(sung to the tune of A Whole New World)
I can show you my kitchen
Shining, shimmering, sibeh clean
Tell me sweet yau kui
Now when did you last let your
Stomach decide
I can open your taste buds
Bring you makan to makan
East Coast, West Coast
Or even Sembawang side
A whole world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us 'No'
Or 'Low cholesterol!'
Or say 'Why aren't you slimming?'
A whole new world
A zhichar place I never new
But when the food's up here
It's crystal clear
That I am now eating way
too much with beer
Now I am in a whole
New world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Steaming, blanching, deep frying
And powerful stir frying
A whole new world
(Don't you dare 'mai jiak')
A hundred flavors to savor
(Hold your wallet, I will pay)
I'm like a yau kui sia
I've come so far
But sibeh tu lan ah
Uncle stall never open one
(A whole new world)
Every spoonful a surprise
(With new FB posts to pursue)
Every sight, drip saliva sia
I'll chase a 'Like' everywhere
There's no time to spare
Let me share this whole
New world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That's where we'll be
(That's where we'll be)
Got no more crab
But prawn also good
For you and me
- by TC Lai (another poem inspired by a Singapura Best Makan post)
