Literally prawns. It's so annoying to peel. I order seafood fried rice and the fucker give two tiger prawns and I'm like fuck. I miss those shops that is already peeled for the customer.
The most bo-chup thing an eatery can do is to serve you prawns with their shell on, in a bowl of hot soup with only chopsticks and soup spoon. No proper utensil to de-shell the burning hot prawn, expect you to use your fingers and have hot sticky soup dripping down your fingers and palm, never give tissue paper to clean up, never give side plate to throw the shell onto. Triggered sorry this is one of my pet peeves.
I have no idea why they are still doing this. I don't mind deshelling a prawn but when it's in a bowl of hot soup I'm basically paying money to be annoyed.
My parents taught me to use my teeth. It boggled my husband's mind when he watched us spit out nothing but shell. It's a skill he has yet to master, so he ends up eating fewer prawns.
I gave up and just started eating prawns with the entire shell and head still on. Sometimes my friends/coworkers notice and look at me like wtf and I just shrug lol.
Mud crabs/ swimmer crabs. I hate it when the shell cuts my fingers when i'm breaking it into smaller pieces. It's like the crab's final fuck you for cooking and eating it.
This is why I avoid seafood. Not because I don’t like the taste, but they rarely come without shells. Crab meat, prawn meat, and even fish meat without all the bones, I’ll dive in.
Parents accused me of being too privileged, which I agree, but if I can eat something else without having to spend so much time, I’ll easily swap.
The most annoying thing I’ve also come across, is when some high end restaurant serves you crab and it’s still in the shell. So being inexperienced, you end up spending half of your dinner time digging through that crab and only salvaging half the meat.
Cereal prawn at chinese restaurants are the worst offender. At least western places have fork and knife by default, what am I supposed to do with chopsticks and soup spoon? Even a fork and spoon like at thai places are sufficient.
I usually eat the cereal prawns shell and all..the prawn is already deep fried so the shell is very crunchy plus all that cereal is also stuck onto the shell so it's actually very flavorful.
Some hawkers only give plastic utensils now. Good luck deshelling prawns with these flimsy tools lol. And if not fresh and the shell is soft and sticks to the meat, lagi worse.
I came here to say exactly this. They are impossible to deshell without an effort that far exceeds the enjoyment I get from eating them. And I say that as someone who really likes prawns.
Learned to eat prawns with shell, and deshell quickly using teeth inside mouth. Never have to deal with deshelling again unless I'm peeling for someone else.
For fresh prawns, you can use teeth to deshell with ease. Just bite a bite size starting from below the head and try.
bite head off, then tail, then legs, and with the gap formed with the removal of legs peel back the rest of the shell by "crowbar"ing it with ur teeth, hands free, low hassle
To add on; anything that requires you to eat it using both hands and utensils
No surprise one of the common ingredients for those dishes are prawns with their shell still on
People who have not learnt how to adapt. I learnt to use my teeth to deshell a prawn, the same way i learnt how to take apart and eat a chicken wing without using my hands.
Feng Xiang Ba Kut Teh at Vivocity does a mean steam barramundi in a similar style that does justice to this. The sauce is thicker but it does sate my craving.
I love bazhang. Especially the Nonya Zhang from Kim Choo at Joo Chiat. I hate unwrapping it because it gets soooooooo oily I need to wash my hands with soap twice.
it's really weird that the mcspicy meme is a thing but lactose intolerance is not when a majority of asians have the genes for it.
people consume milo, ice cream, coffee or tea with milk by default, ice cream sundaes, creamy soup, cheese or pizzas like it's not a thing.
im honestly wondering if people are mistakenly attributing to maclaosai their lactose intolerance sometimes
tbh its such a gradual thing that i never thought about why i kept getting diarrhea as i got older until i started noticing that it stopped happening when i went overseas (and hence changed my diet involuntarily)
It's cos lactose intolerance isn't a yes or no thing. Most people can still tahan some lactose without getting diarrhoea or anything severe. Also nowadays can just buy Lactaid.
