I've started to have a new interest in food. That could be THE turning point for a skinny guy like me. Let's hope. Since my domestic helper left, I've been forced to explore a little more since food wasn't going to magically appear when I was hungry or be waiting at home at the end of the day.
My steady job at Universal Studios has also given me the chance to pamper myself a little more and in the process, revive my palate. I used to think I had a poor appetite and wondered how people could eat so much even when they were full. Now I know it's just that I have expensive taste. Boy! Put good food in front of me and I become a bottomless pit. I recently ate at two great places in one day. Marché at Vivo City Singapore is a delightful haven of festive food fare (paella pictured right). They've improved their selection too, since their move from the Heeren. Fiesta at the Festive Hotel at Resorts World Singapore has perfected Brazilian fine dining to a tee (appetizer pictured far right).
A recent musical presentation (pictured far above) about food also inspired me to get my own hands dirty in the kitchen. I found my way to the monthly Farmers' Market at Loewen Gardens (in the rain) and bought some gigantic organic mushrooms. Back home, I searched the internet for the best way to store them, stored them, took a short nap, watched a "how to make mushroom soup video" on YouTube and made my most favourite mushroom soup to date! Voila... I've become a mini Julie Powell from "Julie and Julia" - blogging and all.
