glaring rays shot back all too familiar feelings of hatered for the sun of which i am cursed to experience every first morning here...
well today i kinda woke up half drunk... all tired and still exhausted...stumbled around for a while before i fell flat and succumed to the calling of the sofa and TV... i know i know... i said i wanted to excercise everyday... the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak... ahhhh... ok ill force myself to do it tmrw ok... i am just so lertagic and need a break from any form of activity...
well so after some lazing around mom and i decided to head somewhere near by to get a quick bite... we sorta decided to try out this new restaurant called TIBs situated right next to my favourite PHO24... and little did we know this new place, tibs served excellent Hue food (viet cuisine)... just some historical info... Hue was the former capital of vietnam of which the imperial family stayed and ruled from so they tend to serve one of the best, finest and most delicate form of vietnamese cuisine.... and man was it good... for the first time, i really thought the food was good... light yet flavourful...
here you can see an example of one of the dishes i had and the drink... the dish here is sort of a very thin slice of zui kueh (rice cake) served with some minced crab on the top and a nice fish sauce as the accompanyment.... next to it is not coke... that is vietnam's famous jet black iced coffee... i finally realised why i like this coffee so much... it is so strong, cold and it has a hint of rum in it... beautiful taste...
well one our walk back home i started to discuss with my mom how much i loved cooking up dishes for dinners and planning dinners... and i started to drift into the future of perhaps starting my own home "restaurant" okok i might be a bit far off... but i was thinking of maybe during the holidays when i can or when i feel like have a small restaurant at my home where i cook for a maximum of 6 people a night and it is based on reservation basis... i think it should be quite fun... so she was suggesting to me to learn some peranakan dishes from her... but honestly i really think it is possible... it dont matter how old you are in singapore... wat matters is how good your cooking is, quality of food, price and the contacts you have... haha might be too far fetch but hey maybe ill give it a try... i mean what do i have to loose right... no rental no nothing... and at most i loose on the cost of ingredients... but i doubt it would be any time soon... need to master some dishes first... probably in two years time or so when waiting to enter NS...
well after arriving back home i decided to have a quiet evening reading a book and just talkin to my mom over dinner... poor dad had a fever so he was kinda knocked out.... after which we decided to walk around the complex... well here are some photos from today... see ya...
