If you've never tried nasi lemak, char kway teow or roti prata, now is your chance. The overseas Singapore Unit (OSU) is featuring 12 iconic Singaporean hawkers at the all day fest this Saturday (21 April) in Central Park. The food, entertainment and arts are all designed to give Singaporeans a feel good moment about their home town and you can benefit! Go and dig in - and tell me how good it is!
And if you're feeling a bit less rich, there is the poor man's black velvet which is Guiness and hard cider! Lovely combination - but NEVER order this in a proper English bar. They'll throw you out (for mixing Guiness with anything!)
So what did you eat? What did you enjoy most? :-)
The sound of my husband grinding fresh beans. It's my own personal alarm clock.
Makes me hungry to watch, but there's too much ambient noise to hear the meat braising.
I can eat an H&H everything with Esa Bagel tunafish salad anytime. Like right now.
1) Haggen Dasz decafe coffee, not too frozen. I find Ben & Jerry's just too sweet these days.
2) Whatever is on sale and CREAMY ONLY. I like flipping back and forth between the two to reflect on the differences.
3) Love a good Bialy and always feel like I'm eating fewer calories because there is less bread.
4) Whipped is kind of gross, but easier to use.
5) Sauerkraut and Mustard. That's it.
6) DARK CHOCOLATE! Before I met my husband I didn't distinguish. He really preferred dark and now I can't stomach milk chocolate.
7) I only use sweet butter.
8) Tough Call! I love pastrami, but a corned beef Rueben is one of my favorite sandwiches. I'd have to say pastrami.
9) Onion Rings hands down. I hate french fries.
10) Latte for me please!
11) Crispy bacon - pliant bacon is disgusting!
12) Dark meat, that's where the flavour is!
This dish guarantees stinky breath but it's oh so good. Nothing beats fighting over the wobbly slices of century egg with chopsticks fashioned out of giant toothpicks, and stabbing the last piece of "you tiao" triumphantly! I love mine with a crisp crust yet yieldingly chewy on the inside.

Consummate eater Leslie over at ieatishootipost highly recommends the rojak at East Coast Lagoon Fishing village:

As well as the one over at Old Airport Rd Food Center:

Both places take the time to grill the you tiao over a charcoal grill (as opposed to a toaster oven), which makes it incredibly fragrant =)
The sound of the dishwasher, followed by the pop of a wine bottle opening. That means the kitchen is clean and we're ready to go outside and relax on the deck by the lake.
I love the sound of ice tinkering in a glass, the sound sauce makes as you pour it over a hot stir fry, and the perfect sound of a really sharp knife chopping vegetables on an old wooden chopping block.

Making Stock of the Situation
A blog for penniless gourmets
thanks to PETA, i can now hear live crawfish screaming as they are dropped into boiling seasoned water. when the potatoes, corn and mushrooms join in, it is a wonderful sound.
I agree with Livingtoeat: The soft bubbling of a pasta sauce that's been simmering all day.
Onions sizzling in a pan. The sound as they first hit the hot oil--wow! Of course, it could be the smell that aids the sense of hearing. ANything sizzling sounds good to me--such a great onomatopoetic word!
As Julia put it, the "quiet cooking noises" of a roasting chicken. Also, the squeaky mushrooms in the skillet, as L'Ecole mentioned. And the gurgle and hiss of the coffee maker when the coffee's just about done.
That pop, squeal then sizzle when one of my homemade sausages bursts slightly on the grill.
not a cooking sound but the first crunchy bite of a crispy apple... and anything in the kitchenaid b/c anything im making in there is going to be good.
