Breakfast: Pork and stuff bun and a hot Vietnamese style coffee from Cam Huong.

Lunch: Big chicken pau from Best Chinese dim sum place.

Dinner: Mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette, crab cioppino, lemon merengue pie, Anchor Steam beer, coffee at Fog City Diner. My official San Francisco tourist meal, I guess. I still feel like I'm just passing through.

Lunch: Chicken rice set from Food Chain food court, lime juice.

Dinner:

Lunch: Sweet and sour fish set meal with rice and soup at Point Food Court on Cuppage, which was okay. I still can't tell what sort of fish it might be. Had a lemonade to accompany it, the guys never seem to have lime juice, which is surprising.

Dinner: Pasta and Italian sausages mom made, salad, wine.

Later Still peckish and craving protien, I went up Killiney intending to get a cuppa', but the onset of a weird headache made me decide against that, and headed for the pau place, but they looked like they were closing up, so I just kept walking up to River Valley Road (?) and then back to Orchard via Oxley, eventually grabbing a kakiage rice burger and a grape soda at Mos Burger.

Lunch: Katsudon lunch teishoku and iced ocha over at Tamaya on Cuppage.

Dinner: Around maybe 9:30pm went up Killiney to Teck Kee Tanglin Pau and got one char siew pau and one big chicken pau, wandered back to Orchard Road via a way I've never gone before, and grabbed a lime juice on the way home.

Thought I would go back out for some seafood and veggies, but ended up not wanting to deal with the humidity, and eventually ended up making a stir-fried noodle and scrambled egg thing, which was perfectly unremarkable. But at least it wasn't awful.

Lunch: Watermelon juice and questionable nasi goreng with rubbery fried egg, bitter melon and semi-crunchy green vegetable whose name I don't know. Nasi goreng was sort of sitcky and slightly "fermented" tasting, but I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be that way or not. I'm so used to eating unusual stuff I can't tell anymore. So far I'm feeling okay, I think, but we'll see what happens.

Went to Killeny Kopitiam for a cuppa' and an order of kaya toast. Then grabbed a lime juice on Orchard on the way home.

Dinner: "Penang laksa" from Food Chain, which was NOT coconut based... somewhat closer to tom yum in flavor, and a soursop juice (what else?) from Healthworks.

Lunch: Fried "carrot cake" with bean sprouts and a lime juice in Scotts' Picnic food court. I don't quite understand why it's called what it is, as there doesn't actually seem to be any carrot in it, best I can figure it was chunks of a pasty cake made from turnip ("white carrot"?) stir fried with dark soy sauce, chili, lots of garlic, scrambled egg, scallions, etc.

Later stopped off for an order of rojak at Food Chain in Emerald Orchard, (requested less sugar, more spicy... I got less sugar at least) and a lime juice from whatever the fried fritter and donut place next to HealthWorks is. Lime juice drink wasn't very sweet, which I liked a lot.

Dinner: Went to Cross Straits Chinese Restuarant over on Cuppage again and had sliced fish (mystery fish! but good...) with ginger and green onions, kang kong, (more shrimpy, less garlic than last time) salted fish fried rice, and 2 large Tiger beers. The fish was really flavorful, with slices of ginger equal in size to the slices of fish! The fried rice was decent, if nothing spectacular. Kang kong was the odd man out, the way I had it last time, more garlicky and oily, would have complimented the other dishes better.

I am happily tipsy, but it seems that for the amount of beer I consumed I should be a lot further gone. Walked straight home, got the usual "young girl for you?" from a mama-san out by the taxi stand in front of Centrepoint, and upon arrival headed directly for the water closet, where it was Tiger Time all over again.

Lunch: Bowl of laksa and a watermelon juice at Cuppage Food Mall. While laksa sounds good to me on paper, I haven't yet had a bowl of it that seemed to live up to my expectations. This one had a bit of heat to it, but either the savoriness I was hoping for wasn't really there, or my taster is off. Came with cockles in it, which I don't particularly care for. They're sort of simultaneously chewy and smooshy, somewhat oyster or mussel-like affairs, with a definite sweetness and a recognizably sea-faring flavor... but like oysters, sea urchins, etc. not really to my liking. But I ate 'em all anyway.

Gnawed on watermelon pulp-encrusted ice cubes and scribbled in my notebook a bit, then after a quick detour through Robinson's to look at a shoulder bag, headed up to 67 Killiney Kopitiam for a couple of cuppa's and an order of kaya toast, and scribbled in my notebook some more.

Dinner:
