Slumdogs and Countdowns and FOOOOD Sunday, March 08, 2009

Okay..finally i watched it..



Slumdog Millionaire
and I like it. I think it deserved the wins. I liked the way the whole movie was in bits and pieces. Brilliant pasting and cutting of scenes. And the emo parts. The whole depressing portrayal of the miserable lives of the poor. And their miserable luck. But i found the whole 'destiny' thing very bollywood fairy tale. Haha..

Went to ipoh during the weekends. For a food fest. Hahaha. Wanted to try the 'tong sui' that most modern kids don't get a chance to eat nowadays. 
We had: (all in cantonese)
1. hong tau sah ~ red bean soup (common)
2. wan tou long~ direct translation would be..err...dizzy something..its shaven ice with lemon jelly with a squeeze of lime. sweet and my fav by far. 
3. kai tan tong sui~ direct translation would be chicken egg sweet soup..haha..its a boiled egg in herbal sweet soup that tastes like gui ling gao (herbal jelly)
4. chu cap chuk~ pig organs porridge (it sounds weird but hey, chinese eat everything. and its not bad)
5. wan tan mee~ u ppl don't need me to talk about this. 
6. fish head mee hoon 
7. hor hee ~its actually just hor fun soup but for some reason, ipoh people call it this way

And the countdowns begin for:
1. Results day
2. Departure day
