My Apple Tree...?

As my Red Chili Pepper ripens, it resembles a mini Apple tree!

Am gazing at it fondly, both at its red and green 'Apples'. It is beautiful in my sight.

Still, i've been industriously trying to keep the whiteflies at bay by spraying the underside of the leaves with water in the evening time.

Hope this little effort might at least keep my plants alive, awhile more.

Snow Frost - Cheeky Chimp!

Been planning to return for the Snow Frost Dessert in NTU Canteen 2 this whole week :)

And this is what come after Red Velvet we had last fortnight - Cheeky Chimp!

Cheeky Chimp ($3)

Milk Frost Ice topped with sweet Banana, sprinkled of Chocolate Rice & Dark Chocolate Sauce.

The layers of Milk Ice, piled high in a bowl, are served with toppings that runneth over!

It amazes me how simple, humble ingredients like Banana and Chocolate could create 'that' Chemistry. It's a forever Classic combination!

Si Chuan Cuisine, 川馆子

The notorious soar in car parking charges, traffic jams and road closure amid the yearly F1 racing event this weekend kept us away from town.

We choose instead dining at inconspicuous NTU, Canteen 2.

担担面，Dan Dan Noodle ($2.50)

There's no lack of China-styled cooking in the NTU campus! And this was dues to the populous China student community here!

Giving a try on this rather popular Si Chuan food stall tonite. You can sure be convinced of the China influence in Singapore.

Revelation of the beautiful color texture after a good toss with the Meat Sauce. It's a flavorful bowlful of Chinese handmade noodles...

Be back for more of its Noodle varieties and Chinese Dumplings.

My Acer EMachines!

Looking cool, my new slim Acer EMachine sitting on my tiny computer desk :)

Doing away with the option of purchasing the more pricey multi-touchscreen model, mine is the all-in-one desktop PC, Model EZ1600 of rather satisfactory Specifications.

Having been used to Ric's Fujitsu Laptop, the EZ1600's 18.5 inches screen seems an oversize for me, but definitely deserving for my Movies playing.

And as with all Built-in Speakers, these of EZ1601 were really not commendable. Reaction speed seems to be compromising too when i opened up Windows or Videos; its display capacity needs some upgrading. These being my only grouses of this beautiful baby.

The setup of the hardware was a piece of cake (i did it myself!). Ric helping me with more software installation tomorrow ;)

This machine; another gift from caring Ric.

Tuna Onion Salad Sandwich!

Ric having a day off from me as he needs to do Spring Cleaning around his house.

I'm therefore spending a leisure day around Mom; going to the supermart, buying things needed for dinner and making her favorite tuna sandwich - her new found fave snacks.
 
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
2 Cans Tuna Chunks - drained (plain flavored in brine preferred)
2 finely chopped Onions
Handful - Pepper Mint Leaves


Mix Tuna with Mayonnaise, Onions and Mint leaves; adding a little more Mayonnaise if you like it moist and creamy.

The Mint leaves are a substitution for lemon juice that we usually add in to zest up this fish salad. But mint is good, an even better alternative.


After a good mix, this bowlful will be covered and refrigerated - you could then have it at any time of the day. Try finishing all up within 2 days to retain freshness of food.


Over Lettuce or Cucumber and Tomato slices; it's a wonderful piece of tasty snack! A good serve up for Mom's constant hunger pangs these days. And i've always love preparing this sandwich for family or packing it for friends.

Chocolaty Bailey's Cream

The lightly alcohol Bailey of just 17% drove us high, much higher than Gin does as we drank thirstily of this tastily sweet concoct.

Such is the threat of sweet alcoholic drinks; you drink fast and much, getting a sudden wipe out before you can even see it coming.

Ingredients
100ml Bailey's Irish Cream
100ml Chocolate Milk

Instructions
Mix Chocolate Milk and Bailey's Irish Cream.
Pour over ice in a rocks glass.

Ric had a slight hangover; i retired early and slept soundly till the next morning; the morning after Hari Raya Puasa :)

Hahaha... talk about a Milk drink that could actually knock us out.
Do try this delicious mix.
