19.8.09 Blog Post 2: My favourite food

My favourite food

Food is what fuels our lives. Everybody eats food everyday. When you ask around in Singapore, most people would name favourite food like Chicken rice, Char Kuay Tiao and Laksa. Although I like all of the above, my ultimate favourite is Brie Cheese. No wonder! My parents always tease me that I am born in the year of the rat. The association between the rat and cheese goes back a long time ago. There are stories aplenty of how rats go for cheese. Similarly, each time I travel overseas, the first thing I check out is the types of cheese in those countries.
Brie is soft cow cheese that originated in 1980 in France.
It is pale white in colour and as it ages further, it turns yellowish. Just the thought of it paints a contented picture of clouds floating in my mind. I can never get enough of it! Whenever I am stressed, the thought of a wheel of white Brie floating almost eradicates my stress.
The first bite is familiarity. It soon leads to more bites in the soft and savoury slice. Each subsequent bite makes an oh-so heavenly taste that melts in my mouth just the way I want it. It gets softer and more savoury and you are in cloud 9. The taste just keeps soaking in. No other cheese will provide me with such a sensation. No wonder it is termed : “Queen of cheeses”
I enjoy my Brie after dinner almost every day. It is the best dessert and it soothes my frazzled nerves. It is something I look forward to everyday and as I sink my teeth into it, I am energised. Life is just so pleasant. Try it today! You won’t regret it!

(Disclaimer: It is bitter)
