Because, he said. "Inside got mushrooms and other expensive ingredient."

Expensive ingredient? XO cornstarch?

It was already on my plate of rice, so there was nothing I could do. I couldn't ask him to take back his (economy) Eighteen Disciples of Buddha entree.

Speaking of Luohan, I tried to google 'luohan vegetable' and one of the results came back with a link to a page entitled "Surprise Lindsay Lohan Radio Interview Made Better With Vegetables". I kid you not.

I am not sure I want to have a Lindsay Lohan vegetable dish.

But having said that, if I ever have a pet Luohan fish, I will name her Lindsay.

Anyway, while eating my economy rice, I suddenly remembered a Teochew porridge place I liked, near Henderson Road but I couldn't remember the name. So I asked Ryan who lives around that area, as I attacked my breaded prawn (which was more batter than prawn, I felt so cheated).

He only knew an overpriced one near Tiong Bahru which he dislikes. Besides, Ryan said, "Teochew porridge these days is a ripoff. You only have Teochew porridge when you are chasing after a girl." "Why so?" I asked.
