Colourful Palates

hi everyone! It has been a long while since i've last blog due to my extreeeemeeeely busy school work, with all the examinations and all cramming my schedule. But i also want to relax a bit by BLOGGING!i will be using perfect English in order to make this 'essay' a productive one, so i hope this will gain some acknowlegements from readers, okay?Do comment on my content and my language use! I love to blog about what i've eaten. Just that my time permits me to do this often, but it will still remain my hobby to eat-snap-blog!hehe:P hmm..where should i start. why don't i just tell you about my latest dining experience which was a very memorable one.To celebrate for my grandmother's birthday, my aunt has generously generously brought the 3 of us for a lavish dinner at Peony Jade Restaurant at Clark Quay. I bet some of you would have heard of this restaurant although there is not much publicising(do not have the need to in fact..)It is situated on the second floor s...

hihihi..mama made dumplings earlier this year as she will be buzy next few weeks.So, i'm there to help her when she needs me!I will always be there for her,hehe, sounds like drama. Anyways, there is alot of preperation work and she definitely cannot cope all by herself. We started cooking the meat cut them, chopped the garlic, onions etc..wow, we work like crazy. The next day, early in the morning and mama was up and ready to start. She make sure everything is hygienic. To the extent that she boils the coconut leaves and brush them clean. Then, we proceeded fry the glutinous rice,adding garlic and oil to make it fragrant.(i'm eating the dumpling right now!)not bad leh... Next is to fry the filling. mama use pork lard oil so as to make it more fragrant. We added onions to fry till aromatic,then add mushrooms,chicken, chestnut,winter melon, pepper, fried coriander powder, soya sauce, salt..And fry and fry till evenly tossed and cooked.. hmm..smells so good already! Then it was ti...

Now..It's finally the June Holidays, but nothin' to be happy about or excite with. Luckily, i have the pleasure of coming to stay with gugu and mama for a couple of days;good enough cuz i get to eatttttttttt! First meal was the most splendid of all! We were at the lobby of Waterfront Corpthones hotel , fidgeting..And finally,the much awaited time had come,we were ushered to our seats we had booked much much earlier.Guess what?we were told that it was so fully booked that there would be 2 seatings, which means we had only 2 and a half hours to finish up everything i we had intended to eat, terrible right? I walked around the buffet table once then grabbed a plate and started my binging! First up was the Japanese section , i had 3 types of sashimi followed by 2 sushi. Then i went on to the cooked food section, there were so many and they all looked so tempting! I was so excited when i saw the pumpkins atopped the lamp chops, i quickly took my share,in case it will be snatched up ...

华文会考总于结束了。为什么没有人看我的簿落格？好失望喔！ why?hmm..so sad..is my blog that lousy?that no standard?why i see other blogs with so many comments but i don't have a single one?You call this a blog?nobody sees what you share and write?its so depressing you know?i guess i will just stop updating,its a waste of time and effort!

how did you celebrte your Mother's Day? well, mine was nothing special, just a dinner at Mong Hing Restaurant, again?yup,that's right,again..if i'm not wrong i've just told you guys about my dinner on Chinese New Year right? But this time round we had a few different dishes and they are my favourites! Firstly,there was the steamed 'chang yu'.it was quite small though but it was enough for a table of 6 or 5..then there was the crystal dumpling,both sweet and salty ones.the salty one is filled with turnip and shrimp i think,and the sweet ones with red bean tau sa,my favourite! yes,Next up is the siew mai, one for everyone,haha..not very amazing as i find the meat too tough and uappetizing. Other than these 3 dishes on the 'New' list, we had the usual veges and goose meat etc.. well..on the whole i guess this place is just worth the money to come back whenever you are craving for teochew dishes!

Celebrated my gugu's birthday there..kinda hope they will give some birthday treats for her too but guess the overwhelming crowd kept the waitresses busy enough. We went to the one at CHIJMES for the lunch..we were the earliest and took some photos at CHIJMES too! After browsing the menu, we ordered some dim sums and a crab vermicelli in clay pot because birthday girl must eat some kind of noodles mah..the dim sums were not bad as they come piping hot and the ingredients were fresh. i especially love the fried shredded yam and pumpkin as it was very crispy and not too oily. the clay pot was not bad either, the crabs were quite fleshy and the vermicelli with green onions and ginger slices was very aromatic but a bit too oily i would say. Haven eaten enough, so ordered more dim sums, charsiew bao , and xiao long bao..then along came a waitress with a plate of deep fried sesame ball with lotus paste, both gugu and my favourite o just agreed to have it although we know it will be a...

A day with much huzzle and buzzle Rows of vehicles parked (sometimes)illegally along roadsides Lugging fruits, golden money, kuehs and favourite foods of their ancestors Despite and scotching sun and drizzling , everyone was sincerely praying The temple at Sengkang was already packed by the time we reached there. without much further ado, we went to display our items in front of the ancestors and then prayed for good health, studies etc.. After the buzying around, we had our much awaited vegetarian meal for free at a corner of the temple. It was tough to find seats as the place was packed with hungry people. we had some soya milk which was thick with flavour and soothing to our stomach indeed. Dad found a seat and we hurried to queue for our food. I had the porridge first because it looks so hot and tasty. I was right, there were taukua, yam, peanuts and mushrooms in the oily but delicious porridge. Then, i rushed to take the curry vegetables and fried beehoon the moment they arrived p...
