Location, Location, Lor Mai Khai

Lor Mai Khai is usually seen as a quick snack when you are in a rush and have no time for a sit down proper meal. It costs probably only half to one third of a normal meal but supplies the needed calories and carbs (and fats). Made of glutinous rice, you will likely find that it can help you last another 3-4 hours before the next feeding.

Yet to some, Lor Mai Khai can be a guilty indulgence or even regular tea break staple. I know that for a fact as I have a colleague back in the army like that, and a few 'guilty as charged' ex colleagues too. So you see, a seemingly common thing as Lor Mai Khai can mean very different things to different people.

One often wonders about the true relevance of Location when it comes to deciding on a home purchase. Is it important that it must be in the prime district? A quiet residential enclave? Somewhere you cannot see public housing in view? Must it be near the family? Near the in laws? To good schools? Walking distance to public transport and mrt stations? The fitness center? Your regular soccer buddies pitch? Pubs and clubs where you hang out? Convenient stores and supermarket? Eateries? Posh restaurants to entertain visitors? Clinic and hospitals? The vet or pet supplies store? The list goes on...

Depending on your priorities, you will find Location could mean very different things to different people, just like Lor Mai Khai. Good luck in your search for that ultimate house or snack that fulfils most of your (if not all of your) desires.
