Photos help to capture our memories in remarkable ways, sparked by a dash of color or a visual feast. The memories come flooding back like a tidal wave. These are my memories of food - some of the very best. They make me laugh. Sometimes we forget what we have, because of what we want. These are my memories.

Time Travel: Pandan Nasi Lemak, Tanjong Pagar (June 1st)



I met up with Seow Hiong at Tanjong Pagar to sample some Pandan Nasi Lemak last Monday. The Tanjong Pagar MRT station is set out very much like Raffles Place MRT station - a mini-labyrinth of underground retail shops, food outlets, etc. I have not been to Tanjong Pagar MRT station for years - it has changed so much. The Tanjong Pagar Food Court and market has not changed a bit. It looks clean and well-maintained. The fruit stalls are selling a brisk trade with fresh seasonal fruit currently longans and lychees. SH and I met at one of the staircases leading up to the food court. Of course, I was waiting at the wrong one! Thank goodness he found me and we walked up to my food heaven. I did my pupillage at Loh & Partners around the road at Neil Rd, so I have fond memories of the nasi lemak at this food court. SH recommended the soy braised duck with giblets. Nasi Lemak was good, and the duck even better. After placing my order for nasi lemak, I noticed there was a relatively long queue forming at a second Pandan Nasi Lemak stall. I hate it when that happens....
