Finally after multi-levels of procrastination, I decided to try cooking the pork ribs that had been on my "to try" list for months now. I like tangy spare-ribs ［糖醋排骨］and been meaning to make them for ages now. One of the reason it took so long was because I was hoping to find a small bottle of Black vinegar as required ingredient but all I could locate was the big bottles. Why do I want a huge

Was shopping at Times Square yesterday. Not the best move since Causeway bay is often the most crowded on weekend. We were on the 9th topmost floor heading down to the ground floor. When the elevator reached the ground floor, all those non-Hong Kong people crowding at the door didnt budge. There was a HK chap stuck in the middle who obviously was pressed for time and looked fustrated. Seeing

As I mentioned, it was rainy week the time we were in Santorini. One of the nights we were in OIA, it was pissing down thunderstorm, so much so that the streets were transformed to mini streams and made walking impossible. The little gal and doggie was such a endearing sight. She was waiting for her mummy and decided to make herself comfortable patting another owner's doggie. Kids,

Our hotel Le Petit Palace is located in the town of Fira. Fira is a relatively small and uninteresting town. Oia is definitely prettier than Fira but since we wanted a good hotel, we stuck to Fira. There is a free shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to the town itself but the hours are like every 2 hours if I rem correctly. It isnt convenient but u can grab a cab to town which is a short

Had to wait almost 20mins to get a clear shot with no one in sight, only made possible thanks to this American old couple who physically blocked off all oncoming traffic from behind me. Thank you:) After a happy lunch, waiting for the rain storm to pass. It was pissing down as I took the shot. Time for lunch Lotsa donkeys. Lotsa poo.

There were 2 days we made separate trips and took the local bus to Oia, in the hope of catching nice sunset over the whitewash city. Luck wasnt much with us, we had dark looming dark rain clouds most of the way though we did get spurts of beautiful orange sunset while waiting, and also, we too caught some rainbow during the bus journey.  Overlooking the city The infamous blue cap dome

Took a couple of days off to Santorini. Lovely islands. It was kinda rainy when we were there and so we didnt get much good sunset views. Still, lovely views are lovely views and rain dint put a damper to the good spirits. We took a local plane to the island instead of the ferry because of the strike going on and I didnt want to risk ruining my hols because someone else decided to protest for a

Abit belated but just realised that I hadnt posted my Greece leg of my previous trip yet. Athen apart from her historical rich cultural artifact grounds, really isnt a fantastic place. Lots of "over pricing" in euro and service wasnt up to par. Then again no offense, western countries are not really known for the sort of service Asians are used to in our part of the globe. Generally, I did

Came home just in time to see the HK fireworks from my apartment while unpacking. Isnt the most exciting fireworks I had seen but no complaints there. At least I get to have a little peek of all the festive excitement... I prob should have taken a video on hindsight but since I didnt think much of it, so I didnt really want to bother myself. New year new resolutions...none really. More likely

The sat morning before I flew off, two other gfs drove down specially from the West to the East to have brunch with me..*Super Touched* After lunch at Dian Xiao Er which was better than I had anticipated (esp the stir fried lotus vege dish), we headed to NYDC @Tampines One. The Big O cake is still as delicious as ever!!! It's days like these that I wish we have more cafes in HK.... The Big

After much logistical change, the Friday dinner for 5 ended up for 3 which was fine by me since dinner was still good. I turned up alittle later than expected being held up due to the trip to the vet with my doggie but thankfully the other gals werent too early too. Phew... We tried a new place PS Cafe@ Palais Renaissance in Orchard based on my IJ gf's recommendation. She wasnt wrong, the food

There aint many uni frens that I get to meet up from my course. Mainly being they are all guys with families (too busy changing diapers and packing their children to sleep - doing what used to be a mother's role...lol), and two being that: for some others, I was no longer close to those whom used to be really close to for various reasons.

