fooding splodge...

thanks for all the encouraging comments on my tagboard =) i was really touched to read them, esp from friends who're so far away and whom i really miss very dearly.

this weekend's been rather relaxed and filled with sleeping and going out. i did help my parents clear out the storeroom because we found this humongous rat the length of about 2/3 my arm, not including its really long curly tail. ugh gross. when mum lifted this big picture frame that we stored there, it scampered out, causing my mum and maid to shriek really shrilly. it then wavered underfoot near my mum for a split second before it ran out of the storeroom, past me, into this clump of bushes in my garden. dad the-too-late-hero ran out of the house with his golf club - a no.8 iron, but was too late to catch the scrouge. thoroughly freaked out by the scampering rogue, we gave the storeroom a thorough cleaning, and even a new coat of paint. what an adventure.

i havent posted any food pictures for quite some time, so here are some photos from fairly recent fooding adventures:

gorgeous gorgeous east coast road prawn mee, with lots and lots of chilli powder and fairly big prawns! yummy! gosh i can practically taste it in my mouth now, and its really making me salivate, even though i had it 2 weekends in a row. these photos were from the first weekend, when i went there with marcus and zhenzhen, after the public health screening at toa payoh. we had a wonderful time, with delicious bowls of prawn mee, lime juice, and a huge plate of ngoh hiang!

posers posing with our wonderfully delicious prawn noodles after a hard morning's work at toa payoh hdb hub. i'll blog about some of the more interesting encounters there in another post.

on the recent saturday after CAs, i finally got to go to sun with moon with my parents! nice nice set lunches, really value for money. my dad enjoyed his seaweed udon with handroll set tremendously, which is saying a lot. haha... i tasted it too! its like japanese food that's a little different from our usual boring california handroll and salmon sushi and what not. and the usual normal stuff like seaweed udon there is exceptionally tasty. yum!

the desserts are gorgeous. at least i felt that way. hahaha.

the famed tofu cheesecake that christine has been talking about sooo much, and even asked me to bake. haha its really light, and has a great texture. i really enjoyed it, and it didnt make me feel stuffed, even after the heavy lunch.

gorgeous looking green tea tiramisu. ooh! haha. its rather different from our usual tiramisu with the mascarpone cheese and liquor though. but still really light and delicious =)

and well, after class today, i got a lift home from dear celene and darryl, whereupon i set to work baking these little darlings for a couple of special people tmr! =)

ooh haha after looking at all these pictures, im hungry. =)
