Today happens to be a pretty blue day for me. The third renovation project on my block in the past 6 months had just started 2 units away from my place, and apparently another neighbor 2 units in the other direction had sold their place too… so yet more construction coming our way it seems. [...]

Posted in Food on December 5, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Pepe and I went to the new burger joint near his place for dinner/supper… it’s called Fat Boy’s along Thomson Road, next to the Long House coffee shop, the Shell petrol kiosk and Liquid Kitchen. It has this modern and chic decor, well-placed lighting and neat bench-tables. The most important point of all, was the [...]

About a week ago, on one of the many rainy evenings we’ve had recently, we made ginseng chicken soup. Yumma! :) Mom almost dropped the idea because she thought she couldn’t get one done in time for dinner, but I couldn’t resist cooking that nice fresh chicken she bought on the same day from the [...]

I have no idea why I wanted this photo taken. Mmm…hands in the turkey looks a bit obscene but, oh well, that’s cooking for you. 40th Street near Market St. A beautiful sight.

Covent Garden and Soho.
Posted in Celebrate, Food, Mosey Around on December 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This was at Covent Garden, where there was this guy singing and performing at the basement courtyard, improvising with real people sitting there and pulling them into the performance. This was in front of Covent Garden where there were plenty of shops. The ubiquitous but still charming phone boxes. Another ubiquity – Pubs. I wouldn’t [...]

This was the scallop seafood dish I cooked for dinner for Peirong when she just randomly proclaimed over g-chat “I have a craving for scallops!” in the middle of the day. Oh yes, I queued up 30min just to pay for the scallops cause somehow the whole world was at Trader Joe’s stocking up…and managed [...]