The next group was meeting up with my college council buddies. It's becoming quite a "tradition" for us to meet up on most of my trip back now. Which is partially due to our super "on" council president who helped organise all the makan trips. Good thing too that they have supporting spouse who looks after the kids while they do the "late owl" nites with us. Hahaha! This trip is especially

The next day was catching up with other IJ gals who couldnt make it for dinner the nite before. So at Ramona's suggestion, we decided to meet at Velocity@Novena, to lunch @Professor Brawn Cafe. One of the reason for the pick is that the cafe is a socially responsible company, set up to aid children/people with autism. There is no reason not to support a joint with such a noble cause. Plus

Straight after my Krabi trip was non-stop action in catching up with my friends from school days! The first nite back was spent with the girls from secondary days. 20 years on and still counting. Gwen made it back from Oz for Xmas as well and so it was great since she had missed out on several past gatherings. Since we were the only 2 available ones who could meet up earlier, we went around

Had a fabulous Xmas for a change this year! Left my partner to his journey home alone while I opted out of heading back to Oz and went back to Singapore and Krabi instead! Had planned for a 5 day/4 nite stay in Krabi just the week before Xmas. Basically it was to be a R&R trip with some snorkeling and fishing thrown in. After Maldives, dont really expect much from snorkeling elsewhere especially

Had a go at making salt & chilli fried calamari. Think it went okie except I need to get fresher produce next time. Considered success for first attempt I supposed since I didnt over fry it. Didnt realise herbs can  taste so good even fried! lol! The recipe will have to wait till I perfect it:)

Oh grreat! Singapore Taxi - Comfort has decided to have a fare hike as well. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1169537/1/.html What REALLY ticks me off when I read the article was this sentence was the urging of National taxi Association urging other operators to adjust their fares as soon as possible.

Received an E-Invite today. It reads "RSVP-ing with your attendance...blab blah" Is there even such a word as RSVP-ing????? RSVP translates from French to mean Please reply in plain English. So how can "Please reply-ing" be anything but super WRONG?? I dont know if it was the Singapore wedding organisors or my frends who wrote that message but it really ticks me when I read it. I dont know why

Was busy cooking dinner when my husband got back. He popped into the kitchen and asked if I needed help. "Could you help stir the rice before scooping?" I said to him. So my man took the rice scooper and said this as he opened the lid. "My wife told me to stir you up. I shall stir you up. SO.. You think you are sooooo Fluffy Mr Rice?" It had me laughing for a good 5mins starting from there.

The last time I was here in Tsukiji was many years ago, before the ban of visitors in the auction site. I didnt bother then, I didnt bother now. I came here the last time but I missed out on the 2 famous sushi joints. This time round, going with my galfrens, we decided to brave the 3 hours long wait in line.

About time to catch up on my posts after hidden away to mug for my papers. During the trip to Tokyo this time, I decided to go on a lovely hike. I couldnt decide Mount Takao or Mount Mitake. Since my partner had initially wanted to go hiking, I thought I would leave the Takao for him while I checked out Mitake. In the end with all the shopping, we didnt end up going to Mount Takao...partially

Undeniably, Japan people are really creative. Singaporeans keep bitching about our education system stifling our creativity...but isnt Japanese students facing the same stress in a more oppressing society than ours? Yet, their country constantly produces innovative and beautiful products for us all round the world. At times I wonder...is education really the culprit here, or the bigger issue

Been chilling out in Tokyo for over a week now..weather's been cloudy with rain on some days starting tomorrow. People always say shopping in Japan is expensive...I dunno relative to what..Kmart or Target pricing?

My 1000th post on 1st Nov. Caught up with Al today for a quick bite before his afternoon plane back to the states. It's been like what, 11years since we last met in person. Maybe we have been out of touch for sooo long since we broke up which explains the lack of awkwardness. Too much water under the bridge. Well he was late for the appointment to begin with coming in from Macau this morning.

Had high tea today with my ex-classmate. Havent seen her for 2 months now since she gave birth. So it was good to catch up, eat, and chill in the Conrad Lobby lounge. This is probably like what, my only 3rd high tea in my lifetime, with first 2 in Singapore and my first here in HK. Nope, never bothered with the Peninsular crap since it's more like a "hype myth" and "luxurious" experience than

Am sure many HK locals are familiar with the Japanese salon Hair-do (website) in HK. Despite some ups and downs in the initial sessions trying out various stylists, I had finally settled with Ito-san Senior Designer as my hair stylist.

