Evil Food on Maundy Thursday
We just came back from dinner at Hong Kong Cafe and had the most of desserts there. French toast. Sounds harmless until you actually see it. 2 thick slices of bread with peanut butter slathered in between, dipped in egg and deep fried to gold perfection. Served with a slab of butter quickly melting its way into the soft white bread on the inside. When you cut it open, peanut butter heated by the oil, oozes out. To top it off, you're served this with golden syrup, the sweeter cousin of maple syrup.
The thickness of this sinful delight.
Aerial view, with slab of butter melting in plain sight.
This puts Krispy Kreme with its 12 gms of fat and 200 calories per doughnut to shame. The French toast makes Krispy Kreme something Weightwatchers would recommend as a healthy snack.
A joy on its own, but there really isn't a means of comparison when it comes to sinfulness. The french toast is in its own level of covetousness, unparralled by any other.

Ondine said... I should have added, the Hong Kong Cafe, along East Coast Road, near the Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee stall is open till 5 am. :) Krispy Kreme, I can't help you, short of flying to Sydney. Nearest Krispy Kreme outlet I think. Sorry! Hope you had good dreams and not those that involve doughnuts and french toast with legs chasing you. :)
