Im back !!!! With food




Internet is back! I fixed it !! yes I DID! i must say thanks to the new wireless router that I bought, it had easy-as-computer-idiots-easy automatic set up instructions which anyone can do! Feel like some IT expert now hehehe

OK so back to blogging now! Altho, have been really uninspired cos the lack of money to spend I guess I have to work with some old stuff!

I brought D. out on Valentines day this year to a "private household restaurant" - chinese cuisine which I really liked. OK so this is how it was:

Me: "hello, I want to book a table for 3 but then we can only eat THAT much, would it possible to make the proportions really small cos we would like to order more and have more variety"

X: "SURE no problems!!! I will write up a menu for you guys so you can taste everything but wont be too much" (everyone please remember this)

Menu: (dont remember exactly but approx below)
Entree: Cold tofu, deep fried eggplant
Main: sth similar to sweet and sour pork, garlic prawns steamed sticky rice and soup rice(my favourite)

Me: "Great menu! MAKE SURE ITS SMALL PROPORTIONS! ITS ONLY 3 LADIES"

Food came up to be for the size of 10 people and none of us could finish anything! we were so full that I couldnt even breathe... u know like the feeling when you breathe its like throwing up food type???

FOOD WAS MAGNIFICENT!!! The garlic prawns steamed sticky rice, the rice was no rock-hard-uncooked-rice kinda feeling, it was soft and juiced up by the essense from the garlic prawns!

Another favourite was soup rice! Its like Shanghainese fried rice cakes dipped in soup. This one was different! THey deep fried each and every rice grain like rice bubbles and there was a bowl of boiling hot soup. When the rice bubbles are poored in the soup, it gives a sizzling noise like mongolian beef poured on hot plate! Delicious!

Not to forget to mention about their original location. As it is called private household restaurant, normally these restaurant are situated in commerical buildings or hard to find places. This one was situated in a household buidling, meaning the whole building is not impressed, the secuirty will give a you-are-not-invited look and the lifts are full of signs saying "restaurant should be banned!!!!" Although I like their food but I agree that it is not very polite, imagine u r the neighbour? So thankfully they have a new location which is a proper place!

Sorry Im blabbling on like a lunatic, you know the feeling when you cant talk for a while and when you are free... u will just go on and on and on! For those who are bored, I promise no more long articles! please keep visiting!

I think you shud mention how weird it was for 3 girls to walk into a restaurant packed with couples on valentine's day. the waiter was so friendly, he probably feels so sorry for us! haha
