I met with some Singaporean friends for lunch at Chinatown today. I had been waiting for awhile for this trip because I recently learned about a stall at the food court in Chinatown that sold Singaporean/Malaysian dishes even though it was a Hong Kong place. It was so nice to sit down to a meal of food that bring back so much memories. I understand more and more what soul food really means. This my friends, is my soul food, the comfort food of my youth, the food I was fed when I was happy, sad, sick etc. It is the food that will bring me back to a place that while I no longer call home, will always be special to me.