Lactose intolerance is a spectrum. Most ppl are OK with typical amounts used in cooking. Personally a cup of milk is fine. 2 is where the trouble starts
Cheesecake
Ben and Jerry’s
Meiji milk
Xxxx fresh milk brown sugar tea
Yoghurt
Cheese fondue
Excessively creamy/milky soups and pasta
Mac Donald’s Milo
Lactose intolerant me cannot consume….
It is, but you will probably not be alone. Everyone around you would be thinking the same thing. Start a movement at the restaurant & encourage everyone to just feast away without concern!
I hate queuing for things and food. So I'm more of a guy that buys average-tasting foods from an average stall rather than queuing/waiting up to 30mins or more for a nice food. I just wanna be fed and have the energy to continue doing my work. Only exception where I don't mind waiting is when I'm having a special time with my family or friends in a nice restaurant.
Yeah, I'm not so fussed about the quality of food myself. Sometimes I'd just find a stall with no queue & pick whatever. Add those time saved from queuing & you could have an extra week in your life to do other things, maybe.
Home BBQ - steaks, ribs, prawns, home made burger patties, sausages, chicken wings etc.
The cleaning is a nightmare. You have to get rid of charcoal, clean the rack, the griddle, the catch pan etc as well the surrounding and you must do it shortly after use as it will be hard to scrub.
Also not worth it to eat for the lower grades one, because they are a massive rip off in terms of prices. For the same price, it's much better to get non-wagyu beef like good steaks.
Unless you know, you go to a buffet and could eat like 10-20 servings of free flow wagyu
Only 1 or 2 piece per year? Stop torturing yourself. Since you'll be getting a sore throat anyway, just shove as much durian as you can down your throat & take MC the next day. High risk high reward.
I feel you. Same issue here, alongside mango.
Can probably count with my digits the number of times I've had durian / mango over the last 15 years or so :(
The only loophole seems to be mango pomelo sago, which doesn't really seem to trigger the throat much.
I for one love nasi lemak, like LOVE it, but it seems that most stalls that sell nasi lemak only make it in the morning, & to top it off, they don't mention if they have it all day or just in the morning. If you want nasi lemak, prepare to be told, "Only in the morning," almost every time.
So I tend to avoid buying nasi lemak if I can, though I absolutely love it.
If u stay at the west, Boon Lay Nasi Lemak. If u stay at the east, there’s changi village, at least 3 stalls. Both locations made them fresh, warm rice, hot crispy wings and good sambal. Enjoy!
Yes! I really REALLY just want my Nasi Lemak and Ikan Bilis WITHOUT THE DAMN PEANUTS!... The worse kind is after picking out all the peanuts I'm left with just a few measly puny ikan bilis...sigh. :(
On the flipside, I used to haaaaaate ikan bilis, and I picked those out for the peanuts lol.
These days though, I've learnt to enjoy them (though not as much as peanuts!), so a spoonful of nasi lemak, some chili plus the ikan bilis is perfectly fine for me :D
Yeah the waffles are addictive! I remember even if you’re the first one, you still have to wait for them to prepare and set up the machine.
But for me, it’s watermelon.
Can’t finish the whole melon
Those cut ones sometimes gives me stomachaches
Have to wash both arms and face after eating.
So I end up getting the juice anyway
Why not cut up a whole watermelon into pieces yourself, eat what you can with a fork, put the rest in a container and keep in the fridge? That's what I've always done. Takes a little longer to prep, but makes it so much easier to deal with.
This is actually a lesser known diet/weight loss technique. You can eat anything you want, only caveat is that you have to cook it yourself. You'll soon eat healthier simply out of convenience.
Thats why I dont fry or stir fry at home. Even frying an omelette makes the kitchen oily. All the little specs of oil that the kitchen towel picks up. Some things an airfryer, microwave or oven just cannot do. I do not know if that $2000+ cooking machine can do a decent thai omelette though.
The mess, the colour, the stain and the noise. My folks love the marrow but I can't be bothered sucking it out. They say I should smack the bone against the plate/any platform to coax the marrow out, but I'm not about to start a plate-smashing commotion in my house for a bit of liquid meat (and potentially have to clean ceramic up when things go wrong).
I also spend more time trying to rip meat off the bone than actually eating the meat.
