Wish list continued...

Cute add on to Wishlist...


This yellow tofu is so kawaii! But there're some stuff that I hesitate buying. It's not a need, it's a want and a spur-of-the-moment. But... I won't mind getting it ;)

Keep the Food Coming II

Desserts! I like Azabu Sabo!!! Food's great! Ambience is great... and ice-cream is absolutely lovely. Feast on the pics! I like the ice-cream coz it's not too sweet... and they're so pretty to look at! :)

Strawberry ice-cream; green-tea ice-cream; black sesame ice-cream (the best! Rich and fragrant!) and mango ice-cream.

Vanilla ice-cream with caramelized sweet potato!



My personal order-- buttery Hokkaido hot balls with dumplings and red bean paste! It's a warm and light Japanese pancake with a buttery custard filling... and it's all-so-yummy when complimented with soft red-bean paste that also has the savoury butter flavour!!!




Love it. :)

Keep the food coming!

Food is my past time.

I may be a clumsy eater, but I enjoy my fare.

The Coffee Connoisseur
See for yourselves. Aesthetically pleasing drinks with beautiful names (which I forgot)... Going clockwise, we shall first take a sip of water to clear your taste buds. Then we'll serve you smooth coffee with hints of sweet-smelling roses, topped with cream and rose petals. Take another sip of lemony-fresh cool water... and try the minty ice-coffee. Sorry about the blurred shot... but that's my drink coming next. It's pink. And it's beany. haha. It's Japanese soy milk topped with red beans. I like. When you're done, we'll have the yoghurty and fruity peach sunrise. Last but not least, there's the vanilla matcha!! Sweet-tooths will like this green-tea milkshake-type of drink. (erm, forgot to take pic la. So repeat the rose coffee. haha.)

Okie... cheers!

FooDie GooDies back at 4head!

I miss the people who are part of my growing up.

The same old prawn mee that's been there for more than 10 years. The same few people. And the same essence that makes us who we were and are still lingers. We're almost the same, minus the baby fat.

Really had a good time with my good old 4-head coffeeshop gang! wahaha.

Cheers to the prawn mee! And let's meet again in this small, small world! :)

Little ramblings

Thought of the day:
You get more involved when you have a stake in it.

Perhaps I thought I was just a small insignificant fly buzzing my way around at times. There're seasons when I'm helpful, and seasons when I'm to be swatted around. And perhaps I imagined myself to be somewhat dispensable. Nobody is indispensible, right?

So there you have it. I have no stake. When I've no stake, I only have half a foot in, and the other is tap-tap-tap-a-taping somewhere.

This half-heartedness does me no good though. I need a good kick to jump start my fighting spirit and give it my best shot. That's the attitude right? Wake up, wake up, wake up! Nothing's too small for me, and nothing's too big either!

The Lord is my helper, what can man do to me?

The FooDie GooDie strikes back!

I've been way outta the blogosphere these days coz my lappy's keyboard has been out cold. $105 got it fixed at a small, neighbourhoodly IT mama-shop counter kinda shop.

So... my lappy's back... with a vengeance. Muahahaha.

Behold the yummies before your sight!!!

(No photoshop this time! Too excited to get blogging to photoshop)

1) Mr Bean soy bean ice-cream! LOVE it! It's not too sweet, not too sticky or milky... it's smooth and all soy-beanie! And it's healthier too!





2) Pastamania's something something spicy sausage something fusilli! I drowned it in cheese and spared it from Tabasco sauce... coz it's really kinda spicy. haha. Nevertheless, thumbs up for all tomato-based sauces! I like!

Anyway, I was pretty amazed at the name of the farfalle. Quoting from Wikipedia... ' Farfalle is a type of pasta. Commonly known as "bow-tie pasta," the name is derived from the Italian word farfalla (butterfly). The "e" at the end of the word is the Italian feminine plural ending, making the meaning of the word "butterflies." '

3) I absolutely LOVEEEEEEE Donut factory!!! It's soft, it's sweet, it's tasty and it's multi-choco-flavoured!!! LOVE 'em!!





4) As always, I dig traditional desserts... and this is the 鸳鸯 version of your 芝麻糊 and杏仁糊! I like having the best of both worlds muahaha.





5) Love Soup Spoon too! Here's a $10 meal consisting of rich and creamy mushroom soup (solid solid one), a home-made tasting ice-lemon tea, a huge Caesar chicken sandwish, some tangy, spicy coleslaw with a free mini choco bar to go! The Tokyo something stew is really nice ( & therapeutic according to my fren haha) too!





6) Swenson's FONDUE!!! YUmmy!! But after trying the Fondue at Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar... ahem ahem. hahaha. I love Max Brenner's choco drinks!!! But no pics yet... In my friend's camera.





7) Corn Muffins! Home-made and freshly-baked in the kitchen of yours truly! Smells and looks good eh? But I think I overdid the cornmill. haha. It's a tad grainy la. Will work on it again. hahaha.





