what are you eating today?

[irridated]

where's the lime wedge, mint leaves and brown sugar in the mojito ?

the food looks really good

[valhalla]

^ they've all been eaten.

[soepom's sl*t]

I finally get a home-cooked meal prepared by Daddo's.

Fish (red snapper) curry, fried tofu and dark sauce with chillies served with piping hot rice.

And for dinner...

Who would've thought one could fine good, cheap pasta in a hawker centre?! We had Spaghetti Ham Olio, beef stroganoff with pasta, fish and chips and finally, the sugee (semolina) cookie I'd been craving since Felix's post the other time...

[soepom]

mum: "today nothing much, we eat simple simple okay?"

and this is what she comes up with....

multi grain rice, miso soup, unagi, lotus salad, cold tofu with stewed beef, chawan mushi.

i forget that my standard far differs from that of my mum's.

[dunkin deeznuts]

[baladoongdoong]

Hmm....Just got back from Croatia + 2 road trips, back to back.

Will post pics of me foodies soon before I leave next monday for portugal! haha... if im not too lazy.

[WAYFARER]

i hate you soepom

[__Nicholas]

munchies = left overs from lunch ...

[soepom]

hehehe.... i know i know... i eat so well, it's just not right. even i feel embarassed sometimes over how well fed i am.

that said, the feastin is going to last just one more week before i have to start work in the day time, and my mum ends her vacation. so no more home-cooked meals for a long time to come when that happens... it'll be up to you guys to up the stakes in here and keep the thread fresh!

but till then, lunch today:

lamb kebab and cranberry baked rice, with turkish apple tea and experimental red wine jelly.

the jelly was potent stuff. consistency was a little stiff, but nevertheless a fun way of consuming your alcohol (then again, when is alcohol not fun?). and boy does it hit you fast - 'cos it's so yummy you down it quick.

[perledeculture]

had SUCH a good food day today

-chicken and corn soup for breakfast

-belgian waffle with nuttela for lunch (before an exam, felt I was going to fail so not very hungry)

-indian for dinner home-delivered from a restaurant: tandoori chicken, yoghurt sauce, pumpkin curry, some other curry with beef

[Felix]

[baladoongdoong]

Recent Roadtrip to Croatia...

Zadar: some stuff we ate there at a restaurant.

Grilled Scampi, Fried Calamares, Lamb Steak, Fries, Some croatian mix meat stuff which is a tat too salty.

There's this reddish thing that looks like ketchup which they call it 'Ajvar'... made with paprika n peppers etc...super awesome man!!! eat it with anything!

[baladoongdoong]

in Split, the restaurant that was sooo hard to find...

3 of us ate like 2 meals at one go... cost only like 20 pounds each!

Frog Stew

Seafood Risotto

Fish Puree Soup

Scampi Risotto

Seafood Pasta

Pasta Carbonara with Truffles (Apparently it costs like 2 - 4euros per gram of truffle, was very nice though)

Not shown,

Seafood mix grilled fish kebabs with fresh scallops, mussels, clams etc

Monk Fish wrapped in Bacon + Butter rice

[baladoongdoong]

Lastly, in Omis at our apartment

Self cooked meal of 1kg of scampi, octopus, squid EACH plus 500gm of rump steak and another 500gm of lamb steak plus 1 freshly caught fish bought directly from the fishing boat and veggies from market in another nearby town. Oh, not forgetting the ever required Heineken beer!!!

As you can see, three guys managed to finish all those shit in 1 day! hahaaa...fucking awesome man!!! plus cigars after the meal to wash it off together with more BEER!!! coolios..

[whizkit]

"push cart" ice-cream wafer sandwich

[soepom]

not sure 'bout your friends baladoongdoong...but that food looks mighty sexxxaaaayyyyyyy! i wanna go to croatia now.

jaypee - that's one MASSIVE steak!!!!

whizkit - props for old skool wafer ice cream. i prefer the raspberry vanilla swirl flavour though.

my mum wanted fast food. and this is her favourite:

the green curry shrimp (right at the top) saved the day. it looks like ordinary deep-fried bread-crumbed prawn, but it's actually got some green curry paste and if you're lucky, tiny bits of lemon grass stuffed inside. nice.

i still prefer MOS burger's butterfly prawns though.

[baladoongdoong]

yeah Croatia's soooo cool man! its unlike any other european country.

A self drive trip will be more well worth rather than taking the public transport.

[soepom]

a variation of the common pyramidical ones:

jumbo rice dumpling - glutinous rice with chunks of roast duck and roast pork, chinese sausages, chestnuts, gingko nuts, salted egg yolk and dried shrimp; wrapped and steamed in bamboo leaves.

an aromatic dish, with a strong piece of chinese history.

[Pandemonium]

the presentation of those dishes, soepom, is truly amazing.

[irridated]

fried chicken briyani

some indian food stall near NAFA

[whizkit]

chocolate banana gelato

freaking hot day! Gelato starting melting and trickling down my hand the moment I stepped out of the aircon.

[soepom]

Pandemonium yeah my mum is really big on making her food look as sexy as it tastes - i'm not complaining of course!

whizkit looks like your shirt had a good time... mmmm. chocolate banana ( i don't know why but it suddenly looks like i spelt that wrong. maybe it's cos i had a whisky and 3 red wines before knocking off work...)

anyways.

dinner with mr tweedles:

i had beef noodles. with lots of lime, and chinchalok ( i don't know how this should be spelt).

our local denimhead had pappadums and murtabak with curry.

^ what's the matter? if it's truly good, shouldn't be a problem coming back to it again and again.

that said, you could've done something different even if it's with the same ingredients /instant jap curry condiment. try doing it with pasta. or layer with lasagna/baked rice topped with cheese.

it's never about what you have, it's what you do with it. and above all, who you are.

lunch:

my mum has mastered the art of making odds and ends in the fridge look like a princely meal.

[whizkit]

lunch/tea

avocado caesar wrap

white coconut cake with cream cheese

soepom - when are you going to bring everybody for a meal at your "restaurant"?

that just inspired me to go made the jap curry pasta with mushrooms and spam.

Soepom:
