As in, what's the one thing you could, and indeed would, eat until you explode.

For me, it's these little things;

Xiaolongbao, a sort of soup dumpling. Preferably from Din Tai Fung. They're filled with all manner of flavours, too many to choose from. Picked up in chopsticks, then the soup is sucked out of the dumpling, before dipping the rest in a soy and ginger sauce and devouring it. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Room for one more? Oh go on then....

My home made taco shells and veg taco mix with soured cream, homemade chunky guacamole and shredded iceberg lettuce which is a must-have as the taco/chilli mix makes my eyes water and often gives me the hiccups due to the amount of chillies, although i do have an ultimate limit which is 6 taco's before i start to feel rather unwell

I consider all meals to be an event I must get out of the way, just to be polite, before I get on to the real business of the day... the cheese.

Once I start, I'll just keep going until I feel physically sick. I'd happily dispense with the starter and main course, pour a glass of port, and proceed directly to the cheese and biccies 🙂

I'm with binners. Cheeeeeeeese. When the port and cheese comes out after the meal I could just eat and eat and eat. I usually tell the host to take it off the table in the end. No self control whatsoever.

Most fried Indian snacks with accompanying hot chutney/sauce and a good chat masala. In fact my deepest fondest memories are around this sort of food, heart and belly full.

Bastards. Was doing OK, now just raided the fridge for cheese. Fortunately only cooking cheddar, parmesan and a teeny bit of Oxford blue, so will prob only make about 5 trips.

At least by making 5 trips I can offset the cheese cals by walking 15 steps each time.

With you OP, I can eat those and drink Mexican beer ad infinitum, given enough run up and money pretty sure I could make myself pop.

For savoury it would be crispy duck pancakes with hoisin sauce.
For sweet it would be peanut M&Ms.
Both are as addictive as crack cocaine.

I went to a Din Tai Fung when I was in Shanghai (on CFHs recommendation I believe) and they were indeed amazing but after a few baskets I couldn't eat.

I'm back out there in a couple of weeks. Staying on the Bay, so will be in the one down there, or Raffles Plaza, maybe.

I'll be the one shovelling my face full!

Ya, once you start eating that you will not stop ... happened to me many times.

Arrgghhh ... I miss them ... arrghhh ...

Ideally wash it down with strong tea! You need to drink strong tea with that so you can wash out all the fat from them ... that's the saying amongst Dim Sum eaters anyway. 😛

For me it is Dim Sum ... too many choices ... must eat alll ... must eat alll .... 😆

Iranian pistachios. They don't just salt them, but also put a slightly lemon-y flavouring on that is just heaven. They might as well be sprinkled with crack cocaine at the rate that I can get through them. My father in law brings them back from Iran by the kilo, and they're invariably gone within a couple of hours.

The best bit is that my husband is allergic to them, so they're all mine!

My apartment is on Mount Elizabeth, there's an entrance to Paragon at the bottom of the road, I can be in DTF in 6 minutes and 13 seconds with out breaking a sweat. (which no mean feat!) if I see you in there, beer is on me. :))

Pretty much any shellfish, cooked with garlic and white wine.

The smell gets you first, then the emissions next day deal the killer blow. Awesome food.
