The Food Issue-Jun2007

It's been a long while since i've uploaded any photos on the blog. 2 weeks back i was out on my only free day - Wednesday, so was out with Ivy, Carrie and Mic for dinner. Was at Takashimay Shopping Center so decided to eat at this place called Central.

I remembered visiting this place with Weiying, Qingyao and Chien during Christmas 2005. Anyway, there seems to be a different menu here now. It should be different so that they can add more variety to their menu, and bring more customers!

Let's see what we had...

Carried had this interesting Pork dried Noodle which come in a very cute bowl. Man! I wish i can buy this bowl.

Though i'm no pork-eater, but from Carrie's comment, the noodle taste good.

Carrie gave it a ++++.

Next coming up is Ivy's dish. She order Beef noodles which comes with the gravy. Take a look at this.

Ivy has a very particular taste for stuff. Anyway, she didn't feel it's that nice and gave it a +++.

Next coming up is Mic. She ordered this Beef Horfan below.

Initial comment is that it is quite nice, but i think with the atmosphere of air that mixes with the food, it's not that nice and became a bit oily (typical of hor-fan imo). She gave it a +++.

Now, it's my stuff to come up. I had this Seafood Spagetti with XO Sauce. Looks really good.

It's very nice!!!! The rest said that it's very nice too (Yes, even Ivy who's ever fussy with food). I give it a +++++ ,Which is a perfect rating.

Comments: It's a must try!!! Ok. remember, Seafood Spagetti with XO sauce. I think it cost $8.80 per al la carte.

I ordered another drink-dessert which is this Iced Yuanyang with Red bean In case you may ask: What is Yuanyang?

YuanYang means it's a mixture of Milk Tea and Coffee, and it's not a new thing. It's quite common with HK food.

I bought this because i lurve red bean, and want to eat it. And being sleepy, this is a real good caffeine treat. Anyway, it's too Caffeiney because it's real bitter. But the red beans are generous and big - bigger than what our mothers cook for us usually. It's closer to being a kidney bean.

So this place is a good to go place. Certain foods are really good, but u must know how to select the food. Cost of each person for main course and drink is estimated to be between $12-$17.


My own cooking

I have started again to cook my own lunch and bring to office. Reason being i want to save money and ready myself for the building fund, which i dunno when it's coming (October?). Of course also to prepare myself for my indulgences. Yeah, i'm a victim of shoes and bags! Really!!! I can't walk through Bugis Street without having my roving eyes at nice shoes and bags. And i have to tell myself that

"OK, Jenna u cannot buy... you cannot buy... YOU CANNOT BUY...."

So for now i'm really laying off buying clothes and shoes and bags, for the month. This month is a month of 'red da bomb', had another colleague getting married. Hee.. how come this few months i seem to be receiving lotsa bombs..

Been eating like boiled veggies and became quite bored, so i decided to cook macroni, but a bit dry if it's just that. So i got myself spagetti sauce and this is my result.

This is my first attempt, but with the week that went by, there were improvisations such as 3 colors, and crab meat (my usual favs). I even had condiments - Hotate-aka-fried scallops!

Ok, it looked a bit chau-ta. Well, need to take care of the fire more. :)

See u all next entry... hopefully soon!!
