more food-14nov

14NoVember, 水曜日=Wednesday

can't find my coffee? i have not quit coffee yet (though i can probably survive without it, but no guarantees if i will fall face first on my laptop).

breakfast-ham sandwich without bread edges.




lunch was with I-san. thank you for lunch.

lunch place was jap, 牡丹=botan=Lotus, at far east square. we waited 5mins for seats and 45mins for lunch. usually they are quite fast but i do not know what happened that day.

grilled fish (shucks, i cannot remember which one) set lunch. rice, sashimi, fish, side veg. just wonderful.


back to the office, back to my snack.


since no one dated me, i headed home. to cook!!!! well i am not much of a cook though. all i can say is i will not die of hunger. haha
my favourite dish that i will cook (alas, my skills are limited) is FRIED RICE. i like fried rice. plus home cooked fried rice will make full use of what ever nonsense you have in your fridge. so the variety is there.


boo's (not so) secret fried rice recipe

overnight white rice is best, so says mama.
prepare some oil but i like butter/magarine.
herbs and black pepper is a must.
of course, if you are lucky, you get some vege or meat to go along with it. like i said, dun waste your food!
oh the most important ingredient, the EGG. or EGGS.



firstly, heat up your fryin pan. in the next few steps/photos, you will see that i am very capable of multi-tasking. i can cook and narrate and take picture at the same time.



then, add the butter of your choice.


throw in your herbs which i had rosemary and thyme. oh don't forget some grounded black pepper.


next, rice please.


EGG goes in. mashed it up with the rice please. you do not want an omelette.


then throw in your vege/meat at the side to warm them up.


shake your butt and mix them up.


TADAAA! it is ready!
oh season to taste. i did not add any soya sauce or salt because i like the original taste.


You can add in some sambal prawn chilli paste if you like. i eat my dinner off the pan. not lazy. to save water.


pair your dinner with tv and a buddy.


oh yes. today. channel 5 kindly showed Titanic, part one. my goodness, split the movie up?
so, part one.
can you recognise the titantic?


rose tried to jump. she sees jack.
she said: "no! you stay there. i mean it. i will let go"


so jack used reverse psych and told rose he will have to sacrifice his best clothes is he had to jump together with her.
jack said:"i hope you will come back, so i will not be troubled to jump with you"


rose:" you are nuts!"
jack:" that is what they all say!"


jack:" you said i am nuts? but excuse me lady, i am not the one hanging in mid-air right now"


jack:"give me your hand"


and so...
jack:"hi, i am jack"
rose:"hi, i am rose"


and i continued with my dinner.

13November, Tuesday

breakfast by mr.chan as usual. today is Siewmai day! my fav. i can popped them all in one minute flat.




since i have taken to reading during lunch, i would need a lunch place where it is good to chill. good places are usually fast food restaurants, unfortunately. so it means, reading=cheap, reading=fat. hahah!
today's choice of food goes to....




grape soda (actually everyone knows it is fanta grape)
+
fries, with chilli sauce that i do not take (they must have wondered into the basket by mistake)
+
ebi rice burger




i was sitting at those bar tables and there i see, a girl and a guy, happily chatting away when three Yami Yogurters sat down in between them. talk about lightbulbs....



decided to have an afternoon snack. well, a fruit. healthy at last!
a pear. but after sinking my teeth in it, i decided it was too mushy for me so i ... dumped it.


and changed to my all time green apple, crunchy.


dinner was to be at 明治屋= meidi-ya. Miss J wanted to have Kobe Romantic curry rice.
when i reached there, the basement was in a mess, renovations!
see the lonely microwave.



after 3mins, found where the curry rice shop went, just round the corner. you can actually buy canned drinks off the lonely microwave shop and bring it to the curry rice shop.
in singapore, japanese canned drinks are so bloody expensive. yes we are being conned. a bottle of ocha (tea) probably cost 150yen=sgd2.00 in japan BUT here, you pay a nice sgd3.60 at least. see. who says Japan is expensive.
oh this is カルピーズ ソーダ=Calpis soda. they have the non-soda version. it tastes like mmm... a bit like yakult, a liitle like yoghurt drink. try it.



my choice of curry rice is croquette curry!! yippee. potato rocks!


oh i forgot to mention, from the lonely microwave section, you can also get little side dishes like vege or stewed lotus roots to bring over to the curry rice shop.
the humble corn was chosen.




at last, home.
to end the day, the choice is clear.
my bud.

more food- 12nov

yes,i have been slacking. slouching. slowing. as you might have noticed i stopped halfway since my last foodie blog. got lazy. now now, here we go again!

12NovemBer

breakfast. coffee, as usual. plus raisin bread with butter, a little squashed.



skipped lunch, cannot remember why.


a nice diiner at sakae.

amaebi sushi=sweet prawns sushi, delicious. mmm.



of course i couldn't be taking every sushi i put in my mouth, cos i think the manager will stare.
another of my fav, ikura sushi=salmon roe (i think) sushi
in the background you can see... swordfish i think. sorry, another 'i think'.


however, this ikura is not so nice, you can see the ikura looked like balloons out of gas. leaky roe.

luncheon mates

as you can see on the left, i have a new list!

those are all my luncheon mates. no, i don't eat them for lunch. i meeet them. or rather, they meet me.

perhaps once or twice a week, i get to lunch with the mates. else, i'll go read and hide for an hour. i have decided to read. because it is much cheaper!! if not, with nothing to do, shopping costs a bomb. at least more than lunch money. ho ho.

so if you think i have left you out, let me know!
be my luncheon mate!
