S.H.E 2gether 4ever Concert @ S'pore - 26.10.13

Finally have waited for this day to come ever since I got the tickets for me n my luv. Every dae and nite I have been counting down and finally yesterdae had came. Uhoo~

Tim Ho Wan at ERA Centre, Toa Payoh

I was waiting day and night once I heard that tim ho wan will be opening its 2nd outlet here at Toa Payoh. Wasn't too sure which part of toa payoh until when one day I walk past ERA centre(previously was entertainment centre). I was happy and finally wait till one day later after its offical opening which was on 8th of this month.

Have been sharing with my frenz when i got this news. Finally on one of my fren gathering to celebrate one of my fren b'dae, we decided the menu to be here. ^.^

The menu~

We total order 13 items and share among the 5 of us.

Congee with lean meat, century egg and salt egg. I must say this is type of congee you shd look forward to as the texture was much more thicker when compare to those coffeeshop congee as theirs is more watery.

Tamoya Udon

Been to this place after shopping in the japanese supermarket: Meidiya located at liang court. I simply love their udon and what's more  that you can chose your own tempura to go with it. Initally I want to try out the curry udon but needs to wait a while so I chose other udon. Plus the price was super cheap. Each person is about $10++.

I also love their apple vinegar tempura sauce. Btw the top one is my bf's kake udon and mine is zaru udon.

Can refer to their website for more details..

My luv's b'dae celebration

Opps I did it again. Long time din post some new post.. Was simply tired after a day's work too. (Well can say is excuse =p)

Think this post is about back dated 2 weeks more??

Anyway have been practising some cake recipe before I bake a actual b'dae cake for my luv.. In another words means test 'market' to see if he like the taste.. =)

Initally chose a lemon yoghurt butter cake recipe cuz I can add in some decoration but I change my mind to chocolate lemon yoghurt cake since both is same recipe.

The process of making lemon yoghurt butter cake..

Left: 1st attempt, right: 2nd attempt. 

Baking of Strawberry Muffins

Last week I bake strawberry muffin. Give some to my fren meizhen,my luv and his family and my colleagues too.  Meizhen say nt bad whereas my colleagues says is better than the chocolate muffin which I bake last time. I think this is because butter plays as it not only give the muffin a nice smell and it also add moisture to the muffin again.  

The strawberry batter~ 

I am so gald that I managed to capture the right timing of heat when baking it.. As most of them did not burnt.. A great pat on my shoulder.. Keep it up for myself!!!

Maybe next time round shall try out blue berry muffin and try chocolate chip muffin with butter in it.. hehe^^

The recipe can be found here.

Habitat Coffee

Went to this cafe a week ago to celebrate one of my fren's b'dae.. I was there early than the rest so I relax and took some picture there..

Part of their deco on each table.. 

Yellow Submarine

Yeah finally gt to eat this with my luv a couple of weeks ago.. Plus is so near my house.. ^^ We order Set 2(oregano) & set 5 (Chic submarine).. The sandwich was cut into half so we both can try each other set.. I find the bread for the set 5  was more frangant and sweeter. Well their concept is really so alike to subway.

I like the cheese fries. To my surprise the cheese was pipping hot when I bite into the fries.. At first I thought it may be the same like kfc cheese fries and my luv like it too. Cuz the cheese smell wasn't too strong so is still acceptable to him. ((;

The staff also recommend us their signature brownie:Choco Bomber. I like the chocolately taste. Slurp!!

Here is the price breakdown list:

Set 2(oregano) : $ 9.90

Set 5 (Chic submarine) : $9.50

Choco Bomber : $2.80

Total amount : $22.00

Hmm.. The price abit too costly though the food not bad and was innovative enough..

Baking again

This time round I tried baked some chocolate chip and I am so gald that it turns out so well. hehe^^ Is so fun  baking. I find that baking is much more easier than baking chiffon cake. As chiffon cake need to separate egg yolk and egg white. Egg white need to be more stiff enough than can combine with the egg yolk batter. Whike muffin just combine dry and wet ingredients will do. But the less I oso do enjoying making chiffon cake.. Next up I will trying to bake strawberry muffin too.. 

 For the recipe, can refer to my recipe blog here..

S.E.A Aquarium & Maritime Musuem - 23.5.13

Had been planning tis trip to S.E.A Aquarium with my dearie fren some time ago and have been so looking forward. Hehe^^

 

 

 So many fishes =D

My recent bakings

Recently I quite in baking mood again(partially is because my cake flour is expiring soon =p) after so many couples of months after trying out on a coffee chiffon cake which till date I still did not suceed in the end. Look through many post in one of my favourite blog(Cuisine Paradise's blog) which I follow very frequently. Feel very tempt to try out the chocolate chiffon cake. I am so gald I did it and is still a success even though the color is not the kinda color which I expect it will turn out.

 I simple love the chocolate taste in it! So yummy!

And yeap, I use happy call pan to bake it. 

Next up, I try baking some orange vanilla loaf cake which is in cupcakes verison last week. 

Oh mine after I finish baking, the orange smell so nice and stong that it stay long in kitchen. Since I did not have those electric oven, I use my house oven toaster to bake and that explain why my cup cakes part of them are burnt but taste is nice and fragant. I will try baking again. 

Interested to try out the two cakes yourself too? Check out the link below:-

My passion about cooking

Many people commented that I am such a great cook. Even my workplace cleaning anutie says that my bf is damn lucky to have me cook for him. Hehe..

Well, what they did not know is that I did not develop my passion for cooking since young. In fact in primary school days, I wasn't keen in cooking stuffs even though I got play those cookery toys set. =p It was only until when I reached puberty stage and was schooling in secondary school, that is when my passion in cooking slowly develop. I love eating instant noodles. I will often cook them on frequent basis and most of the time is like for breakfast or something. I will just stand in front of the stove and taste one mouthful of soup  and another mouthful of noodles. I dun noe how cum I can develop such a weird habit. Ahaha~

Paradise Inn

A few weeks ago, I went with Puay San to have dinner at Paradise Inn b4 we making our way to this yr Ang    Bao River.

We order pork belly bun, coffee flavour pork ribs, mini wok tofu with pork floss, stir fry pork with vegetables and some dessert.

Pork Belly with some buns: surprisely I tot this dish will taste veri oily and I think the restuarant handle this dish veri well.  I dun find this dish too oily and is veri appetizing.

Coffee flavoured pork ribs: Among all the dishes we ordered: I prefer this dish the most. Probably b'cuz  coffee is one of my favourite beverage tat y I like this dish lots. For those who hate eating pork ribs with bones, rest assured that you will definately like this dish alot. While chewing on it, I do  not have any difficulies as I can't find any bones with it and is very meaty. Meat lovers will sure luv tis tis dish.

DIY nails again~

Remember my last post which I mentioned abt my ribbon DIY nail art? So here it is.

Here's what you need:

1. Few scotch tapes
2. White, silver and black nail pen
3. White colour nail polish

A) Firstly, I cut the scotch tapes into thin pieces and lay them out as shown in the above picture.

B) I place the scotch tape over my finger just like the above.

C) I apply the white color/ back colour nail polish on alternate nails. (Note: this will be part which will be the same color as your ribbon color)

D) Next, I remove the scotch tape and apply the other colors onto the painted portion of my nails.

E) Next by using a nail pen, I draw a ribbon which is different color from the bottom color of my nails.

F) Lastly in the centre of the ribbon, I use the silver color nail pen to draw a circle.

Is easy isn't? By the way I got this idea from the below video by bubzbeauty.