Before heading to Istanbul, I will confess that I didnt know what to expect for their food. I mean I know its Mediterranean food but since I tend to avoid them in Asia, quite frankly, I didnt quite know what constitute a Mediterranean diet apart from cheese and olives. So it came as a pleasant surprise when it was meat, seafood and fish galore in Istanbul! Yipppeee! Apart from all things

My husband was telling me the other day, that his sister aka the fat bitch has not been going over to their mother's place for some time. Seemed like she was busy with something. I had to bite my tongue to refrain from passing sarcastic remarks that now that their 2 spoilt brats are grown up and in school, and the fat lazy arse no longer requires their mum to feed and care for the kids, of

Most people would bitch and blog about bad service experiences and tend to neglect and give credit to moments where we experience really good service. So for 5 mins of my time today, I decided to give a fair and deserving compliments to Siemens for the purchase of my front loader. I decided to go with Siemens front loader WM14S496GB after many considerations. Primarily, it was the ONLY company

This year has absolutely been nothing but a farking money sucking year. I was expecting to bleed my bank account a little being the "taishui year" and both my husband and my birth year had the honor of clashing with the deity..Undeniably, everything seems to be wreaking havoc in our households regardless one chooses to believe in the fortune telling"hocus pocus" or not...

Some HK people are just so...I dunno how to put it, but bluntly put are a bunch of "show off hate to lose" people. I went to Sogo yesterday, looking for front loader replacement options. There was already a HK couple aged about 50plus and there was only one sales staff serving the washer area. It didnt matter since I like to see my options first without anyone trying to lay the sales pitch on me

My Electrolux Ergo Loader EWF1470 front loader finally gave way, well kind of after faithful service of 4 years. It has been a joy to have my buddy doing my washing at least twice a day. I dont know how the older model I had purchased in 2004 (which has less of these sensor gimmicks) is still running along happily despite lack of care by my tenants, but my newer model which is made in Italy ended

While waiting for my mini bus today, an advertisement caught my eye. It was one targeted at parents on the mission for a good school for their young ones. However, the slogan had me laughing. It goes "We help you uncover the hidden bright side of your child." I was laughing because I didnt know if the school even realise how far out their slogan meant, or the other interpretation of their

I have had my share of not so great deli-cafes but none has invoked such a strong urge to pen my dissatisfaction down except for Epoch, located at Star Street Hong Kong. Previously, I had read a positive review about the place in the HK magazine. I went to their website (http://www.epochdesserts.com/) and it was a sophisticated, slick and happening little site that seemed to know exactly what it

Do you have one of those days where it contains one of those mini pockets of surprise? I had one of those today. With strange luck, my neighbor's super noisy renovation for no reason took a hiatus today without a single peep which thus allowed me to sleep beyond 9am. In fact, it was 12.30pm, when my dry cleaning guy buzzed my bell to deliver my stuff. I woke with a start actually because I was

Did I say how much I love my Mac? However, I did love it only a little less for a couple of months when I was experiencing much angst with some websites that do not support anything else apart from I.E. Such corporate imbeciles. Besides that, I was pretty annoyed that Mac's version of itune couldnt auto convert    .wav tracks into .mp3 as the PC's version. Throw in the fact that there isnt a

Must have been super busy to have completely forgotten about my India trip last Dec. Gotto start work on that one day soon. In any case, brought back a handcrafted (with vivid hand painted Indian theme) momento made of camel bones. It has those trays and compartments within for accessories and stationery I suppose. Another thing to hoard at home...

Went roaming the Pacific Place Mall @ Admiralty with a girlfriend. She had wanted to shop for "wedding" gift for her brother in law's upcoming wedding. She had originally intended to get Hermes designer plates and quite frankly for those prices, nothing really had us go "wahhhhh". So why bother right?

