cravings

i haven't really had strong cravings for any one particular thing with this pregnancy. it was tom yam in the last pregnancy.

but i do seem to be having fleeting cravings for a variety of things.
here’s a list of recent things so far:

• durians – done (i love this but what to do, makan in small doses only lah)
• ngiu chap (beef balls noodles soup) – attempted to satisfy but haven't found the sabahan style ngiu chap here yet
• bread & butter pudding – done (but it would be nice if i could have the version with rum in it)
• yee char kueh kahwin (with butter & kaya) – done
• fruits – done (but this craving keeps coming back)
• smoothies – the best is dome’s mango fandango concoction. tried to make my own banana smoothie but didn’t turn out too great.
• margaritas – aiyo… drooling for the one served at tgif. tried to satisfy this craving with a limau ais instead but that doesn’t compare :). finally got a virgin margarita in tgif which was just as good as the real thing.
• ipoh chicken hor fun soup in jalan gasing, pj – done (a couple of times, in fact)
• cendol – done

luckily i don’t crave for funny things like sand or detergent or wall paint –yes, you read it right. i have heard of such cravings. i just wonder though, how would a person crave for something they havent had before?

pregnancy sure wreaks havoc on a woman. men should count themselves lucky.
