To prevent my friend from 继续堕落下去, I hope this song encourage her:
没有我的日子里
你会更加珍惜自己
没有我的岁月里
你要保重你自己
你问我何时MSN你
我也轻声地问自己
不是在此时不知在何时
我想大约会是在年底~~
It is really very hard to part with my 3 months of holiday nua-ness. I need to focus in school liao~
Month: August 2009
Wonders of Human Body
Do you know after you gave birth, if you continue to breastfeed, you won’t have menses?
I thought this is an amazing facts when my ex-colleague told me about this yesterday. We had a mini gathering at Fanny’s house at National Day. Prepared fried beehoon, pork and prawn dumpling soup, my mushrooms and others. Foong Yee brought her baby Yappy to her house too. Her baby is the first baby Iever dare to carry. Luckily he never cry.
It’s kinda obvious I don’t know how to carry the newborn. Yeee… So scary.
UP
Three of us caught movie UP after the HP event at ION Orchard. We tried the 3D version in Cathay Cineleisure. Any difference? The pictures look 3D indeed but after several minutes of adjustment, you kinda get used to it. I only remember the ending scene of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, one meat ball really looks like it flies pass our shoulders. Anyway, 3D tickets are also more expensive. We paid $13 flat rate, no discount with any credit cards.
Wearing those 3D glasses are still quite cumbersome for people who are with specs. It has a little protruding corner at the bridge of your nose and the corner is supposed to sit perfectly on your existing glasses. It works, but the corner is too shallow somehow and the ends of the glasses are too long. If you attempt to lay your head back, the 3D glasses may drop out.
UP is hilarious and touching. Must watch!

We Ate Only Bread For Dinner
My mum does not express her interest clearly if she is cooking tonight. So my dad, my youngest sister and me buy these ingredients for dinner. We have luncheon meat, ham, fish cake, egg, tuna mayo and bread. We have a tough fight with the splattering oil. In the end, my mum does most of the cooking.
Simple Dinner
A Funny Conversation
Suqin: 什么是百变服装？
Me: 它有一百种变化。
Laily: 它是放在衣橱后，明天会变成不一样的衣服的服装。像 Transformers 一样。
This is how we frighten and lie to each other. So don’t say you are an angel, Laily Bong.
AOBA Hokkaido Ramen
Visited AOBA Hokkaido Ramen at new ION Orchard. This restaurant is located at level basement 3, same level with several other dining restaurants too. I remembered queuing in for food only at about 9pm, consider late I guess. Barriers are set up to facilitate the queue outside, so do follow the barrier.
We ordered Shoyu Tontoro Ramen and Spicy Miso Ramen. The ramen belongs to the thick and eggy type. Compared to Ramen Santouka‘s noodle, I prefer this though. The noodle is more chewy and tasty (less bland). However, the noodle portion is considerably lesser than the normal Japanese ramen you can find. That’s why we end up eating MacDonald after that. Each ramen is given 1 shoyu egg and a piece of seaweed.
Japanese Shoyu soup base usually tastes quite saltish, Lester’s Shoyu Tontoro Ramen is just right. It is also unusual to see Tontoro meat in Japanese Ramen because they usually serve with char siew. For those who prefer leaner alternative, Tontoro will be an ideal selection. My Spicy Miso Ramen is slightly more spicy but better in taste than Aijisen’s Spicy Miso Ramen (my usual favorite). Both soups are not oily and not as hot. I am expecting a little more spring onion, onion or leek vegetable in my ramen because the display and the menu do so. AOBA Hokkaido Ramen also belongs to Aijisen group. I believe this explains some of the similarities in taste and choices. Shoyu eggs are soft and runny on the inside. I would consider my ranking of best shoyu eggs goes to Marutama Ramen, second to AOBA Hokkaido Ramen and third to Ramen Santouka.

AOBA Hokkaido Ramen is also having some promotions with their side dishes at 50% off the usual price. For people staying in the East, AOBA Ramen has another branch in Tampines One.
On a side note, I am considering if I should develope a standard procedure in tasting ramen?
Lazy Sunday Brunch
This is one of the rare quality weekends we have since holiday. Just don’t know how each weekends fly. I’ve cooked a “sumptuous” brunch before my school starts.
Lester and I try to fry the toufu with little oil at first. They just stick to the pan. The 2nd batch we add more oil and they turn out in perfect golden brown. Do the balsamic sauce and throw in the toufu for further absorption. Soak them over night. Chopped up all the ingredients when Lester send his friends home after Wii Game Day around 2am.
By the time we are awake, it’s already 1:30pm. Here comes the execution part: pan fried the prata. My dad says don’t need to oil the pan. Bluff me again. Everything goes alright. Portbello mushrooms also turn out brown but not chao dar. Chawamushi is so far the most perfect one after so many past experience. The balsamic toufu is my first atempt. I like Cedele’s one. Like the shoyu egg, the sauce tastes very different before and after chilled. I just need to add more garlic, corranider, balsamic vinegar to taste and use soya sauce instead of salt, perhaps. And i still think we need to get salted tau gua from wet market than the normal ones. Current one taste bland even though they are soaked in salt water before I fried them.