My 2nd Sony ear piece died on me shortly just after a year, well one side of it at least. It probably had enough of those "rapid descent and hit the floor "incidents. The first one had lasted me much longer but it had suffered a pre-matured death after my mum washed my jeans coz I had forgotten to take the ear piece out of the pocket after my flight. It was also another of those "died on one side

I am irresistible to all things cute and functional. I spotted this in 生活館@ Times Square. ANanbu cast iron tea pot from Japan and after sitting on it for 2 weeks, I decided to get it with another set for my mum. It's not an impulsive decision. The very first time I had seen this years was back in The Quay restaurant in Sydney, the green version. Was already intrigued by it then. Shortly

Both of us loves that fresh brewed taste of tea leaves. Having been so accustomed to tea leaves beverage, I have stopped buying tea bags for a while now. During one of those evening while shopping for dinner groceries, my partner spotted this tea strainer in a mug in 4 lovely colors. It's about HK260 each but it was really good quality stuff. Even though we have tea pots, tonnes of it infact,

I take great delight in being a foodie. So I present to you the great Steuben Grape Juice that should be a staple in every fridge. I wonder if it will taste even better fizzy if I mix it with soda...hmm.. It aint cheap but it's super duper yummilicious. So imagine my inner horror during CNY when my mum emptied one whole bottle, dishing it out to unappreciative kids

I didnt care if she was on standby duty and risk the possibility of eat and run if patient calls. I will take my risk than force myself through a meal with forced conversations. Did Jap cusine.

One of the greatest thing in life apart from family is friends. What will my life be like without all my friends is rather unthinkable! During my last trip back to Australia for Dad's birthday in June, caught up with my galfren currently doing her medical stint in Sydney. Would have been better if she had been doing her stint while I was still living in Sydney back then! Think of all the

For some reason, my partner really loved my minced prawn steam tofu. So made some for him this week before he flew off to Europe for his business trip. Bought some new flavour icecream since my friend raved how nice it was. Errrr...think I will think to my New Zealand icecream or Movenpick. Haagen Dazs has lost its way, or have I grown too old to appreciate sickly sweet ice cream anymore? The

Finally! My damn Dyson Fan finally arrived after 3 months wait! I didnt know that Singapore didnt have to wait at all but in HK, everywhere I asked, it was like sorry there is a line of 3months. After much deliberation, we decided to stuff it and go with it. I admit, it was the aesthetic look that did it for me since it really isnt very powerful!

My lovely friends popped over to HK for their grandmother's birthday. While i had already caught up with the lovely couple back in Singapore, but my partner hasnt. So we found a free time slot and took our favorite people and their mum out for lunch at China Club. With them was this huge chiller box.

Finally rolled my sleeves up to attempt my mother's version of home cook steam egg with minced pork. Didnt know why I put it off for so long despite having seen my mum done it like a million times. Maybe I just was too lazy to mince the pork myself. So came today, I finally set my heart onto the task. Not knowing if it will turn out good or bad in terms of flavor, had to cook a second dish

Didnt have class this week so popped into Central to have lunch with my partner. He decided to treat me to this expensive place Mandarin Grill @ Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

After settling down back home, my craving for wine was insatiable after my trip back to Singapore. It was almost like the drinking monster has been awaken. Before my date with the drinks, we took off to Bel Air to visit a good friend whose wife had just given birth to a second child.

Round 2 started with me being a butt of the joke from my friend who came to pick up this stranded"stray" me since my brother cut my phone off when I tried to call him. Maybe he was with a chick or in a movie, no matter, I found another savior. Haha! We went for supper though it was near impossible for me to digest anymore food.

Tired of always eating in town, decided to try a non fussy "local" french cusine place better known as [The Black Sheep Cafe]. My definition of non-fussy means no Atas Ambience and all that Jazz.

Time flies.  End of August after my Jap paper was time again to make a quick escape back to Singapore. Primarily it was to escape the renovation noise from my neighbor, secondly was just to see my dog. Damn I miss that rascal too much, and I know he missed me too judging from the way he endlessly seek my attention, affection and presence. It was a short trip of a week. Tried to squeeze as many

Once again I learnt something new in Cantonese from my classmates today. I had wanted to say "I wont be here next week.= 下個禮拜我唔係度" but I was told I couldnt say it literally like that.  I had to say "I wont be in Hong KONG next week." instead. (下個禮拜我唔係香港） I was told "I wont be here next week (下個禮拜我唔係度)" in cantonese is taken to mean "I wont be alive/ or dead next week" Wow! Ok! I certainly dont

I must be crazy...trying to memorise new 600 Japanese Kanji in two days. That is 1200 if I include having to remember the corresponding hiragana that comes along with each kanji words.  Sometimes I wonder why I inflict such torture to myself....at this age...

