TOEIC.

I had TOEIC.
It has been two years since I had previous TOEIC.

This time, I asked shiu-chan to try too.



then result came.






Whoa!!
Surprisingly my score jumped!!!

Shiu-chan, of course lah~, his major language is English wor~~~...


In Japan, they conduct test only about 10 times annually in nation wide.
Unlike Japan, you can take TOEIC almost every week overhere in Singapore!!!
Very good!!!

Pasah maram, cannot be talk about it without Ramly gurger!
(Heard that Malaysia original is much tastier)


Shiu-chan never had it before.
Is he really bone local? LOL.


We tried. My appetite disappeared after seeing how they make the burger.
I am sure calories nearly 1000 Kcal per burger...
Anyway, it is only once a blue moon kind of food...festival feeling food.




Tasted like....those burger that sold in chilled corner one.

De Cecco.

After having De Cecco pasta,
He totally love in it.

Regret that Jone's the grocer, Culina, very limited shops are selling it in Singapore.
But what a wonderful thing!
NTUC Finest sales that!! furthermore it is better quality one!






SO Shiu-chan happily bought it =)

Bottarga Pasta.

Shiu-chan cooked Bottarga Pasta, again.

This time round, he did different method from his first time.





Umm...wonder if Italian parsley was too big or so...
I think cook Bottarga and parsley through is tastier.


Nevermind! still got chance to try =)

Pizzeria Mozza

Seems like this month's theme is Italian...?


When we share some dishes, Italian can be pretty budget friendly.



We seldom go to MBS.
But today, I wanted to bring Shiu-chan for one reason.
I kept secret until the dish served to us.







Yes! this one!! Mozza Caprese!!!! Burrata cheese!!!!!
Shiu-chan start saying about Burrata cheese for quite sometime, actually we were planning to purchase online during our travel back to Japan.
But it is pretty hard to get there, then we got to know that quite number of Italian restaurants in Singapore serves Burrata cheese.

Well, we tried well loved cheese. It was unique taste and we like it too =)


I also ordered their pizza, hand stretched its crust, I love it! =D

Thin in centre part, rustic and yet chewy like a baguette in outer crust.






I hope to go there again soon!!!

Gattopardo

Relax Saturday afternoon,
We hop into Italian restaurant, 'Gattopardo'.


Know about this restaurant was when we stayed Hotel Fort Canning.
It was pretty like just opened.


Shiu-chan ordered Bottarga Pasta (Capellini alla Moresca), while I ordered Margherita.





He just cooked bottarga pasta by himself after he bought back Karasumi from Taiwan.

And he enjoyed restaurant style bottarga pasta, he wants to cook bottarga pasta again! =O
We enjoyed very basic pizza, a little bit pricey but we may wish to come back again =)

Chocolate Macaroon

I tried to mix cacao powder into macaroon mixture.


Did more manaronage to make it smoother texture too.
It turned out needed to dried up very long, like 2 hours and more.


I took 2 and half hour but still some macaroons were cracked.





Well, the taste is still not that bad!
I will try again soon =D

English Scones.

After having nice soft and fluffy Australia style scone,
Felt like trying to bake English scone.

I have no much confidence baking scones,
Especially under tropical weather.



Half way blending the butter with table knife,
I realized that I have powerful tool, called Skepper!!



So now I don't have to get pie blender to blend flour and butter.
I have great partner, Mr. Skepper=D







With his help, I could bake quite successful scones without let butter melt.
GREAT! Mr. Skepper!!!

2011.3.11

It's been a year since disaster hit my country.
It has been making plenty of people's life tough.


The day,


We will not forget what happened.
How much tears dropped.
How many support we received.
From the day, and now on.


Wish all the people who left us by the disaster rest in peace.

This month's Ouchi Cafe.

J chan and E chan visited our house =D


J chan brought scone mix and mixed berries all the way from Australia!!
So we baked it with complicated baking instruction.




Scone was done, looks totally different from English scones,
but taste is still scones!!
Furthermore, there is no butter added.
Scones are soft and fluffy, reminds me of my favourite KFC hot biscuit!!!


We also baked macaroons,
I also suggested cream cheese filling for macaroons.





We had nice relaxing cafe time and chit chat =)


Thank them for coming to our house and sharing their time.

Supper on ANA

This is low calorie supper on board ANA from SG to Haneda.






Presentation is better than SQ's...
Seriously!!


I think I consider taking ANA more often...
Seriously!!!

Dreamliner

This time round, we took ANA first time to fly back to Japan due to our super tight schedule.
It was supposed just rushing flight but in the end, it turned out to very very wonderful flight ever.
We took flight from Singapore to Haneda, then transit to domestic to Hiroshima.

Haneda to Hiroshima, we were lucky that we took B787 Dreamliner!!



In front is 2nd fleet we took. behind is normal colouring.


Officially start flying sky not so long yet,
and only a few flights are launched in domestic flights, surprisingly, Haneda - Hiroshima is one of first launching destination.


We were so excited when we saw it at Haneda airport, even excited during the short flight back to Hiroshima.


We took 2nd B787 fleet, only this 2nd and 1st has special colouring on its body.
Not only that, these are designed for international and only flying domestic sky limited period.

Specially designed RR engine sounds were different sounds as other engines, flight was all the way excellently smooth.



I love its unique wings, really nice.


I felt like really comfortable flying.






We totally loved at first sight and loved again in 2nd sight after taking B787 flight.



I don't mind flying back to Japan just to take B787...haha.
I really feel great that this world-collaboration fleet.


After taking ANA flights, I found it is pretty pleasant flight taking ANA.
I might take ANA more often than SIA.

Shot gun trip.

Went back Japan for attending my very respecting friend's wedding.

It was really a shortest trip ever in my life!
Reached to my hometown in Saturday(Today) morning, attend wedding ceremony and reception, then return to Singapore in the evening.
Yeah, we were just there for about 8 hours.



But it was really a such meaningful, cannot be exchanged with anything, very nice happiest moment.







Thank you for inviting us to their wedding,
congratulation and blessing for them!! =D
