A Gastronomic Adventure..

Sorry.. I just couldn't resist not posting up Jojo's picture here.

Did I mention before how very cute is he???

Eew. My arms look deformed here.

I'm already trying my best to put on weight!

The worms in the stomach thing.. I don't think I need to go thru that again.

Sigh.

Had our dinner at LJS. Been ages since I cam-whored!

*snap snap snap*

Where are my eyes?? They look like two slits instead =o
& off we went to Powerhouse.

Danced the night away. As a result, I got muscle cramps in my right thigh for 3 days.

Sunday, 14th Jun

My first time at Pasta de Waraku.. Given to Cai!
*blush*

Ordered the pasta set, which comes with diluted corn soup and a salad that sends your sodium levels sky high.

Octopus pasta with some green tea wafu sauce.

The pasta was tossed with some kind of oil, olive oil I presume.
And the sauce was bitter, it didn't taste like green tea at all.
Bitter pasta slicked with oil.. It just didn't taste right.

Beef sukiyaki pasta with wafu sauce

I loved this! There was a chockful of ingredients in there..
Tofu, beef (duh), 3 kinds of mushrooms, cabbage, and my favourite RUNNY EGG!
*stir stir*

The yolk was stirred into the sauce and omigosh.. It was heavenly!
Sweet & savoury at the same time.

(been trying to find wafu sauce at NTUC, Cold Storage, Marketplace but to no avail. anybody knows where to find it?)

Our appetiser: Curry Okonomiyaki

Looks like pizza, tastes just like flattened takoyaki.
Probably due to the fact that the same batter is used in making the two.
Ooo.. Just look at the nacho cheese on top. I love that!

It's filled with chopped cabbage and prawns as well =)

Headed to IT Fair to get a router & micro SD
Next, we went to shop for my chocolates (yay, Ritter Sport & Toggi!) and went to Carrefour to get my ground cinnamon and electric food steamer.
I'm so addicted to cinnamon and peanut butter nowadays.
I finished 1/2 a tub of peanut butter in a day! Ok, I'm sidetracking again.

Stopped for a rest at Cedele
and ordered my favourite Carrot Walnut Cake
or was it called Walnut Carrot Cake?

I adore carrot cakes! Gotta have it whenever I spot one.
Cedele's carrot cake was chilled, as compared to the warmed one I had at Fringe.
It was moist and flavourful, nevertheless.

The cream cheese was fabulous! Not as sour as Fringe's carrot cake.
And there was this unknown black nut-like thing in there that I loved. So crunchy!!

Look at the amount of walnuts in there.
They were soft yet not soggy.
I love walnuts too =D

Wanted to catch the movie "Ghost of Girlfriend's Past" but Marina Sq's timing was too late.
Initially planned to catch the 5.35pm show at CCK Lot 1
But when we FINALLY managed to flag a cab and no thanks to the traffic jam, it was already 6pm when we reached my house.

So we had a change of plans...

Plan B: Go home to put down stuff then meet up to have dinner again.

Brought Cai to Karu's Banana Leaf Restaurant
A place that I used to go often during my secondary after-sch days
with Ducky & LALAManX. Lolxzxzx.

Poppadum and assorted veggies, which I kept asking them to refill.

Always have the fish curry to go with your rice.

It's very fragrant, no fishy smell at all.

Very spicy though, I was tearing while eating.

Ordered chicken masala as our choice of meat.
The chicken was nicely done, not too tough nor dry.
Loved the thick paste, whatever that's called.

Had fish head curry as well.
The fish was soft and tasty, but there were quite a lot of bones!

Was stuffed to the brim after we finished our food..
Karu's curry certainly didn't disappoint =)
The bill came up to be $31, rather expensive for only 2 people.
Then again, since when was Indian cuisine cheap?

Despite feeling super bloated, I suggested goin to Swensen's for dessert.
I always believe that no matter how full you are, there's always an extra compartment in the stomach for dessert!

Ordered this Walnut Rocky Road for both of us to share.

Careful, it's bubblin' hot!
Melted marshmallows, Sticky Chewy Chocolate icecream, warm choc walnut brownie, with loads of chopped almonds and choc chips.
What a divine combination.

Headed to Sheng Siong to restock my supply of titbits at home, then headed home after that =)

Monday - It's Auntie day!
Met up with Rongxin to shop for groceries. Hahaha.
We went to Giant and NTUC, bought loads of stuff home.
My arms almost broke.

Tuesday - Movie with Feyfey.
Drag me to hell.
I didn't want to watch this movie, but Fey asked me to acc her to watch it.

It's serious scary shit!
The old lady was really gross, with the false teeth, slime, maggots,...... Do I really have to list it all out?
The sound effects made it even scarier. Piercing shrieks/Loud thumps could be heard every 5 minutes.
Worse of all, it's horror+gore. My two most-hated genres!

Wifey was still talking about the gross scenes while I was eating my dinner(chicken chop)
Felt like puking. I hate this movie.
Hate hate hate!
