and yet another inverse rainbow

taken from the 24th floor
does it look like this rainbow actually ends somewhere? (see the white building with vertical lines in the middle)
a pot of gold, perhaps?

thanks dada!

this time, it's thai

sue's pad thai specially made on my request (pad thai is like spicy fried flat noodles with prawns, bean sprouts, chillies, eggs and usually tossed with chopped peanuts) but this one was without the peanuts 'cause i just can't stand them =)

the recipe:

• buy pad thai sauce
• follow instructions on packet / bottle
  
  

dada's kar phow / spicy minced pork with basil leaves, also cooked specially for me... i even had my own private plate of this!
isn't it just bursting out of the page with it's mouth-watering juicy goodness? (click on picture for full effect)


the recipe

• marinate minced pork with light soy sauce (to taste)
• meanwhile, heat oil and add chopped fresh chillies and garlic
• sauté until fragrant
• add pork then stir in thick soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar (to taste)
• add basil leaves, stir some more
• remove from heat once basil leaves are 'wilted'

isolated tower

high up in the tower
far from civilization
where the lift not breaking down on a regular basis is considered odd
where you can get lost on a floor even though it's all just one big cylinder
and in its underground maze

- thanks chris c.!

korean relish... and a kimchi overdose

one of the clearer pictures (the lighting was just terrible, the other photos were just blurs of red & orange)
this is the beef bulgogi.
yeah, go ahead. drool.

from the top:

• that's half of me
• fried kimchi (kimchi + sliced pork) topped with sunny side up egg on steamed rice
• side dishes anti-clockwise from top left - sesame oil seasoned cucumber slices, some sweet chilli zucchini with onion thing, more kimchi only this one is cold and finally some omelette slices
• and the beef bulgogi.

not in the picture: kimchi chigae / hotpot (yes, more kimchi) and the rice that comes with the bulgogi and... (non-food) 'gorgeous moonface'

quote of the day: "hurry up and take the picture, before i finish it"
-moonface-
p.s: this said just under 2 minutes after the food arrived

one of my favourite sites to visit whenever those hunger pangs and cravings attack

finally, a chocolate post... sort of

chocolate recipes, myths... All About Chocolate (from Chocolate: The Exhibition) has it all

heavenly, yummy, melt in your mouth, whatever you call it...

apricot with mascarpone cheese stuffing

note the glistening, oh-so-sweet apricot texture

creamy fill your mouth sweet & sour-ish/ thick yoghurt-like cheese on the inside... sweet, slightly rough yet soft apricot on the outside...
