Peektures: Over the Weekends
Because I wanted to get something, I asked Miss Lee to accompany me. In return, she asked me to bring her to eat ramen. I suggested Noodle House Ken as it was more convenient for me to get my stuffs
We reached there bout 1340 hours as I thought they will close at 1400 hours. Little did I know that, it was only on weekdays. I think I'm blind or something when I searched for it online. lol. Furthermore, the stewed boiled egg was sold out. So we settled for Shoyu Ramen and Gyoza
It was the first time I tried on their Shoyu Ramen as I would go for the Stewed Boiled Egg Ramen usually. It was yummylicious despite the disappointment of the charsu. They were tough, not tender enough and diffcult to bite. The soup broth was superior (Double boiled for 8 hours and no MSG added) and the noodles was tasty! It was al dente! Very springy and bouncy! But they look like those yellow noodles found in hawkers =/
Shoyu Ramen
The gyoza tasted mediocre even though appearance wise, it was nicely done. It was neither crispy nor juicy but I still like it as it doesnt have much garlic. hahah. I think I need to speak to Ken (the chef), his standard kinda dropping. tsktsk
After filling our tummies, we walked to Paragon to check out on the Crumpler before heading to Far East to find Miss Lam who was looking in pain when the hairdresser was shampoo-ing her hair. hahaa. Crapped with her for awhile before heading to our next destination. My ulterior motive for today's outing. heh
Deli
Signature Durian Puffs
Woaaaah! The durian!
This one has two eyes and looks like a mutated dog durian puff =/
My parents love it, especially my dad. I think he's addicted to it cos I think he's the culprit to finish almost everything. tsktsk. Din he told me not to eat so much heaty stuffs and now he's swallowing the entire box. And goodness, before he went to sleep he told he want to drive me there to get more next week. tsktsk
Anyway, Goodwood Park Hotel is having a Durian Fiesta now till end of July. Click here for more info
And by the way, I re-visted Miss Lam because I wanted to pass her the puffs. She din manage to eat it but I got a shock lah. She was so brave! She chopped off her hair. But the end result was pretty good. heh
Manu raped WHU 4-1 at Old Trafford. Two goals from Ronaldo, a goal each from Tevez and Carrick moved them closer to retaining the title. Tevez goal was a blast. It rocketed into the top of the net from 30 yards. At the end of the match, Fergie thanks the fans and the players paid tribute to the fans by doing the lap of honours (walking around the field). The atmosphere was great. How I wish I was theeeeeeeeeeeere in person
Somehow. Someday. Nevertheless, one more week, seven more days =)
Har Gaos from Vietnam
My muuuder asked me to try it. Okay lah, it was edible but to me it was kinda bad. lol. Besides complaining that the skin was sooooooo thick and dry and the best of all is, I couldnt taste prawns! Even the best of the best was, there's carrot in the fillings. I almost wanted to pull my hair. But since it was her effort to buy and steam it for me, I had two of it out of the many many before heading out! LOL
And I felt very accomplished for giving tuition today. I'm quite happy with myself and the kids. heheheh. You guys should be lidat every week and then I will be very pleased loh
hahah. Like very free hor. I think my first paper is next week. daaaaaaaaang. Big big exclaimation mark
Lastly, I think I shall go sleep now laaaaaah. I need to cook for the boy later in the afternoon, means waking up early. I know this is disbelieving but PLEASE trust me can =D

Peektures: Home-made food
Western - Pork Chop
That was my dinner on Saturday! Initially, I thought it's just another normal meal. Never knew a piece of pork can do such magically-wonders. I realised the pork chop had fillings till I cut it! There's ham and cheese inside. And god gracious, the cheese was oozing out of the meat which make any beings go crazy. Though I'm not really a pork eater, the combination was godly! The cheese brought out the fragrance, the ham brought out the flavours and the pork was well-marinated. The only complain I had was it wasnt teeth-friendly as the meat was kinda tough. heh. Nonetheless, it was a splendid meal. Godlike!

Tomatoes with plums
heh. Interesting? Was quite paranoid on the combination and the appearance. But.. Curosity kills the cat! I gave it a try and tsktsk, it was like a drug, addicted to it and went for a second serving. It was cooling due to the chill and the hard (plums) and soft (tomatoes) combination was pretty amazing. With every bite, the crunchy and succulent tomatoes let out a squirt which blends in fantastically well with the sweetness of the delicate plums. The texture and taste of both ingredients are beyond expectation - That's why I said it was addictive right!
However, there's a problem in eating as it can be quite messy - Plums falling out and have to eat them seperately. Fear not, after making it, put in the fridge to chill and give allowance (1 day) for the sweetness of the plums to diffuse into the tomatoes. Another godlike stuff. heh
All food credits: My Mother for her quick-minded and flexibility =D

Random.
At Yishun MRT's platform
My evening was splendid. heh. After giving tuition, headed home. Before dinner, I had the vodka watermelon to cool myself down from the heat that the crazy weather was giving me. It was shiokness. Besides having the sweetness and juiciness of the watermelon, there's also a vodka factor. I think it depends on the watermelon itself; it has to be sweet. Otherwise, the taste could be quite terrible. hahah. And different types of vodka vary too. heh
I think I shall continue experimenting with it, secretly though. lol. Because, my maid and mother gave extreme sights on the taste of the vodka melons. Thereafter, I heated myself up again by having steamboat. Sluuuuuurp! Filling to the max. heh (And to whom it may concern, your efforts are well-appreciated =D)
Watermelon soaked in Vodka
Then, it was soccer, two big matches. It was Man Utd crushing Liverpool 3-0 first and the Reds looked like they could never get back into the game. Then, the win coupled Arsenal's loss at Stamford Bridge thrusted the Devils back to the top. Five points clear with seven games to end the season
Liverpool's Javier Mascherano is sent off for dissent as his team trail 1-0
He finally scored against Liverpool
That's how a champion plays. heh

Peektures: Steamboat at My Place
The next once-a-year biggest affair happening in my place where my family members will invite their closest friends to gather around the table from evening to night for a variety-seeking sumptuous feast. For this year (during the span of 15 days of CNY), we had a steamboat affair and fruit salads as side and tangyuans with read bean paste for dessert
I'm pretty sure that majorty of them had their fills and had fun too. I had my fair share of amusing entertaintment and laughters - The dialogues, the happenings that occured live in the house was rejoicing. After a few days of lying low and quietness, my house was lively again, festivitely high
Fascinated over Jay's dvd concert
Forever a rascal
HUAT AH~

Kudos to the greatest woman - my mama, who made everything possible tonight even though she had a long day at work and rushing home to monitor and doing everything personally and making everyone so homely and filling. heh. And to everyone who came. Loves

Photo Galore: CNY
Reuse these flowers for Valentine's, anyone? hahah
Japanese and Chinese fusion =P
Scallop
Engrossed in 手足
Actually, there's more food because we ate from morning till night just that the photographer wasnt doing her job. hahah. All these were for dinner for thirty odd people. Besides these, we had fried noodles and beehoon, Sphattegi, desserts and sharkfins throughout the day. 真的是过个大肥年咯！Credits go to my Mama who slogged in the kitchen for the whole day. hee. Love! What a marvellously yuuuuuuuuuuummu dinner! And of cos, she deserved all the praises and thumbs up from everyone =) I think she should be feeling savory sweet when all the dishes she whipped out were wiped out, and even more satisfying when it's all swept within half an hour! heh
Bravoooo!!
The next day headed to my maternal grandpa's house and paternal's uncle house. First time that I engaged in gambling activities and I won. hahh. Beginners' luck I think =P
Playing Wii
