photos speak more words than i do

finally had the crab beehoon at uncle leong seafood after YEARS of living just blocks away from the famous crab place that everyone in Singapore travels to. yes, THAT famous crab place people think of when u mention ang mo kio. its perpetually crowded, and during weekends it can go up to a 2 hour wait!

anyway, verdict was the dishes are all very average to the point of pointless mediocrity, but the crab beehoon is like the superstar hero that saved the day. yes, it's really good. the crab meat was fresh, the soup was well infused with the sweet crab flavour so that one doesn't even really need to suckle at them little legs to get at the "juice". we also ordered a "golden sands" crab thinking it is the salted egg one, cos that is very very shiok (next best after chilli crab on the shiok meter!) but it turned out to be a butter white pepper crab that was misleadingly named. chey. but the crab itself is good, so any sauce would be alright. the rest didn't like it much saying its too thick and peppery. which was true, but that's cos they ain't peeling the huge claw flesh off the cracked shell.. heh. well next time we should just stick to chilli crab i think, so we get the mantous to dip! i love crab sauce drenched fried mantous, they are soo damn good.

yums.

anyway. here are some pics from last week. went to a party at movida with scotty last friday.

it was not bad. we went to dragonfly afters and had fun watching all the canto-mando-hokkien-english performances. the atmosphere was festive. cept for that fat loser guy who kept walking about in the crowd at least 20 times pass us. its like his asscrack is itchy and the only way to scratch it is to walk it. eurgh!

next day there was a halloween party in the evening at PK's! and i made aglio olio for 10, which is quite the achievement considering that i only tried cooking (F&N in sec sch doesn't count!) for the first time in my life a week ago, for myself. i must say the food was quite a success, especially when i reached batch four of the mee goreng aka spaghetti cooked with olive oil and garlic. i forgot to take pics. but i can cook now. muahaha.

this is how i feel like now. zzzz.

what i had for lunch today

It is fantabulous. It's amazing how food can take you back to places, to the past, to stir up memories. I was reminded of my December in India last year and the dhal, nann and butter chicken we had (on rare occasions). Looking back, it was definitely an experience unlike any other. This place was recommended by my colleague. And guess, what, its 100% vegetarian! if only all mock meats and vegetarian meals taste like this, I don't see how difficult it is to turn into one at all!

Had some homecooked indian food last week too as a Deepavali office lunch. Which tasted great as well. Including today, I've eaten Indian cuisine in Singapore for a grand total of.. THREE times. Prata not counted of course.

what i had for dinner tonight

went for dinner with my family today.

the food was not bad, but not fantastic. there were hits and misses.

we had golden sands crabs x 2, tomyam fish, hotplate ribs, brinjal w chicken floss, chilli lala, and scallop chicken claypot.

hits: the tomyam fish was just nice, and fresh. and the chicken was really soft and flavourful.
neutral: the crabs had great salted duck exterior, but the meat itself was not too good. the cockles had sand in them even though the sauce was delish.
misses: the brinjal dish was strange, the ribs could be better.

bill: 24 per pax.

Address: Golden Sands Seafood
Blk 215, Ang Mo Kio St 22, #01-877

Overall rating: 2.5/5
It's ok for normal zi char dinner but the price is on the high side.

a really short post

dear blog, today was a fun day despite it being crazily hot. i had BKT for lunch with cousins and sibs, then town for afternoon tea followed by Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which was quite alright, and then dinner at TPY Lr5 for chic wings, stingray, hokkien mee and fishball soup. followed by a car ride, then home for melon ball and eyeshadowing. and skype.

now i'm gonna sleep after watching private practice. would be really cool if sam from PP goes over to GA to be a cardio god and gets involved with bailey, and trains christina!

:)