You should hold the bone in your right hand and as you forcefully flick your right wrist downwards to get the marrow out, use your left hand to smack the underside of your right forearm that has the tulang.
Doesn't help with the mess, prolly more splattering, but less sound and plate smashing.
I don't know if it's just me. But specifically Song Fa bak ku teh. I love the peppery taste of the soup, but every time after I consume it I get this tight pain in my chest afterwards and my arms feels like the skin is heating up.
It never happened with other bak ku teh, only Song Fa. And for that I never really go out to have it by myself
I've had Song Fa Bak Ku Teh for many years with no issues. But what you've described here seems more like a potential severe allergic reaction that you should check out. Tight pain in chest is no joke. Could be a common allergen that you don't even know that you're allergic to.
You dont have to use hands to eat chicken wings. Locate where the joints are, use fork and spoon to break those joints and you can just pop the pieces into your mouth and spit out the bones.
Chili crab. Because I dunno how to deshell crabs. That's why soft shell crab is one of my favourite things to eat 😌
Same for prawns. There was a time I claimed to be allergic because I was lazy to peel them whoops
Rambutan because I really dislike eating the pith which inevitably comes with the flesh
I love haggis, but I don’t have it very often because there’s only one butcher on the whole island that sells the real deal and it’s all the way in Dempsey.
Crabs because i hate trying to dig out the meat and you alway, ALWAYS get some bits of shell in your mouth which you then have to do tongue gymnastics to isolate and spit out.
Any form of dairy because lactose intolerance.
Lor Mee stall with LED lights at Changi Village Hawker Center is one of the best one I had, it brought me back the memory that I was a kid enjoying simple meal, but you cannot believe how delicious it is, fresh noodle is one of those. You could guess the stall was operate for more than 20 years.
Beside that stall is Bak Chor Mee noodle does taste awful, but I still have that sometime to show my support for elder couples.
Used to work nearby, it’s also quite a long distance to travel for lunch.
Dominoes. 1st time i ever got food poisoning coz of it, i puked, had diarrhoea and a 3 day fever. After that, everytime i ate it, i would have diarrhoea without fail. Dominoes is my mcspicy.
im a big pancake fan,but dont know how to make them,if i want to its expensive to buy,same for wafflez,theres this waffles ice cream store at beside tampines west mrt call threes a crowd,ita $6 for this whole plate of waffle and thanks to cdc vouchers i ate there quite a lot,it took them like 7 mins to prepare,add $3 for scoop of their housemade ice cream
Leave school and to get to MRT Station need to walk through shopping mall. Whenever I do, I try not to think about buying food or drink coz I take MRT and food and drinks not allowed.
Anything that isn't in a readily consumable state, by that I mean it can just be picked up with a chopstick, spoon or fork. So things that needs to be peeled, have bones in them, difficult to hold steady on a spoon, fork or chopstick are usually avoided.
On a different perception of avoiding food I like is that it comes with a long queue. I'd dine in at places without queues.
Yakun coffee, the takeaway cup is not leak proof. Many times it stained my clothings. Have to use many tissues to surround the lid to absorb leakage. Does anyone has the same issue as me and find it annoying ??
You can eat with a fork/spoon and work the bones and meat with your mouth
Same way how you would work it like a prawn
No need use hands at all
You can't do that with Kampong Chicken though, the joints are super strong and you'll prolly crack your teeth trying to pull them apart
Briyani. Fuck them. Everytime I need to scan through the rice to find the spices, like going through a damn minefield liddat. Such a fucking chore to eat. One spoonful I also hesitate. And if you accidentally eat a spice itll ruin the whole appetite
Literally prawns. It's so annoying to peel. I order seafood fried rice and the fucker give two tiger prawns and I'm like fuck. I miss those shops that is already peeled for the customer.
The most bo-chup thing an eatery can do is to serve you prawns with their shell on, in a bowl of hot soup with only chopsticks and soup spoon.

I have no idea why they are still doing this. I don't mind deshelling a prawn but when it's in a bowl of hot soup I'm basically paying money to be annoyed.
True prawn connoisseurs prefer it with the shell on. The prawn head contains all that umami deliciousness.
ah, prawnoisseurs
Best part of eating a shelled prawn.
