I've been craving for food a lot lately, I have no idea why. People know me as someone who eats 5 cups of rice a meal, and I'm not exaggerating. I love food! I can't live without them, well yes, technically I can't. But emotionally, food is my comfort. I find happiness in food. Food is.. Aahh. :)

So I just wanted to share a few of my cravings for the past weeks, food I can't wait to get a hold of. Food I would gladly chomp on if they were to be laid out in front of me. Unfortunately, they aren't and I'm not happy about it. What do I have to do to get my hands on to these??

1. BIG Seafood Cup Noodle (emphasis on BIG).

Noodles has always been my first love. Even before rice came into town. It's an innate quality I have, it's actually genetic and I got it from my grandma and my dad. We all love noodles, and I'm not talking about "beef wanton" noodles, but noodles like this one right here which I call "paw mi". Paw mi is famous for being bad for the health because manufacturers uses a certain "wax" to preserve the noodles inside every cup. Sadly, I DON'T CARE. Paw mi will always have the first place in my heart. But since I'm getting older, I've gotten a bit smarter because I don't want to die early. Though I would choose to eat paw mi my whole life, I can't because it's really bad for the health. Which is why I have gone to my second love -- rice. This explains why I eat a lot of rice, because one cup of rice cannot match the happiness I get from a cup of paw mi. It never will. So anyway, here in the Philippines, it's really hard to look for the BIG SEAFOOD CUP NOODLE because it's imported and people here are used to buying "Lucky Me" instead. So it's not quite a hit. So everytime I go abroad, I'd make sure to buy LOTS of it, enough to keep my baggage from being overweight.

2. Buncha Crunch

Oh, Buncha Crunch. I've never been a big fan of chocolate but Nestle has won me over when they came out with Buncha Crunch. Buncha Crunch is the same CRUNCH in chocolate bars, but in a different form --- tiny deformed chocolate bits. OOhhh. Looking at it makes my tummy church. What I really like about it is that it's crunchier that the usual chocolate bar because it's in bits so every bite you take makes a "CRUNCH" sound -- true essence of CRUNCH. :)

3. Hainanese Chicken Rice

I used to be so in love with Hong Kong's Roasted Duck with Rice that I would order that three times a day during my past Hong Kong trips. However, when I went to Singapore last year, something made me forget about roast duck and it's this chicken right here. HAINANESE. There hasn't been a day that I didn't think of this chicken. Oh I would pay just to eat you, Hainanese, and that's something I rarely do. I felt my prayers were answered when numerous Hainanese Restaurants started opening in different places here in the Philippines. However, I've had three failed attempts in getting my hands on this chicken. The first time, the restaurant was closed on that particular day. The second time, I didn't reach the cut-off for the "last order". And the third, just today, I arrived at the restaurant 10:15AM which was too early because they open at 11AM. I have no idea why these happened but nature has its way of making me suffer.

OH IF I COULD ONLY GET MY HANDS ON THESE.
