throwing caution to the wind

when my last blood test results showed that my blood cholesterol, blood sugar and triglyceride levels were all in the good range and the heart specialist rescheduled my appointment to once in nine months, i decided to abandon my self-imposed restriction on food rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. i am back to indulging in food like kong bak pau, pig trotters and char kway teow.

yesterday, i decided to give myself a treat. went down to foch road to try the pig organs' soup that people are talking about. the shop is at the corner of beatty lane and foch road, just a stone throw from lavendar food court. had a bowl of soup minus the rice for $3.30. the stall also sells pig trotters in black vinegar. i was told you should try their meat balls.

the chilli sauce makes a big difference when it comes to eating 'tee huang kiam chye'. remember we used to go for it after our track and field committee meetings at bukit batok secondary many years ago. jim kee, the track and field adviser would treat us to pig organs' soup at this coffee shop at bukit batok avenue 4, near the bukit batok east community club.
