Well not to fret! The foodie is back! And this time with much much more new food recommendations for you ranging from steak (thank you laoda on this one!) to Singapore’s best char kway teow and bar chor mee.
But first, let’s rewind back to a week after Chinese New Year.
The night before my parents left for Shanghai after their CNY visit my aunt insisted that we have dinner at Long Beach Restaurant IMM since she had a 20% discount voucher (which turned out couldn't be used). After some dispiriting chili crabs my grandmother decided to pay a visit to Giant hyper mart.
The genius began when my cousin started chasing my sister around the hyper mart with a bottle of apple juice for some weird reason shouting "EH, YOU WANT OIL OR NOT??” Then I realised why - the bottle of apple juice bared an uncanny resemblance to oil. The evil plan hatched.

| Step Number One: Place the apple juice on the shelf for cooking oil | Step Number Two: Turn the bottle around so as not to reveal the apple picture | Taadaa! It just looks like one of the other oil bottles |
Me: <Eh! popo! come here!>
(Grandma wobbles over)
Me: *pointing to the apple juice* <This brand very good leh! Very healthy! Fry things very nice!>
(Grandma scrutinizes the bottle and tries unsuccessfully to read the bottle label. She turns the bottle over and frowns at the apple picture)
Grandma: <Huh what is this? Apple oil ah?>
*<> translated from cantonese
I snapped and ran in between the toilet paper aisle and started laughing hysterically that I didn't even hear what she said next. Oh well who said senior citizens were old and boring? Haha.
