HOME SWEET HOME - 10 Aug 2009

IT'S ALL ABOUT FOOD!

I have overdue pics on food and here goes......

Bentos I prepared for Tom:

1. Sweet Potato Rice with CP Chicken and Steam egg. We bought the famous banana cakes from JB. Tom liked the rice but I just don't fancy sweet potatoes ;)


2. Instant Mee Goreng, Cp Chicken and Club Sandwiches from KG. I packed some rambutans for his desserts.

3. Fried Seafood Rice with CP Chicken, Steam egg and sandwiches.

4. Plain Rice, Crabstick Steam Eggs, CP Chicken and Sotong Balls. Some sandwiches as well. Tom needs lots of Carbs for energy!

These are our dinners.....

1. Steam Seafood Tofu and Sweet & Sour Pork. Tom prefer his pork less crispy and we liked the tofu dish...yummy!

2. Made my first Ramly Burger using their patties bought from JB. It was really good and we packed some for our short getaway during the National Day weekend. Will update on that soon!

3. Prepared these Prata Wraps with Tuna and had the plain ones with Yeo's Canned Curry. Tom preferred home-cooked curry!

4. This is what I usually cooked whenever there's a promotion for Unagi. We loved the NTUC Meat Balls...yums!

We fell in love with this Malay stall in a coffee shop that sold really shiok Nasi Padang in JB and from then, we became their regular customers! Cheap and good..... actually more than good! The half boiled egg was very special too... it was Kampong Chicken Egg.... yummilious!

Jo enjoying his Kaya bun from Hiap Joo (our fave traditional confectionery in JB! They sell the best banana cakes!)

Recently, we found a new place to have seafood cos we missed eating good ones in JB. Tebrau Garden's had lost it touch totally! Here's New Lucky Restaurant.....tata..... delicious seafood without burning a hole in our pockets! Aircon and clean somemore....love it!

Our 1st visit: Gil was with us and we had Cereal Sotong, Sweet & Sour Pork, Sambal Kang Kong and Seafood Hor Fun. We liked everything except the Kang Kong cos it was a tad too dry for our liking!

Our 2nd visit: We ordered Hor Fun without eggs for our fussy boy who couldn't tolerate seeing the egg white on his Hor Fun... OCB! We had the Cereal Sotong again and tried their Signature Fried Tofu.... not too bad but I still prefers my Tofu with more gravy! Our 3rd visit was to celebrate my birthday which will be up on the next post.... we spent more than a hundred on that day...keke....

Aunty Pauline (Gil's mom) invited us to her place for dinner. As usual, she never fails to amaze me with her superb culinary skills... btw, she's a vegetarian and owned a famous Vegetarian food stall in Amoy Street Hawker Centre.You might have seen her on Channel U Variety show.... it was thumbs up for the judges!

And oh I scalded my fingers while trying to help her bring the hot boiling soup to the table.... sigh... clumsy me .... thks to Colgate, my fingers were saved!

This is my current fave yogurt drink, Shine by Dutch Lady! And we only buy them from JB....lol..... cos it's a lot cheaper to get it there!

Aunty Pauline gave us a huge or should I say a ginormous mango! It's bigger than my face la..... see how much strength Jo had to use...haha! And we got new sandals and flip flops from City Sq too!

One last pic of me without food before I go to bed........I love myself too much... hee hee....

Alright, that's all for the night, will update on my PD trip and birthday stuff soon...nite nite!

OUTING & DINNERS

I am back with lots of overdue pics. I have been meeting up friends during the month of July and August..... plus one more coming up next Wednesday with my Sec Sch classmates. Can't wait to meet the ladies whom I know for 19 years.... luv them!

Ok, first up was my hub's ex-HMC mates reunion BBQ at Sembawang Park. Jo made some new friends and so had I. We even went for short trip together (will blog abt that on my next post)! Besides the great company, I must say the best part about this reunion was the FOOD! Woo... we had mushroom kebabs, pork chops, wings, garlic prawns.... etc and they were all home-made... super impressed! For full set of pics, see Jo's blog!

This is Sembawang Park and that very handsome boy is Marcus...so "shuai" that I can't resist taking a pic with him...lol!

The food looks good huh? The hubs were very sweet that day cos they were slogging over the hot grill and we the wives just sat around the table and gorged ourselves mad...haha!

We had a Crab Feast on Les' first "release"...keke... this boy had lost 11 kg in 2 weeks.... someone pls send me to the army!

As you can tell from these pics below, we're at Kenny Rogers except that this is in Jusco, JB. The service and food are equally bad.... ask Gil, she will tell you her story...lol! And we're definitely not going back!

I think that Lancome car is pretty!

Met up with Huiling, Cutie Faith and Mimi. I gave Huiling a belated birthday treat and also to catch up with her. These ladies are friends to keep forever! We had dinner at Cafe Cartel, Bishan..... nice but I kind of missed their bread counter!

Pretty, pretty Huiling and Faith!


Mimi & I. This woman is 10 years older than me but she looks my age!
Cal & Reg gave us a treat at Pizza Hut as birthday treat for Tom.


My aunt invited us for dinner at her place and I loved everything that she prepared! I even had a free lesson on making Muah Chee.... yummy!



Had Porridge Buffet at Windsor with my parents and sis.I think my dad liked it cos he had quite a lot of food that day. I enjoyed our simple and relaxing dinner with them.



That's all for tonight... got to entertain hb now...nite!

TOM'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AND MORE

Celebrated my DH's birthday last week with our friends. We had dinner with Daph, Gerald & Gil at Vines. Missed that place and as usual, I ordered my fave Grill Chicken & Tiger Prawns... yummy! Our young friends were really sweet to give Tom a surprise on his actual birthday. See pics below for more!

Singing Tom a Birthday song at Vines


We were invited to our CGL's place for a meeting 2 Fridays ago. New stuff are coming up and Tom was asked to co-lead the cell.... hmmm.... we're a little hesitant cos it's only been a year since we joined CEFC! Anyway, we're gonna missed "Barney & the Gang" so much..... sob, sob!

Brought my Prince to the zoo last Saturday before our membership card expired. It's been some time since we visited the zoo and Jo couldn't stop talking about it! See his blog for the full set of pics.


See these 2 pairs of flip flops? I broke my sandals at the entrance and had to get some footwear. These were selling at 2 for $10 and strangely 1 for $12.90! So of course I bought 2! Quite cute ya!

The next post will be about food glorious food...haha... my fave topic!
