Saturday (24 Feb)
After a good time of prayer-walking around the land on last Saturday's afternoon, went to my friend's place to eat her parents' famous "po-piah". It's a family hand-me-down recipe, apparently the grandfather specifically gave the ingredients and the method of preparing the dish. Some more, my friend's parents chose to use hand-made popiah skin, instead of the usual factory made skin. It makes a big difference in the taste and texture... [drool]
Unfortunately, I only walloped a roll, as I had a dinner appointment with my 2 other friends at Adam Road Food Center later that evening. Saved my stomach for more room to fill up with mutton soup, mutton "tulang", satay, roti john, "Apit" kopi-tarek and Baron's Beer. Din get to order the "la-las" as the seafood store was not open :< Still, I went home pretty intoxicated with good food and great company, a very happy man indeed *hiccup*.

Sunday (25 Feb)
After church, went to the newly renovated food-court besides my church. They had a new stall that does Korean hot-plate dishes. Tried the saba fish~ not that bad actually. My friend tried the spicy korean pork thingie, but she said not as authentic as the one they sell in Korea. Still, I was satisfied since I got a well-balanced diet - satisfied my seafood craving from not getting my "la-las" the previous night.
In the evening, another friend drove me to Chomps Chomps Hawker center, near Serangoon Gardens. Tried out the famous hokkien mee - absolutely delicious. The "or-lua"/oyster omelet was so-so only.* As was kinda overstuffed with food from the previous day, didn't order the extra stuff like "satay beehoon", chicken wings and the gigantic $2.50 sugar-cane juice.
After the dinner, it was still early, so my friend brought me over to Ice. A great cozy joint, where the desserts are absolutely fantastic. Slurping down the chewy chocolate ice-cream with slices of banana was simply heavenly - and I'm not even a choco-holic to boot. :D
well, with so much binging the past weekend, it's time to hit the swimming pool and the running tracks again this weekend! Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will stay sunny this evening... :p
*As the French puts it, "comme ci comme ca"
2 litres? Like German beer?
ReplyDeleteThe BEST "or-lua" I have eaten is at People's Park Hawker Centre. Must be prepared to Q!
Have you ever thought of writing for some food magazine?
not really, cos that will mean more "sinning"... :p
