We have just received a gift package from Singapore crammed with wonderful goodies. Gnome and I don’t miss much of our old life but we do miss real Chinese food and snacks. So this is really special and in actual fact, Gnome was one who introduced me to Straits Chinese food (He is after all a Straits Chinese Gnome and I am a Scottish Munchkin).
Confusing or What?
This Asian region extends from Penang through the Straits of Malacca to Java and Singapore is located in the middle of this area. Because of the diversity of culture, there are influences from Chinese, Malay and Thai cuisine which makes the food very interesting, spicy and delicious.
Here are some pictures of our yummies:
When you bite into one of these wasabi green peas, there is a wasabi explosion inside your nose which is kinda exhilirating.
The Belizean Post Office guy opened this box up for inspection thinking that it would have something very expensive in it. He was rather shocked to see that this plush looking box had cakes in it!
This one is actually called Yamaguchi Peanut Snack…the caption below is just our own generic term.
This is creamy, foamy tea which is famous in Singapore. This one is our all time favourite tea:
And last but not least. 5kgs (10lbs) of lotus seed paste to make our own mooncakes for the rest of the year. We love big catering packs!!
A Big Thankyou to our Singapore connection!! We are really delighted with the generous gift of yummies!!
