Crispy's Singapore Makan Expedition Part Two

Now, wasn't Part One just great? Here's to Part Two , the final part :

We were pretty bloated from all the eating and the teatime snacks. When it was dinner time, we didn't have much of an appetite left for anything sinful. Ahh...here's Lynn's choice of appetiser ; Cold tofu with century eggs, sprinkled with a little pork floss.

The other dish was Xiao Long Bao. It belongs in the category of one of my favourite foods. I just love the feeling of having a nice warm one bursting with its goodness in my mouth. Absolutely priceless.

This breakfast of chicken with congee looks pretty appetising huh? Well, Crispy had it somewhere in Boon Lay, near Kai Kai's school. Take a closer look at how gooey and well-cooked the congee turned out to be? Well, my mom always cooks 'hard' congee...blame it on my dad who hates gooey congee! Ha Ha Ha....

Hey, it's Chocolate Fondue! A heavy dessert right after lunch! Actually it's my 2nd time having Andersen's chocolate fondue, but it's Crispy's first, so hurray! Next time we ought to try it elsewhere. Those ice-cream scoops are just so tempting, especially Rum and Raisin, our family's perennial favourite.

And this is the famous Geylang frogs' leg porridge. After this good meal, Crispy had a great time comparing fashion sense with the Geylang 'ladies' *grin*

Crispy's Singapore Makan Expedition Part One

Here are some pics of the lovely food Crispy had during her 4-day visit to Singapore. Don't you guys think that her photo-taking skill is vastly improving?

First meal upon stepping into the land of Temasek....satay at Lau Pa Sat. She arrived pretty late at night, so it was supper under the moonlight. Lighting wasn't very efficient there, sorry no F1 floodlights yet, therefore the photo quality is compromised =(


Claypot laksa from Food Republic in Vivocity. Food there is exorbitantly priced, i must say.... but it does look good! Many cockles hidden under the thick gravy and noodles.

QQ gummies courtesy of Lele... Lovers of QQ the shih tzu need not worry. No shih tzus were harmed in producing this packet of candies.

Had Japanese food for lunch at Ichiban Sushi. This was Crispy's order. She's a lover of cold soba with tempura. I sort of know why... cos tempura is just as crispy as she is...haha... hmm...a cold joke to go with the cold soba....now that's smart!

Another of her order was a softshell handroll? Not entirely sure but it does look like soft-shell crab.

Ahh... a bowl of healthy udon, for the stomach-flu stricken victim of the day, Puffyrazzi. No soba for me, no handroll and definitely no tempura for me.... *sob*

♠ Agent LL and KK's Day Off ♠

Hello, i bet you remember us, MIB IIII. I'm Agent LL and this is my bro Agent KK. Today happen to be our day off, in case you're wondering what we do when we have no crime to fight, i'll fill you in. Hey look, this is our new double-decker bus bed, complete with wheels and a steering wheel.

Early morning, after my breakfast i like to go for a spot of golf. Just like Tiger Woods who has his lucky red shirt, mine is purple. The weather today is pretty fine, i bet i can ace my game at the golf course.

Meanwhile, Agent KK heads on to the playground. Hmmm...it looks kinda deserted. Look what the hand, foot and mouth disease is doing to the community!

After an exhausting day at the course and playground, i still need to work hard. My mother has gone for her shopping spree and we're the coolies to help carry her hunted items. Can we go and eat now?

Heaven or Earth

Pic 1 : *Gasp* Is this the so-called Shangri-La? Look at how the clouds seem to merge with the hills and the sky. The beauty is untainted and looks so serene to be at this place. Can this be heaven?

Pic 2 : Woots, really blue sea, i love the shade of it. Will you look at the colour of the sand? I'd like to spend a lazy afternoon dozing on a hammock at this tropical haven. A glass of punch with its little umbrella would complete the perfect picture.

More Goodies From Sarawak

Hola! I'm back with more goodies from across the South China Sea. These are the 2nd part of photos which was brought to my attention by my anonymous reporter, nicknamed Crispy. Coincidentally, i'll be meeting Crispy tomorrow to venture into another eating escapade that will hopefully be posted here as well...hehehe...

When i made a trip to Kuching 3 years ago, i had one of these, called the 'While Lady', i think. I did not take a photograph of it then, and so Crispy did me a favour by doing it for me 3 years later. This is the ideal drink on a sunny hot day... you know what? I can really use one now... the weather is scorching hot these days.

Kolo Mee Special anyone? I'm not very sure what makes it more 'special' than the ordinary Kolo Mee, would appreciate it if someone drops a line to enlighten me.

Ah... i love this! It's the savoury pastry that those hawkers normally sell with 'you tiao' and 'ham chim peng'. Hmm... is this the one with 'wu xiang' powder or the one with bean paste? Well, don't really care which one is it. Try staring at these for several minutes will give you a massive headache. Stare at it long enough and you may just be able to time-travel.

OoooooooooohHHHH.... METAHORN! I didnt know this particular dessert is THAT famous until i went surfing on a couple of 'Visit Kuching' websites and this is apparently a must-try. Crispy + hubby kept telling me it's called 'metahorn' but when i asked them how it's spelt, they just shrugged and that's the reason why i went surfing around those sites =P

Lastly, who can forget the most famous of them all, the Sarawak Laksa! For the authentic one, only those sold in Sarawak will do it. No point trying those from outside of the state. Period.

