nothing in particular

Its my 3rd time in 3 yrs visiting HK, of cos I won't be so eh..excited?

But it has been 10yrs since I last visited HK in winter season, this time its not very cold except at night and on the 1st day I actually shivered even though I wore socks to sleep =.='''

K is first time visitor to HK, so as half a hongkonger(such a word exists mah?) I brought him around to do touristy stuff =>买东西， 吃东西，买东西， 吃东西，买东西， 吃东西

Which was what I did everytime ..>.>'' he ended up with more new clothings than me hor.. >=(

1st day:
UA Flight..woke up @ 4am and receive sms while I was changing..K says he's in airport liao..I am friggin' at home still ~ lololol..its not that I am cool about travelling i.e. not gan cheong but cos my dad refuses to wake up so early hehe =.='

After eating some junk @ the airport departure cafe *obviously I forgot what I ate*, I spotted the OTO BIG FOOT..not bad but not suitable for small feet(size 5) of mine >.<'

Had to go home for dinner, therefore we didn't have much time except to look for Ah Mew Cafe. Walked round and round Harbour City~~~ I was dam irritated...

So we decided to go home for dinner, since its getting late..after walking past this old building, I stepped back a few steps..there it is ..the building we are looking for! Climbed upstairs and there you are, inside the Ah Mew Cafe~

Scenery outside the cafe -.-'

One of the grouchy grey kitty..furry stuff~

Only 5plus..these 2 cats slept like they had sloughed thru the day..which I seriously doubted.2 cats curled up nicely on a cushion, peaceful nap..occasionally awaken by my camera shutter.

So there I was happily sipping my drink while watching the cats~

2 cat lovers @ cat cafe => must take pic >.>

There was this cat which was posing on the sofa..however, it just had this stone expression hoho~ sianed from posing?

Ambience Pics~

Its finally the last lesson, and this collection of petite fours are very er..brownish?



1. Orange Kisses
2. Hazel Nut Focus
3. Expresso Cheesecake
4. Cranberry Almond Nougatines
5. Coffee Buttons


This(Coffee Buttons Base Pastry) looks crunchy, crispy right? No its not, its something like kueh bu lu texture, surprising to us though~ Its really nicely browned to perfection..

Overview of 3 types of petite fours ( rectangular is Hazelnut Focus, the one with rosette is Orange Kisses)

When u have 10 different designs to draw, after spending 3-4 hrs on making the pastry..u experience the brain drain => crap things start coming out..like the design below >.<''

Overview(the teacher's display), far behind is the nougatines(ahh vv nice!) , and nearest foreground is Expresso Cheesecake(pyramid shape) which is tad too coffeey for me -.-

Have been lazy to blog recently, and as u have prolly seen my blog is becoming full of pics. Well..peektures speaks a thousand words =)



Recommending this steam boat buffet @ Katong, about $17.80(incl GST) per person on a weekend lunch. Soup base wise, can choose 2. We tried scallop and satay soup base, YUMMY~ haven got such gd stuff for long time.






Example of what we ordered, food is served when ordered from menu.

On 27th Oct, we went to Plush with Andros, Jon, Jiaxin, Philip, Qiaoling..and etc.. *cant rem la*

Cut my hair earlier on, attended K's granny birthday dinner and night time go clubbing. Its one of the most happening days -_-'

Pic with Andros

Me, K, Andros and Qiaoling

Me and K

After a few rounds of drinks, Jon turned into a kissing demon and tried to kiss K!
I felt like saying..my guy got violated by Jon -.-''
So there I was protecting K by pushing Jon and suddenly Jon said.."maybe I should kiss YOUinstead...." AHHHH~ there goes the abt pic with 2 persons trying to escape from the kissing demon. This Jon went into a kissing frenzy not once, but twice ZZzz~



It ended with Jon, dead drunk sleeping on the crouch..*of cos i didnt carry him home..*

What u are seeing is a swiss roll tin, which we use to bake the sponge cake for rolling. And 90% of the class did this TWICE. Why leh? Cos everyone forgot the butter shld be hot..
One grp did it THRICE, becos on the 2nd try ..they forgot to add sugar -_-'''

Painful products..becos its all blood and sweat and pple just POP into their mouth and thats it! Gone..~

Time to take a break from all these Sunday cooking cos it seems extremely tiring -_-

Main Course: Pork Chops with caramelised carrots.
Dessert: French crepes and vanila ice cream topped with caramel sauce

Making the mango pulp requires getting the meat out, then putting it thru the sieve..which is not shown below...

Mango ice cream in the cooking~~

Put into container for freezing, and you must fluff it with a fork twice in the next 2-3 hrs

Tenderising the pork chops

Making the carrots

Self made caramel sauce, looks like shit eh..pun intended.

French crepes..but still not my ideal crepe yet..wait till i try the japanese crepe recipe.

Inspired by Jamie Oliver's Book...

Main Course - Crab meat Aglio Olio with panfried cod fish
Dessert - Baked Red Wine Pear

Let's start with how to kill a crab. These crabs costs $2.50 from Sheng Siong, called 肉蟹, bought 3pcs. These are male crabs... to kill it, open the triangular flap shown at the chopstick point, and stick ur chopstick thru the crab. Its supposed to die an instant death.. >_>'

After the crabs are cooked, pluck out the hands, legs and now what do u do with the body? With the same triangular flap, open it by pulling it downwards and pull the crab shell apart from the bottom. Remove the lungs that reside on the left and right sides (how do u know its the lungs..dun ask me..) , the lungs looks like it has got small holes thru it. And scrub the shells clean with a brush..if u wanna eat the eggs/sperms ewwww~ , then retain that part, however we threw it away.

Cleaned body but still with the eggs/sperms..*pukes*

Mess of bodies, legs, hands...

Tools to remove crab meat: Scissors, hammer, rolling pin, 2 very small forks. Rolling pin is to get flesh out of the legs by rolling over it

Finally finished the manual work..tiring leh

Red wine pears that were soaked for hrs in the fridge, uneven coloring due to insufficient red wine la -_-'

Adding lemon zest, pepper, olive oil.

If you do not want ur lemon to be too sour, pan fry it for awhile.

Crabmeat with spaghetti in Aglio Olio style.

Crab meat aglio olio complete with pan fried cod fish

After baking the red white with pear for 30min, chill before serving.

Looks like 三层肉 eh... -.-' Was expecting it to taste quite "winey", but not really cos I didnt even go red from it. Other added ingredients was cinnamon and sugar, but I didn't really taste cinnamon..or maybe cos I duno how it was supposed to taste like >.>'''

CrabMeat Aglio Oilo - 7.5/10 , good but haven learnt how to combine the noodle with crabmeat properly.

Cod Fish - 7.10 cooked just nice, but haven got sauce with it

Red wine pear - 7/10, pretty ok taste but not colored evenly.