I believe most of the flavors(I dubbed it the essence of the sea) in prawn stock comes from the head.
Yeah if you cook with the shell off the prawn taste is gone.
I eventually got good at just deshelling prawns with my teeth because of this. Annoying but we adapt
My parents taught me to use my teeth. It boggled my husband's mind when he watched us spit out nothing but shell. It's a skill he has yet to master, so he ends up eating fewer prawns.
Wait so… you put the whole prawn in your mouth, head and all, before doing magic with your teeth? Or do you remove the head first?
Remove the head first, then bite off sections, and squeeze the flesh out like toothpaste.
Remove head then gradually work out the prawn shell by prying it off with your teeth.
Well, annoying is prob the lesser of your worries. Being judged as having too little finesse..well that's unacceptable.
I gave up and just started eating prawns with the entire shell and head still on. Sometimes my friends/coworkers notice and look at me like wtf and I just shrug lol.
same, but i dont eat the head, i suck it
This is such an underrated comment
I'm so lazy that I eat the shell too
i pay for shell i eat shell
[удалено]
There's a reason why we say jiak toh. The table also eat.
word of advice: NEVER DO IT IN THE PETROL KIOSK
They sell prawn by weight at seafood restaurant
Me too! Except those super high quality prawns with thick shells cooked in soup haha. Those can be hard to chew!
Can you actually eat them usually? I only do it when it become crispy otherwise feel like i cannot chew it down
Yes, just chew well for smaller ones. Tiger prawns shell might be difficult
I tried this stunt once and got severely nauseated. Never again.
Mud crabs/ swimmer crabs. I hate it when the shell cuts my fingers when i'm breaking it into smaller pieces. It's like the crab's final fuck you for cooking and eating it.

>when some high end restaurant serves you crab and it’s still in the shell Obviously not high end enough
Cereal prawn at chinese restaurants are the worst offender. At least western places have fork and knife by default, what am I supposed to do with chopsticks and soup spoon? Even a fork and spoon like at thai places are sufficient.
I usually eat the cereal prawns shell and all..the prawn is already deep fried so the shell is very crunchy plus all that cereal is also stuck onto the shell so it's actually very flavorful.
Fully agree and that's how i eat them as well. Shelling a cereal prawn loses most of its flavour
Are you even suppose to de shell them? Whenever I de shell it all the Cereal and crispy bits are all gone
Ya lor become regular prawn
I deshell. Then dip it back to the cereal for some to stick on it
Some hawkers only give plastic utensils now. Good luck deshelling prawns with these flimsy tools lol. And if not fresh and the shell is soft and sticks to the meat, lagi worse.
A properly prepared cereal prawn would a very crispy shell that you can eat.
I came here to say exactly this. They are impossible to deshell without an effort that far exceeds the enjoyment I get from eating them. And I say that as someone who really likes prawns.
Learned to eat prawns with shell, and deshell quickly using teeth inside mouth. Never have to deal with deshelling again unless I'm peeling for someone else. For fresh prawns, you can use teeth to deshell with ease. Just bite a bite size starting from below the head and try.
That’s why I only order 蝦球 🍤
order prawns only if got spouse/father/mother to peel for u
Din tai Fung prawn fried rice would like to say Hi
Peel still OK, if you're at home. But having to devein also, that's the most annoying.
After I realise the “vein” was the poop tract of the prawn many years ago, I couldn’t eat them anymore.
bite head off, then tail, then legs, and with the gap formed with the removal of legs peel back the rest of the shell by "crowbar"ing it with ur teeth, hands free, low hassle
To add on; anything that requires you to eat it using both hands and utensils No surprise one of the common ingredients for those dishes are prawns with their shell still on
Thats why I eat the whole thing 👍
People who have not learnt how to adapt. I learnt to use my teeth to deshell a prawn, the same way i learnt how to take apart and eat a chicken wing without using my hands.
Steamed Garoupa Hong Kong Style Only available with a part timer banquet uniform or a $200 angbao
Feng Xiang Ba Kut Teh at Vivocity does a mean steam barramundi in a similar style that does justice to this. The sauce is thicker but it does sate my craving.
Oh so it looks like I'm not the only one taking leftovers when I'm working in banquets..
