking oil. i think i just clogged a few of my arteries because of that oil i consumed. :((
  4. i have a confession to make: i haven't been keeping my vegetarian vow, at all. :( i should start being good again. *guilt-strickened*
Footnote: Kaya is also commonly known as coconut jam, made from coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, flavored with screwpine extract. it's the screwpine that makes it so flavorful and exotic. it can be golden brown or greenish in color, depending on the amount of screwpine extract used and the extent of caramelization of it. i think. anyway, google it if you wanna learn how to make it. :) [edited: if you succeed in making it, please share some with me. :)) ]

    Btw you should really try it with some brie or camembert: melt the cheese slightly and then top it with chili jam.

    Serve on crackers.

    zewt: isn't it?! but i don't think its just california. it's highly likely the whole of US is the same. and they don't have bubur ayam in their mcDs! :D
