New On the Menu

I just realised that in the recent blog posts, I been posting chicken menu. Well, that's one of the most convenient - especially roasted chicken.

So, here's another one.

Looking Autumn

I think I love the fall looks. Cos I love wearing trench coats and boots. I love how ladies look in their scarves and gloves without looking too bulky. I find this look... sexy.

So, I wore my trench dress. And I sneaked these shots in the lift when I finished yoga. I wore this dress with booties I bought in HK. Oh well... Since it makes me looks nutty wearing boots in Singapore, I invested in a few pairs of booties, to prepare myself for the fall/winter look.

Cooking on a Sickly Day

I was sick the weekend before I left for Hong Kong. Since I was home the whole day and Baby was away at COMEX, I decided to cook. Even when I am sick, I do not compromise on my food.

I bought organic barley sometime ago. So, I decided to try. I probably added too little sugar because it definitely did not taste good.

This was my favourite! I made Spinach with Chicken Udon for lunch. I made it Japanese style using dashi.

At dinner, I did not know what to eat and I was not very hungry. So, I whipped up something quickly with an inspiration from Jones the Grocer. It was some breakfast dish and I can't remember the name. Anyway, I added pasta sauce to blanched Spinach and added a few microwaved Legendary Sausages. Viola! Dinner was served.

IL Piccolo

I have been a big fan of The French Stall. And I knew they opened an Italian eatery. But, I just didn't know where. Or rather, I didn't know the Italian food place I have been patronising IS the one open by The French Stall. Until one day, I saw somewhere in my mailbox the email from them. And realised that I have already been eating there.

The Italian food here is worth every calorie count. I don't just eat pizza anywhere. Here? The pizza is calorie-worthy. The pasta? Good too. I love the Gnocchi. Yum yum.

Baby and I go there quite often because it is just a turn away from our home. It is located within the SPH canteen where Botak Jones is. Try it for yourself.

So, here are some photos.

Aglio Olio Vongole with generous serving of clams

See the generosity of the clams!

We tried this pasta with Pharma Ham and.... *drum roll*... EGG in the centre. It is absolutely sinfully delicious.

IL Piccolo next to a Korean food place that is not so worth the calorie.

P.s. In case you are wondering, I rate my food by calorie-worth or not. I am pretty conscious about what I put into my body because firstly, I am vain - always want to look pretty and slim. Secondly, I am health-conscious. So, if I really want to eat, I make sure that it must be worth the amount of calories I put into my body. So, I am pretty picky about food. I do not just eat anything and everything. ;) Baby said I have golden tongue. If I do not like eating something or from a place, I probably would never eat or return atgain. ;) This is my trick to staying in shape.

Lai Lai Beef Noodles

One day after Rock Kidz, I was starving. So, Baby took me to Lai Lai Beef Noodles (Taiwanese style) at Liang Seah Street. I have been craving for the beef noodles for a while. But I am such a sucker for loyalty card and membership that, after I am done with our meals, I insisted I must change my card for gift (since my card was full) that very day.

While I was doing so, "Mdm Fatimah" was happily booking our car somewhere down the street. I exchanged my card for a Watson's $10 gift card. But we also left Liang Seah with a summon of $30 and an angry Baby. If we left the place right after the meal, it would have been fine.

Oh well, I did not know I would be returning there again tonight with Suz and Grace. Nevertheless, here's our indulgence that Sunday.

Woo... My favourite! Pepper Salted Chicken. Super love the one at Lai Lai.

Guess what? This Braised Pig's Large Intestine was really nice. I don't usually like pig's large intestine but this was quite worth the calories.

Of course... here's the uber nice beef noodles which is always too huge because I would add side dishes and bubble tea and end up not being able to finish.

*Slurp*

Updates: 15 Sep 2010

I am back from HK! I will post a separate entry on this after I have downloaded all the photos. How could there be no photos for a travel log?

Anyway, I have been too tired to do anything until today. I went to bed early last night at 10.30pm after:

1. I stepped out of my home looking very un-me. The guys asked if I did something to my hair (hinting I had bad hair day) and I looked like I was in one of my worst-dressed days (which is very seldom).
2. Baby also commented my eye bags and eye rings were horrible. I took a look at the mirror and had a shock of my life. I decided I had to sleep.
3. I was totally dysfunctional yesterday. My mind was in a blank. My eyes were heavy and I could barely hold my lids. I doubt toothpicks would help.
4. While trying to read my latest purchased book (The Other Side of The Story by Marian Keyes), I could not get past the first two lines.

So, I went to bed after keeping the Koi bubble tea from Jason in the fridge.

The bed never felt more comfortable - I was totally enveloped by the softness of my goose-feather quilt and pillow, and the moment my head hit the pillow, I knocked out.

I did not wake up until this morning when Baby lightly touched my face and I woke up to see him looking at me lovingly. This is the best sight in the morning. :)

But I fell asleep shortly dreaming that my closet was missing and I was weeping badly. I woke up and was glad it was only a nightmare. My closet is still around. My clothes aren't missing!

Anyway, I feel so much better today. More functional than yesterday.
