Here's just a quick snack that we grabbed at Thohirah on our way back from the airport. The item above is Indian rojak, which is basically a bunch of deep fried stuff cut up mixed up with raw onions, chili pepper slices, and cucumbers that you can dip into a sweet sauce. I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet stuff though, so I ended up dipping the pieces into the curry that came with my cheese prata instead.
Another interesting item is Milo Dinosaur, which is based on Milo, an Ovaltine-like Nestle drink popular in these parts, but in this case supercharged by also adding more of the powder mix on top of the already-mixed drink. That means that you can either scoop it directly into your mouth, or let it clump together a bit as it makes contact with the fluids on top before eating it. I'm not sure how the name came about, but it is another one of those interestingly bachelor-esque preparation practices sometimes seen here.
haha, Wikipedia doesn't state the reason for the name, but was Milo Godzilla on the menu too?

Lol. I'm a Wikipedia editor and edit Singapore stuff. I dunno about all this Milo stuff. For good Indian rojak, there's this place at Waterloo Street. Its inside a coffee shop known as Nan Tai Eating House, and there is this stall called Sajis Indian Food. The best Indian rojak stall you can find in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! wikipedia is a great 'invention' :D
ReplyDeletei hv milo dinosaur. there's a few other types of 'dinosaur' drinks sold at regular 'teh-tarik' stalls. basically anything sprinkled with milo powder on top qualifies as a dinosaur drink! so delicious definitely more worth compared to the higher-end cousins at *bucks etc..
*definitely very 'bachelorettesque' haha*
i mean i love milo dinosaur..
ReplyDeleteHey, Milo Dinosaur... this drink came from the Milo tin. It taught us how to make it. So, the name Milo Dinosaur came from the tin. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI just give some information only...
