Happy Food

I just had dinner at my favouritest places in the whole wide world - the Nasty Old Man Siao Long Bao place near my office. Frankly though, the service is nothing to rave about - the service is curt, the uncle is grouchy, they make you share tables with other squeezed strangers, and they glare at you if you linger too long over your last morsel of food. But the food makes me happy.

I love siao long bao, and Nasty Old Man still makes the nicest I think. I gone round in search of the best of my favourite food - the legendary Ding Tai Fung's, atash Crystal Jade Palace, and everywhere else that has it on the menu, but nowhere are they as comforting and warm to the tummy as Nasty Old Man's. I call it my happy food - it warms my tummy as well as the cockles of my heart everytime I eat it, because I make a point to only go there with people I care about. Good food + Lovely people makes for the best meal...
