i wonder if they'll expand the categories in future years. it's soooooo unfair that assam laksa gets a mention, but my much-beloved, much-desired curry laksa doesn't, heheh :D
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteWell, wouldn't mind a few sweet categories too! - Ice Kacang, Cendol... etc.
:)
.. but even currently, the "To Try/Eat" List is getting a bit too long already!
