One night, when Ms. Green tea meets Mr. macho Cookies...there is the sparkle combination GNC.


GNC is beautiful, isn't it??....:)

Make a wish first;) Love, forever!!! (Yes...sometimes love takes forever...)

Hey, there is another sweet love just like us:0

 

Mr. Lonely, let us keep you accompany...

Cool down your head ahhhhhhh....

Oh, I saw a beautiful...

 

 Mama said, don't stand near the way...dangerous!!!!

  

                                               Mr.macho Cookie, DO NOT touch me!!!!!!!!

 

Spot the different!! No prize though....

What the fun day but guess you can't wait.... Goodbye GNC,  thanks for the wonderful journey....miss you already!!!!

You know, there is nothing better than a long walk after work...cool weather, quiet street...no queue...Oh, I am talking about after 9pm weekday...

Don't be afraid to be alone... have fun and keep walking.

Yummy, Pretty, Fresh, Nice breakfast!!

I am on a fruits diet. Meaning, having fruits as breakfast (Yes, only fruits)....hmm.....it's been a while  but so far so good, in fact loving it. Make me feel fresh start for a day:)

Yellow dragon fruits, my first time seeing, bought it and ate it. Now became my fav!!!!!!
The fruit ripen from late November to February and it is certainly the sweetest and tastiest of all the dragon fruit. This variety is self pollinating, and it will set fruit on its own. Amazing, isn't it??

Petite in size (0.5 - 0.7 lbs each), lovely colour, perfect for summer time!! I meant in Singapore, hahaha...all the time!

Due to its rare production, price is quite high, I bought from a fruit market, per 100g is SGD 2.80,
2 pieces ended up at SGD 10.80...Ex right??? After the heart pain, look at this cutie, I think it's still worth trying!!!!  2 are perfect for breakfast!!! Summer fruit!!

So happy:) SO yummy:0 Try it try it!!!!!!

Recipe - Poached Egg Milk

It's another insomnia night....Just can't sleep....1am plus....so lazy....craving for food....

I miss my mum....She can't cook well but she makes nice dessert...Poached egg in milk is one of my favorite, I used to have it every night before my bed time....I named it the 'Sweet Dream Magic Milk'.

• 1.5 glass of milk
• 1 egg
• 1 full tea spoon sugar or more (White sugar)

1. Heat milk to boiling in 8-inch skillet or cooking port over medium-high heat, then reduce heat so milk is simmering.

2. Break egg into custard cup or saucer then carefully slip egg into milk. Cook about 1 minute for runny egg or 5 minutes until whites and yolks are firm. Depends on your liking. (I prefer the runny egg)

3. Add in tea spoon of white sugar as last step if you like. Pour it over to soup bowl.

**I like dip soft milk bread into the milk for breakfast, at night is just simply poached egg in milk:)

Making this for myself now, reminds me so much of her...Mum, I wish you know how much I love you...even though you are still very naggy;)

Tai Ping Koon Restaurant 太平館餐廳

Tai Ping Koon, one of the first Western restaurants in Hong Kong, has over 140 years of history, and created the 'Soy Sauce Western Cuisine'.

So what exactly is the 'Soy Sauce Western Cuisine'? It is the grandfather of all fusion dishes in Hong Kong. The owner of Tai Ping Koon, Mr Tsui, started making this dish in Guangzhou in 1860. He made a business from Western-style Pork Chop and Steak with Soy Sauce, a welcome surprise to both Chinese and Western customers.

Some of my all time favoriteSS:

 

燒豬肶 - super tender port leg meat, doesn't look glam but it's super yummy with Swiss sauce.

瑞士雞翼 (Swiss Sauce Chicken Wings) - There are Swiss sauce chicken wings everywhere but this is the best! Best for the sauce!

瑞士汁牛肉炒河 (Swiss Sauce Beef Ho Fun) - I can have this everyday!!!!! The hor fun is chewy and gels perfectly with the sweet Swiss Sauce was a nice compliment to the savory beef.

After appetizer and main dishes, you must save some room for dessert - a super size baked soufflé that regular diners look forward to all night! Although I am not a big fans of Hong Kong style Soufflé, yet, worth trying! It's huge!

