Gearing up for the Royal Wedding

Regent Street, London

The royal wedding is in 4 days' time and working folks like me are looking forward to having another day off.. whoop! Because of the many bank holidays dotting these 2 weeks, you could potentially take 3 days off this week, and get a whole stretch of 11 days off work! How awesome.

So apparently Regent Street is now decorated with British flags, all geared up for the Royal Wedding. The other day I was getting my groceries at Waitrose and saw that they have a special section dedicated to the wedding. You have chocolates, champagne flutes, party accessories donning the Union Jack. This is as much British Pride you can get.


K my fav Brit girl, doesn't understand the big fuss over this royal wedding. She is annoyed looking at all the hype surrounding this. Seems to me the older generation, the likes of her gran would fully appreciate things like that. She tells me her gran never misses any of the Queen's speech every year, and would be irritated if anyone says bad things about the Queen or the royal family. Hmm I guess this is the difference between a younger and older British generation. Interesting.

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'...
