Wrapping up Project LPRB


Time flies and it's been a full two weeks since the girlies arrived at my place and the last two days were spent lala-ing in London, where they slept till 11am and leaving my place almost close to lunch time. "Slow pace", they assured me. I am well convinced!


Superwomen?!; Their fave nutella "gao-gao" (thick) crepe from Covent Garden! Their second go at it.

Wednesday night, I suggested dinner at the famous fatty duck at Four Seasons and well well.... Cin & Zhu loved it soooo much. Four thumbs up from them! We ate so much and had such a satisfied look when we emerged from the restaurant. Chinese food - still the best! haha



look at how happy Cin is!
Definition of bliss.

Thursday night we just decided to chill out at home; cooking our own dinner and Cindy making her version of Sangria.



Friday night again, they voted to have a slow and easy night and as it was raining, I voted for my ah ma's chicken porridge, plus some pan fried salmon to go along and finish up the mushrooms in my fridge. And wrapping it up with our remaining Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the fridge! (Thanks girls, for helping us finish it!)

Saturday, the last day before they head home... woohoo weather was sunny and we went for a picnic at Greenwich Park. Yes my third time there but we still love it! Firstly, it is the hugest park near our place, and secondly other huge parks like Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens are further and bound to be twice or even three times as crowded compared to low-key Greenwich Park. Cynthia prepared sandwiches while I made french toast in the morning. We also brought strawberries, blueberries, chips & a bottle of orange juice = Happiness.

Time to bid farewell to the girls.. *sob sob* I went with them to Heathrow Airport in the evening.. well, it's just a temporal good-bye coz I will be seeing them in about 4 months' time! But still sad lah.. suddenly our apartment became quiet again.

Miss them all already!

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV.  It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course.  I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady.  She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing.  Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26.  (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?)  On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event.  It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to.  I love my grandma but ...

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...
