Singapore Adventure: Sunday Cooking Spree

I had the house all to myself this Sunday, and so, I thought of having a little cooking spree.

For lunch, since I had a friend over to keep me company while waiting out for the owner of the flat to come by (who eventually didn't show up), I cooked pork adobo and white rice.

It was a success!!! Hurrah!!!

We enjoyed the food. And so, now I have a witness that my pork adobo is really tasty. Hehe...

There were still some leftover pork adobo. And so, I may still have something to pack for lunch tomorrow. Yum =P~

For dinner, I cooked Sauteed Green Beans with Glass Noodles, or in simple Pinoy terms, Guinisang Monggo with Sotanghon. Hehehe...

This time, I may not have any witness to testify that it is delicious. But I know you'll take my word for it. ;)

It took a while to boil the beans, and the glass noodles need LOTS of water. Inspite of these obstacles, the outcome is still satisfactory. Hee... ^_^

Hmmm... Those are two more recipes crossed out of my Learn To Cook list. My Mama will be proud, and I am happy. :D

Singapore Adventure: Sneak Peak

On the first day of the coming month, this will be my new abode, to share with my Prince Cookie, of course. :)

Just looking at the photos and it feels like home already. ;)

Singapore Adventure: Serving Tea

The pantry at our office serves free-flowing drinks at no charge through vending machines.

There is a coffee brew machine where the code 711 vends out my favorite Cadbury Choco Creame Hot Chocolate drink. And also different coffee concoctions. Another drink vending machine gives out cold and hot drinks. My favorite on this machine is the Hot/Cold Milo. And every now and then Hot/Cold Nescafe Coffee when I feel for it.

But just this week, the pantry has been upgraded! There is also now a section on the pantry countertop for tea. There is commercial Lipton tea, and traditional Green and Jasmine teabags. Plus individual packed sugar and creamer.

I helped myself to a cup of Jasmine Tea and it was glorious! Just like the tea they serve in Chinese restos. Hehe...

So, every once in a while, I can grab some Jasmine or Green hot tea when the other drinks start to taste too familiar. And I've read that drinking Jasmine and Green tea has a lot of health benefits to boast of, too. ;)

Singapore Adventure: The Last Round of My Meaty Spaghetti

Last Friday, I had a really severe case of craving... Craving for spaghetti, that is. And since I still have one more pack of Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce Italian Style and UFC Tamis Anghang Banana Catsup in my Pinoy stuff stash, I decided to finally put an end to this craving. :D

I cooked my spaghetti, and has been having it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even merienda since Friday night. Hehe... There is so much for just one person to consume, eventhough I am such a fan of spaghetti, I couldn't chug down the finished product all in one sitting.

But today, it is the last round for my Meaty Spaghetti. I am having half a serving now for breakfast and the rest, I am packing for today's lunch.

After this last serving, it will be a while again before I can prepare my spaghetti recipe. Hopefully, my Cookie will already be here to share it with me. And just like the last time, spaghetti mortality stats in this flat shall rise again. :))

Singapore Adventure: Hectic End of Month Weekend

After purchasing a DS Lite, I thought I would start locking myself in the room and just play 'til I drop. But no... The weekend that just passed sure was a hectic, and fun one.

Friday, our DBA Eric P. from the ex-job came by Singapore to pay us a visit. We just had a "take-away" dinner at the Rivervale Crest condo, and a lot or catching up. It was nice to have someone from home. Everytime. :)

Saturday was Capt. Jet's birthday dinner at the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant in East Coast Seafood Center. A hefty serving of local seafood delicacies - Chili Crab, Black Pepper Crab, Cereal Prawn, Crispy Baby Squid. It was a wonderful night spent at the scenic seaside, with delicious food, and great company. The group also went for a little stroll. Passing by the Ski360 place - Singapore's first Cable Ski Resort, and chanced upon some street performers at the hawker center at the far end of East Coast Park.

Sorry for the low-res pictures. Only taken with my phone camera. Lighting was bad.

I woke up the next day almost thinking I slept on my own bed. But really, I was still at the condo, on Hazel's bed. Hehe.. We got home a bit late already, so I opted to stay for the night. Sunday was spent preparing Tinola and Pork Adobo for lunch, and playing multiplayer games with Fred on the DS Lite. Shucks, I sucked at those games. But I did win one game against Fred in Mario Kart and Elite Beat Agents. Need to practice more. :D
