There are several things that help a person bond with
another human being. For me, it can be anything from a shared love of reading
to passion for dance, sharing travel stories, planning treks, and conversations
about writing. There’s another contender on this multitudinous list – food.
For the longest time, men have been known to enjoy food – in
terms of quantity and quality. Women, after all, have always been too concerned
with their physical appearance to indulge in the Sin that is gluttony. I am so
happy though that, stepping down from that unrealistic pedestal, one finds that
this couldn’t be further from the truth.
I love food. Everyone (okay, almost everyone) who knows me
knows I love food. Sometimes I’m a bit selective about the kinds of food I eat,
but barring that little hiccup, I love food. Yes, it’s repetitive, but I just
needed to drive that point home.
Singapore is food heaven. It’s also monetary hell. Despite
being super expensive, I try to fit into my budget places that I really,
really, REALLY want to go to (that list is also endless). And while I have one
guy friend who is forever willing to go and try out these places with me, I’m
proud to say I know several girls who are ever ready as well.
This post is dedicated to those girls. Girls who like to eat
and who appreciate good food. Lately, I have been lucky enough to meet a fair
few of them, and it’s made me a happy girl. No longer do I have to worry about
where I’m going to find the company to go and eat at a new place (my personal
view is that eating alone anywhere other than at home is really sad). I now
know exactly whom to call, and these ladies are ever willing to join me. Hell,
sometimes they are the ones doing the calling!
Yes, it’s not in the best interest of health or thriftiness,
but hey, those are small details that can be taken care of. So men of the
world, take note. If you want to impress girls, they are not so different from
you. The key to their heart could also be the same as the key to yours – good
food.
As for the girls, I really am glad to know you. To more good
food, then!
