Sorry for food spam (hehehe) & Work In Progress
Heavy raining in my country and what I’ve done on this weekend is eating and making Sims CC. 
1. I cooked Western food too. Mac & Cheese. Feels very The Sims 2 food. With additional a bowl of pork ham soup, brand Plumrose from Australia. 
2. Traditional Indonesian cakes. Kue Kayu Manis (Cinnamon bread with Almond topping), Kue Lapis (Green black layered cake made with glutinous rice flour), Roti Pawa goreng (Fried bread with meat filling)   
3. 蕉葉糯米雞 Lo Mai Gai with pork filling. 
4. 鳳爪蒸腸粉 Feng Zhua Zheng Chang Fen (Chicken Feet with Rice Noodles). 
5. MAMEE X DAEBAK (대박 ) GHOST PEPPER Korean ramen style instant noodles brand from Malaysia, with taste of Indonesian instant noodles. Very spicy. 
6. Pork luncheon brand from Shanghai, China. Ma Ling (梅林午餐肉)。 
7 & 8. Ghost Pepper noodles with fried Ma Ling pork luncheon. 
Below are proof of my mesh work in progress for Indonesian food.

General Cho’s Chinese Chicken Soup Dumplings, Spicy Tuna Roll, Stir-fried Malaysian Noodles w/Tofu. ChoLon Modern Asian (Central Park). Denver, Colorado. 5.17.2023.
NOTE TO SELF: I had higher expectations for this meal, but I probably would have liked it more without them. Nothing bad, but nothing to die for. The Malaysian noodles were not the kind of noodles I wanted. They were wide and flat. I confused them for bamboo shoots.
Currently ranked 7th of 35 May meals.

As a Malaysian
I want to know more about your holoform swindle
here are some headcanons for chinese-malaysian human/holoform swindle! honestly i dont know much of the culture but here are some things i headcanon based on what i know! feel free to add on!
he knows malay and mandarin chinese in addition to english! when he speaks chinese he speaks it in a specific dialect so mandarin chinese-speakers from china might be like "huh" when he talks especially since he's a fast talker lol
grew up half buddhist and half muslim, though he doesn't believe in either religion anymore
came from a merchant family so he picked up on how to sell things well, though the stealing only became part of his lifestyle when his family was suddenly sent into poverty
swindle learned how to play football (actual football, not like... american football lol) on the streets of his hometown with the other children, and is still good at it to this day! he is actually pretty fit and lithe, and can squeeze through tight spaces easily :P
swindle did not graduate high school or earn any sort of equivalent. he dropped out to help the family business and work
swindle joins the decepticons due to promise of wealth and financial/job security, something he never had with his family :(
that being said, swindle is a good cook - he learned from his chinese mother - though he also knows plenty of malaysian dishes! when he sees lockdown make rice in the microwave he nearly keels over; he is used to cooking rice a certain way, often with either coconut milk to enrich it or cooked in a clay pot that is one of his only heirlooms from home
he hits lockdown's hand with a wooden rice paddle when he sees him about to put a whole-ass bowl of rice in the damn microwave and is like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" lmao. lockdown gets a lesson on how to make rice swindles way but its so convoluted to lockdown that he just stops listening halfway through

