I baked! Again... this time round Cheese & Corn Flake Cookies!!! Modified the recipe I got from thebakerwhocooks.blogspot.com. Instead of getting potato chips in, I added more cheese and corn flakes. A pretty simple recipe but time consuming as one tray requires 25 minutes to bake. Plus, requires both the mixer to cream the butter and sugar and thereafter manually folding in the flour and corn flakes, which explains why my arm is aching now. O ya, I also increased the baking temperature to give it a more browny look.

the dough

tiny little balls of dough waiting to be bake

the product: tons of cookies

I ended up with LOTS of cookies as I have enough corn flakes to bake two share and not wanting to waste the corn flakes, I baked all. My colleagues will love it on Monday. =) Blueberries Cupcakes tomorrow! Mum wanna go out but I cant keep yogurt for long plus, I'm flying off on the next coming Sunday. So ya, got to bake it tomorrow.

p.s. i manage to bake some famous-amos-taste-alike-cookies last week. wahahaha. bro say I can sell them.

Had dinner with mum after my pilates @ JP. Interesting Hot Pot Noodles

Random:

one of my homecooked lunch

I'm now expert at cooking macaroni. Takes me less than 30minutes to cook a simple meal for my lunchbox. And everytime a different taste and look. *please with myself* Even jimmy said its nice when I cooked it with oyster sauce and homemade chilli the other time.

hai-na-ness (spelling?) curry chicken mix vege @ bendemeer (spelling?) rd

Been going out with one of my colleagues for audit checks this week and during one of the trip they took me out for lunch. All those audit walks really make me tried and hungry and hence the rare time I had rice for my meals taken outside. Surprise? lolz. Was pretty decent.

spacing out for a sec

Sakae Teppanyaki & Movie - Chocolate with bf yesterday

Dinner was SUPER DUPER YUMMY! Call me a turtle if you want but I dont care! I'm really charmed by bf for bring me to a teppanyaki dinner which was our first time and a very enjoyable one. Plus, it was something we wanted to try a long time ago but dont bear too due to the price tag. But bf insisted we have that for dinner though my heart was aching the whole night.

We had 2 set dinner (chicken & seafood) which consist of those stuffs they cook in front of you, salad, rice and miso soup - total cost with drinks $54. O ya, I had their lemonade and it was wonderful coze its sour. =X

salad

I seriously love the salad. Veges are fresh and crispy, plus theres some lobster meat. Was pretty surprise by the freshness of the veges. But I find its being serve with too much salad sauce, the sauce actually cover the freshness of the veges.

our food..

frying veges (our last dish)

salmon

HEAVENLY! Esp eaten with the skin due to the thin layer of fats. I was afraid that the salmon will be over cooked but its not. Instead its so done prefectly. I wish I can taste it again soon...

oyster

Bf heart ached when the chef put this on the hot plate for grilling. He rather have it fresh out of the shell. It was so damn big that you can bite one mouth off and see what is exactly inside a oyster. And its fresh out of the tank too. Yummy..

bamboo clam

The texture was somewhat that of a grilled sotong but softer. And being BIG, its enough for us to share.

chicken & tofu steak

The chicken was normal but the serving was pretty big. Nothing special about it. But for the tofu steak, I had one piece and gave the whole to bf. Pretty disappointing. Wheres the taste of STEAK?! None. Its just grilled egg tofu with some diced carrot and bell pepper on top with some sauce. And its suppose to be tofu steak. We were expecting some kind of beef that we can see.

tiger prawns

They over-cooked the prawns. Too dried when served. As expected. And, theres too much garlic with it that you can no longer taste the sweetness of prawns! Over-cooking it add to the tastless-ness too. Not to mention the hardness of it.

wild mushroom

Pretty ok but lack a hint of 'shiok-ness'. Maybe a bit of oryster sauce would help.

mountain of vege & beansprout

Like the vege more than the mushroom.

Look at the amount of garlic leftover. Bf got sick over the taste of garlic. Maybe they should cute down on the usage of that. Garlic is a pretty strong taste vege, too much of it will 'numb' the taste bud from tasting and also overpowering the natural taste of the food its suppose to complement instead. Plus using garlic for everything make almost all the food taste the same. Even bf find the taste getting more flat and no excitement in it somemore as the more he ate. Horrible ya? To have garlic spoil the food.

Conclusion: Not somewhere you wanna go on your first date or when you wanna kiss you date.

After the wonderful dinner that kept me busy the whole time (eating and taking photos), we walked around and dar brought me to the crepes shop at B1. Wonder if he remembers I once told him I wanted to eat there but at the end we didnt because he said he dont like crepes.

chocolate crave

Piece of crepes on the bottom with a scoop of lava chocolate (chocolate ice cream with pieces of cookies in them), pieces of cookies and chocolate sauce over the whole plate. Love it. Good for sharing if not you will feel damn guilty after eating the whole plate, sinful. The crepes goes well with the ice cream, both with a certain degree of stickiness. Even bf agrees with me. But at $5.50 per plate, I doubt I will want to have this too often. Scoop of ice cream with crepes cost $3.50.

mango crystal

Mango cum sago ice blended. Pretty nice drink to go with the dessert above. The sweetness of the chocolate ice cream did not make this drink tasteless, instead you can taste the mango taste even more.

