Karumaru

JY & I were both free today, and we decided to go thrifting. First, we fuelled up at Karu's. We both had rice, and I had mine with mutton curry and a side of thairu (yoghurt). The cooling yoghurt helps balance the fiery chilli. Even then I couldn't finish my meal, it was much too spicy :X

Here's JY finishing her meal

Thrifting proved to be boring and uneventful. I did come away with a Star Wars book for the boyfriend, and a funny illustrated book on the life of Mao Tse Tung that's meant for children. But that was all, a disappointing haul.

Thank goodness for the Karu lunch and sushi dinner!

First wedding of the year.

It's not often that I attend a wedding, and today I did just that. Before leaving home my mum gave me a green packet, to give to the brides' mother(yes, brides'... sisters sharing a wedding day). I never used to notice these things- when to give the green packet, what to say to the brides' parents, acceptable topics of conversation while eating...

The wedding, it was truly one of a kind! There was an inflatable castle to keep the kids occupied, an ice-cream motorbike giving away free flow of ice cream, and the dais and overall decor was just... BEAUTIFUL! Pity my camera's not working.

In between mouthfuls of nasi briyani and ayam masak merah, my dad actually asked what kind of wedding I want. Alamak... I'm not prepared for that kind of conversation...yet!

But I don't mind an inflatable castle at my wedding, that will surely keep the kids occupied!

How I popped my baking cherry

Why, with Sarah of course!

...and Sarina

TADA!

2 Kaya toasts from Killiney Kopitiam
1 Teh peng

Walao no wonder I can't sleep, lah! So much teh! After supper, JY & I discussed fitness regimes with our very buff, very hamsum and very disciplined fitness advisor, Adi. Adi, you must push us okay. You know JY & I always NATO one.

Okay, okay I hear you. I always NATO one. Say people, say yourself!

First lunch project!

The plan was to make lunch, and bring it over to my friend Imran, whose job doesn't allow him to eat out! But last night he told me he has a secret admirer at work, and I don't want to spoil his chances, so... I'm staying in today. I also planned to run some errands in town, but I figure I could get them done tomorrow :p


This is lunch- Chicken pasta salad. It has corn, bell peppers and shredded grilled chicken. My brother, today's lunch partner, says the chicken is a little salty, but I've had my fill and don't worry no one is going to die from this!

It tastes okay, but next time I'll prepare more dressing (and a new dressing recipe), and add some herbs. And I'll use spiral pasta instead of penne, so the dressing can mingle properly!

Project

With my number one guinea pig taster away, I've got no one to ooh and ahhh over my cooking. So I've decided to make lunch for my friends!


Watch out people. Harlee coming to a lunch table near you :)

Hello!

This blog is about alot of things, but mainly about food. My friend Jiayuan says I talk about food waaaaay too much. Well two weeks ago I caught the baking-slash-cooking bug, you see. So I thought this blog would be a good idea.

Now if only my camera isn't kaput... =_=;
