It was pandemonium with lots of shoppers pushing around, trying to get good deals ahead of others. I guess the main attraction would probably be free samples for the food being sold there. Well, people just couldnt resist cheap deals. Well, so did I...*blush* Part of the fun was sampling the food, anyway. But I'm not as greedy as some. Who took and took the pretty expensive scallops once the samples were out.
Yucky fish roe...*urgh*
Rice seasoning. Nice, but expensive.
The crowd. Its maddness!
I Q-ed and bought this: Doreamon's favorite! The manju(i think this is what its called) smelled heavenly when freshly baked that makes you feel the 20mins Q for it was worth it. The red bean filling wasnt as sweet as I'd expected it to be in the first place. One word: YYYUUUUUMMMMYYYYY!!! :)
Needless to say I was quite irritated at the end with all the jostling and pushing around of the shoppers. We visited all the stalls, Q-ed for the snacks and off we went to shop around TM.
Things to buy: - New purse, with artwork by Jimmyspa - Swimsuit - Goggles
Have been indulging on myself rather sinfully and expensively yesterday...
Lunch @ Rocky's Master, Marina Square Yummy smoked chicken sandwich that I was unfortunately unable to enjoy thoroughly - due to my ulcer on my tongue. :( Nevertheless, the cafe setup is just the kind I like : quiet with few customers even during office hours and cosy armchairs to snuggle in.(^_^)
Evening, Shopping @ MNG followed by light snack at japanese restaurent(name forgotten because it was totally unpronoucible)... Forgotten the names of the two dessert we ordered but both were equally good! The ice cream with hotballs(that's what written on the menu!) was a unique but clever combination. Warm hotball with cold vanilla ice-cream. The red bean paste was rather sweet near the end thou.
Another unique combination of bland greentea ice-cream with the sweet red bean paste. The taste just even out somehow, making this dessert tastes great!
Although I'm ok with the calories consumed, my purse isnt! Time to hold on to my purse reins till the next payday!
Finally back to blogging after a hiatus of almost 3 mths! Not much to blog about but it just feels great to be typing down my thoughts.
Okie, I guess if it wasnt Jimmy, I wouldnt have been bloggin anymore..:D
One of my litle projects during my 2-mths plus hiatus:
Yes, allow me to say I'm so proud of myself to complete a reverse sushi (right, I forgot the complicated Japanese name of it..). *beams*
Ok, the fact is, I did the sushi halfway...and someone completed the rolling and slicing for me. Well, I'm no Cooking Mama in real life!
Gosh, where exactly did these 3mths went to?? Gotta do an interim review on my resolutions on my next post - to see what exactly did I complete. I do have a feeling I didnt complete much..but then..there's still 6 mths left of 2008 to catch up and complete!
Call me crazy but I'm so absolutely in LOUVE with Pucca!! No, its not the cartoon gal who is always spot wearing a red suit but Pucca the biscult snack! *beams*
Crunchy baked biscult exterior shaped like a fish. There are even 3 different type of tails, if anyone had cared to notice. :) The filling, of course, is something else for me to rave about. The chocolate filling isnt too sweet, swinging a lit bit to the bitter side. As for strawberry...well, I guess I had like chocolate too much.
And just when you feel that chocolate and strawberry filled Pucca are just too boring, new fillings come up to the market. Limited edition too, mind you. So grab them while you can.
Tried quite a few....like the double chocolate, new york cheese cake and the most recently creamy vanilla. What can I say except...Tasty! (^_^)
