Just have to share a quick note. We went to Kopitiam, which is the hawker food court we like, and got pineapple fried rice. It came with a soup, some sort of spicy tomato crab thing, and a salad of what tasted like apple but was not apple covered in crushed peanuts. The pineapple fried rice was good, but for some reason it smelled exactly like pancakes with maple syrup. It was very odd.

BUT, I had to write this down: Mike asked if I wanted ice cream, and duh, I always want ice cream. However, what he brought back to the table was decidedly NOT ice cream. Not by a long shot. Now I don't know what compelled him to go so far off menu, but in the future I will be the one ordering. I wish I had the camera, because this clusterfuck of a dessert looked insane. Basically, they start with shaved ice, then pour cream and some tea colored syrup over it. Then they top it off with BEANS, some sort of dark red jell-o cubes that look like congealed blood, and some type of electric green jellies that look like eels. The eels don't taste like anything and yet somehow still manage to taste bad. The whole thing is called an ice kacang, and I don't think I will be repeating that experience. If you google it, you can see what I'm talking about. (The picture above is not actually the one we ate, but a fair representation.) I'm pretty sure it's a joke they play on the newcomers, or else something from the fevered imagination of a chef long off his meds. It's like someone let Salvador Dali concoct a dessert. I'm pretty sure the logic behind it is, hey, why the fuck not? Anyway, whatever the case, it was just plain wrong.
