Inaugural post

This is my inaugural post.

Maybe I'd write something that will explain how to read my blog since I would not have a camera to show the full glory of the delicious food/drink (oh, I know this is abhorrent to any flogger!) and I cannot drive to all the yummy food places (which means I have to write about food/drinks wherever I am consuming said food/drink). This would require the reader to exercise a great deal of creative imagination (while being cruelly tormented whether to believe my ramblings or not) and an inordinate amount of patience. For this, I can only dare to offer the reader substantial descriptions of the atmosphere/place/food/drink/people and a "whatever-I-can-say" personal review.

Like any other Malaysian, I adore lip-smacking food and often go hungry at all kinds of weird hours (such as during the regular dentist visit for my brace-tightening when my tummy would growl at the thought of eating pan mee nearby my apartment). I have since shedded my braces for a retainer which I am inclined to put at the bottom of my bag - it's really a pain-in-the-ass having to pull out the retainer in full public view and the delicious smells of all kinds of food assaulting my senses at the same time. What I have to suffer for beautiful teeth (and the dentist recently told me my buck teeth are there to stay for good albeit at a nicer-proportioned angle). Hmpfh.

I must add that I wear a hearing aid (cannot hear well although I can speak fairly well) and am a "white chocolate banana" ( cannot understand or speak Bahasa Malay and Mandarin/Cantonese/whatever dialect) which has led me to several unique scenarios when ordering my fix.

You are still reading at this point? Congratulations for your admirable patience! (have a San Francisco Extreme Latte on me!)

That said, I welcome you to my humble blog which hopefully will compel people to get up from their couches and make the ardous journey to that mouth-watering place which I have consumed said food/drink. Of course, this is a huge presumption on my part.

Last but not least, I owe the existence of my blog to Mr. Jackson Kah (of the wonderful ^^Living in Food Heaven^^ blog) and the author of the amazing "a whiff of lemongrass" blog. Your extremely delightful-to-read blog entries and stupendously jaw-dropping beautiful photos have inspired me to set up this blog despite being a technosaur and lack of neccessary accessories ( a car and a camera). Thank you for keeping me company during the past few weeks of waiting for official training in my new office (I am expected to occupy my time while having no work to do at all) and also thanks to all the other wonderful floggers listed on Jackson's and lemongrass' blogs.

And now let the good times roll! =)