YANDERE EX-HUSBAND: INTRODUCTION
Tumblr media
× cw: general yandere stuff; malaysian/cantonese slang; reader is implied ethnically chinese (read her dialogue in Steven He’s accent); reader is also female; obsessive behavior; bribery; stalking; being held at gunpoint(?); threats; felony; implied murder; controlling behavior
× note: it's basically renheng/uncle roger and auntie helen
Tumblr media
⌗ your beloved ex-husband? Hah! He’s no better than a plate of burnt egg fried rice with no spring onions or meat from a kopitiam(coffee shop). In fact, you’d pick studying at art school over looking at his face for a single second, even if it means your mother disowning you.
⌗ Unfortunately, even after getting divorced, you still live together. That’s because the house is bought under both your names, so you can’t just kick him out. And it’s not like you’ll have enough money to buy a new house after selling your current one, because half the money goes to him. Tsk. What a nuisance…
⌗ Yala, he’s handsome and rich, but he’s such a jerk and a micromanager! He always insists on telling you how to cook your signature noodles. (Mind you, you grew up learning how to make that. Your ma made sure of that.) He didn’t go to culinary school, so who is he to tell you that, huh?
⌗ You can’t stand being married to such a pompous man like him, so you locked yourself in your room on the wedding night. No way you’re gonna do anything with that eyesore (metaphor). That’s why five months later, after countless arguments and fights, you divorced him.
“Haiya, he CEO of a company, his net worth 1 billion. But he cannot even cook rice or defrost chicken for me when I ask him to? And you ask why I divorce him ah?” *slaps table*
⌗ However, your ex-husband doesn’t really care about your rants or complaints. You’re talking for hours on end about him, so that’s already a win in his book. He’s always on your mind!
⌗ He fully expected you to divorce him. That’s why he insisted on buying the house under both your names - you can’t get rid of him that way. All long as he’s under the same roof as you are, he couldn’t be happier. He eats the food you cook (leftovers because you’re used to cooking for all your relatives during family dinner), rolls on your perfectly made bed while you work your accountant job (in one of his other companies that you don’t know he’s the CEO of) and plays the picture perfect husband when your mom drops by (your 28501864817 relatives marching right behind her) with mooncakes and tangyuan (because she’ll beat you up with the tea set heirloom passed down forty-five generations when she discovers that you’re divorced with no sons!!).
⌗ How did you even get married to him if you hate him that much? Well, long story short, your mother and his mother are best friends, and their husbands are brothers, which made daily reunions even longer because they had so much to talk about. When they noticed that he showed interest in you as a child (one time), they decided that you two would get married when you were of age. While you were resentful that you were essentially forced into an arranged marriage, you pushed through it for the wedding ang pao (red packets) and tax benefits (at least until you divorced, which was when you started working and putting that science stream (not art!) degree to use). 
⌗ You hate your ex-husband, but you do admit that he’s a good wallet. Besides, it’s not like he’s obsessive or possessive or a micromanager who stalks you when you go out or a genuinely bad person who commits felonies because he found out you were searching for potential bachelors because after all you’re in your prime! Right? And besides, who wouldn’t want to date and eventually marry you? But don’t worry your pretty little head because he’ll take care of them since he’s the only one you’ll ever need. Yeah, you’re divorced but who’s to say you can’t get remarried? Not the law! 
⌗ And if he has to drag you screaming and kicking and cursing him (and his ancestors) to the ancestral plane and make you stand by the altar, that’s what his strength is for! And if he has to pay hush money to all the people present that’s ok, cuz he’s not rich for nothing and the relatives aren’t greedy bloodsucking money nabbers (me) just for show.
“Once again, until death do us part, my love… You at the back - put down that phone. I’ll pretend you weren’t trying to call the police, for the sake of this auspicious occasion. What do you mean my wife is being held at gunpoint and trying to punch me no she isn’t.”

youtube randomly recommended the Worth It Curry episode to me, and I said "yes please" because it's one of my top comfort shows and I'll rewatch them all a hundred times idc
but this time I noticed in this episode Steven makes more comments about his Chinese-Malaysian heritage than he does in most episodes
in particular he tells Andrew about this durian fruit, that many people make fun of (something Steven had also mentioned on his parent's episode of Dish Granted, bringing foods for lunch that were different to the American kid's packed lunch) and you can tell he's sharing something so personal in this clip (that's also not a restaurant stop and was something they filmed just for this btw)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it means so much to him to share this with Andrew and the viewers
bonus you get this little Steven smile when Andrew enjoys the fruit
Tumblr media
I just think this is a good episode to rewatch if you love Steven, or hearing more about what his favorite foods were growing up, or if you're celebrating him all week and trying to enjoy as much Steven content as possible 😉

For the end of year ask meme…23! What was the most delicious/best/most memorable meal you had this year?
hellooo!!! I’ve had lots of yummy meals alhamdullilah. Hmm… my most memorable is a meal I had with my cousin and her Malaysian exchange student friend. It was my first time at a Chinese restaurant and I tried food I haven’t had before and it was really nice! I never dot along with sushi but tried tempura sushi and loved it! The company was pleasant too and definitely made this memorable I love interacting with different cultures? It’s always pretty fun.

