One mooncake costs around $26++. One! OMG, I peeked and found that it consists of 6 yolks! Who eats six yolks?!
Woman: "WHAT! 1 for $26++??!"
Me: 6 yolks mah
Woman: "Means no lotus paste in the mooncake?!"
Me: Not to mention high cholestrol
Woman: I think no one eats 6 yolks!
Woman quickly went away before the stall owner comes and chases after us

Of soups and stuffs
I'm really into cooking nowadays. Don't know why... maybe it's the domesticated instincts all came out. Tried to made borsch soup the other but it was a total, total failure... sigh
Got the ingredients except beetroot... so added paprika instead... almost same color.. probably not the taste though. Oh, they mentioned cabbage... and I got a red colored one (actually it was purple colored). Wonder if that made the taste different? Geez, probably it was because I didn't copied down the steps in making the soup. So it tasted like some chinese ABC soup.. coz the ingredients are about the same.
Yesterday I made the normal soup. Here's what I dumped inside:
1. half large onion
2. one tomato
3. 1 corn (broken into 2)
4. half a cube of ikan bilis stock
5. 3 cubes of beef (no need to eat the meat)
Tasted like it should...
Just the other day, went to the supermart and bought dried basil, oregano, paprika and grounded black pepper. Also bought 1 bottle of mirin, wasabi and soy sauce. The latter set is to make wasabi sauce. Was ok as a sauce for the tofu. But probably should keep the tofu slices to a minimum. Was supposed to be tofu tomato salad, but was too lazy to cut up the tomato. But 1 block of tofu salad shared among 2 people... bleah... got sick of the taste very fast!
For a consolation, made some pretty tasty bruschetta. Although not as good as Sketches.. but I liked it. Heh, heh... my bro is my guinea pig.. so far no tummy ache yet.
Cheers!

Just not my day...
I'm sooOoooOOoo hungry! Missed dinner 'coz of work. Actually, I brought it upon myself. Sigh...
I am taxi uncles best friend... well, besides being best friends with all sorts of insurance people, sales person etc... yup, I am a frequent traveller of taxis. Heck, they should implement mileage points for customers like us. How come I always get booking fees of $4? Who can remember what is the best time to get a cab? When you need them, you need them!
Hmm.. had Turkish food at Sofra's yesterday for lunch. The ambience was nice, but the food.. could be better. Tried the shish kebap but it when it arrived, it looked shrunked somehow. The beef was a tad tough and dry too. But I enjoyed the eggplants, best of the lot in the salad... followed by the pretty purple petals of preserved cabbage.
Overall, I consider it okay because of the price... ranging from below $6 to around $14. Oh, had Turkish coffee too. It was served in a pretty cup and saucer. Very much like masak-masak teacup! After drinking most of the coffee, noticed the bottom of the teacup has some thick sludge. Doesn't taste like ground coffee beans. Felt it tasted kinda sandy. Didn't know whether to drink it up or leave it. Hey, maybe it was considered impolite to leave things in the teacup? Anyway, trawled the web after that and found this article. Now I feel enlightened!

To the Esplanade, we go!
Just thought of something. Are you doing anything on 28 August? It's a Sunday and for goodness sake, don't just stay at home! Bring your friends/girl/boy/wife/husband, whoever whatever, to a concert. How about that?
Here you go, get tickets here.
A very cute friend of mine,YingTee, will be performing, so if you're interested, go see her and her friends sing. Oh, what kind of performance huh? She said its chorale.
Hey, thanks for your time, and enjoy~
ps : I haven't been to the Esplanade for any concerts. Any recommendations on the seats? Errr... more specifically, the $20 ones.. yeah, I know.. I'm a cheapo

Intro
Hey, aint this template cool? Like the star, reminds me of Converse though.
Chill, I'm doing my own thing here. Wanted to sort of introduce what this blog is all about, but hey... for what? It'll reveal itself in no time.
Will this blog come back and haunt me in my later years? Heck, probably it will! Haha, so be it then.
