Brunch @ Home
hubby didn't hv to work today so i made us some brunch. poached eggs, grilled portobello mushroom, bacon & EVOO balsamic lemon & herb-tossed baby butterhead lettuce. meant to buy baby spinach but the supermarket ran out of it.
everything is so yummy, especially the poached eggs! i used the cling film method so there was no need for vinegar, requires zero skills and u won't taste water in yr eggs. perfect :)
i also made some coffee, with lotsa foam! i used my immersion hand blender to do this, and it really resembles the ones made with good coffee machines. i did the same for macha latte and it tasted almost like the starbucks green tea latte! now i can save lotsa money yet hv similar tasting coffee at home ;) love mine with a generous dash of cinnamon & nutmeg.
♥ brunch @ home with hubby. i think i hv a really nice & comfortable home, so there's no need to go out & eat :D pardon the ugly pics tho', u can't really take your time when u hv to feed a hungry man! there's gonna be a part two, coz i'm gonna make us some pancakes with banana, walnut & maple syrup. one of my past issues of donna hay magazine has some fab brunch ideas, so i will use some recipes from there :)Labels: breakfast, main courses

My Obsession With French Macarons
it must hv been close to 3 years since i first started making macarons and i think i've come a long way *chuckles* i experimented with countless flavors, including some really quirky ones like pandan & durian...ewww. i think my personal favorites and the best i've made must be lychee rose & caramel fleur de sel, tho' of coz my customers and friends who tried may beg to differ :D
good 2b able to do something, and then do it well. its definitely a sense of achievement for me, and a nice feeling when i feel i'm synonymous with the macarons i make. whenever i meet ppl at outings and they go "oh, so you're that macaron girl" - seriously, that never fail to put a smile on my face :)
cheers to more macaron making, and flavor experimenting!Labels: french macarons, musings

PS. Cafe @ Harding
not too long ago, i went to ps. cafe. despite its bad reviews screaming "lousy food, not worth the price" or "standard dropped", it didn't stop me from going. i'm like that i guess. when curiosity strikes, its hard to ignore.
the moment i stepped in, rows & rows of gigantic cakes and magazines greeted me. feeling is nothing short of elation.
i took some pics...
and then somemore.
for a start, we had the root beer float.
and the iced mocha.
and since it was a weekend, we were offered the brunch menu. we had the portobello stack. 2 poached eggs, bacon, wilted spinach, portobello mushroom, tomatoes. it wasn't fantastic, but was acceptable.
steamed ginger pudding with earl grey anglaise & vanilla bean ice cream. it was FREAKIN' GOOD. i swear. much better than marmalade pantry's sticky date toffee pudding. THIS, is what i think a pudding should be. dense, yet not quite. real lovely.
and what's a trip to ps. cafe without ordering their famous double choc blackout cake? very chocolatey, very dense, and it made us very full. not my type of cake, but it might be yours :)
prices were long forgotten, receipt long thrown out (hence no prices written) but memories stay.
ps., i love you.
i don't know why i just feel like blogging this way today. no factual information, but just the way i like it.
i'm tired, of everything.

Diana Krall - Walk On By
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop) Labels: musings
