I realise...
I love extremely unhealthy food.
My favourite foodie haunts below. Don't worry, these aren't those horrible recommendations by lousy Channel 8 TV shows. But most of the time you have to try it for yourself (I suggest 2-4pm to avoid long queues).
1) Outram Park Fried Char Kway Teow (Hong Lim Square Food Court)
Great balance between sweet and savoury. Probably very fattening but doesn't have that sickening oily taste. Has the special fragrance that spells good fire control (wok hei). Comes with the ever-rare crispy fried pork lard(!!!!!).
Price: $2.50 per plate
2) Blanco Court Fish Soup (along Beach Road)
The highlight is the soup; solid yet light. The glug-worthy soup is vastly different from most others -- the use of garlic is subtle, almost absent, hence no masking of the freshness of the fish. The normal, un-fried fish is sweet with great texture while the fried fish is slightly drier but more tasty. For vegetables they offer bitter gourd and this cross between spinach and watercress (don't know the English name for it), which slide down the throat like noodles. You have the choice of adding evaporated milk (I prefer it with milk). Love the deep-fried egg.
Price: About $3-4, depending on the combination of fish/noodles/rice you ask for.
3) Selegie Laksa (erm, somewhere around Selegie Road)
Spoon laksa that beats the brands (especially Katong, hands down). Lots of belachan. There is something about laksa that's indescribable.
Price: $cannotremember
4) Putu Piring (Banquet Food Court at Geylang Serai, currently under renovation)
If you like tutu kueh, the putu piring here is approximately 6 million times better than any tutu kueh you'll ever eat. Made on the spot. Lovely when piping hot. I love gula melakaaa.
Price: $alsocannotremember
I love food a lot ):

Lifeskills camp was totally destroyed by the rain. I have severe muscleaches now. Short but good sleep though.
409 is the most artistic class :D