Being a Malaysian who lives and works in Singapore, I got to say that I much prefer Chinese New Year over in Malaysia than in Singapore, because in Malaysia we used to go house visiting our friends and family and everyone is always so warm and welcoming and there’s always lots of good food and Ang baos, whereas in Singapore CNY seems to be a more family related event. There’s no house visiting amongst friends, it’s only amongst family members and relatives. I’ve never felt more alone than spending CNY in Singapore. It’s a good thing that I’m spending it in Malaysia this year 🤭

Marmite is a British savoury food spread based on yeast extract, invented by the German scientist Justus von Liebig. It is made from by-products of beer brewing (lees) and is produced by the British company Unilever. Marmite is a vegan source of B vitamins, including supplemental vitamin B12. A traditional method of use is to spread it very thinly on buttered toast.
Marmite has traditionally been eaten as a savoury spread on bread, toast, savoury biscuits or crackers, and other similar baked products. Owing to its concentrated taste, it is often spread very thinly in combination with butter or margarine. It can be made into a savoury hot drink by adding one teaspoon to a mug of hot water, much like Oxo or Bovril. It is also commonly used to enrich casseroles and stews.
Marmite is often paired with cheese—for example, in a cheese sandwich or a cheese-flavoured biscuit such as Mini Cheddars. In the UK, Starbucks offers a cheese and Marmite panini. There are Marmite-flavored varieties of Walkers Crisps, and of some brands of rice cakes and biscuits.
Marmite has also been used as an ingredient in cocktails, including the Marmite Cocktail and the Marmite Gold Rush.
Celebrity chefs have created signature Marmite-flavored recipes: Nigella Lawson has one for Marmite spaghetti, and Heston Blumenthal has one for Marmite consommé.
In 2020, Marmite launched a campaign on Instagram—“The Great Marmite Experiment”—-encouraging people to share their Marmite-flavored recipes. The many entries in response included roast potatoes, beef Wellington and cookies.
In Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, Marmite is enjoyed stirred into congee (rice porridge), and in an intensely savory Malaysian dish (local Chinese dish) called Marmite Chicken, consisting of fried pieces of chicken tossed in a Marmite sauce.

gd cafe 好饮咖啡馆, cheras traders square.
saw this very popular chinese style kopitiam/cafe recently and thought of giving it a try, finally had the chance last week and came here for lunch. the place is really quite packed, luckily there was no queue at that time.
ordered their signature coffee with cow shaped coffee ice, portuguese egg tarts and cheesy pork burger to try. the coffee was a disappointment in terms of presentation as the ice shape was crushed, it doesn’t look like a cute cow anymore, as compared to the menu photo, the taste was okay but it takes quite a long time for the ice to melt to mix with the coffee to give you the aroma and bitter taste.
portuguese egg tart were not so nice, the egg custard is quite tasteless and it doesn’t smell good at all, which is key when it comes to egg tart, i’m surprised at the food quality seeing everyone seems to enjoy the food. cheesy pork burger was alright, nothing to shout about and it is quite basic without any sides.
overall we feel quite cheated because we expected better quality food as it was so popular and sometimes there’s even queue to get seated. the ambiance is also quite noisy since it’s crowded and there’s not much space in between tables. the pricing was quite reasonable though.

