Finally an outing with just goodfriend alone and w/o wearing school uniform lol. Met her and bused down to Bugis tgt, loved the fact that we stay so near each other tsk, convenient.

Initially wanted to have lunch with Goodfriend's goodfriend, Yuping, but it starting pouring real heavily :( So we couldnt travel to Bras Basah, and were stucked in BugisVillage. Settled down at the cafe on level 2, filled our tummy and meanwhile waiting for the rain to stop.

We had YuanYang again, haha realised i only order that whenever i'm at a HK cafe. Char grilled porkchop for me and Baked Rice for goodfriend! Porkie~

i had grilled porkchop while goodfriend had baked rice!

Thanks Kaiqi & aunt!

Fortunate Restaurant

2008-10-02T01:54:00.001+08:00

Happy Birthday 2nd Aunt! :)

Went to Fortunate Restaurant again to celebrate aunt's bday, and we spent a total of $420... The amt of food! Thanks Aunt and cousin zx for the treat!

Some of the yummies we had:
Oyster mushroom, Coffee Pork ribs, Prawn salad, Fried Carrot cake, CharSiew Pau, Beijing Roast Duck, Guo Tie, Har Gow, Crystal prawn dumplings, Fried toufu, Chicken feet, Roast Chicken, Roast duck, Calamari, Century egg porridge, Yam Ring(love the cashew nuts!), Claypot eggplant, Some veg~~

Charsiew pau, Carrot cake and Fried durian's my fave! The dry and mature durian pulps is coated with flour batter that does not fall off when you bite into it. wooah, i wonder how they do it.

Oh how could i forget my all time fave, tou fu! :) I was craving for the signature toufu actually, their 'house specialty' :) Well, the toufu is well fried with browned skin and a soft center. It aint normal Toufu. You can taste the filling of seafood paste as well as veggies. With the specially made sweet and sour sauce, as well as salad, this dish is almost heavenly....

However, i felt that some dishes aint as wonderful as they were compared to previous trips made. For instance, the Prawn salad. Last time, the cubed fruits were so fresh. Fresh honeydew, mango, rockmelon etc. But this time, the fruits are canned ones. Sweetened pineapple, mango and stuff..

We didnt have any desserts from there this time round :(
However, there's dessert too! Aunt's bday cake!
It's a chocolate cake from Prima Deli, no pictures though.

The cutie pie here?
That's my niece, Charmaine!

North India Cuisine

2008-06-27T22:39:00.003+08:00

Went out with Y sometime earlier this month, decided to have Jap food for dinner. We went to taka and i think cos of the sales and all, it's crowded with so many people! The whole basement 2 is like, wah full of people, and all the eateries are like, there are people all queuing outside and all. Zzz so we headed to Wisma, wanted to go eat smth at Foodrepublic, and the crowd? No better. We walked like 2 or was it 3 rounds, round and round and there's like no seats!

We are impatient people and didnt want to wait, ended up heading to this Indian Cuisine Restaurant/Eating place at Vivo foodrepublic. Yar, so we ate indian food. I haven went to indian restaurant before, lol first time.

We waited for very long before the food was served. Thankfully the food was not too bad, haha. I had Mattar Mushroom(Green pea and Mushroom curry) and white rice. The curry's nice, however the white rice itself, cos $2?! :X

Y had Veg Biryani and Chicken Masala.
Yoghurt and some other curry is served together with the Biryani, and we were not used to eating that kind of yoghurt..

Well it was a nice experience though, we finally ate Indian food at a restaurant~!

Potato Salad Attempt!

2008-06-14T01:30:00.002+08:00

I've updated a list of stuff that i wanna try out someday!

Did one of the salad today..
The potato salad! Got the recipe from here,

Did not follow the recipe entirely, did some changes to it as i couldnt find some ingredients, and made this for a larger group of people!

Recipe for around 28 people:

INGREDIENTS
* 20 potatoes
* 12 eggs
* Some raisins
* Carrot (optional)
* 2 cups chopped onion
* 1 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 4 tablespoon prepared mustard
* ground black pepper to taste
* 1 and 1/4 cup mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and chop.
2. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
3. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, relish, garlic salt, celery salt, mustard, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.

This was my first attempt at potato salad. I didnt add celery as i dont really like it, haha and my friends dont eat it too. I somehow dislike how it actually taste even though it's like a healthy food. My potato salad would look very plain if there's only potato and egg itself, so to enhance the colour of the overall product, i added grated carrot, and some raisins. It turned out pretty well.
I guessed it would have looked more presentable with iceberg lettuces no?

I was so tempted that i took a bowl of it and tried it. Hmm I like the salad. Gonna bring them over to my secondary class gathering tomorrow and i hope my friends like it too!

Pssssss, my class guys would be making pasta + garlic bread + sushi! YES THE GUYS FROM MY CLASS! and i cant wait to taste them ahha!

Chewy Juniors

2008-06-11T13:30:00.002+08:00

This is not your usual donuts or cream puffs. It is a fusion between Cream Papa and Donut Factory! The texture of the puffs is chewy and soft, rather unique. It is chewy like mochi but also a little crispy on the outside.

Chewy Junior offers you 15 assorted flavours. The most popular one is the OREO crunch, However i tried on the cheese one and i think it's nicer. Together with the sweet cream in the puff, it's really yummy. Ohyar not forgetting, chill it before eating please! It will be even more chewy. Haha.

Should give it a try!

ChewyJunior,

Mothers' Day, Argh overdued!

2008-06-01T02:25:00.002+08:00

I actually forgotten to post this! Argh.

On mothers' day, i wanted to bake my mum a cake. But i didnt managed to in the end, that week was quite busy and i didnt actually go out to buy the necessary ingredients. Sigh sorry mum! I know that's an excuse!

I promised her that i will get her a cake, and i didnt break that promise.
I actually went to the kitchen and managed to find containers, we collected a few of them from cupnoodles, and stuff? Haha. I grabbed a few, and cut and all. Decorated it, and tada.
A 'Cake' for my mum!

Mum was surprised, ahhaa. Seriously :)
And i think my mum likes it even though, it cant be eaten. Haha.

Fullhouse!

2008-05-22T01:08:00.002+08:00

“Man Jia Le" literally means “A house full of happiness”.

Well, Fullhouse somewhat brings about Hong Kong flavours and all time traditional facourites, in a "fast food" style. Besides serving a variety of dim sum, high tea snacks and desserts, their homemade drinks are rejuvenated. The offerings are priced affordably too!

After contemplating for sometime, L and i finally decided what to eat.
I ended up ordering 'Kai Xin Gong Zhai Mian' aka Happy Gong Zhai Noodles, just because i was happy all day that day, and want to continue to be happy? Haha.
and L ordered Porkchop with AppleCurry Rice.

My bowl of noodles consist of Luncheon meat, ham, egg, vegetables, and fried wanton.
Such a big serving only cost you $4.50.
The noodles are those normal maggi mee noodle i reckoned.

Porkchop with AppleCurry Rice, $5.80.
The pork chop tastes good, it is very crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, unlike others, so soft and lumpy.

As i had tried fullhouse's hot fave, kungfu milk tea, we decided to order Ultimate Yuan Yang instead. We ordered the large one, $2.30. What is Yuan Yang? It's actually a mixture of cofee and tea.

what can i say?
I love this drink.

Bread is yum!

2008-05-11T20:25:00.001+08:00

My mum bought these yummilicious bread from a bakery, around Yishun town. Yes, she travelled all the way there for these, and they were too nice that i finished one whole box of the pizza bread for dinner lol :O That's really quite a lot ahhaa.
Very generous fillings, lots and lots of cheese and slices of ham!

They're not too expensive, one box for $2.80 :)

& Meet my new love,
Mango + Cheese toast!

Rockcakes/ Cookies!

2008-05-07T22:52:00.002+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates!
Have been taking quite a lot of pictures, and i will update them soon alright!

