The sun is up after the Monday rain! :D Hooray! Glorious day for chilled lunches.
I didn't go to the supermarket and made do with whatever's in the fridge & kitchen cupboard. :) I stole Koka's chicken to make this delightful chilled bow tie pasta (Farfalle).
Ingredient (serves 2):
100g of Farfalle
Shredded chicken
Some orange juice - there's no lemon in the fridge
3-4 tablespoons of Mayo
2 hard boiled eggs - to represent the sunny day? ;) I did a bad job in slicing the eggs...duh... :/
Method:
Cook the pasta per instruction on the packaging, set aside
In a mixing bowl, mix the mayo & orange juice well
Add the shredded chicken & cooked pasta & mix again
Chilled the chicken & pasta and the eggs for at least 30 mins
Enjoy the summer!
Loving it! A little sweet, a little tangy...
Sorry Koka, you have lesser chicken for dinner tonite! :D
Wendy & Edwin're moving out of their lovely nest & so we had some sort of housecooling "party". :) Their home is almost in boxes. Hence we did dinner at Whampoa Keng Fishhead Steamboat, which was within walking distance. :)
We aren't good with eating fishheads & dealing with bones. Sadly, the place doesn't serve grouper slices & we settled for badan slices (I'm not a fan of badan fish). Thank goodness, it wasn't that bad. :) The soup was flavourful with taro strips, sour plums, cabbages, dried fish bits etc. :).
The street side tofu wins hands down. It's light & healthy. We just gotta have steamed rice to go with it. :) Just a bowl of steamed rice for 4 ladies please...
Lin suggested trying the pork ribs (排骨王). Ooo, they're so tender. The pork ribs have been deep fried as there're certain parts that were a little crispy. :)
We ordered san lau hor fun (三捞河粉) to satisfy Tina's craving. The fish slices were fresh & the beansprouts & chives gave the rice noodle extra crunch. :)
Whampoa Keng's lime juice comes with plum...we gave ours to Tina. :D
I'm not sure about the rest of them, but I much prefer the other dishes to the steamboat. :)
Dessert was durian at Combat but it wasn't fantastic because we are nearing the end of the durian season. So I'm not gonna talk about it. *.*
The highlight of the nite was PACKING. :D There're lots of stuff yet to be packed. What a great way to exercise away our dinner! ^.* And Wendy & Edwin are now cleared of 7 boxes of what's not.

Lin has been raving about how she much prefers Itacho Sushi over Sushi Tei's. Yvonne & I finally checked the place out today. My conclusion? It's just another sushi chain. :)
There are a few items I do like. The crabmeat chawamushi is one. :) It's delish.
The tender grilled pork atop the sushi rice is lovely too.
We heart the ebi tempura sushi. :) They aren't greasy & I figured we could down two each. But that's just a passing thought. :)))
Duck rice? Nah...duck sushi. :)
The tamago sushi is not as sweet as those served in other sushi chains. Not too bad I supposed.
I like maki for their easy bite size. :) It's easy to pop these prawn makis non-stop...
And who can resist the colourful Sakura Don? I love the name of this dish & I love the colours! :D
The tuna sushi was average.
Stuff I would pass the next visit:
Salmon sushi...not impressionable...
We love pumpkin tempuras, but not these chunky sorts... :(
I guess we'll be coming back again since Lin likes it and we do find some stuff that we like. :)

Happy Birthday Singapore! :D We organized a mini flavourful celebration at home & everyone came in red &/or white! ^.*
A sneak at what was served: Laksa, one of the favorite local fare. :) Loving it! :)
We weren't sure if satays are sold in the day. Hence we bought the raw ones from a neighbourhood market the nite before. We just placed them in the oven & they are ready to be eaten. Awesome! :) We can enjoy satays any time of the day! :D
Serena & Francis bought tau kwa poks (grilled beancurd with stuffings). These tau kwa poks had braised egg, cucumber & crispy bits in them. Thumbs up! :D
Pauline & NC got us Old Chang Kee curry puffs & Tina got us durian puffs! Puff, puff... :D
We got Kit Kat & Coke because of their red & white packaging. The colours are super apt for National Day! :) Moreover Edwin needed his coke fix! :)))
Wendy & Edwin bought Magnum to further sweeten our National Day luncheon! :)
I'm multi-tasking; blogging & catching the National Day Parade on TV. It reminded me of how far we have come as a nation. We're truly blessed to call Singapore home. :)
My Sunday breakfast request this week is chwee kueh! :) We haven't had these steamed rice cake for a loooooong while. We love the melt-in-your-mouth texture & they go so well with crunchy preserved radish. *.*
Beanie got these chwee kuehs from some random stall. :) But they tasted good nonetheless. :)
Lin & I are always fascinated by how effortlessly & quick the stall aunties or uncles remove the steamed rice cakes out of their aluminium molds. :)
Blessed Sunday. :) What did you have for breakfast today? :)
Today's visit to the doc seemed more positive. So we brought Sheau Wen to Roadhouse for lunch. :)
The set lunches are good! :D Sheau Wen & Lin chose the 2 course set lunch (starter & main) at SGD 25 while I chose the 3 course one (starter, main & dessert) at SGD 28.
The mushroom soup with a dash of truffle oil & seafood bisque were yummmm. :)
Lin loves Roadhouse's chunky calamari. :D But the portion was a little big for one! :) She ended up removing the batter & ate the squids on their own! Lol! :)))
Sheau Wen enjoyed her tofu & portobello mushroom burger while Lin & I savoured plain Jane! :) The beef was juicccccy... *.* If Jane could speak, she should be very talkative! She has two extremely long waggy tongues (pickles)! :D
The pesto chicken pasta was quite light. :) Not too bad...
We are an obedient bunch. We saved room for dessert (it's one of the rules on the blackboard as you enter Roadhouse). ;) And well...it's good we obey at times. :) The Oreo mud pie further sweeten our Friday noon. :D

Come to me savory goodness...Beanie finally bought us my fav turnip crytsal dumplings. :)
There are 2 other flavours: yam & sweet bean paste (Beanie's fav). Beanie & mom cleared them before I could take any pics. So there're only turnip crystal dumplings for this post. *.*
We love the crunch of the turnip fillings. :D Gorgeous! There are bits of mushrooms & minced pork in the dumplings too. They make great snacks!
