No Oil?
I dunno whether you guys noticed this... but if you were out shopping for groceries before the CNY period, you would have noticed that peanut cooking oil was in very short supply. On the other hand, corn, flower, olive and canola oil was in abundance. In my opinion, the shortage of oil is far more serious than sugar. I can live without sugar in my coffee and I take Milo kosong anyway, but one can't even stir-fry a simple vegetable without cooking oil. Forget about the substitute cooking oils for a second. One can argue that it can be done with a non-stick pan or perhaps butter... but it just isn't the same hor? But I guess it's a good start to steaming and blanching one's food. Would do wonders for my waistline. But then again, i would still drizzle some oil over my blanched vege. :P. So what is it for you? Cooking oil or sugar?

Not too sure about palm oil shortage. Did not notice. But I think even the peanut oil sold here is mixed with palm oil.

@Kidz:
Not necessary to hoard actually, just that found it peculiar that peanut cooking oil was not readily available.
I know ur problem, my parents only like the chicken brand peanut oil... And I went to three different places to find it. I have a secret location that always stocks it... But a bit more pricey la.