Anyway, midnight baking for me last monday.
Maths couldnt get into my head, (i was studying for a test), so i went in the kitchen and start gathering ingredients, and bake. Haha, the bakes are also meant as a gift to a special someone :)

My sec1 home econs textbook, was put into good use!
This time round, i used the recipe taken off from there, and it turned out quite good..

Well the title of the recipe is, "Rock Cakes".
Somehow, i do not know the difference between Rock cakes and cookies, ahha.

Ingredients below, (I somehow made some changes to the ingredients).
200g flour
2 level teaspoon baking powder
80g butter (instead of the original 100g)
80g sugar (instead of the original 100g)
Raisins/Choc chips ( own preference)
An egg
Pinch of salt

Method
1. Preheat oven at 190 degree C and grease baking tin.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl.
3. Cut the butter into smaller pieces and rub into flour.
4. Add in sugar and the raisins.
5. Add in the egg and mix to a stiff consistency.
6. Place heaps on a baking tin, using two forks.
7. Bake for about 20min until golden brown.
8. Cool on a wire rack.

Luckily, i did reduce the amount of sugar, as i still find the cookies or rock cakes a bit too sweet.
I brought some to school the next day and treated my friends, they commented that it was not bad, thanks to the recipe!

Somehow, midnight baking works and it's a great way to distress toooooooo.
But bake them with love yar? :)

Oreo Butter Cake

2008-04-25T23:20:00.002+08:00

One item on the to-do list, checked!
A few friends came over today for an impromptu baking session. Thankfully, i have recipes in my school file :X Lol, so we managed to go to the market right after school to shop for the ingredients to save time haha.

I chose to bake something with Oreo cookie. Ha, always love that cookie dumped into milk, and it tastes real good. So i chanced upon Angie's recipe quite some time ago and was so attracted to her OreoButter Cake that i decided to give it a try.

The result did not disappoint, but it wasnt as great as i expected.
I guessed it's because we didnt follow the recipe exactly and we added this and that by estimation after some time.

Firstly, the cake cracked :(
We even added some water, and the recipe did not state to add. That's why it turned out a bit moist instead of being soft and fluffy.
Woops :/ Guessed we got to follow the recipe carefully next time round!

This was our second attempt.
This time round, we added more flour to the batter, and it turns out better than the previously one, in terms of appearance and texture. It isnt as moist as before, something to compliment? Haha.

I like the fact that this recipe doesn't use a lot of butter and uses non-fat yoghurt. It seems a lot healthier.

I want to try OreoCheesecake!

LaksaLaksa!

2008-04-19T11:12:00.000+08:00

Laksa is a well-known spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture. There are two types of Laksa, which is the Curry Laksa and the Assam Laksa. Curry Laksa is a coconut-based curry soup and is mainly served in Singapore, especially the very famous, Katong Laksa.

Each bowl of Katong Laksa costs S$3.00.

Katong Laksa serves noodles which are being cut into smaller pieces that can be eaten only using a spoon. I have not personally gone to Katong to try their Katong Laksa. However, the version that I have tried in Queensway Shopping Centre is certainly not bad. It is very rich in coconut milk, and this is the best out of the so many Curry Laksa that I have tried so far.

Located at the basement :]

My friend brought me to have vegetarian laksa at fortune centre too when he came to back for visting.
I went there again with another friend, and i had laksa again :)

2008-04-16T00:49:00.003+08:00

Japanese Sweet potato bun.

I bought this at $2, from the bakery near my house. Can be split into 5 small buns.
The streaks of purple caught my attention, and i grab this without hesitation...

PizzaQuiz

2008-03-30T19:01:00.000+08:00

I took a quiz randomly.....

What Your Pizza Reveals

Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either.

You consider pizza to be bread... very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US.

Your taste is rather complex and sophisticated. You consider yourself a gourmet - and a bit of a snob.

You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices.

You are definitely unique and artistically inclined. You should consider traveling to Prague.

The stereotype that best fits you is freak. Obviously.

What Does Your Pizza Say About You?

SASS Yongtaufoo & SAJC Chicken Rice

2008-03-30T03:07:00.000+08:00

Well, what do Saints do when they're sick and tired of the school's food, and also are on a tight budget?

Go over to St Andrew's Sec and chill at the canteen!
Well, i wont say 'Chill'. The canteen is very small haha, cant really chill. But but but, we're there for the food! Yes, the food!

Better and of course, cheaper food!

Tom Yam Yongtaufooooooooo.
They have CurryYongtaufoo too!

Two dollars for the above meal.

I'm a big chilli and tomyam lover, yeah and of course i would order the tomyam one:)
I've always thought that schools which sell Yongtaufoo, will have a Yongtaufoo set or somethingin SASS, we are allowed to choose the ingredients that we want, just like how it's like outside!

The gravy on the rice was yum. Hot thick gravy, and full of flavour i would say. I should have asked for more gravy! And all these just cost... $2?
Yes, $2!! That's one thing i like about schooling :P

The vendors are nice people too!

What about food in SAJC itself?

presenting to you, SA's Chicken Rice!
Ha, a bit weird right. Noooo not the chicken rice i mean! Was referring to myself, taking pictures of school canteen's food.

The above plate cost me $2.30 too, but the portion was definitely lesser, and most of the people will order a $2.80 set instead. Just more rice and there's cucumber.
Additional veggies and eggs are priced seperately, and always add up to around $3 or more for just a meal. Yeah.
It's a bit expensive for canteen's food, dont you think so?
But must admit that Chicken rice is one of the better chinese stall in SA already.

I love the popcafe that sells sandwichese and waffles!
not forgetting the malay stall that i posted sometime ago, yayyyy haha.

ThyeHong's once again!

2008-03-28T18:03:00.000+08:00

Yet another trip down to Wisma, for Thye Hong's......

SumoHouse!

2008-03-27T19:15:00.003+08:00

Lack of updates yet again. Apologise sincerely to this blueplate of mine, i have been neglecting it :( But but but, foodhunt and discovery carries on for sure yeah, will update blueplate more often.
So Sorry blueplate! Sayangsayang~

Sumo house is a fast food Japanese style restaurant. Now, there are three outlets in Singapore. One at Angmokio, One at Bedok and One at clementi.

Jm and I headed down to SumoHouse at Clementi. Ha yes, because it's situated in the West area. We did not wait for long before entering the restuarant. A lot of self service is also required, eg. we have to get the green tea on our own. But that's for cutting down the unnecessary cost i guess?

I ordered Zaru Soba($3.90) and Jm had Terriyaki SetMeal($4.90).
Yeah, believe your eyes. It's that cheap.
The cheapest Bento cost only $2.90/

My Zaru Soba.

Zaru Soba's the most basic soba dish. It's actually boiled, cold soba noodles eaten with a soya based dipping sauce known as tsuyu. Because noodles made out of pure buckwheat, it can easily fall apart when boiled, and the buckwheat flour is usually mixed with binders, often wheat flour. The tsuyu is made of a strong mixture of dashi, sweetened soysauce(also called "kaeshi") and the mirin.

"Using chopsticks, the diner picks up a small amount of soba from the tray and swirls it in the cold tsuyu before eating it. Wasabi, scallions, and grated ginger are often mixed into the tsuyu. It's said that the best way to experience the unique texture of hand-made soba noodles is to eat them cold, since letting them soak in hot broth changes their consistency."

Grabbed from wikipedia.
I didnt know the actual way of eating this Zaru Soba until i came home to do some research on it. What i did was just to pour the tsuyu onto my noodles, and i just mixed everything :X
Ha, ohmy...

Jm's setmeal!

Oh and not forgetting, Gyoza was on the house!
Thanks boss+ladyboss!

Well overall, the food's good in value because of the low prices but food quality needs improvement. A definite worth to try japanese food if you're on a tight budget!

