Korean feast

Went to Jang Shou Korean Charcoal BBQ with my colleague, Noi for lunch yesterday. This korean restaurant is located at the Esplanade Mall and she is the one who introduced me to this place last year. I had BBQ the first time round thus we decided to try their beef stew. Service was good and fast. The manager was friendly and attended to our needs promptly. The stew was made of bean stock, with slices of tender beef mixed with vegetables and tofu. The soup was delicious and very 'kai wei', especially eaten with rice. It was a little spicy though but was just nice for my liking.

Beef stew

The manager recommended us their seafood pancake which was up to our expectation too. Verytasty. Coupled with all the cold dishes, me and noi were bloated but had a very satisfying lunch. We had Plum tea on the house after the meal to refresh our stomach from all that oilness and the manager gave us coffee before we left too. A very nice gesture of him.

Had a busy day in office and waited for Lionel to go to the Indoor Stadium to watch the Singapore Slingers. My boss had free tickets and gave 2 to me. As he was very busy with work, i went for a haircut somewhere near my office while waiting for him. He finished quite late and we decided to give the match a miss as we were tired and just wanted to have a nice dinner and head for home.

I think i must be mad for korean food that day as i brought him to the same korean place i went for lunch. As it was too good, i sweared i must let him try the food. We had BBQ charcoal and ordered beef and pork. It was cooked just right and the tender beef slice just melt in my mouth. There are also vegetables where you can wrap the meet, chilli and garlic and pop into your mouth.

The best authenic korean food i eaten so far and i strongly recommend to everyone. Prices are a little steep though but definitely worth for the money. There is still the cold noodles which i haven't got to try and i believe it is good too.
Had a stroll after the meal and went home shortly.
A very satisfying day!

Bake Time

Me and Lionel woke up quite early last Sunday and I suddenly had the craving to get some recipes and bake cakes! I searched online for some receipes and decided to do the simpliest of all. Brownie! Started our session with a BOMB. As my hse oven hasn't been turned on for months, we tried all ways to get it started again when the fire suddenly exploded and we got a shock of our life. Luckily no one was hurt lol..although Lionel had some of his hand's hair burnt off. We mix the flour, eggs and oil and poured the mixture into the pan and after 40 mins, TADA! Our first cake was done! Not so nice looking though. A very simple and easy dish for a start. Would try out the harder ones next time. A fun day!

Sweet Thoughts

I received a bouquet of flowers yesterday and was shocked! A dozen of roses with words 'I miss you' on each of the petals. Very touched and happy. Lionel sent it to me as he was very busy this week and could not meet me. How sweet of him! Thanks dearie.

Lately was very busy with work as we had new agents coming in and there are lots preparation for them. Our driver was sacked and I had to interview new drivers, scanning and filtering out the process for my boss. Some politics in my office as reflected especially among the young ladies. Backstabbing, badmouthing, curry favouring. As I am on the neutral side, I just listen to all sides of the stories. Very interesting indeed. Meanwhile, work is piling up and I am trying to slowly clear my work. As this is the last quarter of the year, my boss is rushing for production and naturally I am busy as well.

No matter how busy with work, i managed to catch up with my uni friends last week at Minds Cafe for games and dinner. A generally very nice gathering and we are planning for more sports activities in the future. Also met up with Junwen and Crystal today at Fish&Co, realised from JW that being a teacher is not easy, she seems very stressed! Also not forgetting, MJ as usual every week without fail.

Krabi trip next week. Looking forward to it. Sometimes just need that little bit of time to relax and recharge everything. Yay!
