I am back and I miss you all so much.
Although I’ve got a quiz tomorrow, I decided that it’s about time I shall stop being lazy and blog about the food enjoyed during my Bangkok trip.
On the first day, the boyfriend and I headed straight to Bangkok’s Platinum Fashion Mall - a shopping paradise in Bangkok. And as if that isn’t good enough, the food at its level 6 food centre is pretty impressive in terms of delicious food and a wide variety to choose from.
A view from my seat.

What I ate: A really delicious bowl of duck noodle soup. Mmmmm…

What he ate: Phad Thai, with chili-flakes, crushed peanuts and sugar - the way the Thais eat it. He really enjoyed this dish.

He also drank some incredibly sweet and milky Thai iced-tea.

The serving of Thai food is very small, which fits me just fine. Also, I love how each table would have its own free napkins. It really came in handy during my “flu-ing” days in Bangkok, heh.

It is 2:40am on a Saturday morning and I’m still up doing some work, so please pardon the lack of entries on my part.
I’ve gotten back from Bangkok this Monday with many pictures of Thai food and I can’t wait to share them with you all.
Although I fell ill at Bangkok (high fever, tummy aches, flu, cough, headaches, etc), I still got to try some delicious Thai food. Although I didn’t have much of an appetite; because I was feeling under the weather, I had made the best out of my 5-day trip in Bangkok.
A special thanks to my boyfriend who took care of me. I declare you a true blue shopaholic.

Oh my, I’ve been so busy having a great time after my exams!
Here’s what I ate last Sunday.
Breakfast: McDonald’s hotcakes with chicken-sausage and hash browns.

Delicious when dipped in garlic chilli.

Snack (skipped lunch): Absolutely delicious deep fried chicken from Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks at Suntec City Mall, shared after church between 4 girls.

Ice cream! I ate only very little as I was stuffed with fried chicken and bubble tea.

Dinner: We ate at Pepper Lunch, here’s Qiu Xin - happy with her chicken fried rice. We’re suppose to fry the ingredients together on the hotplate.

Here’re the sauces provided for us to mix into the rice. (garlic and honey sauce)

This was my beef fried rice, yummy. I had to quickly snap this before my beef overcooks!

After dinner, my friends and I headed for a karaoke session. Sigh, what a wonderful day to spend the weekend.

I finally had my fixed up Fuji Finepix F31 camera delivered to my place this evening!
And I just had to use it to snap away at my dinner. I was so close to kissing my camera, heh.
A huge bowl of carrot, potato & onion soup in our pressure cooker plus my mum’s hand. 

Sesame chicken, stir-fried with ginger and spring onions.

Prawns and onions in a super spicy sweet and sour sauce. It was my favourite dish tonight.

Dinner isn’t complete without a vegetable dish. Spinich with chilli-padi.
I am so happy I got back my fabulous camera.

Sumo House is a air-conditioned Japanese eatery at Ang Mo Kio Central. Its cheapest dish, the Katsu-Don costs a mere S$3.05 after tax. Lishan and I went there for dinner yesterday and we both had the Tempura-Udon and shared some fried scallops. It had cost us each a little over S$6 each and we were provided with a free flow of hot green tea.
The fried scallops drizzled with mayonnaise.
Rated 2.8 over 5 stars.

My bowl of Tempura-Udon.
Rated 2 over 5 stars. The tempura was soaked in the soup and it became soggy in about 3 minutes. It came with only 2 prawns.

Here’s me slurping up my udon. I’m so diggin’ my new haircut, I missed my bangs so here I am with bangs again!

I only recommend you to eat at Sumo House if you’re starving, feeling hot and unwilling to spend much on your meal.

I enjoyed some really good Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶) at Serangoon Central last weekend with my boyfriend. I was craving something soupy due to a sore throat & headache. This soup came with rice and black sweet sauce for dipping in the pork ribs. *Slurp.

p/s: My Fuji Finepix F31 can be fixed for $55!
So I’m going to repair it and put my Canon IXUS 860IS plans on hold.

When I was a young girl, I rarely enjoy home-cooked meals. Therefore, I am very thankful and blessed that I get to eat home-cooked meals so often now; at home and at my boyfriend’s place. This was a delicious spread by Chef James Leong (my boyfriend’s dad) last week.
Sweet and sour prawns.

Spinich with dried shrimp.

Deep fried fish.

And a Cantonese dinner isn’t complete without a soup dish.

I always feel very at home there.
I’m a real blessed girl.

Sometimes one just needs to eat simple and healthy. I got my chance when my dad whipped up this vegetarian noodles with fresh vegetables and mushrooms. Served in plain soup with just a dash of sesame oil and pepper added to it. Yummy!

Sigh, my Fuji Finepix F31 takes such great photographs with very little effort. I hope that my new Canon IXUS 860IS (aka Canon Powershot SD 870) won’t disappoint me. I’ve got high expectations. I’d be getting it this coming Wednesday.

McDonald’s has finally started to market the arrival of their halal McGriddles burger in Singapore. This was done through their McDelivery website and through a TV commercial (can’t seem to find it off YouTube yet). So now, you no longer need to feel insecure when you want to order this burger.

I learned from Brenda that a lot of the boys in my school are crazy over the McGriddles burger. One of them have no problem dipping this sweet and savoury burger into chilli sauce; which I totally cannot come to terms with. I’ve even got a classmate who ate 3 burgers the moment he had learned of it arriving in Singapore. You can read more about my review on the McGriddles burger here.
Whatever your verdict is on the McGriddles, its always good to have something new on the tried and tested McDonald’s menu.
