special birthday concoction

2007-08-06T19:13:00.000+08:00

The flower was added specially for me. The bartender plucked a fresh bloom from the vase. The beautiful concoction has green and red sugar sprinkled on top which makes it really pretty. And Christmassy.... so there you are, a close up shot for your admiration....

2007-08-06T19:08:00.000+08:00

A special concoction for my birthday!

It has Bailey's, Peaches, Vanilla Ice-Cream, Kahlua...

Yummy....

2007-01-03T10:19:00.000+08:00

It's January and it's time to prepare for sweetie's birthday party this month. Yes, it's this month! Husband keeps asking me what the date is so I think we're all not quite awake to the idea that it's coming up. Not yet decided on what cake to have too, this year, but was thinking of something different from last year.

So, decisions to be made yet:

what time?
what to eat?
what cake?

decisions that have been made:

venue
guests (half way)
decor (no decor that is)
sweetie's birthday dress

Tajin Chicken

2006-10-24T23:19:00.000+08:00

This is pide, somewhat similar to a mutarbak to me, but baked instead of fried and with cheese inside. Yummy

2006-10-24T23:18:00.000+08:00

Turkish kebab...not sure how authentic this one is but kebab is one of my favorite turkish dishes, though actually i must quantify by saying I dont' know manY!

2006-10-05T22:28:00.000+08:00

Minced meat brinjal. I seldom eat brinjal, think this is the second time I've really eaten.

Seafood!

2006-09-16T00:52:00.000+08:00

Nice spread of seafood in this platter. Very fattening I'm sure, but satisfying and the peppery grilled taste is pleasantly savory. Not a wow, fantastic dish but good enough.

2006-08-30T23:09:00.000+08:00

Bibimbap - one of our favorites...can eat with the chilli or without.

2006-08-30T23:08:00.000+08:00

Bulgogi - Beef...sweet, love the onions and spring onions, but be careful of your breath afterwards...

2006-08-30T23:06:00.000+08:00

Wonderful colours of the different side dishes in Korean Cuisine. Clockwise from left: Shitake Mushrooms, Sweet potato balls, Seaweed with cucumber, Long beans with carrots, Kimchi, something I suspect made with beans - our favorite of the lot.

JerL: When I read this post, I messaged Slushy over "Hello" that it should be long beans with sausages, not carrots. Then we zoomed in to look at the dish to discover that there was both! But Slushy ate the carrots but not the sausages. I ate the sausages but missed the carrots! This is so funny! lolx.

My personal favorite is the Sweet Potato Balls, which I think it was the sweet sauce that attracted my sweet tooth. The Seaweed with Cucumber dish - I like the seaweed but not the cucumber, but Slushy likes the cucumbers but not the seaweed! She found the seaweed too fishy. But I like the taste of the sea.

Both of us hated the Shitake Mushroom dish which was very tasteless. This is rather strange as both of us are mushroom lovers.

2006-08-30T00:55:00.000+08:00

Coconut Ice-cream with pineapple sauce topped with chopped pistachios by Swensons. Interesting concoction but can never match the coconut ice-cream that I tasted in Bangkok. Reminising the taste.

2006-08-30T00:53:00.000+08:00

Rodeo Wings and Deep Fried Mushrooms by Swensons. The side dishes really tastes great! Both were juicy in description! Try them out!

2006-08-30T00:50:00.000+08:00

Cheese Beef Burger from Swensons. This is a new dish and the beef patty tastes pretty juicy! If you want ice-cream, I suggest 2 person sharing this burger to keep some space in your tummy.

Curries!!! Any takers?

2006-08-24T22:35:00.000+08:00

Went with Slushy all over Orchard Road in search of good food and we finally ended up at this Korean restaurant at Heeren. After eating our fill, we were not satisfied with the food at all and told ourselves that we were not going back there again. What a let down for the amount of money we paid.

Guess good food doesn't exist at Orchard Road. Need to scout around for good food places and note them down. Was watching this TV program called Glamourlicious or something where 4 DJs went around Singapore to introduce the best curries found. Managed to note down these 2 and we shall go and explore some day?

Opens: 11.30am to 10pm; closed on Sundays
This stall holder is a Thai lady and she serves yummilicious Thai green curry, red curry, white curry. And this dish called Prawn in dried red curry sauce... looks really appealing. Indeed home-cook Thai food.

Japanese Curry - by Curry Favor
39 Stamford Road #01-09 Stamford House
This restaurant serves more than 200 kinds of Japanese curry dishes! Wow.. I'm impressed. Japanese curry, unlike other curries, does not have coconut milk added. Thus, the Japanese curry tastes more sweet and smooth. It is a different experience.

I'm looking forward to going down to savour the curries! Any takers?

2006-08-21T21:31:00.000+08:00

what a beautiful presentation again! by Les Amie - The Canteen

2006-08-21T21:30:00.000+08:00

what a pretty presentation!

2006-08-21T01:39:00.000+08:00

Salmon sashimi - fell in love with these recently. I guess it's an acquired taste. Didn't use to like these until recently. Been having craving for raw salmon sushi almost every other day! Need them really fresh though.. Never eat those from the conveyor belts. Serious! Bacteria multiplies really fast. So make sure the serving is fresh from the kitchen.

2006-08-21T01:36:00.000+08:00

Shishamo - my favourite Japanese dish from Aijisen

2006-08-21T01:35:00.000+08:00

Morning cuppa!