8) Bongo at the bird park offers some high-class fast food with high-class presentation! But... so-so la. Just thought the zebra-striped plate looks nice.





9) Swenson's Caesar salad with breaded chicken! YUMMY! The sauce is really good! A little peppery... a little sourish... and altogether very fresh and appeitizing!





10) Here's a close up on my friend's fruity and prawny salad that comes with a mango-based salad sauce!





11) My 5-head market gang finally made our move and tried this newly-opened wantan mee! The queue was long, but the wantan mee was GOOD!! Tasty! The wantan-s come in bite sizes and I can't stop popping them one after another... haha. Peeps who live near 5-head, go try!





12) Aston's Specialities!!! Really good western food at katong at really reasonable prices! $8 for a huge drink plus main course?!?! Good right! Every single side dish was yummilicious! The potatoes used in the salad ain't your typical potato... the skin's really thin... and it's just so barely cooked to perfection that it's still fresh and tasty! THe mashed potato's really silky... and the chargrilled chicken... oh mY!! It's seriously juicy and tender! Okie. My mouth's watering. 'Nuff said. Go try.


For $15 (less actually) you can try the salmon steak plus a big ice-tea! Good portion of salmon steak there! The onion rings are really crispy and the coleslaw is so well-dressed that you know it's fresh and you won't get tired of it!


This is some fish seasoned with herbs... light and good!



More food pics to keep you drooling...


and last but not least... hahaha. A picture of Slipper Swish (if you remb my Slipper Swish chronicles)



(PS: Pardon my grammar and spelling ya. Thankew velly much.)

Wishlist!

I feel a little handicapped without my lappy. It's up for repairs at my neighbourhood computer store... and the Computer uncle put it very matter-of-factly that he doesn't know when he can find the parts to fix it. In other words, it'll be at the repair shop indefinitely. And that also means... no new photo updates over here. I've tons of food pics and strange sightings to share... but sollie ah. Lappy's gone.

I'm going to linguistically and grammatically handicapped soon if I stop blogging.

Anywayz, here's my wishlist (for no good reason) at the moment:

1) Namecard holder -- to hold my one-inch stack of namecards which I'd like to bring around. They give me inspiration for the next foodie outing or chill-out session.

2) Spongey-airy L-zip hp pouch-- To keep my earpieces. I'm addicted to tuning into all my songs on the way to work. I'd feel even more handicapped when my earpieces or my phone gets damaged.

3) Handbag! -- After I bought this nice dainty bag for my friend's bday, I slightly regret not getting one for myself. Besides, lugging my huge brown runaway-bag isn't suitable all the time.

4) Rollerblades -- Had my eye on this Fila one...which has disappeared. Regret not taking up the $160 offer... but then again, I refuse to associate myself with that chikopek dealer. Sigh, and the pretty ones are all above $250!! Alamak. All are welcome to contribute to my bday buy-the-blades fund.

5) Running shoes-- Asics please. My old shoes are gone... the sole's flapping off. Come on, it's been around since my JC days leh. I want new shoesssssssss.

6) Watch -- $10 watches are not meant to last I guess. But the older I get, the more I start to appreciate dress watches.

Okie... That's all for now.

If you're kpo enough, here's one entry with my previous wishlist ---> click

Wah. The items on my wishlist are getting increasingly expensive hahaha. But some things really don't change you know. Girls will never get enough of clothes and bags and shoes and accessories hahaha.

A Slice of Life

Five seconds ago, I have just slammed my window on my ring finger. This culminated in an "Owwwwwwwwwwwwww" and resulted in a red, sore, throbbing finger which could no longer press guitar strings. There goes my plan to de-frustrate myself by spending time with my Little One (aka my guitar).

I'm constantly bruised nowadays. Literally. Blue and black all over. Perhaps I walk a little too recklessly fast at times. But that's the pace of my current slice of life. That being said, the other parts of me can't seem to catch up. It's the go-between phase of my life where I'm suffering from severe quarter-life crisis. I'm way over 21, but I don't think I'm looking like it, acting like it, feeling like it, or living like it. I don't fit the image of what you can imagine an "adult" to be. There's some missing X-factor when I relate with other "adults". This missing X-factor is probably something that means "the exact opposite of ignorance".

I get it. I'm intimidated by this adulthood because I've put myself in the same category as those in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. I expect myself to be able to relate with them, and to be somewhat like them. But I'm not. The scale is tipped. I'm at this little end where I feel like a small kid in this scale of adulthood. I probably look married to those in primary school and secondary school because that world beyond the school is unimaginably huge and foreign. No little kid would imagine a legal adult above 21 to be feeling so small and inadequate at that slice of life, would they?

I don't discuss politics; I don't read the papers enough; I don't study the stock market; I don't even notice property market changes. I don't understand the laws that make me legally adult, I don't even have the drive to own a license and I haven't even gone near thinking about starting a family.

I'm still hanging at the edge of pre-adulthood, savoring the lingering bitter-sweet taste of the past as I wait for the time when I'd ripen and fall into the adult world.
