I used to lick all the powdered sugar off them as a kid! Then put them back in the packets without telling my mum :D
And the last time my grandma saw me eating them, she eyed me and my belly carefully and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Crunchy rice at the bottom of the pot!
Did that yesterday. Lined a casserole pot with lightly-buttered rice on the base and sides, filled it with layers of raw marinated chicken and vegetables, sealed with another layer of rice, then put the lid on and baked on 420 degrees for 15 min, then 350 degrees for 30 to 45 min.
And read some Harold McGee while waiting.
Star anise. And usually in a Peranakan dark soy chicken dish, with kecap manis, ginger slices, garlic cloves, cinnamon, cloves and black peppercorns
My family's a big fan of the white or 'snow-skin' crusts, or the pandan-scented green skins. And these hideously indulgent ones with sugared crytallised pork fat!
I always look forward to your entries, Ling. Thanks for evoking nostalgia yet again!
Instead of buying a salad spinner, I roll up wet salad leaves in a large kitchen towel, hold the 2 ends together and spin it around over my head in the back garden. Gets all the water out, works a treat. Centrifugal force and what not. Although I've come close to twisting my shoulder from over-enthusiasm :) cue taken from jamie Oliver!
When i was a kid, my barbie dolls, just to see what would happen...
Seriously, bananas still in the skin, split lengthways down the middle to slip some chocolate in, wrap it all up in foil and onto the grill. Delicious!
I've started to use Serious Eats as an example of good blog and blog writing for training new bloggers at work :) Grats on the usability.
Gastrokid has some recipes and great articles
I suggest the Chomp Chomp hawker centre in my hometown Serangoon Gardens. People travel from across Malaysia to eat there!

LOL I thought I was the only one that dipped french fries in my Frostys -- milkshakes and sundaes too. Yay!!!
When I went to McDonald's as a kid, I used to throw 4-5 french fries in my saimin* and fish them out later. They were soggy, but for whatever reason, I loved it.
* Hawaiian version of ramen except in a fish-based broth, with fishcake, green onions, and char siu on top.
@Chisai - I introduced the mayo+soy sauce as asparagus dip to my husband years ago and he LOVES it. He uses it with fish sticks, french fries, anything you can think of.
I always...always...dip my french fries in mayo-ketchup-mustard (1/2 mayo, 1/3 ketchup, 1/6 mustard), unless I'm at a Greek place, then I dip them in the tzatziki. Replace "mayo" with Kewpie mayo when I am at home.
Growing up, I used to dip my fries in honey, mainly because it was leftover from the fried chicken. I would also dab brine from pickled jalapenos on my fried chicken and eat it with whole jalapenos. I was also one of those kids who loved digging for and eating marrow. What a mess!
French onion dip lightly spread on fresh sour dough bread and sour cream and onion potato chips in the middle.

Speaking of applesauce, one of my friends just loves to dip potato chips in applesauce!

goat cheese, strawberries and brownies or dark chocolate
hummus and salsa
rice with tomato sauce and melted american cheese all mixed together
@ohnofullmoon- Bacon and Peanut Butter ROCKS!!
@thefrugalfoodie - I love breakfast sausage and maple syrup.
I like peanut butter, Marshmallow Fluff (not creme, FLUFF) with potato chips in between the pb and fluff layers.
Cottage cheese with syrup, we also ate our rice with syrup.
Popcorn and milk

Bagel and cream cheese with yellow mustard and obscene amounts of black pepper. Seriously.
my sisters and I loved to get a piping hot egg roll. cut it in half and fill each "cup" with Texas Pete hot sauce and eat it over the sink. Hot, greasy, crunchy, making my mouth water in memory.
I like to eat fried chicken with hot sauce, but one day I was out of hot sauce, so I ate it with some kimchi. Now it's something I crave...a lot.
Husband likes Saltines with a thin layer of peanut butter, topped with a thin layer of mayo, topped with a thin layer of grated horseradish. gross.
X-bf used to melt a slice of american cheese in the broth of his Sapporo Ichiban beef flavored ramen. He made it for me when we were both a little hungover in college and I thought I was going to barf.