2006-08-15T21:53:00.000+08:00

thosai I had for breakfast. Lately have been eating a lot of this.

2006-08-11T23:52:00.000+08:00

Sesame ice-cream with a sweet pastry with red bean and pumpkin filling. Totally delicious. Slushy finds it a bit too sweet, but I've got a sweet tooth. It's totally yummy. Love sesame ice-cream! My favourite! By TCC.

2006-08-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

Chocolate moose. Pretty presentation but the taste is so-so. Not chocolaty enough for my liking. From TCC

2006-08-11T23:39:00.000+08:00

Tuna cubes that are half-raw-half-cooked with sweet mango slices in between and wasabi sauce. I prefer them either totally raw or totally cooked. The half-raw-half-cooked combination is indeed a bit wierd. Nevertheless, the presentation looked quite pleasing to the eye. From TCC

2006-08-11T19:21:00.000+08:00

Fruit Brewz - the flavour for the night is blueberry. This house beer is light and smooth. A homemade concoction by Brewerks. For someone like me who doesn't fancy beer, I must give it a thumbs up.

2006-08-11T19:19:00.000+08:00

Shepherd's pie with chunky well-sauteed mutton pieces underneath smooth mashed potato and cheese. Yummy! Also from Brewerks at Clarke Quay. My favourite dish of the night. Apologies for a not so well-taken pic. My hands were shaking! Must take a fast pic and start eating!

2006-08-11T19:17:00.000+08:00

Sweet chicken wings with barbeque sauce. The sauce has blue cheese chunks in it! What a nice surprise! Also from Brewerks at Clarke Quay.

2006-08-11T19:15:00.000+08:00

Potato Skin with melted cheese on top. Great snack with beer. Also from Brewerks at Clarke Quay.

2006-08-11T19:14:00.000+08:00

Nachos with 3 different dips. Yummilicious. You should not miss this dish. A little fattening, but who cares? Also from Brewerks at Clarke Quay.

2006-08-11T19:11:00.000+08:00

Mussels in cheesy sauce. Delicious for seafood lovers. Brewerks at Clarke Quay. It's very pack, so please make reservations before hand.

2006-06-04T23:34:00.001+08:00

Green curry....fgm was raving about this dish she had in thailand so we decided we'd like to try and found that it was included in the buffet

2006-06-04T23:34:00.000+08:00

The buffet spread at SIAM kitchen....not bad for $14.90/pax

2006-05-29T00:26:00.000+08:00

My all time favourite breakfast - Honey stars in milk and honey. Served at my favourite Arnoma hotel, Bangkok.

2006-05-29T00:24:00.000+08:00

Black glutinous rice with Vanilla ice-cream. We don't really like this concoction. The black glutinous rice is too dry and hard. Think it'll taste better if there was coconut milk with the glutinous rice. Our local Bubur Hitam tastes much nicer! Also found this at Siam Paragon food court at Bangkok

2006-05-29T00:22:00.000+08:00

Mango ice-cream with fresh fruits!

2006-05-29T00:21:00.000+08:00

The famous Mango Glutinous rice with Mango pudding and Mango ice-cream! Found this in the famous Mango Tango Restaurant at Siam Square, Bangkok. Highly recommended! But this dish is really heaty because mango is a heaty fruit. My nose bled that same night when I returned to the hotel.

2006-05-29T00:17:00.000+08:00

Deep fried banana with vanilla ice cream and strawberry sauce. Found in The Hunters Restaurant at Bangkok. It tastes like goreng pisang, except the batter is more crispy. Tastes much better than Banana boat! Great idea!

2006-05-29T00:14:00.000+08:00

Fried Fish with Spagetti. The western cuisine tastes not too bad. This is also found at The Hunters Restaurant.

2006-05-29T00:11:00.000+08:00

Thai-style crispy salad served with chilli dips. At first, thought the crispy thing was fried salmon skin or something similar, but we were so wrong! It tastes like prawn crackers with sour mango salad. Interesting concoction. This is found in one of the western food restaurants in Bangkok, the shopping mall with Big C Supermarket, located right next to our hotel.

2006-05-28T23:59:00.000+08:00

Authentic Thai-style Green Curry! My friend's favourite and we spent 2 days looking for this dish in a couple of restaurants and hotel eateries, but end up finding it at Siam Paragon Food Court at Bangkok. This only costs 50 baht (about S$2) and it is yummilicious! We finished the curry to the last drop!

2006-05-28T23:55:00.000+08:00

This dish looks suspiciously like Vietnamese spring rolls. Prawn, beancurd and fresh greens are wrapped in kway teow. Taste like our local Chee Cheong Fun. My friend didn't quite like it as it tastes too raw with the fresh greens. Also found this dish in Siam Paragon food court at Bangkok.

2006-05-28T23:45:00.000+08:00

Found this dish at the food court at Bangkok Siam Paragon. Not sure whether this is an authentic Thai cuisine or Vietnamese cuisine. The sauce is sweet soya sauce with sweet beancurd, dried prawns and sweet sausage that tastes like ba kwa.

my poor blog got spammed...

2006-05-26T22:45:00.000+08:00

Some irritating spammer has very superbly left tell tale signs of his/her footprints in our blog. Such sweet spammer called anonymous. This has become more or less my blog now and I'm irritated.

2006-05-17T00:25:00.000+08:00
