Little Dowager

Double cheeseburger are like Big Mac but without the middle layer bun. Even so, I don’t really like Big Mac. I guess I just dislike sesame on my buns. I like buns to be smooth. Or like breakfast muffins - Just no sesame for me.

Yea you guess it, I just order Mac for dinner. Chomped it down. With a snarl.

It was an Angry Meal.

A frustrated person cannot cook.

Boiled the cauliflower, potato and corn. And then put back the cauliflower, potato and corn into the soupy stirfry.

What the fuck is this? I don’t know.

How am I going to eat this at lunch tomorrow?

I had a cup of oatmeal, 2 weetbix and black coffee for breakfast. I was hungry by 11.

For lunch, it was another cup of oatmeal and 2 wedge of papaya. Made me damn full, but by 430pm, I was hungry again.

Eh, I thought all these are supposed to make me feel full longer?! 

*chant*

my body is a temple…my body is a temple…my body is a temple…my body is a temple…

I was so pissed with myself for succumbing to a MacD double cheese burger the other day. I’ve been trying to wean off Mac D - one vice at a time - haven’t touch a synthetic potato fries/or a s**t beef patty for the last six months.

I was not even craving for it, but I was pretty darn hungry by then since I missed lunch. The burger delivered was dry, lukewarm, slightly limp and the cheese was cold. When I was munching on it, it was so tasteless I had to pile on the garlicky chilli sauce (that I love!) just to induce some form of flavour to the meat.

After an hour or so, I burped. I swear to god, my burp smells like diarrhea papaya or something.

Never again I tell you. Never again. 

I just spent $20.50 on 14 strawberries and 500g of cherries. Freaking expensive I know, but the last time I bought cheaper fruits like apples (55cent) and oranges (60cent), the apple were still around even after 4 weeks.

The strawberries were from Korea (called 香梅) and like most supermarket strawberries, they’re rather huge and crudely sized. But gosh they smelled so abso-fucking-lutely luscious and tasted even better! I figured at $9 a box for 14 berries, no one would be generous enough to spare me even one. So what the hell, I bought a box as an “early xmas gift” for mummy.

The cherries were really fresh and firm, but slightly less remarkable cos it wasn’t as ripe/dark as I would like it to be. Too bad I bruised some while carrying them home.

Wouldn’t it be really nice to give my girl friends each a box of Korean strawberries, plus a specially chosen bottle of OPI nail polish? I pretty sure they would appreciate the berries more over a bag of candies.

2 1 more hours till times out, here are 10 random and personal food traits I thought of while dwindling my time away…

1. I don’t eat roti with curry.
2. I have a strong dislike for yesterday’s curry.
3. I like Marmite. Only, on buttered toast. Yum.
4. I like my subway sandwiches soggy and smashed. With semi crunchy cucumber and lettuce. Hold the olive.
5. Speaking of cucumber, I don’t eat it unless it’s sliced thinly and soggy-fied with my chicken rice. Yea, I don’t like my cucumber fresh.
6. I think yoshinoya beef bowl is heavenly. Everything else on the menu is a waste of money.
7. I am trying hard to wean off MacD.
8. Sorry but I really find indian rojak gross. It’s an “unworthy” grease bomb. (something worthy would be KFC)
9. I almost always order Katsu Don in a Japanese restaurent.
10. I can abstain from ice-cream, chocolate, cola, chips, whatever junk food, for a long long time. Just don’t dangle them in front of me.

Wee. One more hour.

Met the girls last night for beer/pigging out session at Brewerkz.

We had Mussels, folded pizza, buffalo wings, baked potato (no good), salad, Chilli and cheese fries, saunteed mushroom, chocolate brownies and chocolate fudge cake. Of course we also had the obligatory wheat beer and cherry ale which tasted disturbing like fizzy soap water.

The mussels was fantastic with this rich and creamy sauce. My friend kept dipping everything she stucked on her fork into the mussel sauce. The dish was finished within 10 mins.

The Buffalo wings were awesome too, wished we order 2 servings instead of that lousy bowl of salad that no one finished.

The service was rather spotty that evening, both waitresses that we had didn’t know the price of certain drinks, they had to go back and forth to check. Even so, they came back with no definite answer. (”One jug has 4 shots, one shot is 45ml. So how much for a jug? “….”)

Sorry no pictures though.

Everyone says my hair is super long, “zhang de hen kuai leh”…. Honestly what’s the point of having really long hair, when there’s a huge bald spot on my head?!

If you come to my Kampong, I will bring you to the friendliest and cosiest Italian restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Serangoon Gardens.

Their Portobello Mushroom with Crabmeat features a sweet creamy sauce that’s both rich and light at the same time. The Seafood Pasta was to die for with clams and crayfish in a creamy tomato sauce. Lastly they also do the simplest yet most amazing thin crust pizza I had ever tasted.

If laidback chic and Italian food is your kinda thing, you’ll love this place.
