Besides discovering my sexuality and democracy in the United States. The most important thing I discovered was Taiwanese Scallion Pancakes. I stay with my aunt during the holidays and she had a friend that could make those wonderful, fantastic, magnificent, beauties by hand and I swear, I could eat them the whole day.
Imagine with me if you could, many years later, I'm back in Singapore, I'm hungry and at the airport, because my house is so small and we don't have coffee that my wife insists that we go to the airport to people watch and read. I see these wonderful pancakes and order them.
Mistake.
They were overdone, unfluffy (if there's such a word) and unimaginative. The starchy vermicelli thing that I ordered wasn't much better.
