Cooking Expedition~

Monday, August 13, 2007 Posted by YY on 1:12 AM comments (0)

Was supposed to cook curry chicken becos of the leftover coconut milk from making pandan cake. However, there was no good chicken meat, so I made another pandan cake to bring to office to poison the white mice >.>'

So dinner plans changed and I decided to get tomatoes and minced meat, but hey~ there's no large tomatoes..zzzz~

In the end, saw this promfret for $8.50 and looks still quite good a.k.a haven die more than 24 hours yet la..gills red and eyes clear and bright not sunken.


This fish sauce, to be poured onto the fish after its steamed. Its self made..o well, I am impressed..*can show off to dad liao..lol*
*must rem to pour the water in the plate away first before pouring cooked boiling oil and this self made sauce onto the fish*


Need larger tomatoes man..these lousy malnutrition tomatoes..simply no flavour


Oyster mushrooms with oyster sauce..--'


Yummy~ dead fish still taste as good as a live one..i love promfrets ~

Two bowls of watery porridge for dinner, as earlier on I had a bad case of gastric indigestion and puked out my lunch..heng i woke up in time to pick up tips..hehe~



Thank you for the dinner, I really enjoy these cooking expeditions ^^

Had family event on friday and went to dye hair at Annie's shop. I was so undecided between what color to dye. zzz~ Partly I didnt want to maintain that blondie mane anymore, and also to look as young as K la~ blah -.-

Upon reaching there, i saw this familiar bag and umbrella..OMGz its emodans (my sis), we actually met w/o any agreement before hand..o wow?

So there we are after the haircut, our identities switched. I am now a black mo (black hair) and my sis is now a blondie =.='



Saturday, I baked pandan chiffon for K. He says he like pandan cake wor..within my abilities hehe~ At night, we went all the way to this place: Seafood Paradise to eat crabs, this strange isolated area in defu lane..amongst the industrial buildings.



Information on opening hours, MUST CALL TO RESERVE. Else u wait till 11pm also nothing to eat.


金龙鸡 : Got some prawn paste, minced chicken wrapped with chicken skin, its dam crispy~

Chilli crab


Crab in cream sauce..very strange but yet, the crabs are fried before cooking with the sauce so it taste great~


Very spicy black pepper crab with vermicelli..so spicy we each ordered 2 cans of drink =.='

Packing up time..finally got a chance to capture the deco of the restaurant


Overall, i think parking is a problem for patrons but then again, good food is always worth all the trouble. I am impressed by the creativity in the dishes for the crabs, The rest of the stuff I haven tried..so cannot say much though.

Hidden Treasure in Sembawang Park ( 07/08/07)

Saturday, August 11, 2007 Posted by YY on 12:11 AM comments (0)

Only one bus service comes here: No. 882, miss it and u wait twenty minutes -.-'


Tucked away in this park is a beautiful shoreline, and egg yolk like sunset *but cannot see it* , and beautiful restaurant lies here : Beaulieu House











Again..ambience, ambience~~





Ox tail dish~

Spicy spaghetti, with xia mi *dried shrimps*



Deep fried octopus~

Overall : Ambience is great due to the lighting and shoreline in the park, food wise not bad too.

But the cuisine and decoration of the restaurant could have been better, such as having dark wooden chairs and tables and fully aircon if dining in. Cuisine should be more uniform to give it a unique feel.
