Pandan Raisin Pancakes~

Busy busy morning! This a little something i made for a year-end tea session later this afternoon. It's a slight variation to the previous raisin pancake recipe, i replaced the pandan extract with 1/2 teaspoon of pandan paste.

A quick lunch before a post-x'mas ktv session with L, M & C~
~*Luncheon Meat & Egg Soup Noodles*~
HK-style instant noodles with eggs, luncheon meat, corn, tomato and scallion in milky soup.
~*Braised Cabbage with Mushrooms*~
So this time, i decided to try a different veggie dish... which is a super huge serving of wong bok (chinese cabbage) with button, straw and golden mushrooms.
The serving is large enough to feed 2-3 adults...

78 Da Pai Dang (KPT)~

A x'mas dinner with my family at 78 Da Pai Dang zi char stall located at hougang KPT coffee shop.
~*Sauces*~
Chili padi in light soya sauce & chili belachan
The chili padi was pedas~ shiok!
~*Hotplate tofu*~
Spicy hotplate tofu wiht prawns, mushrooms, eggs and some veggies
~*Hotplate deer meat*~
My favourite dish of the night.
Tender and tasty deer meat with scallions and onions
~*Baby kailan with mushrooms*~
~*Thai-style red garoupa*~
The fish was over fried and dehydrated and the thai sauce was too sweet and not spicy enough.
*Lesson learnt... fresh fish are best enjoyed steamed and not deep fried...

X'mas Eve (random)~

It's x'mas eve! Almost every corner in town was filled with people, people and more people~ We intended to go to Yuki Yaki at marina square for an early dinner but there was already a queue of at least 30 people waiting in line at 4.45pm! So early!!! In the end, we managed to find ourselves a table at The Waraku (marina square)...

The regular serving of wakame soba was presented in a large bowl that resembled a wash basin.
After dinner we went over to coffee club for some drinks before our movie, and this was what i had...

~*Strawberry Chocolate Blend*~
A rich chocolatie and super sweet dessert drink with chocolate bits and fresh strawberry bits.

It was way too sweet for me palette... :(
