This One's for you, MJ

This post is mostly for MJ because lately I have encountered a couple of S'porean meat products that I know she would enjoy. And if you think it is unfair that she gets a post all to herself, well...I haven't heard of any of you buying tickets to come and visit. (Buckler, if you read this, I don't know enough about the pickling scene to write you a tribute post, but I do know that they have pickles available at Subway here. Oh, and I get great pickeld veggies with this pineapple rice dish at the cafeteria in my building.)

Anyway, the foods that make me think of quasi:
1. Satay. They have it here everywhere. I haven't tried it yet, because I have been slightly opposed to satay since you made me eat at that Indonesian place in heska Praha (on our first night after that pervy old man flashed us maybe?) where there were fruit flies all over our bottle of wine. We ordered satay and it was good, but It gives me the creeps thinking about those flies. I'll try it when you're here though, I promise.

2. Jerkey. The jerkey here is called barbeque pork, but its not like anything you'd find back home. I pictured pulled pork, when in fact it is served in thin sheets. It is sweet and delicious. The Wendy's brought me to what they claim is the best BBQ pork stand in the city, and I believe them, because they are the Singapore experts. Quasi, I will bring you there. I remember your love affair with jerkey a few years ago & I know you will love this stuff.

As a side note, the Wendy's have been making an appearance for the last few posts. Let me just clarify so that you don't get the wrong idea. Their names aren't Wendy, and I unfortunately can't take credit for that nickname, but they are my new S'porean pals who are a great time and know everything about everything in this city.
