My masterpiece...

Phew, I finally completed my mission! Instead of cooking Mapo Kimchi Tofu, I changed my plan. Tofu secretes liquid/water over time. Hence, the dish would have been very watery after keeping it overnight.

Still holding to my plan to use Kimchi as one of the ingredients, I decided to make omelets with Kimchi. Since my mom would not be around tomorrow to cook dinner, I prepared for tomorrow's dinner as well so that we don't have to cook after work.

Macorini with Kimchi and sausage. Shall serve with chilled Kimchi and fresh lettuce tomorrow so that the dish would look more interesting and colourful!

Omelets with Kimchi
Look good, eh? =p

Kimchi!

There I was in Jusco, looking for Kimchi in preparation for tomorrow's potluck. It's imported from Korea. I tasted some and it's delicious! The spiciness is just right. Perhaps to those we love spicy food, it may not excite your tastebud.

Sunny Caesar Salad

After a scrumptious lunch, I decided to go light for dinner. I ordered a Caesar Salad from Room Service and it came with a cute sunflower!

It brightened my tray and my room. I placed the perky yellowish species on my dressing table and it was still very much alive on the day I departed. Bye cutie Sunny! Till we meet again ;)

Egg Tofu, Sanur's Specialty

In my recent trip to Singapore, my colleague and I decided to try Indonesian cuisine. The menu had so may choices which indeed tempted us to order almost more than we could finish. Anyway, we are down-to-earth lots and we(painfully) chose four.

Among the four, egg tofu was the one that attracted our attention the most. It's also Sanur's (the name of the restaurant) specialty. Alas, it didn't turn out as great as we anticipated. I initially thought the portion would be like the other dishes, regular - not too generous. Boy, was I wrong. It looked like a volcano! LOL.

The part which looked darker than the others were dripped with a special sauce. I personally find it too sweet and it winded down my appetite. Had we never ordered rice, I could perhaps take another serving of the huge volcano. Hehe. As the name suggested, the dish was made up of eggs and tofu. The outer layer was fluffy and crunchy, while on the inner, there's a mixture of tofu and eggs. The texture of the eggs was similar to steam eggs. It's slightly disappointing because it wasn't as tasty as I thought it would.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal very much. Lesson learnt, no more egg tofu in the next visit although I am a huge fan of tofu, if there's next time ;)

Potluck gathering!

After the last potluck, my colleagues decided to have another one. Larger and more happening! Hehe. I have been browsing through the net to search for recipes. The main dishes (chicken and vegetables), soup and dessert are well taken care of. Gee, this is really testing my creativity.

Voila, I finally found what I can cook! Mapo tofu with a slight twist. Instead of the normal spicy paste, I will cook it with kimchi. That would then taste like Sundubu Jigae (well, if it turned out good. LOL) Guinea pigs, wait till Monday ya! Mommy will feed you well with my new recipe ;)

Oh, most importantly, we must remember to take photos of our splendid masterpieces on Monday!

Saying thank you

I was browsing through a selection of "Thank you" cards with my sister's colleagues and found some really interesting ones. We took a while to decide on two of the many we came across. Selecting cards for people can be fun! ;)

In a busy world, we sometimes forget there are still nice people doing nice things. Thank you for being such a wonderful reminder

Taking this opportunity to thank all who have been nice and kind to me. It makes all the difference and I truly appreciate that *hugs*

Battling against temptation

It's this time of the year again when everyone flocked the malls. Sales is every where and the bargain is good, mind you. Alas, I am not earning Singapore dollars. Otherwise, I would have bagged a few items by now already.

MANGO in Wisma Atrium, Orchard Road (Singapore) is having some really good stuffs and it's cheap - well, to Singaporeans. I find it cheap and reasonable at first glance, before doing the conversion. I have always been able to resist succumbing to the temptation of sales and my record maintains this time. Kudos! =)

Anyway, it's more entertaining to see Japanese dramas right now since I know I will not get any of those pretty things on the shelf. Perhaps, will make up to my "good behaviour" in Bangkok next month ;p

Okies, back to otaku-ing.

Sayonara.
