The Fall of Single Feather...
Adrenaline.
Thats the base idea on how I'm feeling right now, but not to that extent. If I high, I probably won't be able to sit and type this down.
Of course, I do have a reason for being excited.
=D
I managed to unlock the last mission in Ninja Gaiden: Black, TEH ULTIMATE," ETERNAL LEGENDS"!
I was cursing and swearing when I was fighting against DDB Murai, and a 2 vs 1, Ishtaros and the improved version of Alma. I managed to beat Ishtaros and her cousin in the end.
*smiles*
You wouldn't be able to understand what I just said, but heres something that you should be able to know.
When I was playing Eternal Legends, which is separated into five phases, I realised one thing that brought a huge grin to my lips.
RANGED WEAPONS ARE UNLIMITED IN NUMBERS! UNLIMITED! NOW I CAN SPAM MY EXPLOSIVE SHURIKENS LIKE @#~!@><<~@#M~!M#@~!4@$!!!
Haha. I went emo again when the shuriken was deflected off the monster when I threw it at him though. I knew they provided in with unlimited numbers with a reason.
*sigh*
Now, for the main part of the post.
There is this food critic guy, whose name is Anthony Bourdain. Most of you probably won't know him, but hes pretty famous in his line, especially for the show, "Anthony Bourdain: No reservations". After having my lunch, I was switching channels on the TV before Ninja Gaiden when I chance upon the show.
To my surprise, he was doing a tour around Singapore. The show was already on halfway when I saw it, so I was in the middle of him watching him eat "Bak chor mee". Even though I just had my lunch, I went hungry again.
The show went on with him having a foot reflexology and then "sup tulang". For those of you who don't know, that is a Malay dish where the... lamb is cooked until soft with the bones, in this red sauce thingy. It's very flavourful, sour, sweet and spicy, as most Malay dishes are. The unique part of this dish is that you can actually suck out the bone marrow which is inside the meat and its really cool. The description he gave was, "Something like slushie, but very meaty."
=D
Next was Shark's head and the Classic Chilli Crab. Until some TV show a while back, I never knew Chilli crab was a local delicacy.
lol.
Watching all of this made me damn hungry, but I found it quite amusing.
I mean, its not everyday when we saw our favourite US TV show doing a tour about the food in Singapore. Its very cool, and they are things that we can relate to. Seeing how a professional actually talks about our own delicacy, it makes me somewhat proud. It's not really about the country. Its more about the food.
Especially when he was drinking and eating roast pork with a few Ah Gongs. He said that this was how he wanted to spend the remaining of his life doing. Drinking beer, eating roast pork while chatting with some of his own old friends. Well, I would like that too, only that I wouldn't like beer. Give me either green tea, or vodka or something like that. Just no beer.
There was also the topic on the reason why, Singapore was the main place for food. Every country has their own culture in eating, their own style, but in Singapore, there was this different atmosphere and feeling into it when he actually ate here. It was a question left unanswered.
Personally, I feel that its because almost everyone in Singapore likes to eat, so much that it has become a culture on its own. Somewhat difficult to understand, but I guess its just me.
I'm sure you guys know that I live to eat Food.
But, as Seetoh, the host of the Makansutra show had said,"It's not meant to be understood. Just eat."
That line made me smile.
lol.
Later...
