I've started suffering one kind of sickness even when I was only 1 month in Japan. Not homesick. Neither is morning sickness. Instead, it's food sick. Everyday eating ramen, udon, soba, tempura will surely make you long for food like roti canai, nasi lemak, wantan mee and the tarik.
this is what I’ve been eating everyday for more than 4 months And to add to the misery, whenever I call back, my mum and sister will go on talking about what they ate for dinner.
"Ei gor gor, you want to know what I eating now bo? Durian ler. So phang (smells good). Hehe, want try bo?"
Damn sial. Already know I won't be able to even smell it, yet to have a taste on it, she still can ask me like that. But luckily, usually my mum's word will save my day.
"Now we on the way to pasar malam. Oh yea, mummy cooked lor mai fan for dinner tonight. Wait la, when you come back, I cook nice nice for you okay?"
At least, it has cured my sickness partially. But as these things happen too often enough already, now whenever I'm told like that, there weren't any effects on me already. I'm immune enough to just ignore all those nowadays. Even though my sister still try her best to make me drool like Niagara Falls, but when she realised that it only falls on deaf ear everytime, she has begun to get fed-up with it already.
Now, I've began to learn to appreciate the food we have back in Malaysia. As the saying goes, we will only realise the significance of something only after we had lost it. How true it was.
So here, I'm listing down all the food that I will for sure to get a taste on them when I'm back next year. I hope there's at least a person who is willing to treat me on each of food listed below. Please leave your name and name the food in the comment's box. I will reserved that particular food under your name. I'll be more than happy if you are willing to belanja me more than one food.
