Welcome newbie. You haven't caught us on our finest day, it must be said. Many of us here have happy memories of Singapore and some of us have been Arsenal fans for 2 years or more. WES loves Singaporean food but only if it's served from an all-u-can eat buffet in a cheap hotel in Dubai. Crazy Canucks, eh? Whaddya gonna do?

who will feign friendship with you in order to plunder your very bowels and leave you ruined and sobbing. Unless, of course, you are that way inclined in which case I'm sure you'll have a pleasant and meaningful relationship.

I personally find Straits cuisine rather emetic btw.

I watched a bloke in a shack in Malaysia making the rotis once. (Actually he let me have a go. It was rather fun.) Anyway, the secret lies in the 4 or 5 litres of oil in each roti...

Maybe they gave you the authentic Indonesian nasi goreng.

Indonesian food is... odd.

The Dutch are mental for it, though. All I can say about it is that there can't be many Indonesians with peanut allergies because every fecking thing is full of peanuts.

I've had some amazing Indonesian meals in Holland. I remember a dish of fried bananas covered in a tomato sauce with fried eggs on top that gave me some pause for thought.

delicious and that was indeed a small Indonesian pit-stop just off the the Leidseplein in A'dam in '79 and then again in 92 when I returned and found it remarkably unchanged, when I thought I had discovered Nirvana on Earth in that city.

Do you know, I know people who have spent extended periods of time in Amsterdam and never even tried a schpliff. One fella who worked there for a year! How is that possible?

I've had that



In Spain



Quite a lot. It's a staple part of the dinner rotation menu at the family home. I had always assumed it was a Spanish dish. They serve it with rice as well.

Christ, I'd have thought Spaniards had more sense.
