Yums: Oreo choco balls

my first attempt in making oreo choco balls. one of the simplest thing i could find to make - sth that i thought i can handle well enough. n yeap, other than me missing a piece of tracing paper to place the chocs on and failing to put the coloured balls for decoration, everything went well i guess =)

Food for Thought: Wife & Mother

It irks me shit whenever I see children born out of wedlock or end up with 'weird' circumstances becos of this. Children are always the most innocent ppl to suffer from these silly mistakes.

Think twice, think thrice.

Go Green: Eat Grass

Unbelievable efforts indeed. we're starting small but strong... excited, exciting, excitement!!!!!!!!!

Farewell

For 7 months, she fought bravely against pain and stayed strong till her last few moments. Though short-lived, she has made full use of her life, spreading her joy, smiles, encouragements, and most importantly, the birth of her 2 wonderful kids.

my dear friend cum role model, you'll be dearly missed but your fighting spirit will always be around to back us up =) till then, we will meet again~

Food for thought: priority vs option

“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”- Mark Twain

True? False? Agree? Disagree? I don't know either.

Go green: Spenv alumni club

First physical meeting. Like finally but yea, it was overflowing with ideas n concepts, all waiting for us to implement. Looking forward to a great bonding session for all, to rid ourselves of whatever history we have, and to bond and perform like a uniformed group. yay~

PS: let me struggle thru the exams first =X

Food for thought: Nobody is special

During a random conversation with a couple of friends, one of my friend mentioned,"nobody is special, everyone has a role to play."

Can't agree more with this statement! In whatever things we do, we need to perform our roles well to achieve satisfaction- as colleagues, students, family, friends or lovers. No free lunch in this world & no free love to receive.

Time to put in more effort!!! =)

"Dont be mistaken, the following photos are all pure vege food. LOL!"

Burger Set

Sushi

Tonkatsu Set

Unagi Don Set - interestingly made 'unagi' --> "scrambed tofu on a bed of seaweed" - as extracted from Hungryangmo. it was slightly charred, sweet and soft. amazed.

for the quality of food and nice ambience, the 'high' prices that i'm paying for is relatively worth it~

Music: Depapepe - Guitar

so glad to attend NTU's guitar ensemble. i never knew pure guitar pieces can be an 'orchestra' by itself, especially Depapepe's pieces. did a youtube search and listened to quite a no. of pieces. all their music are soooo amazingly cool!

enjoy~

Drama: King 2 Hearts

Super exciting drama. its now showing till ep 4. each ep was choked full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, suspicions, jealously, n of course, charming actors and actresses. cant wait for ep 5!!

FattiVeggi:Delcie's durian cake

Delcie's Desserts & Cakes

Website: http://www.delciesdesserts.com/ (read more here on how their cakes truly cares for you)

First time ordering a cake from delcie. I know its definitely different from normal cakes but i was still somewhat disappointed. Given the price i'm paying for the wholesome ingredients -> $48 for a 5" cake, i was expecting at least some fresh durian mousse which wasnt present at all.

nonetheless, taste wise was normal, quite similar to the american carrot cake texture and the cream was definitely very light and fresh.



I'm not sure if i'm gonna give Delcie a try again.. hmm, maybe their signature choco fudge cake or brownie can make me change my impression?

Till then, i'll need to 'collate' more cash before i can try their cakes again. =S

Just for fun - 等你的季节

Song: 會有那麼一天

FattiVeggi: North South East West Vegetarian Cuisine

Now now, let me correct your misconceptions about vegetarian food. They don't consist of grass, trees and flowers.

Speaking on the controversal topic of mock meat, these 'meat' are usually made of wheat gluten, tofu, soy, mushroom stems and fungus. They are sources of essential amino acids and protein. I would say they are nice additions to the variety of vege food, but not a main source of nutrition for vegetarians. But, the 2 things to be cautious of is the choice of 'natural flavourings VS artificial flavourings' and the preparation method of mock meat. it's all about making informed choices.

Anyway enough said, here's my first post of FattiVeggi food:
