Food Haven

Sleepy mid-afternoon Even the cat takes naps; Brown dog with dreams unknown Hot favourite soft buns Crowded lunch queue waiting; Each bagging takeaway Curry mixed rice vendor Extra helping of meat; Hungry customers queue Assorted cakes await Gourmet cake shop delights; Tarts, quinces, and pastries Curry puff specialty Old uncle bakes finesse; Ample stocks sold out Fruits galore by wayside Stall with long history; Third-generation here Busy supermart chain Queue after queue winding; Cash registers attend Local dessert menu All sorts of sweet foods tempt; Try the peach tidal wave! Yam paste ginko dessert Delicious mouthful swirled; A heavenly delight Turkey sandwich meal pack Ready-to-go cookies; American Subway Fast food restaurants here Make many meals easy; We tend to eat too much Family treat right here At the shopping arcade; Easy delicacies found So much food to pleasure The discerning palate; See so many obese So many eateries Spoilt for choice picky we: Follow fickle fancies Gastronomic ecstasy So much to pick and choose; Discerning taste buds judge Leon Enriquez 25 July 2014 Singapore