Most Korean Food in Foodcourt stalls are either operated by locals or chinese. While the food at most of them are average, some are hmmm horrible? But if you're looking for delicious and authentic korean food, try Kim Dae Mun! Kim Dae Mun is located at
Great Treats Food Court, Meridien Shopping Centre. This joint is owned by a Korean couple.

Kim Dae Mun serves fantastic hotplate meats, and they have no lack of fans. My friend recommended many of us to try this joint and indeed, it's worth it(; I ordered Hot Beancurd Soup Set, while L had Spicy Pork Shredded Set.

Hot Beancurd Soup Set, $6.

Spicy Pork Shredded Set, $7.

Mouthwatering... Arent they? The hotplate sets consist of a meat dish, rice, soup, and a side dish of your choice (kimchi, fried anchovies, or spicy pickled cucumber). My Beancurd soup consists of beancurd, kimchi, and chicken. The soup, though plain, is very flavourful, goodtry!

The Spicy pork is addictive. I also like that they make sure the hotplate is heated till very hot, so that the meat really sizzles and produces clouds of smoke. Nice Vision!

Peachy Colada Blend

2008-02-17T13:58:00.003+08:00

My friends and I headed down to CoffeeClub @ Holland V to chill out sometime ago.

I ordered a drink, and it's really good. Light taste, with milk blend.
Luscious peach bits could be seen too.

Peachy Colada Blend, $6.

The place is cozy, with a natural lighting and lots of earthy colours going around.
They have a pretty decent menu to go along with their respectable selection of drinks.

Needless to say, their service is good too, with generally happy people looking forward to fulfill your needs(:
(We had a lot of queries before ordering the drinks and the waiters/waitresses there were patient with our questions, they even offered to help us to snap a group picture, even before we asked them!)

Filming for a mediacorp variety show. Lol, hm not really filming haha. My Primary school friend works part time in mediacorp and is helping out in this food variety show, and they need some people to go taste some food. My friend hence contacted me and i, together with a friend and my cousin, went to 'sample' the food too.

We had Salmon, $7 and Chicken Rice Bowl, $4.50.
Verdict = Good improvement(:
The Salmon was very nice, i thought(:

Bedok South Road,
Opposite Temasek Junior College.
Japanese House #01-195.

We filmed for the next episode as well, this time round was muffin tasting. Headed down to Amoy Street FC and yeah, waited for the food to be served to us. My friend was interviewed by the hosts, hah and i think you'll see us all on tv :X Well :(
lol. I always like to eat baked goods. Haha thus i would say i love these muffins, but hm, they arent the best i've eaten. I've eaten like better and tastier ones before.
This time round i ate Banana Muffin, Oreo Muffin, Chocolate Chip Muffin and Raisins muffin. Lol,Wow. Haha. Hm, however, i saw another stall also at Amoy street, selling muffins. I would want to patronise that stall too, before commenting on this one(:

Scoopz Icecream

2008-01-23T03:23:00.000+08:00

I always love and wants to visit Icecream parlour(S), but somehow i always didnt:( And if i need, it's always Venezia or perhaps, B&J's. Never indulge in other ones..
Thankfully that day, i went out with WQ and haha, she was craving for icecream too!

We headed downn to Parkway Parade, heard that there's one long established outlet (since 1997) there, and their icecream was delgihtful...

The icecream were all made by hand, and you can ask for little sugar, and more fruits. Their unique creation is safe for diabetic consumption & Scoopz's fruity creations include rare flavours such as watermelon, grape and avocado. To complete the ice cream experience, Scoopz serves its ice cream in myriad ways; on a cone, in a cup, on a specially toasted bun called an in-between, flavoured ice and more.

I had cookies&cream + Greentea single scoop,
while wq had chocolate and strawberry single scoop.

The icecream is so great and
might be better than Haagendaaz or... that you priced at.

Thye Hong Hokkien Mee

2008-01-16T18:12:00.000+08:00

Went to Foodrepublic with 7 of my friends that day...

I always like to dine at Food Republic as the food there, are really up to standard, that's what i personally feel. And i am rather proud to say that, 3 of out my 5 trips to FoodRepublic, i will queue for ThyeHong's Hokkien Mee, although the long queues put me off sometimes. The 7 of us queued up for the same thing...

The Hokkien Mee is sent into a coned shaped opeh leaf, with three medium sized prawns. The gravy or rather the stock was very tasty, and i like it. The noodles didnt turn out soggy and i can still taste the crunchy beansprouts.

The chilli was... i love it. Hee.
& we all love our hokkienmeeeeee~!

I want to save money.
School's food is very expensive. Lol.

Brought this to school for my first break, and ah. Saved money for my first break.
however, second break, my hunger pangs strikes and i bought food from the very expensive canteen.

Guess i got to bring a lot more food the next time i bring food to school :P

Pattaya Rice @ SAJC

2008-01-14T01:20:00.001+08:00

Seriously, i dont like the food sold in my college, other than the food from the Cafe (waffles + very nice sandwiches),the Muslim and the Indian stall. Quite pathetic.
& till now, i still cant accept the fact that JC food are more expensive than Poly or even the Universities :/

That day, my friends and I ordered food from the Muslim stall, and we saw 'today's special - Pattaya Rice'. I have no idea what Pattaya Rice is, so we all ordered it and yes, wanted to try it.

I went to did a search at wikipedia, here's what they say:
Nasi goreng pattaya, or simply nasi pattaya, is a Malaysian dish made by covering or wrapping chicken fried rice, in fried egg. It is often served with chili sauce, cucumber, and/or keropok. The name comes from Pattaya, Thailand.

& Here comes our Pattaya Rice!!
Presenting...

Mine!
I was so shocked when the aunty drew this on my omelette, cos i thought yar, they wont bother to decorate it..

I slashed the face ohmygod :D
The rice was yummy. And this is probably the tastiest food i've ate in SAJC so far.

& Here's what my friends got:

Pattaya Rice only $2!
SA peeps, go try!

Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant

2008-01-14T00:38:00.000+08:00

Original: Here

Heee, I had a great date with one of my closer friend aka gayfriend aunty wati(cool name) that day, and she brought me to this restaurant which caters very yummy Muslim food, the food there was indeed, thumbs up.

At first, when Aunty told me that she's gonna bring me to ZamZam, i thought what game she gonna introduce to me :P Haha.

Singapore ZamZam serves excellent Muslim food, a blend of Malay and Indian influences that are part of what makes Singapore such a culinary paradise. It has been in business since 1908 and is managed by a grandson of the founder. The prices are friendly, and the food is more than just good. Everything made is fresh and we had to wait for a few minutes before the food are served. There's Aircon dining available upstairs and hence we headed up, so that we can enjoy our food away from the searing heat of the stove. Oh and the portion is wow, more than normal places, but i finished the whole plate :P

My Sardine Murtabak.

We had the Mutabak *a stuffed pancake filled with eggs, onions, mutton (or some other meat)*. Aunty say that Zamzam sells the best murtabak in singapore, and it's well known already. I had the Sardine Murtabak while Aunty had the chicken Murtabak.
It was pretty tasty, yum :D

To add to the cultural experience, this place near the Masjid Sultan mosque, and the restaurant staff stops often for the call to prayer, which is an enchanting sight.

There's really nothing to complain here. A definite must-try if you happen to be in Bugis! I'm definitely gonna pay ZamZam another visit, and try their famous Briyani or otherwise, the Roti Prata :)

JC life.

2008-01-07T17:32:00.001+08:00

It's 2008 and i have been posted to SAJC(St Andrew's Junior College) for PAE. I've enjoyed myself a lot during the 3days orientation and now, lectures are starting already. I'm still deciding whether to stay in SAJC or to head to NgeeAnn Poly... Hm. Tough tough a decision.

Here's what i prepare for myself on the first day of school!
Hm, bento? Lol.

Breakfast bun, with porkflosss. & 2 dou sar piah + cashew nuts.
I had this during my break time.

& here's what i had for lunch.
My first food bought in the college's canteen. My friends must be wondering, lol. in sch still take the picture of sch's food, wahh.. lol.

