As what the name suggests, Xiao Wan Mian is really Xiao. I think the ENTIRE bowl of noodles made it down my esophagus & got lost somewhere in my stomach.
The digestive system sent signals up to the neuro centre informing that they had no work to do right after the noodles disappeared from view.
This can't be right. I just sent food down. Where did it go? $4 for some dough, pork, fish cake, an egg (or so I assume as I did see 1 whole egg yolk) & 2 tiny strips of greenish vege.
Or are those items only worth $1 whereas the remaining amount is for that STAINLESS STEEL pot holder with that little piece of solid fuel which burnt out somewhere during the journey from the stall to the seat. Talk about value for money. With such prices it will cost me at least $12 to fill up my tank in an AIR-CONDITIONED food court with such ABSTRACT chairs & tables.
With the gradual disappearance of good old hawker centres, I think we all need at least a 30% pay raise in order to sustain our daily food intake.
I remember watching on Discovery Channel that some tribesmen eat stones. Guess that is easier to fill up the stomach & not feel hungry sooner than expected.
