Mike: Right, well we have all the usual burger joints3, pizza places, all the fast food basically in Singapore are also and because a lot of us are busy working so naturally this food actually seems like a good idea because it saves us a lot of time and if you're working in a city like Singapore, during lunchtime, you don't have time to basically queue with everybody for food and stuff ... so, fast food are actually good alternative to get your lunch.

Clare: Right, and sugar too.

Mike: Right. So Nasi Lemak is one fine example. Another example is probably "Char8 Kway Teow". Char Kway Teow is actually a Tawainese word for fried noodles. So this char kway teow is basically Chinese rice noodles with some fish cakes and with a lot of chile and bean sprouts9 and they use a lot of ... I think it's Black Sauce, Chinese Black Sauce. Actually I'm not really sure what's the American equivalent. So, just like Nasi Lemat previously10, this Char Kway Teow is also very, very high in ...

Clare: In cholesterol.

Mike: Right.
