for thanksgiving dinner, the newylweds, derek, and i had a feast at the food republic food court in vivocity mall. it's a huge food court with all kinds of food. it took quite a while for all of us to make our initial lap around. there was one vendor who just sold various fried items, another who only sold meat buns. women push around carts with more food and drinks - like dim sum and fresh juices. it's quite a spectacle.

first we commandeered a table and made sure that one person was guarding our stuff at all times. then we separately visited the various vendors and brought back plates to share. i found the taiwanese food vendor and ordered all my favorites - zha jiang mian (pictured), scallion pancakes, fried mantou, and fried red bean pancake. derek picked up beef soup with hand-shaved noodles and chicken+pork buns. in true thanksgiving style, we ate and ate until we were stuffed. it was an excellent way to celebrate the american holiday.
