Roti Prata's kinda like Roti Canai but with a diff sauce. Nasi Lemak is chicken, hot sauce, rice, and egg. Tao Huey has the texture of Tofu but it's sweet--you can have it hot or cold, with all kinds of syrups.

You can get Nasi Lemak and Roti Prata at most Chinese/Malaysian, but you have to go to Malaysia or Singapore to get good Tao Huey. That would be only a few hours' flight from you, right?

...well, I think so, but the distance in pecuniary terms is far greater...

Yeah, I guess. I dunno...I kind of thought you'd have Tao Huey in NZ. It's pretty standard fare in Singapore. Especially with gula melaka... *longing face*

Well, if you don't have a lot of Far East food around, you probably won't. Oh well.

Oh yes, it's like ice cream but smoother. And it doesn't melt.
Thank you! I adore chocolate. It's my emotional band-aid.

Yes...the only thing to compare with ice cream is chocolate. But I said that already, didn't I? O well, you can never say anything enough. (That didn't make sense. Ignore it.)
