i want to eat drunken prawns!!

it's my third last day in singapore, finally!

yayers.

i've been to a fish spa where masses of wriggling "doctor fish" attack your foot in a feeding frenzy and eat off all the dead skin on your feet. there are different sizes of fish, some are small and resemble wriggling worms when you look at them through the distortion of the water.
my foot is culinary heaven for these little beasties.

and others are big, 12cm long fish that really, when you think about it, could swallow your entire toe whole *gulp*

bigger sensation indeed. :P
the photo is of the fish alone because neither of us could work up the courage to stick our feet in for long enough to get a photo.

as my days here wind to a close, i think i have eaten everything that i miss. one dish that i almost forgot about though, is this one: drunken prawns.

I LOVE DRUNKEN PRAWNS!! :D i especially love watching the preparation of the dish. it doesn't take much, just a bowl brought to the table full of raw wriggly prawns. and then a container filled with chinese cooking wine is dumped into the bowl and the prawns gradually stop thrashing around and start lazily swimming in the cooking wine (LOL) until they're well and truly drunk. then they're steamed in the wine or something.. and the end result are massive prawns that are fresh, juicy, and delicious. yum.

i also met up with primary school friends.
we are all eating the most delicious bailey's cheesecake. we ate at this restaurant in wheelock place, called the Big O. i was so glad to see western food that i wanted to rape the menu. i guess it's surprising how much fun we had just sitting and chatting for 3 hours or so.. it's weird - we've all changed so much and yet when it comes down to it.. we shared the same last few years of our childhood together. there was this girl with stiff marge-simpson hair and we used to throw staple bullets in her hair to see if it would lodge in there LOL. when i visited my primary school the other day where my friend is now working, i sat and watched children shriek and play hide and seek and i thought.. gosh. it wasn't too long ago ;\ .. time flies!

visited butter factory, which is a much smaller and cosier club than zouk. sadly it was its last night at robertson quay, and the club was packed!

the funny thing that happened that night was there was this indian dancer who was probably like, the flashest dancer in the club. so he just just doing his thing when this indian girl threw herself at him (literally) like flung her arms around him and started grinding him LOL.. he tried several times to disengage her but she kept coming back and rubbing against him. it was all very funny but at the same time.. cringeworthy. i mean, as a girl.. it's like she had no self respect at all! people were laughing at her and the guy was desperately trying to peel her off him, and yet she kept throwing herself at him.. tsk :P

anyway i'm off, so take care :)
