That, is when you eat them. :-)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwtelJNe7ls&feature=relatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039222615721379586.post-75021815525110687252012-11-28T15:09:48.034+08:002012-11-28T15:09:48.034+08:00Nah.

No one touches cold chapatis (usually given to the household, or stray dogs actually). The eateries are just saving money. Same as with the economical rice stalls ... none of that food is served cold traditionally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039222615721379586.post-83160464490268482652011-10-02T12:34:53.196+08:002011-10-02T12:34:53.196+08:00Hi,

In the West, we never serve food that is lukewarm or cold, so it's still hard for me to get my head around in Singapore, haha.<br /><br />Don't stalls have a legal limit on how long they are allowed to keep food out in the open for? I believe something like 2 hours? I am assuming most stalls won't conform to that though (except when food inspectors are visiting).Hungry Ang Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816388454452640125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039222615721379586.post-9745495046950622832011-07-18T20:33:57.979+08:002011-07-18T20:33:57.979+08:00Hi Luke

I really learn a lot from you, especially from your blog.<br /><br />Your deduction about why Indian food tends to be lukewarm makes a lot of sense. I use cutlery so often that I fail to notice. Then again I get lukewarm food at Chinese mixed rice stall like, all the time, because I always pick the less popular vegetable dishes.PreferVegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040431976908713360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039222615721379586.post-19217932896563580242011-07-17T20:15:55.460+08:002011-07-17T20:15:55.460+08:00Hey Prefer Vege,

Paratha is a very common thicker bread in India.<br /><br />I have often had the same experience as yours, of being served lukewarm Indian food, not so much at restaurants, but at the budget eateries. One reason which might explain this (which I have deduced) is Indians eat with their right hand, therefore if the food is served too hot, the customer will be scolded by it. Thus, it is maintained at a cooler temperature, so they can grab it immediately.<br /><br />Great work!<br /><br />LukeHungry Ang Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816388454452640125noreply@blogger.com