WanTan Mee, $2.

Sad to say, i think my sec sch food are still better. The food in SA is expensive(cos the serving is small), and ohmy, the food here is more expensive than NUS and NTU. :OOOO

Carrot SoyMilk

2008-01-07T17:23:00.000+08:00

Well, i guess.. of all the soy milk i drank, Mr bean still has the best soy milk~~
& there's many other choices too! I normally will buy the grassjelly soy or supersoy iceblended. Tried honeydew and watermelon soymilk as well, and they tasted exactly nice :)

That day, i bought this Carrot Soymilk($2.30) and..... indeed, it did not disappoint me again.

Go Mr Bean!

Batam - Giant Durian

2007-12-28T23:16:00.000+08:00

We bought this super big durian at Batam.
The size is really.... wow. King size i would say.
Haha, but the durian dont taste good... :X opps.

Batam - J.Co Donut & Coffee

2007-12-25T16:13:00.000+08:00

A few days ago, my family joined this One Day Tour Trip, and we headed to Batam for our tour. It was more of a food&shopping tour, we did no much sight seeing. All we did was going around to shoppingmalls and foodie places to buy and eat, lol~!

Will be posting a few posts on my batam trips and eats!

Batam Post One - J.Co Donut & Coffee

The Donut Craze is still on!!!
Still remember my post on DippinDonut?

J.CO Donuts is a bakery retailer in Indonesia specialising in donuts and coffee. The company is owned and managed by a famous Indonesian hairdresser, Johnny Andrean.

The tourguide told us that J.Co Donuts is a must-try/must-buy! So of course, we bought 2dozens of donuts and we tried. Indeed, the tourguide did not lie to us.

Box one.

Miss Green T, Al Capone
Copa Mango, Tira Miss U, Oreology
Greentea Chunk, Why Nut, Copa Banana, Snow white.

Al Capone(first row, the third one) is the signature donut in J.Co. It is named after an American gangster. The ring donut is made from soft, light dough and topped with Belgian white chocolate and Californian almonds.

Well, i cant remember all the names for the Donuts though.

Box two. opps, we ate 2 already.

Overall I think I prefer J.Co’s donuts over a few of Singapore's Donuts. Maybe because of the higher sugar content, and prettier and creamier glaze. Well that's for me, because i love sweet stuff.

Note: Besides donuts, J.CO serves arabica coffee blended from beans grown in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Indonesia and roasted in Italy.

J.Co is not available in Singapore yet, but soon to come! Currently only available in Indonesia and KL.

Winter Solstice 07

2007-12-25T03:14:00.000+08:00

Well first of all,

Merry Christmas everyone :DD
May all have a bright, prosperous and blessed new year ahead!

Last Saturday was the Winter Solstice (Dong Zhi). Unlike last year(where we made plain glutinous rice balls at home), Mum bought the frozen ready made ones from the supermarket.

We bought the KhongGuan brand, 2 different kinds of fillings - Peanut & Redbean.

& Verdict, based on four guinea pigs:
Khongguan's glutinous rice balls are highly recommended :P

Cookies Baking.

2007-12-21T10:13:00.000+08:00

My friends came over my house last tuesday, and we had a baking session! Hm, we baked cookies, well not really xmas cookies, but we just had fun baking together!

We got our recipe from.......
Our Secondary One Home Economics Textbook. Lol, put it to good use still :)

We made our own icing, and the colour is actually from the M&M's chocolate.
Put hot water over it and tada, here comes the colouring Lol.

Our first batch of cookies.

We decided to try something more, interesting~

1&2: We used the Gingerbread man cookie cutter..
Our ginger bread man beacme ginger fat man :P
3: How cute this bear is :D
4: My friend brought her cookie cutters and there's one big heart and one small heart, we used both :)
5: hm, my friend made this, she she said it's... durian. Lol.
7: Stick figure!!
8: Cute little tortoise.
9: Mickey failed.

Ingredients:
300g of plain flour
180g of butter
180g of caster sugar
3 egg yolk

Method:
1. Sift the flour.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
3. Gradually add in the beaten eggs and beat well.
4. Fold in the flour. The mixture should be soft and pliable.
5. Shape the biscuit as desired.
6. Place on a greased tray. Bake on the middle shelf of a preheated oven at 190degree celcius for 20-30 minutes.

We did 2 rounds of those.

The colour of our icing were all quite mild and light. Haa.
& i think our cookies, taste not bad :)

Hope to bake again soon!

Modanyaki

2007-12-21T09:28:00.000+08:00

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese style pancake made of cabbage, meats, and seafood with authentic sauce, mayonnaise, and dried bonito flakes cooked on a hot plate. It is a very popular Japanese food, which is literally translated “Grilled what you like”.

Yakisoba is Japanese style noodle which is fried with meats and vegetables, literally means grilled noodles.

About 2 weeks ago, i headed to Takashimaya with my 2 other friends. Taka basment is really filled with lots of yummies and goodies. I still remember when i was younger, my mum will always bring me there for food hunt. But yeah, it was a very long time ago.

One of my friend introduced this Modanyaki stall to us. Modanyaki is actually Okonomiyaki which has noodles inside. You can imagine a combination of Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba. The Modanyaki is available in regular, tomato, omelette and cheese. Quality takes a dive when the often lone operator is bombarded with orders, we dont have to worry about that as we were rather early(maybe ard 11, not lunch time yet), so we dont have to queue at all.

We had the Japanese Sauce one, and it cost $3.50.

Looks good, and it tastes not bad too, just a little dry.
& i think they should give us a larger serving of cabbage.

Durian

2007-12-15T22:34:00.001+08:00

Ew lol. Okay, darn big achievement. Okay that was two days ago.
I've never eaten so much durian in just one day in my whole life :( Sinful.

14seeds of durian. Omg. I scared myself too.
I didnt know i ate 14 seeds of durian already :/ Didnt even noticed it, after yar the container is empty :( picture shows 13 only, cos i threw 1 away already. Aw, omg lol~

I still have around 25-30 seeds of durian in the fridge though. Wahlau.
Haha, i haven eat rice/noodles yet today. But grr, look at the durianssss haha, feel so durian-ish. My mouth smells like, durian, lol of course.

Sushi Making! 101207 :D

2007-12-11T01:10:00.000+08:00

Met Jiaying! It's my first time meeting this sweet + cute + pretty bestfriend. She's my bestfriend, who i've met online last year.

More here.

We attempted to make Sushi! It's my first :D
Haha, thankyou Jiaying for demo and help~ Heh.

Here! We have to cook and prepare the rice first~ Lol.
Jiaying found this web and haha, it's so cute and easy to follow.

We did exactly what it's illustrated and it turns out pretty good!

Next, we have to fry the sweet egg omelette aka the tamagoyaki.

We were so afraid that we might fail! But we didnt in the end, haha, was quite successful i thought. & i love the egg we cooked. It's sweet and tasty.

Okay, next~
Here comes the rolling sushi part! Let's welcome Jiaying to demo.

1. First, lay a layer of seaweed on the bamboo mat.

2. Cover the seaweed with rice(must can see the seaweed still).

3. Place your toppings(Hotdog, cucumber, tamagoyaki, crabmeat) across the rice.

4. Add porkfloss if you want.

5. Fold the bamboo mat over, rolling the seaweed onto the toppings. Tighten it when the mat touch the other edge of the rice. When the roll is tight enough, finish rolling by pulling the mat forward.

6. You will see this.

7. Now, Slice the roll with a very sharp knife.

8. Serve :DD

We also tried the other one, the inside-out-rolls. We start with a piece of plastic wrap over tha bamboo mat, and we spreaded rice on the plastic sheet. Then add seaweed and rice and the toppings. Roll it exactly like the above, but this one have to erm tighten more, cos of the fillings.

