New Recipes!

We found a large chinese provision shop across the 

bridge, 15-20mins cycle away from our guesthouse.

There, we went crazy and stocked up on all sorts of food

and spices and sauces. I just wanted to buy everything 

back because they looked so tempting!

Here's our Beef Tom Yum

And guess what, we even made Laksa! haha i was

craving for laksa ever since i left Singapore, so i bought

all the ingredients (like laksa paste, coconut milk, tao pok,

fishballs) and we cooked laksa on thursday. Its surprisingly 

easy to cook (seriously man... you guys should try it at home)

This just shows how much "liao4" we put inside

our laksa, we had shredded chicken too (i steamed the

chicken before that and then shredded it). Of course,

some credit goes to my mom who gave some tips on how

to cook this local delight. But i want to encourage you pple

(esp the char bohs hahaha) to try your hand at cooking.

Its really fun and as you gain experience there's no limit

to what you can cook =)

Here's guowei's veggies, we added some jap sauce to

it so it tasted really good

Its been 1 month + 1 week and i would say we're really

getting the hang of staying overseas. From laundry to

cooking and washing up + room maintainence, they're

pretty simple disciplines which make our life so much

more comfortable if we abide by them. i'm glad my threshold

for untidyness is pretty moderate (so i do spring cleaning pretty

often once i reach my limit). The only thing that i procrastinate

doing is washing my jeans - which i've been wearing for 3 weeks

*but i've changed already la... so not that "la sup gwee" (hokkien for unhygienic)