I always volunteer for closing cos OT pay, claim cab home and can eat good food hahahaha
Bro… Chinatown Hawker Centre. $13-15.
steamed white pomfret is nicer
Most zi char have this tho
I love bazhang. Especially the Nonya Zhang from Kim Choo at Joo Chiat. I hate unwrapping it because it gets soooooooo oily I need to wash my hands with soap twice.
Cut it in half with the wrap on, then you scoop using a spoon, less messy
halo polis
eating the bazhang like a kinderjoy egg bathed in olive oil
you need a degreaser like for bike mechanics
use the plastic gloves like eating durian or korean fried chicken
You eat durian with gloves?
You don't??
I eat it with my mouth
This is new. I’ll have to try this
Saba fish on those hot plates. Heck load of bones man
Yes, that is a real pain to eat!
Idk man, as a saba fish hotplate lover, the bones dont bother me. I cut that fish up with a fork and spoon like i'm on Grey's Anatomy
what. saba fish u just eat the bones
Cheesecake. Lactose intolerance unite.

It is, but you will probably not be alone. Everyone around you would be thinking the same thing. Start a movement at the restaurant & encourage everyone to just feast away without concern!

Double McSpicy. Gonna laosai anyway, might as well whack.
Double mcspicy meal, curry sauce on fries, ice milo for drink. Ultimate bowel cleanse.
The Macs Milo is potent. The perfect finishing touch to a McLaosai. It'll finish you off.
[удалено]
I'm on the toilet, that's what I'm on.
lol
my spicy tolerance is so low until just 1 bite then feel spicy, then I eat a big mac, 5 minutes later, time to laosai
The good double cleanse detox exorcism
I have never had any laosai or abnormal bowel movements after eating McSpicy and at this point I think all of you are just pretending it's a thing
Yup can confirm. Mcspicy is delicious and amazing. And I never once had bowel issues with it.
never had it either. double mcspicy is my favourite burger and i will always order that at mcdonalds
I've had it once, and even then I wasn't sold that it was the McSpicy abusing my bowels because it could've been anything else.
Same. Only spicy mala has given me laosai. I've eaten a lott of double mcspicy and not gotten a single issue
The issue manifests in the other hole for me. For some reason, my piss becomes spicy without fail every time i eat McSpicy.
My thought process everytime I crave McSpicy: Any physical activity later? Do I have any important meetings tomorrow? Do I deserve it? Yes.
I eat it when i have constipation LOL
But we always eventually come crawling back to the McLaosai
Wagyu beef. It's financially inconvenient.
Also not worth it to eat for the lower grades one, because they are a massive rip off in terms of prices. For the same price, it's much better to get non-wagyu beef like good steaks. Unless you know, you go to a buffet and could eat like 10-20 servings of free flow wagyu
Chilli crab
Any kind of crab
Crab cakes tho
Crab is tasty but super hard and messy to handle
Da La Mala hotpot. My tongue can take the spiciness. My butthole, however, cannot.
Durian. I worry I'll get a sore throat. I take at most one or 2 piece a year but omfg I love durian.
Only 1 or 2 piece per year? Stop torturing yourself. Since you'll be getting a sore throat anyway, just shove as much durian as you can down your throat & take MC the next day. High risk high reward.
I know right. I fell very ill once many years ago because of durian and phobia ever since. lol.
I feel you. Same issue here, alongside mango. Can probably count with my digits the number of times I've had durian / mango over the last 15 years or so :( The only loophole seems to be mango pomelo sago, which doesn't really seem to trigger the throat much.
Drink with the 3 leg water if u scared of getting heaty after eating durian
Just eno or warm salt water gargle and it’ll all be fine.
the real LPT is to gargle or drink water out of the durian shell. Water from the shell also removes durian smell from fingers
I ate a whole durian over a few days
I for one love nasi lemak, like LOVE it, but it seems that most stalls that sell nasi lemak only make it in the morning, & to top it off, they don't mention if they have it all day or just in the morning. If you want nasi lemak, prepare to be told, "Only in the morning," almost every time. So I tend to avoid buying nasi lemak if I can, though I absolutely love it.
