Things I Miss Back Home

Right now, these cross my mind:

1. Sushi (where can you get it in India?!)
2. Char siew pau
3. Dim sum (sau mai! nyum2)
4. Hinava (nothing beats this traditional cuisine)
5. Nasi ayam (Juara or Ipoh)
6. Black pepper fish balls (& meat* balls) near Low Yat, BB KL.
7. Penang char kuay teow
8. Sui kaw
9. Brinjal sambal
10. Stewed egg with minced meat*

Owh, the list is going to get longer if i go on like this. See, it's all food!!
I'm a food lover but lots of my favourites are not around (I grew up loving home made and chinese cuisine). Sometimes I think my home country is a food heaven! (I know, I'm writing under influence. I'm hungry!).

However, some things that I find here are not available in my home town, or at least, not as cheap and/or nice as they are here e.g. vanilla milk shake (at Rs 15-20? it's equivalent to 80 sen - RM1.50!), Frappe with whipped cream (can get it from RM5 - less than RM10, nice ones too! Back home it's RM12 above ~imagine Starbucks! huhu), the local Chow Chow Bath is nice (Rs 15 = around RM1), you can even get egg omelette with onions, chilli n some veg at Rs 15 (this too around RM1!). Even Rotis (they don't have roti canai here but they do have paratha, puri, etc) can be bought here at Rs 10, and there'll be 2 - 3 pieces of them whereas back home you can only get 1 piece of Roti. In short, I can manage to have a very filling meal with just Rs 30 (3 pieces of puri and a 1L bottle of mineral water)

However, I still consider my homeland to be a food heaven (^_^) One can find almost any kind of food there. Price is also not that bad, you just need to know where to look and you'll definitely find a place where you get quality and/or quantity at cheap/reasonable price. Sometimes, you don't really mind paying a little bit more for that extra eating pleasure. It all depends on individual taste, right? - Hm.. right now something is crossing my mind - round, soft, cheesy ham filling.. you find it in front of Jusco at Midvalley. What's the name again?! aiya...