We sprinkled black and white sesame seeds over before slicing.
The sesame seeds made the sushi smells nice~

Also, we tried playing with the mold i bought at Daiso. It's a sushi mold, but isnt a Nigiri sushi mold. Hm, but yeah, we played with it :)

We tried to flatten the riceballs, cos we thought it was yar, very short and round, despite those Nigiri sushi which are a little longer. So we just use our hands to press and try to shape it. However, i failed~ So Jiaying did most of the Nigiri Sushi, while i did more rolls after mastering it ahhaha.

&here, presenting sushi we made today :DD

Haha, i love these. Dont they look professional haha.

[edit]

My mum says the sushi are yummy, lol. & my dad too. Heh & He dont eat sushi, but today, he had so many of them! He said these are the nicest one he had eaten(okay, partly cos he dont eat sushis), but haha, glad that we could change him with our.. suhsi! Lol.

[/edit]

Putting the sushi into our bento boxes!

I had a lot of, fun :DD
Thankyou so much again, Jiaying! Heh :)
Have to thank you in both blogs heh!

ToastBox @ Vivocity

2007-12-10T11:12:00.000+08:00

My sister treated me at toastbox last week(Well, her bf is working there!). That was the only day i went out of house, without spending a single cent :D She treated me lunch, afternoon snack and accompanied me windowshopped around :)

Toastbox is a sister chain of Breadtalk. Besides toast and softbread, they have many other alternatives like nasi lemak or even mee siam. All these are also hot item for the customers there.

Icedhorlick & Icedmilo - $1.80 each.

Icehorlick is one of my favourite beverage, other than Herbal tea. So yup, i had my usual icedhorlick that day. Well, but i dont really like the icedhorlick here, it's too sweet for me even though i think i've got a sweet tooth, always craving for sweet desserts. Sis had her usual icedmilo.

I ordered the Honeythick toast, while sis ordered the French Toast.

Honey thick toast, $1.30

My first time having honey thick toast. I love it many, although some people might think it's sweet. Well, i love the scent and taste of honey hee. So this definitely appeals to me. Even my sis, who doesnt like stuff too sweet, likes the honey toast.

French toast, $1.60

Hm, an inch-thick slice of white bread that's dipped in egg batter and quickly deep-fried. It is served with a slice of butter. Hm, we've never once tried French toast outside, hence we're not quite sure about the kaya thing. I've always thought that we will be given some kaya so dip or spread ourselves? Haha, i'm not so sure (:

Anyway, i dont really like the french toast. It is very greasy, and too much makes me feel a little sick :X My sister forced me to finish up for her, and she snatched away the rest of my honeythicktoast :(

I want to try peanutbutter toast/porkfloss toast + condensed milk!

Mum&My Bday Celebration

2007-12-07T09:13:00.001+08:00

Birthday was great :) Hehe.

Celebrated mum's and my birthday together with my family on the 4th. Yup, that's my mum's exact big day. Too bad that my mum still have to work that day :/
Hm, but that afternoon, or rather late morning, sis and I started to bake my mum a birthday cake. Last year i did a chilled cake. Okay the bottom layer failed but it does taste good. This year, we felt like baking..

Baked quite a number of times already. But sigh, i always do not know how to decorate and how to handle the whipped cream. Someone, teach me please... :/

Here's the recipe for the spongecake. Hm, i took and modify a little from here.

Ingredients for sponge cake:
8 eggs
180 gm. castor sugar
220 gm. cake flour
140 gm. melted butter

Filling:
250 gm. whipped Fresh Cream
diced/sliced strawberries!

Method:
(1) Whisk eggs and sugar till thick and fluffy.
(2) Sieve in cake four and vanilla essence and fold lightly.
(3) Pour in melted butter and fold lightly taking care not to deflate the eggs.
(4) Pour into a round cake tin and bake at for about 10 - 12 Mins. or till cooked. Remove from oven and turn onto a wire rack and let it cool.
(5) Cut the sponge cake into 2 pieces.
(6) Spread a little fresh cream on top then spread with some diced strawberries. Repeat till finish but the top, just spread with fresh cream.
(7) Decorate as desired.

Guess i must take note of the amount of ingredients and not anyhow estimate next time round, cos the sponge cake, turned out rather...not spongy enough? Heh.

This is the middle layer. I love the colour of these strawberries. Looks like strawberry tart. The cake looks like the tart base Lol.

Added some whipeed cream. Turns out quite nice? Lol.

And Tada!! The birthday cake we made!
Hm, the whipped cream somehow 'melted'? and you see, i said i cant handle the whipped cream :( The sides are screwed too.
Sorry mum, for 2 years consecutive, you dont have a proper cake for your birthday.

That night, we went out to have dinner. Mum suggested to go to this new seafood 'tze char' place at Jelapang, Greenridge shopping centre's kopitiam(Big Eater Seafood). It's a brand new stall and opened from the 30/11, just about a week ago. So we reached there to see quite a crowd, as yar, it just opened sometime ago, guess everyone wants to try the new food.

We ordered rice and quite a few dishes.

Hotplate Beancurd, $8.

The round egg toufu has been both sis and my favourite since young. So we ordered this hotplate toufu. The plate is so hot that it is still sizzling when placed on the table.
The sauce was good too.

Stewed broccoli and Bai Ling Mushroom, $12.

I'm a picky eater. I dont eat everything, this is bad. Lol, and for veggies, i eat very a lot of veggies, but it's a lot of a certain kind of veggie. Haha.
So broccoli and cauliflowers, are actually my favourite kind of veggies. This dish is not bad, but i guess it's rather expensive :/

Steamed Fish grouper with special sauce, $28.

The fish was fresh, and the sauce a bit too salty.

Salted Egg Crab, $50.

!! Definitely the best dish that day. Very tasty, yummy and unhealthy, but i like.. haha. I guess, this dish doesn't require much introduction. A recent year popular crab cooking style. However, it's my first time trying this dish. We could taste a hint of cheese there, really not bad :)

Lime juice for you after a heavy meal?

Thanks so much to my 2nd Aunt for the treat. We spent a total of $100.60~~

That night, we came back home to cut the cake...

Once again, Happy Belated to mum and myself:) Okay i'm sixteen finally.
Go catch one NC16 movie someday. Heh.

RedBean Corn

2007-12-01T10:21:00.000+08:00

Went out with my friends that day and I ordered this RedBeanCorn dessert. I like anything corn and redbean, so yar, definitely like this dessert a lot. I dont like it so sweet, so usually i will tell the vendor not too sweet, but hmm, they dont always seem to understand me Lol. But i like to see lots of colour in my dessert, contradicting too, cos the colourful syrup adds to the sweetness heh.

I prefer this to Ice Kachang. Why? Yes, cos of the generous amount of redbean and corn given for RedBeanCorn instead of Ice Kachang. Attap seed and jellies are also found in icekachang, not in the RedBeanCorn.

This dessert is definitely great on a hot day, but the amout of sugar that goes into one of these....

The Cheese Prata Shop

2007-11-29T12:13:00.000+08:00

Had read many many reviews on Niqqi's the Cheese Prata Shop via the internet, both the good and the bad. Definitely a hot favourite for most NUS students especially for late night supper since it's very near the campus. And also, this Prata shop is rather famous in the West Area. We have heard many ravings about it, and it's also one of the few places that open 24hours. That day, quite sometime ago, my teacher brought us there for supper, when hungry pangs striked and we were near the area.

I ordered this Combo Prata.

Combo Prata, $2.

The ingredients includes tomato, mushrooms and onions. In my opinion, i guessed that the pratas are a little overrated. The prata turned out to be a little soggy, and it lacks the cripsy texture compared to prata served somewhere else. I felt that, it was... nothing special, rather ordinary. But still, add credits to the creator, lol cos i love the combi of tomato and onions.

The tissue prata here are alright.
It was quite good, quite cripsy.

