Pink Sunday

Read off IMBB that the theme was "Pink" so i suggested to dear that perhaps we could try cooking something up with fits the theme. She had a great idea; making a "pink" theme soup in an yin-yang setup. Basically one side of it will be a red base soup while the other side a white cream based soup. Hence wheen u mixed the 2 together you'll get a pink soup.

Sounds interesting but we sort of gave up the idea cause we thought we do with a more filling dinner. We spent 1 hour plus shopping at Cold Storage, thinking of the ingredients to get. Since it was kind of an impromtu idea that we try cooking something up in pink, the joy was in spending quality time together and enjoying each other's company.

As usual, we have brunch on Sundays. We settle for bruch at Tiong Bahru Market. There's so much food there that anyone will be spoilt for choice!~!~! Somehow i was having a huge craving for "Lor Mee", not just the normal "Lor Mee" but the one with the fried fillets of shark. Yum Yum... ( disclaimer: I can understand the reason why some people refused to take shark's fin or shark's meat, i have even heard of reasons like sharks isn't a sort of meat cultivated for food. But hey, if u do take sushi, most of the produce you'll eat ain't "cultivated for food" either. It's about choice; i respect your choice and i hope u too will respect mine too ;) )

Anyway back to the topic. I had a very cheap and good bowl of "Lor Mee" fiilled with lots of bean sprots, fried fish, fish cakes, lean pork and a thick and high quality gravy. There was so much stuff inside the bowl of "Lor Mee" that i could hardly mix my noodles well!!~!~~! Oh by the way the stall is "Tiong Bahru Lor Mee" and for a bowl of noodle like what i had, it's just $3.

I like mine with lots of vinegar and minced garlic. I also like some chopped chilli padis. I enjoy the kick they give when i bite chew thru them. Shiok!~!~!~ I'm definately going back for the "Lor Mee" even it means i will have to queue for 20 minutes.

Dear had our all0time favourite nasi lemak. Those $1.90 ones are quite good. Actually dear jus like the FRIED chicken wings, the FRIED luncheon meat and the FRIED cuttlefish fillet. Actually i also lah, i admit i'm a hard-core FRIED chicken wing fan. lolz...

After our late breakfast, we went to Great World City to see-see look-look. But before we went to shop at Cold Storage, we couldn't help but walk into this Japanese Restaurant at the basement of GWC. Our eyes were treated to a feast of bright colours ( the Orange of Salmon, the Red of Tuna, the Green of Wasabi).. But what catches our eyes were the variety of Californian Rolls ( Lobster C.R, Fried Salmon CR, Salmon and Avocado Salad C.R,...) We have yet again fallen prey to the great tatics that restuarants employ these days. Bearing in mind we just had breakfast, we bought only a lobster Californian Roll and a set of those sweet-saltish bean curd rolls.

After gobbling up the food, we finally decided to pay cold storage a visit. Went around looking for ingredients for our experiment. Wanted to do chicken but was cracking our heads on how to make a pink theme out of chicken. After some discussion, we decided to do a pink salmon pasta and a pink dessert. Finally we have a concept of what we wanna so. Now it's really shopping time.

The rewards : a packet of pre-processed salmon belly, a tin of tomato paste, a tin of tomatoes in tomatoe juice, a cup of fresh cream, a box of " Konniakyu" jelly powder, a box of fresh strawberries, a packet of pasta. Now it's time to go back and experiment!~!~! Well not before dropping by at Auntie Anne's for a Sour Cream Pretzel.

it's getting late. Gotta sleep now else tomorrow orh-bak kat... Talk about the food tomorrow ;)
