Pampering myself during lunch!
Well, decided to cook Mee Pok (dry one by Myogo) for lunch. Decided to add an egg for more nutrition. Then thought about the fresh shitake mushrooms. Wanted a salty side dish. Then remembered that my parents gave me a small container of Swa Lor (Hard shelled, red feet and crunchy meat) prawns which are sitting in my freezer acting pretty.
So, I took them all out and whipped up a delicious meal! Now the whole house smells of soyu!
Voila: Fried sunny side egg, Stir-fry deveined prawns with shitake mushroom in black soya sauce with Mee Pok! :)
/satisfied and digging into my lunch now! :)
I really love cooking... and EATING food greedily!
Dear: Happy Anniversary, I <3 you!

Look what we are doing together!??
Magic likes to join me for naps. Well, I didn't know she had tried to imitate me like this when I am taking a nap on Sunday. Sneaky Jess took a picture of me and didn't tell me about it until just now ~.~
Oh, I also tried my hand at Lasagna on Friday. I was afraid it wouldn't turn out well (because I was way after my estimated time to complete the dish) but it was marvellous and tasted delicious! Complete with Bechamel sauce ok!??
Enjoy the pictures and drool at the the food please! Well, I can safely say I will trying my hand at Lasagna again soon! I think I like to eat it better than just pasta! The Bechamel sauce does wonders to a simple pasta-like dish!
May: Have a safe and pleasant trip back to SG!

Delicious Saturday
We had a really good on Saturday, even though we got caught in the rain. Firstly, we had our favourite niang doufu brunch! Lovely! And Horror of horrors, the stock is made from beef.... Z_Z
Then we took a bus down, wanting to go Parkway, we met our very handsome friend's gf, she's on the way to a church wedding of our friend's. Small world. :D Then it started raining heavily.. :( We were caught in the rain whilst making our way from the bus-stop to Roxy Square. New Paper was totally drenched.
Then we window-shopped a little at Parkway. But before doing so, we changed our tops buy purchasing a new one at Bossini's. Sam Yick's looking funny. They segregated the doggy/catty side from their other side. Wonder why anyway.
We were bored, so settled down at the wine shop which we always pass by but never buy stuff from it. Had a bottle of Merlot and it work wonders against the cold weather. Topped up with 100g of lovely figs and bought ourselves the new issue of 'Delicious' and New Paper (again) to browse. Drank much of the afternoon away.
Then Jess had inspiration from the cooking magazine Delicious and whipped up a fantastic meal! Here are some photos of it!
Both plates!
1 plate only!
Yummy closeup!
Friday...
was a splurge, we went to Jumbo Seafood to eat Pepper crabs... and naughtily took taxi back. lol. Indulgence!!! I was in town earlier to meet my insurance agent, then played a little WOW before meeting Jess for dinner :)

Sigh, no nice MacGames for me
Well, I scoured Funan IT mall, nothing nice. Next best thing is Quake 4, which I don't want to buy.
Today brought Wigan to Vet,... only to realise I was too early for his vaccination. Silly eh? It's 1 year from the last jab, not "1 YEAR OLD WIGAN" hehe.
BBQ last Saturday:
Was a blast! My chicken curry was godlike and the bottom was cleaned fast! Glad that most food was polished up. They liked the seasoned BBQ stuff too. Well, I am proud to say I didn't serve my guests 'trash' bbq food such as processed sausages. Hell, there wasn't even satay! Just good old seafood, pork chops. Some of them liked the banana leaf wrapped stingray ^^
The bbq pit upstairs is swell to work with, with the washbasin right beside it makes it super convenient. Jess and I were thinking of booking the pit next time... for our own private use. ;)
Most of our guests brought nice red wine as gifts for us. Now we have 3 bottles of red wine (cos drank 1 bottle le) left. hehehehe
Our "Very Handsome Friend" introed us to Sparkling Rose, needless to say we were quite hooked onto it and had 2 more bottles within a week! Gasp! What to do? Cheap and good and NICE!! Slurp!
Bad Magic Poor Wigan
Well, without warning, Magic gave our "Very Handsome Friend"'s girlfriend a big bite on her finger... it turned septic... :( We feel so bad. Ended up both were banished to the yard for the rest of the BBQ day... Poor Wigan. He was so well behaved and didn't pounce/jump on any of our guests... Magic's bite was vicious..... I mean, usually you would see it coming. This time it was really out of nowhere.... And it was her 2nd bite of the day, first one was on DY's socked feet. :(
Last Friday was Jess' birthday!
Well, cooked her very special menu as follows:
1) Flavoured red potatoes with mayo filling and caviar dressing
2) Crab and prawns steamed in chicken broth
3) Prommery Champagne
Glad she liked it! ^^
So, anyone want to hire me to cook for them? [I am serious about it] I will go to the wet market to gather the freshest ingredients and go to your abode to cook for you (and your special one as you may so wish).
Enjoy your weekend :)
P/S: Jess was on leave and so was my blog. hehehe
/weekend out

Inspirational rubbish!
Well, as we had purchased our wine glasses from Ikea, cheap and fragile, to-date, we had broken 4 glasses.
Jess broke 2 glasses (1 white and 1 red wine glass each) whilst washing them. Thankfully she wasn't hurt. Then it followed by 1 white wine glass that I accidentally knocked it over whilst it was drying on the rack. Then the latest one was a knock from a NZ wine bottle that cracked the red wine glass I was drinking from. We were quite shocked... and moreover, when the red wine glass cracked, it had a sickeninng sound. Horrible lor.
Glass that I broke whilst it was drying on rack. Decided to decorate it with some mucus-laden tissues and carrot skins :P
Today is Jess BBQ/Birthday/gathering for her pals. Hope everything goes fine... I hope I didn't miss out anything. Bought loads of fresh Shitake mushroom from Carrefour as well as some alcohol.
Yesterday we had seafood dinner- Crabs, Prawns and cutsy potato dish, topped up with Pommery Champagne. Glad Jess liked it. :D

To market to market to buy a fat pig, but I am home again home again, exhausted and weak!
Today went market to buy some food for household as well as stock up on food for the coming BBQ this Saturday.
Food not cheap, and my clogged nose isn't helping. I also bought a citrus juicer for our lemons/limes as well as a basket for the potatoes (they had been sitting on the oversized salad bowl). Jess wanted western food for dinner, so I was inspired to make some 'rabbit prawns'. But the glass prawns are so beautiful and large, worth every cent of their price of 15$/kg.
I couldn't resist but to take some pictures of them:
BEFORE
Full glory of the 8 prawns in the sun!
Glass on glass.... how lovely :)
After some handywork on them, they became rabbit prawns:-
Grey rabbits... don't you think?
Grey tired rabbits on bamboo!
Oh! Happy birthday dad!!!
