Monumental Tradition
And now I suddenly find myself gaining a comparitive affinity to hawker food.I'm starting to feel disgusted about fast food.Think about it.Everyone eats the same thing.It's cooked the same way.It's prepared the same way, everyday, day in, day out. Same batter, nothing new.Anything new would just be a planned publicity stunt on something already existing. It's all the same anyway! They're gonna fry it in the same batter, it's gonna taste the same.All that conformity is disgusting.What with all the health hypes and transfats issues, I, the tired consumer will now switch to good old hawker food.
Ahh, hawker food.Every meal is different.Not jus tthe variety,no everytime they prepare it, it's gonna taste different.Taste different, but the inkling of a constant is always present, because the same ingredients are used.Not the strict completely similar fast food. And also, with every dish you eat, a little bit of culture and heritage can be felt. Tradition, and not momentum, I guess.Haha.
I guess i can only agree with Ya Kun kaya toast.Though it's kaya toast.They do still toast it the same way, no matter how hard it is to believe.It's by far the best prepared stall(?) to survive in today's pop culture world. I hate pop culture.It's all so damn superficial.
I still love the Mcpepper.And if they bring it back, i will eat it everyday.
