Long weekends are always great!! But when it comes to Sunday night.... the 'don't wish to go office' mood is switched on once again without fail.
Good Friday was a day I would say that it was quite well spent.
Steamboat dinner organized at Meow's home.
Thanks to Ah Siao and Ash for their help. Or else I guess I would be dead tired with all the preparations. Lol...
Woke up 'late', about 930am and had to rush to do marketing at the Serangoon interchange area. With Siao and Ash waiting for us there as well.
Bought loads of stuff...
One whole big plastic bag of vegetables and mushrooms and tofu worth only $15.
One whole chicken for boiling of stock and chicken thigh for only $6.70.
One pack of pork slices for $2.
Loads of fishballs, quail eggs and other yong tou foo items for only $16.70.
Then we headed home and start cleaning up the chicken, marinating the meat and cutting up all the veggies. And starting boiling the steamboat stock base with the whole chicken with garlic-s and ikan bilis. *Slurp*
Then we head headed to Compass Point for our lunch at Sakae Sushi and next, Cold Storage.
Got more food.
Shabu Shabu pork slices, Sukiyaki beef slices and fishy fishy... lol...
Corns and bottled drinks AND!!
Not forgetting, 'Ben & Jerry' ICE-CREAM!!
Eveything added up to more than $80 buck man!!! *Faintz~!*
Back home again.... transferred the 1st round of stock to another pot and added the rest of the carrots, tomatos and white cabbage stems and bring it to simmer again. *Wootz* Sweetness~~!!
Next was awaiting for the arrival of the 'red-legged' prawns which my biker friend promised.... Waited till like 6+pm till I was almost so disappointed... But he finally made it!!!
So here are the pictures!!
Look at the huge prawns!! Almost the size of Ash's palms:-
'Red-legged' prawns lining up:-
Tada~~~!!! The whole feast me and Ash prepared for almost the whole morning and afternoon:-
Preparation is more tiring than cooking man...
Now I still have leftover food in the fridge... But had eating home-cooked food, prepare by myself.
Cooking is not that difficult... but need to experiment, experiment, experiment!!
Sunday
And invited Winnie and ZW over for lunch.
And it was 'thumps-up' for my sesame chicken with potato. Keke.... Nice one lor.... keke...
Too bad got no picture of it.
After then, we headed to Winnie's new home which she only just received the keys.
IT'S SO SMALL!!! Everything is so not spacious... lol... Can't even put much things man!!
We then headed to Hougang 'Goh Ah Bee', to find the electrical appliances store to be closed. So we went down to Katong 'Mega discount store' & 'Casa Italy'... OMG!!!
All the appliances and furniture needed in future would be more than $15k... Ahhh!!!
Renovation... haiz.... more than $25k....
MUST SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!
Lastly!
My newly re-vamped laptop with a Mario theme surface done by Ah Siao as a trial and for practicing his hand-done engraving skills. It's gonna be a side line for him. If you find it nice and wanna do it, I can help you ask him.
'Thumps-up' I would say!!
Ok... that's about all...
GTG!! Tata!!