The Service wasnt too good if i didnt remember wrongly. We waited for quite long before they came to take our orders. Well I'm not sure about it, but i have a friend telling me that there was once she went, and the person took a wrong order, they ridiculously made her accept whatever they bring as if it's her fault that she did not make her order clear. Wow, good service? Not tying to be so easily influenced by my friend, but just listening to my feedbacks and comments.

Well, it was my first time visiting Niqqi's, just to try out. Talking about pratas, how i miss Mr Prata! How i missed those times when my school is still located at Clementi area, where a lot of yums could be found, and a lot of shophouses for us to visit. Niqqi's, Wasnt that satisfying though, but still, gonna thank my teacher for that treat! :D

RedBean Muahchee Pastry

2007-11-28T15:57:00.000+08:00

Cousin Sweeheng brought back some real nice goodies from Taiwan.
Here's a sneakpeek of my favourite one from him - Redbean Muahchee Pastry!

Not too sweet, and it's recommended to store in the fridge.
Taste very nice. Anw, the muahchee is found right in the middle :P

Char Siew Rice

2007-11-26T11:27:00.000+08:00

Dont know what to do during the Holidays? Maybe you can get yourself engaged in what my friend and I did!

We live in the West, and seldom go elsewhere like to the North, East or South? Lol. That day, we headed to SAJC's OpenHouse at Potong Pasir, and decided to go down to the East since we are somewhere around~ We just randomly locate a bus stop and hop on to the bus which arrived first.

The Bus then brought us to somewhere, er Kaki Bukit? I dont know where the place is though. We just alighted when we felt like. This is so much fun, cos we were like in a place we are not familiar with? Okay ended up at Ubi Avenue.
So we decided to find a coffeeshop or something to settle our lunch.

We found this rather, retro(i would say to me..) shop, looks like full of antique flavour? lol.

& we both ordered CharSiew Rice.

The Char Siew here is very shiok i think. The meat is chewy and tender. I dont really like too thickly cut meat, haha. So this is good enough for me. The sauce is rather sweet side, it was good.

It was cheap too, $2.50 only. The meal was indeed satisfying.
This is how you spell Cheap, yet good :D

Maybe we should go for such 'hunt' one more time! Lol.

DippinDonut

2007-11-25T12:22:00.000+08:00

A treat from 3 of my classmates. There were 12 of us, so we were given one each!
Mine was the Royal Cheese. The cheese was salted, and hmm it tastes good.

We took a bite from most of the different donut. Heartwarming? Aw.

& we played Uno at the rooftop too!
By the way, it's Vivocity :)

Bearie&Boyboy egg~

2007-11-20T12:26:00.001+08:00

I love Daiso!
That day, i bought a number of gadgets from Daiso, at IMM. I've visited the one at Plaza Singapura and Vivocity as well. Daiso really has lots of nice Japanese products that i would want to grab them all!

Oh and i went to Daiso for 3 days consecutively. Lol.

First round of items bought quite some time ago.

Well i bought this Onigiri mould that day, and i wanted to try something out. Had browsed through a few websites and wanted to try a few Japanese ones, cos they're all rather cute! Just look at how a kid bento is designed!

I came across this site, and the homemaker actually use very nice egg moulds for her eggs, and also she tried using ice cream sandwich moulds. So, i thought yeah, i should give it a try too, using my new Onigiri moulds :) The moulds i bought was the shape of the head of a bear and a boy.

I hardboiled 2 eggs, and peeled the shells off while it's still very very hot(careful your fingers! i was scald...) Then plopped them into the wet plastic Onigiri moulds.

These moulds aren't designed for eggs, so we have to tied them or closed them so tightly, using a band or something. But please make sure the bands are clean for hygiene purpose. Then put them into cold water.

This would be how it looks!
Tada~ My first attempt and it actually succeeded :D
Presenting my Bearie Egg & Boyboy Egg~

Sorry for the poor image, i was using my hand phone camera instead of the normal Digital Camera i used.

I would love to try on my other gadgets soon!

Mountain Fries @ TeenageCafe-Bugis

2007-11-13T13:51:00.000+08:00

O's ARE OVER!

Went down to TeenageCafe @ Bugis for a Fries-Fix right after O's yesterday! It's finally over and done with, and i noticed i have so many more things to do and coming up! Haha, and yes, i've gotten myself a new camera too! But it's because i didnt take good care of my previous~ Heartache, got to use my savings for that.

Anyway, yes. The fries, been given a unique name - Mountain Fries.
These thick-cut fries are pretty good, and the portion was quite large actually. Guessed if i finish everything on my own, i may develop a phobic for fries? Haha, but yeah, they were pretty tasty, especially because it's served hot.

Squeezed quite a lot of chillisauce on my friess, hah, it would be even better if i seeeeeee hot cheese~~~ Aw. Lol.

Hmm, I'm thinking should i continue with my blog here, or blog about food now and then on my own personal blog? Hm.

I'll be back! (:

2007-09-30T09:31:00.000+08:00

Teachers' Day 2007

2007-09-01T12:22:00.001+08:00

Teachers' Day Celebration was a blast!
Well for the case in my school, besides having a Teachers' Day Performance/Concert, we have the Breakfast Party as well, whereby each class with invite their subject teachers and classparent to their class and have breakfast prepared by us together!

Jiaying's so sweet to have baked her teachers heart-shaped cookies/shortbread. Hehe, i wanna have some too :P

My class chairperson was so nice to have baked a Chocolate Cake, a 4B1 cake, :D
& We also have another cake, Chocolate Cake too, but it's bought from somewhere(I'm not sure of the outlet).

There's lots of sandwiches, sausages and nuggets. & not forgetting all the tidbits/crakcers as well. My 3 other classmates were so nice to have baked ChocolateChips cookies the day before! Also, there's lots of fruits as well as marshmallow for the Chocolate Fondue! Haha, our breakfast is soooooooo Chocolate-ty. Lol. Sinfully good, especially it's prepared by my fellow beloved classmates.

Busy enjoying our yummy breakfast!

Look at the cups of drinks!
The colours are so pretty, agree?

& they are just cups of sprite/7up! :D
I didnt know that those tadpole-like jelly we have in dessert, can do this! I've learnt smth new :) The drinks taste extra refreshing, with the jelly there, chewyy haha.

See, our teachers were amused by the colour of the drink :)

I'm CarrotCake

2007-08-18T12:31:00.000+08:00

Received an email from one of my friends,

If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you,which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one!)?

Trust me....this is very accurate. Pick your dessert, and then scroll to see what Psychiatrists think about you.

Here are your choices:

1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue
4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate on Chocolate
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake

No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think
carefully about what your choice will be..............

OK - Now that you've made your choice this is what the research
says about you...

1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and
fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream
cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and
immature at times.

2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a
champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up
you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique
sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.

3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you
are an excellent after-dinner speaker and a good teacher. But don't
try to walk And chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times,
but you have many friends.

4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous,
not very grounded in life; very decisive and motivated. Everyone
enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should
be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.

5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about
other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in
return. Intuitively keen. Can be very emotional. Also tend to be very
loyal.

6. CHOCOLATE ON CHOCOLATE -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive.
Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear
to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take
chances. Will not settle for any thing average in life. Love to laugh.

7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football,
basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate,
but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote
control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.

8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to
laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You
are a very Warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have
many loyal Friends.

What's yours?

Anyway, i just had my O level oral last tuesday.

What is your favourite Food?

More Vegetarian Food?

2007-08-12T00:49:00.000+08:00

My com's finally repaired and back! :D Haha, which means i can start blogging here again! But.... Sigh, Bad news for me :( My camera is down!!!! Ah, how unlucky can I be...
Meanwhile, i shall use my phone's cam(not bad quality)..... Awww..

Well, I shall start off with a healthy meal as my first post after my com is repaired!
I headed to Nanyang Technological University last week, well went to their library for some self-study though. Exams are round the corner!

There are around 11 Canteens if I'm not wrong, and we headed to CanteenA for a meal. The food is relatively cheap compared to those outside, and it's even cheaper than my own school(sec sch). Awwww! I bought my lunch from the Vegetarian Stall there.
Well, i referred to one of my previous post, both are very affordable. Haha.