Swinging by Singapore (Week 4)
Hello from Singapore! Having always wanted to travel to Southeast Asia, I was ecstatic to learn that one of my roommates had a similar dream. I couldn’t believe it when we started discussing the trip just two weeks in advance, but I seized the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture. My schooling at UNSW is split between the Summer semester which runs from Jan 2 - Feb 5 and term 1 which runs from Feb 11 - May 9. During the summer semester, I have been taking a single Ecotourism class which is entirely asynchronous until the end of January when the class takes a trip to the Great Barrier Reef! This meant that I could travel with no fear of missing class. After a 9hr flight, Lauren, Charlotte, Shaunak, Evan and I landed in Singapore and got right to exploring. The Jewel is a mall containing the world’s largest indoor waterfall located just outside the Changi Airport. As soon as we got off the plane and laid eyes on the beauty we were speechless. Luscious trees and shrubbery surrounded the waterfall and staggered up all around it. The light shone through the windowed ceiling and made me forget about any stress I ever had. We might as well have been standing in a jungle. The surrounding mall was just as exciting. Several minutes were spent wandering around the Pokemon store where I got a pack of cards in honor of my ever growing childhood collection. The chocolate croll I got at a little bakery stand was one of the best things I had ever eaten in an airport. After 2 hours of exploring, it was clear to me that airports in the US need to step up their game. 
Tumblr media
Utilizing the very reliable train system known as the MRT, we made our way to our AirBnB located in Little India. For reference, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures with a 74% Chinese, 14% Malaysian, and 9% Indian population. This means that when you look around, all signage is in Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, and English. The fact that English is widely spoken across the country made transport and communication extremely easy and not something we had to worry about. After settling into our single room with just enough space for our beds and bags, we made our way towards Kampong Gelam which is Singapore’s Muslim Quarter and the site of the remarkable Sultan Mosque. Starving, we found a restaurant for dinner which was full of new foods and a particular favorite of mine – Kothu Paratha which I’d only ever had at my favorite Indian restaurant in Ann Arbor. We called it a night soon after that, but I was excited to be on a new continent and get right to exploring. 
Tumblr media
The next day we hit all the major stops including Gardens by the Bay, the Cloud Forest, and Marino Bay Sands. The first two attractions, like the Jewel, emphasized the appreciation for nature that Singapore has as many of its major attractions are centered around greenery. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pictured first is Gardens by the Bay. Second is me in the Cloud Forest!
Nearby was a Hawker Center called Satay by the Bay where we got lunch. Hawker Centers in Singapore are essentially large food courts with countless stalls of diverse Indian, Chinese, and Malaysian foods and drinks for incredible prices. On average, you could get a whole meal for about $5 and a side drink for another $1 so needless to say I seized the opportunity to try as many foods as possible. That lunch I had chicken satay, my first ever stingray, carrot cake (a dish local to Singapore containing absolutely no carrot nor cake), and pineapple juice. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious everything tasted so I’m afraid you’ll just have to imagine through the picture below. 
Tumblr media
Hawker Centers like that one are scattered all throughout the city, so we made it a rule to seek them out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At Marino Bay Sands, one of the most unique buildings I have ever stepped foot in, we made our way to a restaurant called Lavo at the highest floor where we got drinks, incredible views, and a 20-layered chocolate peanut butter cake. We may have been exhausted from walking around all day, but we did not leave until that cake plate was clean, even if it meant spending the next hour there. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marino Bay Sands is the building pictured above followed by the equally-as-intimidating chocolate cake.
The next day we ventured to Sentosa Island where you could take cable cars across the island and see the beautiful beaches and various amusement parks. Though the weather wasn’t in our favor, it was nice to see what beaches look like outside of Australia since they reminded me of just how lucky I am to be living on Coogee. Sentosa was followed by Chinatown and Clarke Quay in the evening, both of which are full of rich culture and were a pleasure to roam in. Before our flight to Bali, we concluded our trip with the MacRitchie Treetop Walk where we were greeted by monkeys and even more beautiful greenery. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Though we were only able to spend a few days there, I fully intend on returning to Singapore one day and making my way to those Hawker Centers. Until then, back to exploring Australia!