Bf basically fed me the WHOLE NIGHT! He almost bought me popcorn for movie, luckily I stopped him.

Chocolate is a pretty nice movie but too much fighting for me. Its almost I can feel their pain. *yucks* Worth the money but not for the weak-hearted, e.g. chicky!!!

Am not used to this new life of not rushing to school after a long day at work, of not having any assessment to rush, of not needing to study.

Argh. This is so frustrating!!!!

Dinner at bf's yesterday and rotted.

And I miss him!!!!! Sighz. Can only see him on Saturday.

After getting some comments and surfing the blogs, I shall try to bake muffin AGAIN! Maybe next week. Just wanna do something simple this weekend if possible.

Collecting the recipes that I like to try my hands on. Mostly muffins and cookies. After I get a hand on it, maybe a cake.

Cooked my lunch for tomorrow using spage sauce. It turns out looking like Korean Mix Rice. lolz. Taste like it too.

Am happy. To cook and bake. =)

Quite a number of photos, from the past 3 days. =)

YH's 21st. But still waiting for the group photo with birthday girl! :

chicky & babana

ah tong & me

18May08 - Sunday, a windy cum sunny day with mr lee aka bf


Had a big bowl of laksa at clementi. Told him to order $2.50 for me but he insisted on $3 and I finished it!!! Trimmed my eyebrows too. The person damn rough. I'm so afraid that I will open my eyes and it will start bleeding out of nowhere. Scary. Never going there again. Then rotted at his place till his friend called and ask us out for dinner. Actually planned to eat Roti Prata opposite Jurong East Polyclinic, o well, he will have to bring me there another time. =)

While rotting....

the 40 over 'dogs' that he used to bluff me over

his collection of drinks and cups

his beloved fish tank and my black ghost fish is also inside!!

on the bus home (his home)

before going out

me in his messy room. mine is tidier NOW!!

We had a LONG drive before going for dinner coze we got lost while going to Funan from Woodlands. 2 whole hours. From CTE till Katong area till Rocher and somehow to Marina Way finally back to ECP and through Vict. Concert Hall and we reached! I salute bf's map reading. =X

Dinner @ MS Center Stage

This sucks. They should have park this course under the spag area. *pui* The chicken slices was pretty tastless. The spage too, I poured lots of cheese in and still I didnt finish it.

bf had what I had the last time round. Though the beef is cooked way better yesterday and the spag share is much more! Its so much better than the last time we ate there. Which was on our 6th mth.

Expensive Snail. I LOVE the olive and garlic. Yummy. I got have ate 1/2 loaf of break with the sauce.

Overall. Not a place I wanna go again unless I'm was given a choice between this and Jack's again. I totally dont wish to step into MS's Jacks again. Hate the food.

Out of sudden I had a bad tummyache and bf have to cancel his clubbing to send me home. Feel so guilty. But no use arguing with him, he will just get upset and piss. But thereafter he will reassure me its ok as he can drink anytime with the liquor he has at home. -_- him and his drinks


19May08 - HOT day

I BAKED today! Muffin. Banana Muffin and Cheese Muffin. And the first reaction I got from bf is why no chocolate muffin. -_-

mum trustworthy mixer from donkey years ago which she say she will give me on my wedding day.

the yucky looking mixture

waiting to go into the oven

they 'breath', raising up and down

and turn brownish

72 muffins. 24 banana and 48 cheese.

I think I will cut down on the soda next time, the muffins had a soda taste. A pretty simple one to do. Cherries upside down next time! Maybe next sunday. Or peanut butter cookies. Or just more muffin. I'm happy I baked!

Dine out today. At some cantonese place along macpherson road. Pretty long way there. And I keep pee-ing and shit-ing. =X

Back to work tomorrow. Sighz. I wish the weekend can be longer.

Hadnt had just a nice long time with bf.

On the bright side, I'm flying soon. Giving bf a whole week of freedom. =X Thinking to go viet in oct or not. =)

Nite nite!

Rotted the whole day at home till 4plus that we left our house for Katong. Some Hong Kong Cafe. Had a stupid headache when I woke up in the afternoon. *kuku*

happy punch

7-up with jelly and fruits. Pretty stupid drink. But the name is nice.

crispy noodles

Food was so-so. Especially the main courses. Not worth the time and money. But the snacks are pretty tasty. Wonder where mum found out of this eating place. Pestering bro to bring me to the Katong Laksa. =X

*yawnz*

Am bored and tired.
