Food Glorious Food!

I decided to take it easy on my trips for the past two weeks just to finish up on my assignments. And a good chance try out my hidden culinary skills while being grounded here.


I tried making prawn mee soup and invited some guys over for a makan session. Verdict: the no msg soup can be better even though I tried boiling the bones and prawn head over night.

Some of the Outdoor Ed International students gathered at Sean's place and prepared a dish from their own country for dinner. So we got American cheese burgers, Swedish meatballs, Indian chicken curry, English bread pudding, some Japanese fried cake, Australian dessert and I did the Singapore fried rice.

Other times, a simple plate of chicken noodles together with Tim Tams is good enough for dinner.
Milo peng and kaya toast for breakfast...forget about the half boiled eggs. Takes too long to prepare just to finish it in less than five seconds. No need to send me food pictures from home anymore...cos this is as close the taste of home as it gets!

And it can't taste any closer than this! The kaya is not only made in Singapore but its from the street behind my place! I am going down to Melbourne to buy one carton worth of kaya back after this.

Something else from Melbourne...this is the result of Rocky's impulsive buying. I usually stay clear from the big ones cos they stink a bit more than the small ones but not these! They are so fresh that they were still moving when we squeeze the lemon on them!
And here is my tuna steak with sauté mushrooms! It not only taste good but also healthy. A bit expensive though... I mean to prepare! not buy! Thanks Gene for the tuna steak recipe. Anyway I read this from some where: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need". So it is always good to try in life, you will never know...Cheers!
