Last week...

I made chicken buns from scratch!

Thanks to the bread machine for kneading the dough :)

They were yummy even for a first-timer.

Next up, claypot chicken rice!

Very easy to make. Lots of dried shrimps but still lacking salted fish.

And just now, Rui pan-fried these salmon fillets. YUM!

The skin is always the best.

Dinner and tomorrow's lunch - curry chicken with rice! Can't wait.

We were waken up by Charlene's call -- they were already parking their car and waiting for us at the restaurant. So we quickly prepared and went to Big Gun Chinese restaurant for dimsum. It was, undoubtedly, better than Landmark, so in my humble opinion, it has reigned as the best yumcha place in Brisbane.

Rui finally allowed me to get the XBox console with Kinect after I kept pestering him about Dance Central. Didn't get the price match at the JB HiFi near us because they didn't have Kinect Joy Ride but finally got it at Macgregor. *Happy* Also got the Dance Central game. DC2 is on my wishlist :) Played DC1 for three hours straight!!! Very good way of reducing weight!

Team Autobots

We went to watch Transformers 3 at Garden City after work today and it was mind-blowingly awesome. Rui's colleagues thought that he forced me to watch it as a payback because I dragged him to watch Twilight with me, but I went in my own will! I love transformers, practically grew up with the cartoon, don't think bumble bee was as famous as optimus prime back then. Jake knows all of their names and he has a huge optimus prime transformer toy at home. That new actress looks so much alike Megan Fox!

Anyway, busy weekend is ahead. Having dinner with Michelle tomorrow night at her house, Goan food! Yummm. Then having lunch at Charlene and Benson's new house, her mother-in-law's cooking! :D

Kuih Malas for Lazy People Like Me

Made kuih malas (aka cucur udang or prawn fritters in English) from scratch because Rui requested for it.

Didn't know that it was so easy to make!
Mummy normally makes this but she's not here at the moment :(

The outcome

Best eaten with sweet chilli.
Mae Ploy's really good :)

Ice!

This gloomy and cold Sunday morning, Rui gave me two options on where I wanted to go today. Option 1: Seaworld. Option 2: the City. Both had its pros and cons but we opted for the second choice because it was nearer and I was afraid that the ice skating rink would be gone before we even get the chance to see it. It snowed bubbles too!

It costs $20 per person to skate for 45 minutes and $7 for skate hire. -_-''

I guess it's just not our kind of weather to preserve ice in its original form. It was melting before our eyes :P Just like the one in Sunway Pyramid.

Food

Bought two huge live mud crabs for $60. Rui made chili crab and just boiled the other.

Goldsteins pies at Pacific Fair... blegh.

Sunday brunch with Charlene and Benson at DaeJangKum in Sunnybank

Tried cooking this because I was craving for chicken's feet with mushroom and it turned out the same when cooked with chicken thighs. I'm so happy to have learnt how to use star anise!

Weekend

Hello! Long time no see! Fnally having a breather because the weekend is here... *phew* ... It has been a long week and I kinda liked it. Heading down to Gold Coast soon to meet up with a friend, at the same time, I can do some winter shopping! Dreamt of Jake and Riley and Nana last night. Hmmm, I must be missing them very much :)

We've started playing DotA again. Need to brush up on our skills because the two of us couldn't even win against five normal AI bots. Tsk tsk tsk...

Having aches and pain all over, suddenly feel too old to be partying :/ ...
