-_-

Got fooled around with for a year +.
If it's too good to be true, it probably is a lie.

2nd only person i ever feel so disappointed + pissed off with in my entire life.

Since the last time i posted.

CNY came. Only took one particularly attractive pic.

deep fried pork! YUM!

and went to Century Square @ Tampines Central for Popeyes.


Mashed potato. Think this can be considered the best thing i had there.
Kinda like the chunks of minced meat in the salty sauce.


Cajun Fries = Long john silvers + mac twister fries
Nice and crispy.


Calamari rings.. barely warm, not crispy, not tasty.. SUCKS!


The chicken, less floury then kfc, quite tasty. but recently have more of a liking for korean style fried chicken :D

Chicken Wings!

Cooked for lunch today along with steamboat!
omg so full now... 3 days of 'feasting' hopefully i dont put on toooo much this CNY!

Weekend Stuff

Baked cookies, bread and made konyaku jelly over the weekend


almond cookies baking in oven

peanut butter dark chocolate chip cookies baking in oven

Almond cookies! placed too much mixture into some of them..

Tried putting mini m&ms in.
1) didt have much cause sis kept eating them!
2) apparently m&ns melt in ur mouth, not in ur hand and blows up in the oven!


i think i need to add in more chocolate chips next time

same here.. MORE CHOCOLATE!


Stuffed bread. Mostly ham + cheese + mushrooms.. and just for fun 1 with rasins for mum

Bread baking in process


half-sectioned view of stuffed bread, this one has cheese + ham + mushroom + potato

wasn't careful with the ham and some came out.

bread all cut up. those markings are burnt cheese!

lastly mango flavored konyaku jelly with nata de coco cubes inside =)

Relaxing weekend.. CNY next week!

New York New York

Met up with some of the old tkd gang for dinner @ new york new york at citylink mall.

Giant Hamburger!
Pretty decent burger, would have been better if fries were crispier and they had different sauces to go with the fries. Burger was nice and juicy though bun was nothing special.

Stuffed Bread

tried making stuffed bread on sunday

'arranging' ingredients to go within the bread.. forgot to take a shot of everything, but had like ham, cheese, eggs and mushrooms! sadly not enough mushrooms and i should be more generous with the cheese.


trying my best to roll up the dough


it looks so squashed and uneven cause when i first started out, i forgot how big my oven is! end up had to like squash it together >_< [note to self: MEASURE the oven before making the dough and rolling it up]


baking in the oven


End result [too close to the top , so bread got abit charred]


End result sliced into pieces.

Suprisingly, my mum actually liked it, and my sis wants more mushrooms next time :D

Mochi [Failed = Muachee]

Wanted to try making mochi

b4 microwave


after microwave


nuts b4 pounding


nuts after pounding

Nuts appeared 'wet' and had problems making into smaller bits, i think i shall just buy those rdy made ones next time


mixture was toooo hot to handle, so end up become muachee!.. LOL

Sungei Road Laksa

Sungei Road Laksa


lao uncle preparing the laksa


Laksa eaten with spoon only, no chopsticks! lovely juicy hum(cockles), not spicy soup (so mild till even my sis eats it, but of course she does not mix in the chilli), packed in a small~medium sized bowl and all for the price of just ... $2!
Its like prices of 10+ years ago! not so much coconut milk as other places, so less fattening for those health conscious ppl, and as its not a super big bowl, it helps cut down on the amount u eat. (though those who like it, can eat 2 bowls at a go easily enough)


Rojak here is good too.

Chicken rice here is cheap, at just $2 a plate, taste is decent too. No pics as my sis ate most of it before i could take any =(

One of the fav places my relatives love to go to fairly often. Do note that there is a long queue if you go around lunch on sundays (like i did today)


Location as above.

sick..

no updates cause nth to write abt and i have a somewhat sore throat + a stuffed head since thursday evening... uggh

XD

a video i came across.
really funny advert, but one we most likely will never see in SG.

Zamzam, Katong Laksa and an interesting place

Morning breakfast at zamzam,
697 North Bridge Road, opening hrs 8am~11pm, 2 floors, 2nd is air-con.
2F if u cant stand heat, 1F if u wanna see the cooks frying the pratas and get the smell of food cooking and the whiff of vehicle exhaust.


ordered food and waited. first came this 2 types of curries. and plates + spoons + forks.


along with this cucumbers.


after the 2 steaming hot curries had became cold/lukewarm, the food finally arrived!
That is onion + egg prata


MUTTON MURTABAK! (already cut by dad into 4) generously stuffed with minced mutton! very tasty and best of the stuff i had there!


Mutton bryani.. the rice is normal / sub-par(tina described it as "unwashed taste")
Mutton was a big chunk, soft ..but not so tasty


Mutton Kuma(or however it's spelt) i dont like the taste of this kinda curry >_<


Chicken Kuma(or however it's spelt) i dont like the taste of this kinda curry >_<


squid in oil + chilli sauce.. nth special

In conclusion,
Go to zamzam for their murtabaks, dont bother with the rest of the stuff

Tina then said: "we should have gone for katong laksa", my dad agreed and said "lets go now for it"
(and my sister is supposedly watching her diet, so is my dad... and there they went and decided on laksa after all that food =.=) So after looking at some shops in the area


, we went all the way down to katong for laksa! i wish mine had more hums though


After eating came across this:

Katong Antique House






its a shop/house dealing with antiques of Singapore, mostly peranakan stuff, had a bunch of elderly ppl inside sitting ard lazily too. Stepping into the shop felt like taking a step back in time

BEEEEEF & potatoes

beef, cooked on each side for abt 8mins over medium heat, with butter and abit of salt. the beef browns nicely and doest get burnt if medium heat, juicy too. just that doing each side for 8mins x 5~6 sides can mean an hour standing in front of the stove, holding the beef in position with a pair of tongs.

and after cutting, abit toooooo rare for my sister's taste, so have to lengthen cooking time to get it medium instead of medium-rare / rare

and potato sidedish.

Total cooking time: 1 hr

leftover beef can be sliced up into 1/2 inch pieces, cooked till well done then mixed with the potatoes for a quick meal the next day.
