@louisbosco Singapore has the most odd looking parking lots I’ve ever seen. Looks like cars just park randomly where ever they want…

[louisbosco]

@goosehd hahaha you should see it during peak hour in the city..

[louisbosco]

day off. errands to run.

first off, picking up my triumph from servicing. the local dealer carries triumph, Guzzi and Vespa.

next up dropping the car off for a wash. happen to spot a very nice M4 (CSL?) there too..

[louisbosco]

onwards to OGL/ Rugged Gentlemen Shoppe to pick up my red wings I sent off for resoling by Dr.Sole.

made use of the studio to take some photos of a jacket and of course, a fit pic.

Killing it so far @louisbosco

with the Lunar New Year just gone by, life has been hectic.

The Food

Ever since I've moved back, I've been helping my grandparents, these past couple years only my grandfather, with the food prep needed. Also learning to dissect and fillet a fish. We use Pomfret, a fish generally found in South Asia. the small ones are the every day fish. The bigger ones have to be pre ordered for special occasions. This one here is about 1.5 to 2kgs which we use 4 over 2 days for about 20 people

NgohHiang translated to fried meat rolls. a staple at our new year dinner. Basically, minced meat, prawns, egg, water chestnuts and crispy dried flat fish are mixed, then wrapped in beancurd skin to be steamed and then deep fried.

Traditionally, most people have steam boats. Yonks ago when I was a kid, we used charcoal steamboats. As the elders got old and time gone by, most people have electric ones with some kind of hot plate for BBQ. Food is prepared and you cook them in pork bone stock. Dishes consist of meat, fish, seafood and whatever you can think of. The soup at the end usually ends up sweet and delicious with all the food being cooked through it.

Not too mention snacks, for nibbling while your relatives gossip about their lives over the past year. This little bake cheese snack being one of my fav.

Bonus question why did the chicken cross the road?
I was very close to ending a generation..

Been trying out the time lapse feature on the insta360. but I realised it's better to speed up a normal video as there's much more information..

YouTube has listed copyright due to the soundtrack I added. it might be blocked in some places, I hope not. but I've got no idea how to get around this..

Bonus points for using "Yonks".......:-)

going through that spiral parking garage ramp was pretty slick with the rotating camera.

tell me more about those baked cheese snack things though?

[louisbosco]

@pechelman Thanks. most of it was the insta360 editor doing its work. I just input the directions on the other bits..

I wish I could know more about those cheese tarts! all I know is, every year I look forward to having them at my aunts place. something about my uncle's old Indonesian business partners giving it to him every year during Lunar New Year. I haven't been able to find anything close to it anywhere else.

my guess is baked cheddar cheese stuff. Salty, creamy, flaky and addictive..

[louisbosco]

@pechelman this would be the closest

thanks @louisbosco!
Those sound fantastic. Will add to the list of recipes to make.

@louisbosco cool update, I enjoyed reading about the food. Your part of the world I know next to nothing about, so I learned today.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia interesting idea. perhaps I could share more about hawker culture when I get the chance..

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco that would be cool because I have no idea what that is my friend.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia basically, street food. South east Asia was built on street food culture..

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco thats rad

[louisbosco]

Suns out. Buns out.. ️

The Wabbidashery is serving you well!

@louisbosco that’s funny—as so often occurs, we have our version of that in the south of the USA