Want to make a guess, how much this plate of food cost?

A total of $1.50!
That's very cheap I thought! :)
Haha, i shall eat more redcargo/brown rice! They are healthy, haha.

& drinks as cheap as....

30cents!!!

My comcomcom :(

2007-07-22T12:38:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the looooooooong absence!

My Term3 Exams are finally over :D:D However my com brokedown just so yesterday :( Sigh.. I can only use my Sis's to blog right now. Hmmm, Perhaps more posts after my com's repaired??? :(

Our Laksa!

2007-07-07T08:59:00.001+08:00

It's been more than a week since I last updated. Ah, had been kind of busy lately, and my term3 exams(the major exam before Prelim and O's) will commence next monday. Ohmy.
*Crossfingers*

Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture, which is a merger of Chinese and Malay elements.

Mummy bought this 'Curry Laksa paste', and we decided to try out the paste.
We changed the ingredients that are supposed to be in a bowl of laksa. No cockles, No Shrimps~
We had Golden needle mushroom instead! And of course the usual bean sprouts, fish sticks, tofu puffs and hard boiled eggs. We added Plain Yellow Noodles instead of RiceVermicelli.

Haha, yummy Laksa by my Mum and I~
Kind of healthier?
Not that much Oil as compared to those sold outside, haha.

Duan Wu Festival

2007-06-23T00:45:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BELATED DUMPLINGS(?) DAY!!!!
Haha, it's Duan Wu Festival to be exact.

Zongzi is a Chinese dumpling consisting of glutinous rice and sweet or savoury fillings wrapped in leaves which is then boiled or steamed, commonly eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today, people eat zongzi and participate in dragon boat races to commemorate Qu Yuan's sacrifice on the Duan Wu festival, the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

Every year, my grandma would make lots of these dumplings and gave them to all her children(which is my mum, aunts and uncles). And we all would get to eat them! Haha, i still think that my grandma's dumplings are the nicest and you cant get them anywhere :p

Haha, that's me! Pretty lame, all the dumplings we were given.

And take a peek!

The dumplings are generously filled with mushrooms, lean&fat meat, minced meat, and chesnut! Not forgetting the gluntinous rice. I particularly like dark coloured zongzi :D

I'm a fan of my grandma's dumplings, seriously.

And this year, we received more dumplings. My cousin's hubby's mother(Cousin's Mother in law)(lol), had actually made extra for my Aunt and i get to tried them as well!

Ribena Flower? What's that?!

2007-06-16T22:34:00.000+08:00

Daddy brought back something home today!

I have no idea what this is though.
Tried/Ate a few of them, and they are rather sweet! Taste like plums? Hehe!

Mummy says 'this' is used to make ribena? It's Ribena flower! Erhem, but i dont know there's such flower? Lol!

Can anyone tell me what's 'this'??

菜饼!

2007-06-03T11:41:00.001+08:00

I always look forward to Sundays whether or not i have to study :S Reason being Mum and I will cook for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes brunch, and also, we will dine out for dinner :D

So this morning, i woke up quite early(for a sunday!), and together with my mum, we made 菜饼, do you call in Vegetable patties in english? Hmmm.

We mixed flour, water, egg, lots of sliced carrot and beansprouts together. And put one spoonful of the mixture, top it with a prawn and deep fried it.

Haha, seems kind of unhealthy to start your day with deep-fried food? Haha, but we just loved these patties. Mum also deep-fried the left-over prawns.

But it was kind of tasteless as we forgot to add salt? Lol. But i kind of like the taste of fresh beansprouts itself, so it's okay for me and i actually ate 5 of these 菜饼! Lol.

Do you want Anything or Whatever?

2007-06-02T01:21:00.000+08:00

Have you guys tried this new cool stuff?

"What you want?"
"Anything, Whatever!"

Lol, i guess that's the reason for the name/label! Lol.

The advertisements really grabbed my attention and i decided to buy this for a try :) And i'm kind of addicted to this alrd, the 'guessing' game. Drank this for 5 consecutive days already :p
I bought 'Whatever' only however, as i dont drink coke(since 2007 jan) and i'm kind of afraid that i might get coke if i bought 'Anything'.

Whatever(Non carbonated drinks) comprises of either Ice lemon tea, Apple tea, Peach Tea, Green tea, Chrysanthemum tea or White grape tea.
So i was randomly chose a can each time, and so far, i've only tried Green Tea, Ice lemon tea and chrysanthemum tea. Ah, bad luck :X Haha.

Haha, that day my friend and I were searching for this at Carrefour, and we asked some random people,
"Do you know where is Whatever?"
Haha, the reaction and expression of that man was really hilarious seriously :X Did we made a joke out of ourselves? Lol.

Imagine if one asked,
"Do you have Anything?"

However, these are not sold in all places. I visited a few 7-11 outlets but not all of them sells this, try NTUC :) I bought mine from there.

For more Whatever and Anything,

Healthy Vegetarian Meal

2007-05-30T19:38:00.000+08:00

Had a rather healthy dinner just now. Bought a packet of rice from this foodcourt next to ChoaChuKang Mrt (near the big sweep there, not in the lot1 mall).
I seldom go to this place, but it's quite convenient for me as there's is LRT nearby :) So trained down and bought this from a Vegetarian Stall.

Mixture of Brown & White Rice, Stir-fry Toufu, Beancurd skins, Potatoes and peas.
Only $2.20 :D

Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of carbohydrates but the difference between the two lies in processing and nutritional content. If the outermost layer of a grain of rice is removed, the result is brown rice. If the bran layer underneath are removed, the result is white rice.
Thus, it is true to say that brown rice are more nutritional than white rice.

Tengyu CheeCheongFun

2007-05-30T15:52:00.000+08:00

Cheecheongfun are actually rice sheets, made from rice flour and water. The mixture is then poured into a flatpan and steamed to become rice sheets. Though usually eaten plain or with darksweet sauce & sesame seeds, these rice sheets also come with a variety of food items wrapped with it. For example, char siew, shrimps, mushrooms, and even unagi. Recently, the internet says there's cheecheongfun with durians, bananas and strawberries as well! How innovative!

Vegetable egg cheecheong fun, $2.30

A short interval between lesson time, and we decided to go down to tanglin halt to get some food. & i bought Cheecheongfun from this 'Tengyu' stall, as i have a friend called Tengyu. Lol! How coincidence!
It comes with shrimps, charsiew and turnip as well.

Good Chee Cheong Fun is one where the rice sheet is thin. & Definitely, this cheecheongfun is so thin that i can see the colour through the rice sheets! What a great visual treat!

Tengyu Cheecheong Fun and Porridge(Outlet)

Bistro Delifrance

2007-05-25T23:16:00.000+08:00

A meal for three ladies :
Mummy, Sissy, and meee!

Soup of the day.

Soup A L Oignon Gratinee, $4.90

Pates Aux Crevettes Epicees, $12.95.

Neapolitan Sauce pates Vogole, $10.50.

We were kind of disappointed in general. The waiter wasnt doing his job. We have to wait so long before the waiter came to serve us, and it's not like that place is crowded. And the freeflow of bread, we have to get them ourselves, ( Cafe Cartel Waitresses will slice them nicely for you and brings to your table ). Not only this, the food served wasnt that splendid after all.

Average meal.
The soup was nice though.

No offence!

Haha, went to Fortunate Restaurant again sometime ago, and we (1x8 of us) spent a total of $200++ Thanks Aunt for the treat!

Unlike the previous visit, we waited for almost 20mins before there's a table available for us.
We ordered a lot of similar items we had the previous time though, haha, as long as there're as tasty... :]

Fishy~ haha, that's our first item. A very small portion, so we ordered two of it. The fish was very fresh i thought, however i think there fruit cocktail was too little heh!

