#996: Late night food delivery from a student's mother. Family owns and operates a classical Japanese cuisine restaurant so I get to eat yummy stuff all the time! IT WAS SO DELICIOUS.
Nothing like some TLC in a foreign land to make you feel all teary and warm inside. *wipes tear away.

Inspired by Neil Pasricha's 1000 Awesome Things. This is the SGean in Japan version:
1000 tok kong mee kia
According to the Coxford Dictionary of Singlish, tok kong is defined as such:
TOK KONG
Hokkien term meaning “superb” or “top of the line”.
1. “Check out his DVD player. Tok kong, man!”
2. “Wah lau eh, Ah Lian’s body is si beh tok kong.”
Mee Kia is, similarly, a Hokkien term for 'thing'. Its Chinese equivalent is shi4 qin3 or 事情.