One of my galfren who is living in Japan was sharing about her "horror" of having to relearn or refreshing her mandarin. She was asking if our mandarin was closer to china or Taiwan, apart from the obvious fact that the characters are different and we emulated China's system. As the discussion progress, only then did I realise the disparity (in level and accuracy)  between the way I was taught

Was reading my Twelve Kindgoms novel and the Japanese author really has a very clear and apt insight of the dynamics between the people and the ruling party. This paragraph especially struck a chord with me, esp in recent months observing the Singaporeans living in Singapore and reading about their discontent about everything... Quote lifted from the novel: "It’s easy to criticize others.

Summer has officially arrived. It's only July so it's still hasnt reached the scorching heat yet esp with all the rain this week. Thankfully, have  also got my stupid living room aircon fixed before it gets really hot, not to mention I have to shut ALL my windows tight these days because my neighbor's renovation is not only super noisy, but also irritatingly dusty. Everytime the breeze starts,

Shared this SMH article on China tempted as Facebook prepares to float in Facebook and my galfren shared her dismay at the news. Gal Friend: Holy cow, I hope not. I wonder what Facebook would be called in Chinese if that happened. *shudder* Me: 脸簿（部)！哈哈  Okie, I was being pure cheeky.  I mean, afterall China really like and value their "face" isnt it. bleh ;p

Read this in my friend's facebook status post. One of those "only in Singapore" thingie... I was laughing quite hard over it and decided to "replicate" it here for some light laughs. It was the "Please listen carefully part" that killed me. Me: Ok the email address is "double-u, an, pee, see" (for wnpc).  Somebody's PA: no no no not "double-u" la. Dubjew dubjew. Please listen carefully.  Me: ...

Hahaha..I have been Dreaming and questioning about why flights cannot have a a section cornered off for travellers that does not have to share a cabin space with crying infants...looks like someone out there has heard some rich and powerful people who share the same notion. Malaysia airlines apparently has started a first class route that banned babies in its First class cabin. This only proves

What I had wanted to note today is how much I love HK service. Seriously, I think Singapore will never measure up when it comes to the personal touch. Take for example, I have free dry cleaning pickup delivery service. Because the company hire local people, and they serve particular district, these staff becomes regular faces and know their clients on name basis. Just the other day, I forgot

Winter in sydney now isnt really that cold. It's relatively mild compared to the last I rem when I was staying there. Flew in on friday and had the new Cathay Biz class configuration seat. I definitely like the extra spare table spare by the side. Pretty handy for mac/ laptop users who needed that extra space. The seats are also wider compared to the previous configuration. Is this a sign that

Gone abit nutty this summer sale. Think I had broken the bank within 2 days. The funniest thing was my shopping pattern must be rather pathetic usually because the credit card bank called my mobile immediately after my 4th shop. They wanted to check if it was really me racking up the bill within an hour. The shopping part was not the funny bit. The hilarious bit was me shopping and being "hit on

If you use makeup and dont read this, it's seriously your loss! I dont normally crow about makeup products as often I dont find them too much different from one brand to another. However I got really interested in Giorgo Armani's makeup after I bought some of their products in a moment of impluse. The stuff I am so impressed with is their eye shadow and their Crema Nera Mineral Cleansing Balm/

It took me a while to realise but after using Neo Strata facial cleanser, I am sold on the effectiveness of this cleanser. It has been 8 months since I started on this. If you have sensitive skin (prone to combination/ oily skin depending on the weather) like me, U really ought to try this. It works way better than Demalogica Special Gel Cleanser and less harsh than many cleansers out in the

After lunch, was walking out from Times Square when I got to witness a super loud verbal fighting scene between an ABC (American Born Chinese) tourist vs a typical old China Fart-head with wife. The ABC aged about 40yr while the China Fart-head looked about late 50s. They were fighting in English, or rather it was a typical one way street argument. The whole thing caught my attention when I

There is an old saying which goes "If you have nothing smart to say, dont say it." My husband was sharing with me one conversation he had with his girlies at work. The thing she said was so mind-blowingly stupid that I just had to share it, as a joke of sort. My husband and his staff are making a biz trip to Singapore soon and they were talking about St Regis. One of his staff enquired if there

