Satay King

So far having spent most of his young life in Singapore, Luke has in many ways adopted the Singaporean lifestyle (luckily, he's not caught on to Singlish - yet!). There are little moments here and there when Matt and I have to come to terms that Luke's childhood will be quite different from each of ours. One of these moments occurs at our visits to hawker centers. Luke has definitely developed a Singaporean palate, with great affinity to classics like Chicken Rice and Satay. During our recent visit to one of the few famous hawker centers on the island, Chomp Chomp, Luke devoured 10 chicken satays in a flash. He drenched every one of them in peanut sauce like any true-blue Singaporean would, hungrily tore off the meat from the skewers, and exuberantly proclaimed after each bite, "UM! I LOVE Satay!"

"UM! I'm loving it!"
