Buns hunting
Since few months ago, I have been craving for buns, especially chicken buns (gei bao) in Sibu. The chicken buns with egg inside...emmm yum yummm.... and therefore, I started my journey of buns hunting.....
"Bak Bao" from a shop in Hurstville train station. It was the most similar buns to Sibu's that I found so far. The texture of the skin was quite good and the filling was tasty, but too much meat... I would suggest adding some veges in the filling to balance the greasiness of meat.
The packet said "奶黄流砂包", but the custard wasn't flowing.... and solid instead. It was the toughest bun that I ever had.... so so tough that you have to tear the bun with your teeth by pulling really hard. No kidding....

I love junks
Everyone loves junks... =)) I grew up with all these junks, the taste of memories that I will never forget. Through every bite, they remind me, those days of fighting around for Mamee, supper with pingpong in milo, Mi Goreng for lunch..... Still, I love junks.... =p
1) Mamee Monster!!! Still remember the blue monster.... It was the first dry noodles that I had with seasoning packet. It was kind of a luxury to have mamee in those of my days when children were having only the "kites" packet noodles... Haha...
Hup Seng Ping pong biscuits... It goes perfect with Milo.... Yummmmmm.... but very greasy and fatty... =P
Indo Mi Goreng..... Nothing can be said unless you try it yourself..... =D

Blurqueen 再次出击
I lost something again.... and this time was my 小绿... I couldn't believe it... I lost something that sheltered me for the past five years, no matter how hot the sun was burning and no matter how heavy the rain was pouring, ... I really miss you, 小绿, and the days you walked me through sun and rain. You're really tough... I hope that someone picked you and treated you nicely.
Ah Cath 啊!!!!! 我的小绿 雨伞不见了!!!
I want to go Singapore now!! I want to get a new 小绿.

一日一句 2
我們正處在「一個不夠」的時代!一支手機不夠、一份薪水不夠、一位情人不夠、一輛車子不夠、一棟房子不夠……。我們對外面的世界過度需求,對每天的自己過度使用。「一」不再是單純的數字,而是一個欲求不滿的代名詞。你認為:到底我們真正需要的是多少?

Malaysian Day
Ah song's Nasi lemak with chicken curry and eggs. It was so so so yummy that we finished everything till the very last bit of sauce. Nasi lemak was really good, the aroma of coconut milk was definitely tempting. Curry sauce was awesome, it was the real taste of Malaysia, which is hardly found in Sydney. Curry chicken, which is usually called kari ayam in Malaysia, goes perfectly with white bread too. Spread a spoonful of curry sauce on a nice soft piece of white bread, add a few pieces of chicken on it, wrap it and then goes into your mouth. Believe me, that's the taste that you could never resist.
The brown sauce on the eggs was meant to be sambal. Why brown? Because we mistaken shallots as spring onions. So, the paste became green, and therefore, we added in more and more belacan and it turned into spicy belacan paste rather than sambal. It tasted alright, and should be really good if used for cooking. But just it was too too spicy as I was too lazy to pick out the chilli seeds.
The bottom left was Five Spice Chicken rolls (so called Ngo Hiam 五香肉). It was made of chicken mince mixed with garlic, onions, shallots, and other seasoning sauces, and then, wrapped with tofu skin. It was then steamed and pan-fried. It was the first time we made this Ngo Hiam , and surprisingly it turned out to be quite successful. It had crispy skin with firm fillings. YUM...
The top left was the dessert of the night-- mini pancakes... made from pancake mix of the famous Pancake On The Rocks. Pancakes with kaya can be a good combination too. But I still prefer it with Nutella.

Italian Night
We went to an Italian restaurant in Leichhardt, called Portofino on Norton Street. It was good, but just too noisy, it's a pity, we needed to shout end to end even though it was just a pretty small table. The portion of the dishes was surprisingly small. We thought the pizza were be an extra large and pasta were be in a huge big bowl. But it ended up like Domino's medium size pizza, and a medium take away box of pasta. But, after all, we enjoyed it a lot... =)
Ah song's LINGUINI AL POLLO (House smoked chicken breast, shitake mushrooms, mascarpone, chives and cream) Yummy!! That was the best dish of the night. Strongly recommended.
Tze hui's Al Polloollo e Zucca pizza (smoked chicken, roasted pumpkin, mushroom) It was quite unique, the first time I had pumpkin as pizza topping. It matched perfect and balanced the cheesiness. Worth to have a try.
My LASAGNA DI CASA (A traditional recipe with layers of pasta, veal ragu, tomato and besciamella sauce) It was quite good, just not much of a surprise. It's good for sharing though, would be too rich to have the whole plate alone.
Aaron's PORTOFINO pizza (Double smoked leg ham, cabanossi, roast capsicum, mushroom, onions, pineapple, anchovies and olives). I loved the anchovies and cabanossi. The toppings were just nice, generous but not too much. Worth trying too.
