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.

Wisma Atria: Thye Hong Hokkien Mee






We are such creatures of habit. Yes I am talking about you too. Don’t deny you are among the hundreds if not thousands who queue for Hokkien Mee at Thye Hong in Wisma Atria. Is it a sign of progress or sophistication - when you are embarrassed about enjoying a plate of wonderfully cooked noodles just because it is located in an air-conditioned shopping mall, it is part of a chain of food outlets (Food Republic) and it is a tourist attraction. Or is it just food elitism? Stalls with A grade rating cannot possibly make food taste good! This is a dilemma for foodies in Singapore – can clean and hygienic food taste great? Tasting good is not a problem, but great? So I am coming out of the closet and declaring that I have eaten many times at Thye Hong, queued up multiple times and I would continue to eat, queue, eat and queue. I am not ashamed to say that I really really like the Hokkien Mee at Thye Hong in Wisma Atria Food Republic! Ta-da! (By the way, the Hokkien Mee at Far East Plaza next to William’s rojak is quite good too, and it is cheaper than Thye Hong. And no queues.)
