golden dragon

yeah....back once again with a brand new food...hehe (hope marsha will drool at the sight of these )

okay, so this dish is called the golden dragon, if im not mistaken, and yeah like all other sushi it consist of rice, but instead of just being neatly wrapped up in seaweed, it was wrapped up with mangoes....=) those yellow top was the freshly sliced and arranged mangoes, to give a more delicious and delicate texture to the sushi. oppss...sorry, but i cant really remember the inside of the sushi, but anyway, i remember there's some fried prawn and cucumber in it, if i didnt remembered correctly, and last but not least the presentation of the food is just superb, with prawn head and tail...=) it was overall a good delicacies and i even called for a second plate. =)

and the next dish, the one in cubic shape, is the fried-beancurd- with-chilly that i ate at Thai Express, Paragon. =) the beancurd is soft and in addition to the thick spicy sauce, it will be even more delicious if you eat it with rice....=) white rice in particular so that you can have the whole thick taste of it....be ready to get your tongue burnt by it's spiciness which i bet will be worth it even to the tip of your throat....=)

feel hot? haha coconut jelly is the BEST!!!

Yeah people this is the coconut jelly that my aunt bought from God knows where, hehe because she didnt tell me where she bought it. however, that particular information could be updated later, anyway, this coconut jelly is so refreshing for sure in a way that it is sweet and chewy. best to serve t cold. yeah, and this is also the first time i ate it, but it is so nice that i care for the next round. basically it is stored in a coconut sheel like the picture at the bottom. and than, unlike the coconut drink that we normally drink in Indonesia, where the coconut pulp ( is it?) is like floating in the shell, because some of it was already being carved out by the chef. or like normal coconut drink where the meat of the coconut is at the side, this one, the coconut is in the form of jelly, like the picture at the top. and to eat it, with family, hehe you just have to mix with cold water and ice so as to make it even more cool and refreshing to be eaten. and ya, yang pasti enak deh...hehe should try it when u have the chance. ( apa lagi si marcia ) hehe lo pasti suka deh...=9

Taste of the 'Dragon'

Once again i bring to you our chinese favourite from Shanghai. This cute-creatively bun is called 'Xiao Long Bao' you can find this in any chinese restaurant, but the most famously known for this particular cuisine is at 'Crystal Jade' Restaurant at Takashimaya level5, or even at Toa Payoh Central, if i am not mistaken...as the restaurant has many branch, take note that u have to go to the crystal jade kitchen/ la mien to try this on.

this is my most favourite chinese food...i can eat 10 or more of it...it contains pork meat inside with salted soup. therefore, as this food is kind of unique hehe, be careful as u take ur first bite. Bite a little hole on its smooth skin first, and slowly suck the hot soup inside/ slowly pour it into ur spoon. BE CAREFUL IT CAN SCALD UR TONGUE!!! and to add more yummy taste to it, hehe best is to dip it with vinegar...the best combination...everytime i eat this, i feel like taking for another one...hehe so, hope u enjoy it too...

*you can also try on the one at Nanxiang restaurant. it was filled with pieces of crab meat, which make it even more luxurious....hahaha

Sweet treats =9

Once again, welcoming the sweet treats from Takashimaya bakeries. The cheese cake on the left, really gives one the taste of heaven =9. my sister bought it at the Rive bakery at Takashimaya Basement 2 level, at the food court area. the texture of the cheese cake was just so moist and creamy-cheesy at the same time that it made me care to have another bite!!!! =9 besides that, the price was not so hair raising either. =) for the cheese cake i rate it as 9/10.

there are still other cheesecake available at the other bakeries like Bread Talk, St Leaven, and Bakerzins. oh btw, bakerzins oreo cheese cake is marvelous. =9

On the other hand, the chocolate classic on the right is undefeatable too....with its layers of chocolate texture, and melted chocolate on the top, it really is delicious. though perhaps not as yummy as the cheese cake. But it is still worth a try...and this chocolate cake i bought at the St Leaven's bakery. Other nice chocolate cakes to try on, will be "The Coffee Beans" thousand layers cake and of course not forgetting the chicago cheesecake as well...=9

wuhhh with all these heavenly delicacies in store,are you sure you want to slim down people? lol lol lol....so u know what, my advise: " pss...eat all while you can...and exercise it all later...so long as you watch your diet, a piece of cake is okay..." hahahaha XD

arghhh.....eating is just the best thing in life and that's why just like the blog title, we only live to eat.....lol lol lol =D EATING ROX!!!! ergghhhh....=)

ohh before i left, the strawberry shortcake at Rive bakery or Daimaru is also nice, thus quickly made a reservation for your next birthday cake/ valentine's/ Anniversaries/ Relative's birthday/ boyfriend's/ girlfriend's birthday whatever that got to do with cake A.S.A.P ( as soon as possible) while stock last!!!!! =)

take care and God bless...muach

sweet delicacies

yep yep yep this is one of asia's sweet delicacies. it is a glutinious rice with peanuts sprinkled on top of it. this dessert i ate just a few days ago with my family at Tung Lok Restaurant, at Clarke Quay, central.

it is very very nice. just like the image of it lol

it's soft texture and yummy filling of the black sesame (and the taste of the chinese tea as the company ) really makes one feels like "home."

get ready to be mesmerised by the soft texture as it melts in your tongue hehe

rating for the day: 81/2/ 10 =9

Tropical

What could be better than drinking coconut from the its shell directly on a beach? One of the best thing to live in a tropical country is that you can drink fresh coconut every single day if you wish to. It really made my day, the juice is sweet and refreshing and the flesh is yummy. I don't really know how to describe, so you have to go and try it out yourself. ^_^

Japan ---experience!!!

Ok, this is what I ate on Sunday. This is Sushi-Tei in Senayan City. The first picture is just an assortment of sashimi slice and the second picture is an otoro. For those of you who does not know what an otoro is, it is the best and fattiest part of tuna, and it is the most expensive one. Some might like it, some may not. Like my mum, she dislike it because it is too soft. Well, it's all fat! What can you expect. Anyway, I like it a lot. Not the best quality, but just enough to experience what an otoro is. When I put the slice in my mouth, it sort of 'melts' and I can really feel all the fat tingling in my tounge. I'd love to try it again, but *ahem* it will definitely 'melt' my wallet too. Then the third picture is hiyashi chuka. It is just a cold noodle with all sorts of topping, but it was not as good as the one I had in 'Sakana' (the next time I go there, I'll give a full review). Overall, it was a really nice dinner, but the one that made my day is definitely the otoro.

Roti Bakar...Roti Bakar!!!

yeah!!!! once again welcome our home town yummy!!! hehe this is my favourite delicacies of all time every time i went back to Indonesia, Jakarta. Basically it is toasted bread with grated cheese and chocolate rice. One can find this in any Indonesian Cafe. This picture is taken in Betawi Cafe at Pacific Place near Kuningan in Indonesia.

Lol...even at the thought of it makes me want to head home and eat it....ohh btw, hehe the price is also worth the taste. it is not so costly...=p

so, everyone, hope u enjoy it.