Went to Hutong on Saturday, finally. After all these years in Hong Kong, never did bother to try it since we have heard reviews that the food was average. People just head there for the view. They werent wrong. I really shouldnt have bothered. It was utter waste of time and money. Alot of hype without substance is how I would define this establishment. We got there about 6.30pm since we were

I am a lazy cook. I dont like to cook things that are too fussy or needs alot of preparation in general.  However I love to eat and kinda sick of cooking the same chinese stuff over and over again. So tried a new western recipe - Caramalised Chicken Thigh Cutlets. Takes about 20mins to prepare in advance and another 20mins to cook. Ingredients - 2 teaspoons veg oil- 4 chicken thigh cutlets skin

Tried cooking my mum's Sweet and Sour Pork for the first time, and it was a real success! Thank God! I was too lazy to go get the pineapples but it turned out alrite though my cheeky husband was like "Where's the pineapple? I like the pineapples!" I had to tell him his wife is too tired and lazy to head out just to grab a can of pineapples and they didnt have fresh ones in the wet market in the

Was quite a kick today to finally catch up with one of my excolleague after all these years. For some reason, we never got to meet since I returned to HK. We had talked a couple of times the initial year I was back but somehow events resulted in our meet up never to materialise. Today was a rare treat to see a familiar face, an old fren, my confidante again. There are friends, and there are

Had plenty of time while I was sick last week, and so I figured a little pampering wont do me much harm. So I ended up with a box of Fancl products that include a Skin Renewal Pack and a box of Sebum care (8 individual sachets). Primarily, I had wanted to try out the Sebum care packs which promises to rid blackheads without the squeezing and polishing which was said to damage the skin texture.

Kinda belated in posting my last phuket trip but what the hell, it's my blog. Lol We had canceled the Japan trip and swap it to Phuket last min during the easter break. Initially we were booked in for Indigo Pearl Phuket because we had a good time there when it was newly opened in 2007. We should know better to go there first on a peak season, and secondly when it has gotten such a high

Decided to have some Pi Pa Gao at "Hoi Ting Tong". Havent seen Deb for a whole while now so it was a good catch up session.  We were discussing about the other strange night where our apartments were similarly invaded by these flying ants that were attracted to the lights in our study. It was really disgusting to see them buzzing all over in a huge swarm. Debby was telling me how she was

Finally uploaded more new pixs of my darling Gabby. How much he has grown. Simply cannot believe how attached to me. Sigh...I miss "my" doggie. Bro said he looked kinda sad and listless the first week i was gone. I miss him too...sad sad... wonder if he is still playing the yellow toy that sweet auntie Eileen had bought for him.

Ever since my trip back from Singapore, had been down with a serious bout of sore throat, cold followed by nasty cough. Every thing seemed so mild and harmless with the "free flowing" but otherwise non irritating runny nose. However, the cold and sorethroat refuse to go away after a week, hence had to meekly pay the doctor a visit. Considering it was time to get an estimate for my Hep A and B

Believe it or not, one of the hardest thing to find or didnt find was teapot in Singapore. I mean a DECENT modern-looking one, and not one of those bloody ching-cheong-ugly-shitty-boring-cheena china looking thing. I basically combed through the whole of Isetan, Suntec, Raffles City, Robinson and didnt find a single teapot with proper tea leaves strainer. What? Singaporean dont drink tea of tea

The last Sunday in Singapore was spent with 2 other guy friends. Had to even out the gender ratio this trip back! lol. Primarily had wanted to meet up with Stan since his recent relocation back from Sydney. He was my one and only fren back then and I was so lucky to have been able to spend the year with him there rather than lobo on my own. Funny how life turns out. Stan and I went to the same

One of my old fren fly back from biz trip earlier than I expected, just when I thought we were gonna give each other a miss. It was a little late but better later than never I suppose. Have I not been paying enough attention? Someone got a brand new expensive sports convertible when I wasnt looking! Darn! I m losing my mojo!

Without fail as always, went over to E's place for my usual sleep over for my trip back. We were supposed to meet some college frens on sat, so I thought it would be good to pop over on a Friday. Since her op and with all the time on hand during her hospital leave, my BFF has picked up an immense interest in making muffins! Being a self professed terrible cook and her hubby told her not to cook.
