I have a bad case of jetlag this time around. For the last few days, I have been unable to catch a wink no matter I was lying for hours on bed. Last Sunday, I forced myself to be awake all day and to tire myself out. My mind was set to head out and I had one particular destination in mind. I thought being in a food festival would get me awake enough and later would hopefully get me tired from all the standing around. That night, I went to T&T Nightmarket. My friend Diona, has a Kanto booth for the three days of the festival and it would sure be good to see her again.
Arriving the really busy scene of foodies feasting on Asian fare, it gave me a momentary remembrance of Singapore. After days and days of indulging in hawker food, I felt I was transported back in SG. That was what was good about this festival. It really embraces Asian’s love for street food. From grilled lobsters, octopus, snails and clams, to a variety of meat skewers and the ever so popular stinky tofu (I still don’t get how people can get past its smell), the festival was as lively as I remembered from last year. New spins for this year were the grilled snails and clams and the tornado tempura shrimp. It was good I was with Diona to split the tornado tempura shrimp as each one was too big! At any food festival, I really only want to do tastings. Big servings would make you feel too full to try anything else. So it was always a good thing to be with a friend. That night we also tried BBQ pork skewers, chicken karaage, chicken nuggets, soft shell crab and halo-halo.
On my way home, I still felt so awake. Ah well, I did try to wear myself out. I guess I just have to see my jetlag through some other way. What was good though was that I was not going to be craving anything through the night. I was more than full after T&T Nightmarket.