New dish we ordered? haha, yeah.
Not bad though, a little rubbery haha.

Yam Ring!
This wasnt too bad, i love the yam inside :D Haha, and the cashew nuts! But they give very few cashew nuts :[
I thought this was so much better from the one i had at Yan Ge, apart from the appearance.

We ordered this the previous time as well!
The Ngor Hiong or something.

Yo prawn salad. haha, and too, ordered previously. LOL, but this was one of the best dish, so definitely will order again and again yeah. haha.

LOL, same for this. I told you! Lots of items which we ordered previously!

Oh but not for this! Looks like abalone hor?
But it isnt! LOL, this was actually the Oyster Mushroom. Haha, well people might get tricked!
With thai sauce and chilli, you might want to give it a try.

& here comes the piping hot dimsums!

Lol. All same fillings >prawns.
Only the 'skin colour' varies. Not bad not bad.

DURIAN...........

Yeah, we will order toufu as well as this for every single visit.
The fried durian was really yumyum! No wonder my aunt ordered 3 plates of it when the waitress came over.

Lotus leaf + Gluntinous Rice!

My daddy wants to eat rice. So, aunt ordered this for him, we all 'kop' here and there. LOL.

Food Industrial Trip

2007-04-14T03:20:00.000+08:00

A few months ago, My aunts and I, together with my Sis, went to this Food Industrial Trip with the RC Committee in JurongWest (My aunt is one of the member).

We headed down to Woodlands Loop, whereby most of the food stuff comapany as well as food distribution point could be found there. There are more than 50 Companies over the multi-storey carpark building, but we only headed in to three of them.

First of all, We patronised this shop selling Pineapple tarts, Brownies, Cheese&Marble Cakes as well as my favourite Eggtarts.

Unfortunately, not much special brownies. However, my sis loved it.
Haha, different people have different likings.

Classic eggtarts, beautifully baked.

Unlike the ones at Hongkong Cafe, whereby they were served hot, the Eggtarts here were stored in the fridge, and were to be eaten below room temperature for the perfect taste.
I prefer this kind of Eggtarts as compared to the portugese ones.

The Cheese&Marble cake,as well as the Eggtarts, have the most number of fans that day.

Next in line, we bought Paus! We went up a level higher, and it's the dim sum industry. Lots and lots of chinese teatime delights could be found there. Without much contemplation, Aunt bought 10 Small CharSiewPau, 5 Veggie Pau, as well as 5 Kong Ba Pau!

I'm utterly disappointed with all 3 kinds of pau. They have the same characteristics = Thick Pau Skin , and very little ingredients. Not only that, the 'Ba' used for the Kong Ba Pau, totally failed. There isnt any meat but the pork's fats.

Never to buy Pau from this industry ever again.

Last shop we visited that day was the shop, which is two shophouses besides the Pau shop mentioned above. & They sells....

Yes, Shui Jing Pau.

Probably the best one out of the three shophouses we went in that day.
The were only two kinds, red bean filled & the normal veggie filled available and Aunt bought 10 of each.

I love the red bean filled ones. Not much reasons behind it, but i just prefer it to rhe veggie one. I love it so much that i finished 5 of it on the spot!

Totally delicious shui jing pau!

FoodStreet for Dinner!

2007-04-06T02:13:00.000+08:00

Yp brought us (me, yc and yq) to the FoodStreet for dinner, after over KTV-session sometime last week.

Located at Smith Street, Chinatown Food Street is a haven for all food lovers with the best local fare served the way it used to be on the streets of Chinatown.

At the Food street, one would be able to savour the best of Singapore's hawker food and too, rediscover the atmosphere of roadside dinning. The street offers over 20 types of local favourites such as BBQ seafood, Satay, Char Kway Teow or Rojak!

As soon as we found a place to settle down, we splited ourselves and went to hunt for food for dinner. And, after a few minutes, we returned back to our seats with our meals.

Here's what we've ordered!

Well, this is from Trenggnau Street which is just at the turn of Smith Street.
Presenting to you Quality Grilled Sausages in Austrian style from Erich’s Wuerstelstand.

Topped with BBQ Sauce, Tomato sauce and Mustard = Love!

You will soon realise that Mr Angmoh Erich’s been really daring as it were to be the only angmoh in Chinatown running a food stall.

This is ordered from Stall 9, WA Popiah Plus along the food street.

Homemade fried tou-fu set, $3.00

The cheapest dish tonight. There's is a salad dressing as well as a big handmade-fried toufu, drizzled with delightful sauces. We are agreed that the toufu is much much love, and was comparable to restuarant outlets! Dont believe? Try it!

Next up, 2 dishes from Stall number 8, "Chinatown Food Street Fried Kway Teow" . Yes, from
the signboard, it's can be easily deduced that this stall sells Fried KwayTeow.

Hokkien Mee, $5.00

Char Kway Teow, $4.00

I thought that the Hokkien Mee was overrated. So expensive and the portion is less than that of Char Kway Teow. The Char Kway Teow was indeed the popular one and it taste tremendously delicious, and not oily but saucy. The smell can already make us feel more hungry & drooling.

Last but not least, a plate of Fried-Carrot cake, meaning a steamed savoury radish cake, fried with eggs and preserved vegetables.

We didnt order this from the same stall as Hokkien Mee and CharKway Teow although they offers this dish too.

I felt that this dish was nice, but too little a serving and it was too oily.

After dinner, we then walked around and continued searching for food at BillyBombers.

More updates on BillyBombers soon!

PeanutButter Bday Cookies

2007-04-01T18:10:00.000+08:00

Sat morning, i was alone at home, so i decided to make something by myself, hmmm, and the first thing i thought was to bake something yeah?
& Also, wanna bake smth for Yp since i haven gave him his present.

I baked PeanutButter Cookies, with kokocrunch ears!
Here are the ingredients i used, i kind of, figure this out myself.

100g of peanutbutter (i use chunky kind)
100g of sugar
1/2 egg
40-50g of plain flour

Mix it well, to form a 'dough'.

& i got an idea from this site, the idea from happyhomebaker was so cute, look at the dog's facial expression she've made! Haha, but sadly i dont have chocolate rice at home, so i orbit the eyes part.

So, here's a packet of Koko crunch.
Add the 'ear' and the nose, using chocolate chips.

Tray must be greased. Bake it in the oven at 140 deg C for about 20 minutes. It depends actually, so just take note of the colour change.

Before and After.......

& Here's the cookies! With Yp's initial.

Belated Bday to ya!!

Ps: I think i added too much sugar, i felt that the cookies are very sweet?
Hmmm!

Hup Kee Fried Prawn Noodles

2007-03-31T11:44:00.000+08:00

Hey all, firstly, sorry for the lack of updates! Didnt really use the com much this week. haha, anyway, i baked this morning and i should be posting on it on sunday or monday :)

Yesterday, i managed to catch a movie with my clique at Vivocity. So, we caught Mr Bean Holiday, as we really need some to laugh our hearts out, kind of stressed this few weeks. Anyway, that was a not bad show, kind of funny towards the end.

So, what did we had for lunch? Vivo is well known for it's variety of restuarants, cafes, eateries, and food! Haha, we didnt know what to eat, and ended up at Kopitiam, at the basement. Haha.

So, the 7 of us spreaded ourselves out around the foodcourt, and 5 of us ended up queuing for the same thing -> HokkienMee.

This looks good yah?
A plate of hot piping hokkien mee,with opeh leaf, topped with lime and chilli, definitely very satisfying. the noodles came with three medium-sized prawns that were very fresh. The noodles were well stewed, not too soggy, with a thick gravy. The chilli wasnt spicy enough for my fill.

Not bad after all! However, i still feel that $4 is quite expensive for this plate of oodles as the portion given wasnt a lot.

HupKee Fried Prawn Noodles main branch at orchard road is well known for it's yummylicious fried prawn noodles as well as fried oysters, according to the newspapers and mags articles found at the stall. Well, try it and tell me? :D
