Hi Maria-Yes having a website is a good start for sure. Helps those of us who like to do some preliminary research I did avoid them completely thankfully. Oh how annoying, tuna in the necklace!

I’ve tried frozne roti, the kind in a large roll and also the ones flattened out and they’re both good but there’s just something about making bread that can’t be beat.

I had a bit of the chicken from the chicken rice and the rice itself but the chicken was sitting in the laksa so I couldn’t taste it plain and also I love the ginger/sesame oil sauce that they give with it so I want to try all three together, the chicken, rice and sauce.

It does seem like the world is Ramsay crazy, the tickets to his shows at the Good Food Show went like crazy and they’ve extended the hall for more seats and upped the price!

Ooh thanks for the heads up about the halo halo! I’m going to look for those jars and make it as a surprise for my husband. He’ll love it

Ahhh ok no I don’t mind, especially since you put it so nicely. To be honest, I didn’t know whether people like it or not so it’s great to hear feedback that it’s noticed and liked.

I found this from Wikipedia as I had no idea about where Laksa was from: “Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture, which is a merger of Chinese and Malay elements found in Malaysia and Singapore.” So yes Malaysia and Singapore!

Oh (cringe), I dread those scarlett splashes myself, especially oily one’s.. that end up being amber/orange splashes once settled onto your nice top. I hope you managed to avoid them completely? Me having an ample bosom.. I get everything on my chest. eg. Today for lunch my girl and I went to Subway after my Weight Watchers meeting (she has today and tomorrow off). I decided on a cheesy/tuna/toasted 6″ creation today.. yes, melted mozarella and then tasty cheese on top afterwards. Anyway.. I had a black, chunky beaded/faceted necklace today..and I looked down and saw some tuna had made a home for itself inbetween two beads.

I love roti too.. especially the soft, warm chewiness of it. I think it’s great that you’ve made it yourself! I had no idea it had that much complexity to it though.. with clapping motions and all!

I’d love you to clear up some confusion for me.. I wasn’t too sure what you meant by vowing to try the chicken next time. I thought you had tried it, hence it appearing in the post? I feel like I’ve missed something.. soz!

I’d like to try some of those sweets you described too. When something is so popular (by the sounds of it those cakes are very popular!).. I’m the type of person that has to get hold of some! I’m like that with Gordon Ramsay’s latest book ‘Playing With Fire’ right now. He’s on TV each week so the book is very popular on eBay of course..and used copies are going for between $40 and $50.. it’s too much! I’m determined to get a copy for less than $15.. which is what I paid for “Humble Pie”.. incl postage.

I’ve been meaning to tell you (your dessert here reminded me)..that at my local Asian grocers I saw big jars of ‘Halo Halo’ mix.. for the drinks. I wouldn’t have known what Halo Halo was before I came to your site! The jar had layers of fruity looking things in it - over 1kg from memory..and around $7?

I noticed this post you didn’t necessarily feature the names of the food directly under the photographs with the prices.. which I like.. and as you inspired me to do recently. I hope that didn’t sound like a whiney-complaint.. it’s just me noticing these details.. and since I missed it this time.. (even though you *did* give us the info).. I just thought I’d mention that I’m a fan of the way you had it before. Reading the current posted comment (re: the map.. hehe.. you might be feeling pounced upon right now)? Hehe.. hope not

I found with my YouTube video’s.. I have one video in particular that stands out among all of them and has had thousands of views and over 70 comments (when I normally get between 2 and 7 comments and between 50 and 150 views). On that video I have received praise..but also criticism.. and I’ve actually welcomed the criticism (to a degree) because it has made me feel a bit famous.. as ridiculous and as far from the truth as that is. I know that celeb’s are always analysed and critiqued.. I do it myself, I talk to the TV and give my opinion! So to get people asking me “Why didn’t you do this or that.. or include this or that?”… has made me aware of the popularity of that video and the attention it’s received. So it’s a good thing..and I hope you don’t feel put out by me mentioning the captions?

Is Laksa originally from Malaysia..? I’m ignorant in that area as a lot of Asian food blends into one for me..and I know that a lazy approach/viewpoint.. though I have more knowledge with Japanese food because it’s a favourite.