It's a Dog's World

Here's a clip i made of my pet dog QQ . Enjoy!

~~Sarawak Goodies~~

More food to introduce to everyone. This time is courtesy of my roving reporter, Crispy who made her annual pilgrimage to Sarawak and always comes back with a bunch of yummy photos to share with all. Here are some and more a definitely coming your way in the next few posts or so :

This is Belacan Noodle. Judging from its looks, apart from the belacan, it should be very good for health. Just look at the amount of bean sprouts, cucumber and tomatoes. Not too sure about the taste though, it looks a little bland.

And this is Kway Chap, full of pig innards, just the way we Chinese love our dishes. Now this i can guarantee you, ladies and gentleman, is a sinful dish.

Who's selling rainbows over here? Ahhh...Crispy has always been telling me about how the people of Sarawak love having Kueh Lapis for Chinese New Year. I have always thought of it as being very odd, until she provided me with proof that it's true! Haha...

In her own words, this dish is called the 干盤面. Boy it sure looks dry and it sure as hell comes in a plate, hence the name... =)

Why not wash it all down with a glass of 'Tiga Masam' (translated as 3-sour)? It is concocted by 3 sour elements : the sour plum, lemon and lime. I believe i will love this. If this was up to me, i'd add a dash of vodka in it too!

QQ the CATBUSTER

Hmmm.... what's this? A sly looking cat lurking in the neighbourhood. These pesky felines are always breeding and stealing food from rubbish bins around the area. What's the best way to get rid of them?

This looks like a good solution. A big, bad-ass dog, ready to pounce and growl them to death!

Presenting to you, the CATBUSTER of the neighbourhood. His name is QQ, not to be mistaken for China's critics-panned car Chery QQ. Look at those eyes burning with desire to annihilate the enemy.

Hey, is that a cat i see over there? Grrrrr......


Stop running idiots! Stop being a coward...come back here like a man and let's fight. And stop coming into the house to steal Puffy's food from her bowl. Yes, you! I remember you, ugly black kitty!

Going out for a walk is like being on sentry duty. Always on an alert look-out for the villains. Call me QQ, the CATBUSTER!

Chef LeLe's Raisin Buns Part II

Hi guys, me back! As you can see, the buns are ready and nicely arranged on the tray! I'm gonna bring it over back to the kitchen for tha baking process...

OK lemme grab a timer. In case i go yakking around while the buns are baking, they might get charred and we don't want that to happen, do we?

Yawn, baking can be so mundane sometimes. I'm getting bored... Me will just quicky spread some egg yolk on these buns, stuff them into the oven and go play with me toys!

Look! Buns in the oven! Oops, no...i don't mean that anyone's pregnant... me just meant it in literal sense that my buns are in the oven! oooohhhh.... can't wait...

How many yawns does it take for my buns to bake?

Yippee, me buns are done! They don't look very pretty do they? But me bet they taste so much better than those you buy from bakeries. Yummy... me am off to kaypoh somewhere else now....Catch up with u peeps next time! Ciaoz

Chef LeLe's Raisin Buns Part I

Yowza everybody! Me Chef LeLe, i'll be teaching you how to make Raisin Buns. It is a finger-licking, yumm-o recipe handed down by my renowned baker grandmother! Look! I've dumped all the ingredients i need into my breadmaker... Peace dude!

Yo-yo-yo, the mixture is placed into the breadmaker, and we await the magic to unfold. Me so excited i kept looking in to check on it.

Finally, the fluffy mould ! Wait! It's not ready yet... the raisins are not in.... Lemme grab the raisins

Now, me squash the dough... and sprinkle raisins on them slow and steady. Watch the master at work... I've got keen eyes and skilful hands

Oh gawd, i can't even praise meself. The moment me started praising, the dough got stuck on my fingers. Get off me! Get off me!

Aha! Finally it came off, and let's put them onto the tray. Bigger ones for me, smaller ones for my bro Kai Kai who is nowhere near helping me. Me tired, continue next time.

New Birthday New Beginnings

Many things have happened in the past 6 months. In my circle of good friends, our gatherings have been marred by a glaring absence until our two gatherings in March. The first one was about 3 weeks ago, where we celebrated Shin Yen's (belated) birthday and one 4 days ago where we threw Jeremy a (supremely belated) birthday party. I'm just so glad to see Sheau Ching returning to join us in our birthday rituals. Hey, next celebration will be his birthday!

A delightful birthday cake to celebrate Shin Yen's birthday! Wishing that this year will bring her better days and a speedy recovery for her beloved hubby!


Hmmm....i wonder what's in there? Actually we gave her a little lunch bag cos she always carries her handbag to lunch with her colleagues, so a little lunch bag would be a good change, it also comes with a set of matching necklace and earrings.

Hey Sheau Ching, say cheese!

Eventhough Sheauching was back to joining us, there were several absence haha...so it wasn't full attendance at this birthday party... such a shame...