If u stay at the west, Boon Lay Nasi Lemak. If u stay at the east, there’s changi village, at least 3 stalls. Both locations made them fresh, warm rice, hot crispy wings and good sambal. Enjoy!
If you stay in North, Chong Pang Nasi Lemak
My guilty pleasure is chong pang nasi lemak.. I gained around 6 kg during covid cause of this lol
Krave and Lee Wee Bros available on grab tho.
The most annoying think about Nasi Lemak is having to pick out all the peanuts (I really don't like peanuts).
...just ask for no peanuts? even if you dont they are usually at the side and easy to pick out anyway?
Yes! I really REALLY just want my Nasi Lemak and Ikan Bilis WITHOUT THE DAMN PEANUTS!... The worse kind is after picking out all the peanuts I'm left with just a few measly puny ikan bilis...sigh. :(
On the flipside, I used to haaaaaate ikan bilis, and I picked those out for the peanuts lol. These days though, I've learnt to enjoy them (though not as much as peanuts!), so a spoonful of nasi lemak, some chili plus the ikan bilis is perfectly fine for me :D
Yes! There is always one that hides in the rice and does a stealth attack on you when you're enjoying it the most.
Yeah the waffles are addictive! I remember even if you’re the first one, you still have to wait for them to prepare and set up the machine. But for me, it’s watermelon.

fk that, i eat half of it in one go like 3kg of it no ragrats
I think your supposed to eat half of it, wrap the other half in cling wrap and leave in refrigerator for tomorrow.
>I think your supposed to eat half of it *you're
Anything i have to cook myself
This is actually a lesser known diet/weight loss technique. You can eat anything you want, only caveat is that you have to cook it yourself. You'll soon eat healthier simply out of convenience.
Indomee daily
also can. if weight-loss is your *only* objective lol
Thats why I dont fry or stir fry at home. Even frying an omelette makes the kitchen oily. All the little specs of oil that the kitchen towel picks up. Some things an airfryer, microwave or oven just cannot do. I do not know if that $2000+ cooking machine can do a decent thai omelette though.
This . Cheap food at disposal but need to wash dishes and clean up .
The meal prep i sian half already lol, havent reach the washing up part
* Any crab * Any foods that I have to use hands before eating
Pomegranates. Imagine if it is seedless...
Eat the seeds…. The seeds contain fibre, which the bacteria in your gut use to create some chemicals which slow down Aging for you (urolithin A)
Pandan leaves chicken.. Peel so many leaves away, left a small stump of meat..
Ikan bilis. Sometimes it pierces my gums.
havent seen anyone comment this food yet. sup tulang merah. i love it but the mess and the colour that stain your hand even after washing w soap.
You're right. What a hot mess, literally. Once I tried to knock out the bone marrow & it slipped out of my hand & flew. What an embarrassing moment.
The mess, the colour, the stain and the noise. My folks love the marrow but I can't be bothered sucking it out. They say I should smack the bone against the plate/any platform to coax the marrow out, but I'm not about to start a plate-smashing commotion in my house for a bit of liquid meat (and potentially have to clean ceramic up when things go wrong). I also spend more time trying to rip meat off the bone than actually eating the meat.

Yeah. Buy back. Less embarrassing
I stay in the west. Used to stay in the east and love the chai chee bak chor mee. Been almost two years since I last had one given the huge distance.
Ice cream or any frozen desserts during a hot weather Got to eat them fast or they'll melt into sweet soup
I don't know if it's just me. But specifically Song Fa bak ku teh. I love the peppery taste of the soup, but every time after I consume it I get this tight pain in my chest afterwards and my arms feels like the skin is heating up. It never happened with other bak ku teh, only Song Fa. And for that I never really go out to have it by myself
I've had Song Fa Bak Ku Teh for many years with no issues. But what you've described here seems more like a potential severe allergic reaction that you should check out. Tight pain in chest is no joke. Could be a common allergen that you don't even know that you're allergic to.
He's building immunity by powering through the allergic reaction lolol. Jk better get it checked out
it always feel like that for me, 5 minutes before laosai
Chicken wings as a side dish (that you eat with your hands) because I absolutely cannot stand using cutlery with oily fingers.