I love old things, from old toys/ jewelries/ bags to architecture and restaurants, it means so much to remember our roots, culture and how we progress from then.

Food straight down to our stomach, memory flows up to the soul.....

Denmark Cake Shop 丹麥餅店

The old HK. It has so much more character, this is one of the last few store still remain the same way of cooking and food still taste the same from 38 years ago....ahhah...I dono how it taste 38 yeasrs ago

but it is still good now:0

My all time favorite:

Pork Burger (豬扒包) - Pork chop is tasty and tender. The bun is a hamburger bun but somehow reminds me a little of a English muffin. Overall pretty good but I think the pork should either have a
thicker batter or be slightly thicker...hahah, value added;) 

Fish Burger (魚柳包) - It's juicy, crispy all at the same time. It went so well with the white sauce. 

This uncle with the lovely wife, have been running this store for 38 years! Thank God, he is still passionate and happy....Miss it already:)

Simply Life

Life with simple food, what can be more appropriate than bread. Dating back to the Neolithic era, we eat bread more than anything else, indeed that's one of the oldest food.

Most people love HK, love the shopping and food, so do I, but, I love trying new things every single time. This is relatively new, Simply Life. A concept food business with cafe, bakery and fine dinning.

Smells so good once step into the bakery.... A bite on the bread, so soft, so sweet, so tender, so LOVE! It's beyond words, feeling so warm....Oh, can you see the view of the harbor as well. Lovely!

I like the one at IFC mall, Central. It's a s chic, modern, French-inspired with it’s round café tables and bistro style chairs. It has a simple black, white stainless steel and cream color scheme. They serve good coffee in fancy French coffee cups with thin rims too.

A magic bread, a fantastic morning, a simple life.....but nice!

Coffee Break

Brewing since 1935.

Uncle James taking over his parents business, till today, he has been brewing at Amoy street for 10years! Exactly 10 long years!

A small store local at 2nd floor of Amoy Street Food centre. You will be attracted to his colorful menus. Plenty varieties (Easily 20 over types), ranging from
SGD 0.80 per normal Kopi-O (Plain black coffee) to a SGD 3.50 fansy Mint Mocha. My faviout is always the Kpoi siew dai (Coffee with less sugar). So nice!

Honestly, I hated most of local coffee, most of them are sourish in taste. Heard that's because of the type of coffee beans they use and the way they fried, moist, temperature and water, etc. Ya Kun and Toast box are kind of maintained their standard but this COFFEE BREAK is really something, the best by far!!!

A good coffee makes my day, it has kind of magic power to keep me focus. I like nice Italian coffee but for a change, this is absolutely lovely and worth mentioning, especially those brewing with their heart!

Location: #02-78, Amoy Street Food Centre, (Close at about 3pm)

Recipe - Herbal Tea Eggs - 茶叶蛋

Things to prepare:

• 2 packs of herbal ingredient (You can buy off shelf from most of the Chinese herb store
• Thermal pot or slow cooker

Method: (30 eggs)

• Boil eggs then allow them to cool.
• Crack the shell of each egg. Put the cracked eggs back into the pot and add enough water to cover them completely.
• Add herbal egg ingredient packets x 2
• 20g salt (More or less)
• 6-7 tbsp dark soya sauce
• 3 tbsp light soya sauce
• 65g sugar
• Allow the eggs to simmer in the "herbal tea" for 3 hours or some people prefer over night (But I like fresh egg, overnight eggs are not good for health though).

**Half way through you may give the boiled egg a hit on the shell and let in stay in the pot:)

The best herbal egg in town!

I like herbal tea eggs but not many are good, usually the taste is only on the surface of eggs and so far tasteless inside.

Today, I've by passed this Yu Yan Seng at China Town. You can smell the herbal source from far away....Of course I was ending up buying, no regret though, indeed it's one of the best I've ever tried!

So excited!

I am excited! Have been thinking for a while to do up a blog about food and eating....but I am lazy!

Till my colleague just mentioned about Singapore's food services are getting worse,  I need a blog to write all about food...good and the bad!

Here it begin....;)
