Day 5 in Singapore

And I haven’t even been to Orchard Road yet. Screw exams.. Everybody come out and play with me!

Excuse the crotch shot..
I’ve been making and drinking huge amounts of ice lemon tea lately because it’s so hot. I haven’t really gotten used to the weather yet but I refuse to turn into one of those annoying [...]

Ham, cheese and tomato sandwich

The trick is to put some herbs in and toast it open to begin with to melt the cheese. I also like crushing the crust so it doesn’t cut the roof of my mouth.
My parents came over for my graduation and today my mother and I packed away some things into boxes to take back [...]

omfg I’VE DONE THIS!!

I was skimming through this not-particularly-interesting article in the NY Times, about Americans and their inferior rice cooking methods, when I came across the following paragraph:
Ms. Tokuji has even baked a sweet, buttery loaf of bread in her rice cooker, based on a recipe from a popular television show about a superhero’s quest to develop [...]

It’s already 6:32PM

And I still need to go and buy chicken wings for the chicken stew I’m planning on having for dinner. Looks like dinner’s going to be at 9.
But first, I made chocolate chip cookies again today. I used yet another recipe, this time by Jacques Torres which I got from here. I don’t like it [...]

Roast pumpkin

I think I might use this picture for all future food related blog entries..

I love how sweet pumpkin is.

Chocolate chip cookie curse GONE!

My past 4 attempts at chocolate chip cookies were all variations of one thing – disaster. This despite the fact that I had been alternating between a recipe that had never previously failed me and the famous NY Times one.
This most recent attempt, in which I used the NYT recipe, marks number 4. The first [...]

Caketown

Today I decided to forego lunch and instead, make the 40 minute walk down King St to Caketown.
Unsurprisingly, I was really hungry when I got there and bought a croissant, a chocolate eclair and an apple and almond crumble.
The croissant was light, crisp and one of the best I’ve had. Strangely, it tasted very similar [...]

In procrastination..

A photo I did awhile back for a certain site that has been annoying me with its bad management and nonsensical controls. So it’s going up here instead..

It was so cold today and despite being told by my sister that it was so, I ventured out of the house wearing only a shirt, a thin [...]

Yesterday, after my last exam

I watched:
Sidewalks of New York
Once
6 episodes of an utterly disappointing anime called Kaze No Stigma
20 minutes of YouTube videos
1/2 an episode of Top Gear
I ate:
Dinner 1 – Indian takeaway which included rice, lamb saag, daal and chicken tikka
Dinner 2 – Spaghetti Bolognese

Very bacon sandwich

I realise pretty much everything I post here has tomato and avocado in it.. Hmm.
I felt like eating a bacon sandwich after school today but didn’t have any ingredients. So I decided to conduct a small impromptu experiment to see how much cheaper buying all the ingredients necessary for just one bacon sandwich would be [...]