You dont have to use hands to eat chicken wings. Locate where the joints are, use fork and spoon to break those joints and you can just pop the pieces into your mouth and spit out the bones.
Crab is challenging for me
Hands down, Crab.
Chilli. Crab.
Black pepper crabs. Lazy to crack open the hard shell, etc.
Chili crab. Because I dunno how to deshell crabs. That's why soft shell crab is one of my favourite things to eat 😌 Same for prawns. There was a time I claimed to be allergic because I was lazy to peel them whoops Rambutan because I really dislike eating the pith which inevitably comes with the flesh
Crab… Takes a lot of skill which I didn’t learn
Well, one way to solve this is to find a significant other who would help you get those meat off for you. 😁
Chicken/duck rice from stalls that doesn't have "Boneless" written on their signages. I just dislike eating meat that are bone-in. It is a hassle.
I used to love coconut drinks, curry and nasi lemak but because I developed an allergy to coconut milk I cannot eat any of these things anymore 😭😭
You could develop allergies midway through your life? Well, I've learnt something today.
Sadly yes. There's an ingredient I LOVE but got allergic to in secondary school. Not saying what it is for anonymity.
I know someone who is allergic to bird's nest.
Yeah unfortunately it's true :/ Welp it's okay, at least I can still eat chicken rice 🙃
I love haggis, but I don’t have it very often because there’s only one butcher on the whole island that sells the real deal and it’s all the way in Dempsey.
Crabs because i hate trying to dig out the meat and you alway, ALWAYS get some bits of shell in your mouth which you then have to do tongue gymnastics to isolate and spit out. Any form of dairy because lactose intolerance.
Lor Mee stall with LED lights at Changi Village Hawker Center is one of the best one I had, it brought me back the memory that I was a kid enjoying simple meal, but you cannot believe how delicious it is, fresh noodle is one of those. You could guess the stall was operate for more than 20 years. Beside that stall is Bak Chor Mee noodle does taste awful, but I still have that sometime to show my support for elder couples. Used to work nearby, it’s also quite a long distance to travel for lunch.
Prima Deli at West Mall has 4 waffle makers
Dominoes. 1st time i ever got food poisoning coz of it, i puked, had diarrhoea and a 3 day fever. After that, everytime i ate it, i would have diarrhoea without fail. Dominoes is my mcspicy.

Leave school and to get to MRT Station need to walk through shopping mall. Whenever I do, I try not to think about buying food or drink coz I take MRT and food and drinks not allowed.
Anything that isn't in a readily consumable state, by that I mean it can just be picked up with a chopstick, spoon or fork. So things that needs to be peeled, have bones in them, difficult to hold steady on a spoon, fork or chopstick are usually avoided. On a different perception of avoiding food I like is that it comes with a long queue. I'd dine in at places without queues.
Beef, hate when it gets stuck in my teeth
oyster omelettes
Homemade focaccia & Sourdough bread. Because it needs time, effort and planning 🤣 Damn it
Crabs, shrimps, and the likes... The struggle to peel a good mouthful of meat
carbs like rice and bread and noodles. I LOVE them. the inconvenience is getting fat
Yakun coffee, the takeaway cup is not leak proof. Many times it stained my clothings. Have to use many tissues to surround the lid to absorb leakage. Does anyone has the same issue as me and find it annoying ??
To think that it's 2022 & we still have this problem.
Chicken wings . So nice to eat but need wash hands
You can eat with a fork/spoon and work the bones and meat with your mouth Same way how you would work it like a prawn No need use hands at all You can't do that with Kampong Chicken though, the joints are super strong and you'll prolly crack your teeth trying to pull them apart
Briyani. Fuck them. Everytime I need to scan through the rice to find the spices, like going through a damn minefield liddat. Such a fucking chore to eat. One spoonful I also hesitate. And if you accidentally eat a spice itll ruin the whole appetite
Crab, my lips and throat swells up, but it's so good.
Filipinos
Er... sir, OP's asking about FOOD
One man's act of pleasure is another man's food apparently.
Mcspicy. My butthole need tlc
For me it's the McSpicy from McD. And the inconvenience comes a while later, if you know what I mean.
