我的天堂 - 任天堂

Finally, I got my new toy - Nintendo WII. I've been thinking to buy it for so long actually. We brought back a set for a friend during Chinese New Year. That time, I already tempted to buy but still as usual, I am still hovering around and indecisive. Yesterday, we were back to the IT mall to exchange a default Nintendo WII gun which also bought earlier on for my godson. Ha, this time, we got back a set for our own. Even though Chew Chin didn't say any specific reason to get me a set but I guess this should be the Valentine's gift. Thank you so much. Hopefully I won't be playing until forget to cook for him. Maybe one of the reasons he bought for me because I can stay put at home and do less shopping. Nevermind, now this is my new heaven, 任天堂.

Little Hot Pot - 新色煮艺

和朋友约了好几次吃火锅,都不成,今天终于如愿以尝。 午餐,我们去了一家名叫 "新色煮艺" 的中国时尚火锅, 靠近蒲东八百伴。 一进去餐馆, 哦, 好暗。。。 餐馆的布置一片漆黑, 屋顶及地上都黑灰色, 桌布也用黑色。 每一桌都有一盏吊灯,每桌的隔离窗帘是一条条的红色线. 真的好时尚! 中国吃火锅通常都会一人一锅, 这样比较卫生, 也可以吃自己喜欢的锅底口味. 我们各自叫了,新色鲜辣锅(精选优质新鲜辣椒与秘制香油精心熬制而成), 真的不是开玩笑的辣, 新色醉美锅 (绍兴陈年花雕与海鲜融合熬制), 气蒸大骨汤锅。它们也有极品鳄鱼锅(没胆量试),马来肉骨茶锅(没信心试)。
配菜呢,叫了牛肉,羊肉,梅花鹿肉, 精品鱼虾丸,各类菇,娃娃菜及茼茴菜。看一看照片就明白。其中的虾丸是巧克力夹心。。。 巧克力还是当 dessert 好!

吃了这一餐, 晚餐也省下了。这家火锅都不太便宜,应该是火锅的 fine dine,每人消费,RMB100, 不过也吃的精致。食物排的美美,看了开心,吃了也开心。哦忘了,我们有一杯免费酸酸甜甜的洛阳神花茶来开胃。

I hate to eat alone !

Chew Chin always come home late and the "late" usually will be like after 10, thus I always eat by myself after I cook. My dinner companion at home usually be the TV or the laptop. 3 meals a day with them. I feel so pathetic.

Today is my vege day and I cooked 3 dishes. I am eating dinner while blogging... goshhh.... Not sure when will I go crazy by looking at the four walls and laptop most of the time :~(.

百福自庄严,大愿悉成满 - 静安寺

今天我去了静安寺站(地铁二号线)逛逛。那边有名店,久光百货及闻名的静安寺。 到了上海两个月,第一次拜访这里的庙。哦,发觉春节祈福入门票,RMB50, 哇赛!我听说中国的寺庙都要付入门票, 不知道那么贵。你看照片,就知道不愿付钱的我,只在外徘徊。。。 (怪不得,我早不到工,因为我不拜这里的佛脚)
回家 google 了一下, 才知道寺内藏有八大山人名画、文征明真迹《琵琶行》行草长卷及南宋淳熙十年(公元1183年)光宗赵当太子时为学士钱良臣所题“云汉照国之阁”石刻等珍贵文物。。。。 有大雄宝殿、天王殿、三圣殿。。。 最重要的是,平常的入门票是 RMB20。不用紧,来日方长。

清淡也开心

回家乡,差不多每餐都是大鱼大肉,三珍海味。其实我们只是想吃路边的炒馃条,经济米粉, mamak的香蕉叶饭,印度煎饼,没办法啦,过年就是这样。 回到上海,这两天都吃得很清淡,想清一清肚子。昨天不小心把饭煮到太软,太湿, 哈哈,sumimaseh(还得煮过)....... 今天就变成了我家大少爷的早餐和我的午餐,加点水煮一煮, 开个菜心,加个花生,榨菜,sambal虾米, 肯定可以再来一碗。

Steam Potato - 烤地瓜

In a cold winter, the most ideal food is something hot and warm like THIS. Too bad my camera is not professional enough to capture the hot steam flow out from the potato or I am too dumb with my skills. Yes, I am it eating with sugar :) hehe and tonight Chew Chin will hear me keep "boop boop boop".
