Picnic again!

Our picnic double date at Sentosa again!

potatoes salad by me!

Fried chicken and 'bee hoon' by them! Looking at this 'bee hoon' pic makes me miss the 'tang hoon' cooked by my ah ma! That's one of my favorite dish, maybe i shall go 'tuo shi'. hehe But maybe not. Whenever my grandma knows i am going to visit, she will ask what i wanna eat. She will try her best to cook what i like and it makes her happy whenever we appreciate her cooking. I guess it feels like her effort to cook is paid off? She knows I love her 'tang hoon' and it makes her feel that this particular dish that we 'do not know how to cook' makes her feel significant (ah ma's signature dish!). I like to keep it that way!
Just like how i don't do household chores to make my parents feel significant. HAHAHA! OK! I admit, main reason that i don't do is cuz i am as lazy as worm (i prefer snuggling in bed)!

Mushroom n chick made by me (bf did a tiny bit of the work tho)! ahem... pardon that foot.

oily face and hair after the cooking =(

BOO!

bf looks cute here!

If you realized, it was too early to play with fireworks. hahaha!

Hello!

Hello! I am back! Wondering if anyone missing my update already? hehe Was a little too lazy to update this little space of mine lately! =X
Had a date w dearie once in a while! Fooding session at some part of Clarke quay i think???? As usual i forgot about the restaurant name again!

My over-exposed pomelo salad

my 2nd time having escargot! Needa get rid of the 'i-am-eating-snail' thought, and i am getting more fond of it!!!! Did a search on escargot nutritional value and this is wad i got:

Food Value

A 1-oz. measure of escargot, before preparation, weighs around 28 g, according to the USDA Nutrient Database. Proteins make up about 5 g within this measure. There is only 1 g of carbohydrates and no significant quantities of fats in escargot. The remainder is indigestible components, other nutrients and water. One oz. of escargot meat contains a total of 25 calories. Proteins provide over 18 of those calories. Carbohydrates and fats both deliver 3.5 calories each. A 1-oz. serving of escargot adds 1 percent to the daily intake of calories for the average adult.

Benefits

Escargot contains some vitamins and minerals. The most substantial amount is of vitamin E. A 1-oz. serving contains 1.4 mg or 11 percent of the daily recommended intake of the vitamin. Lesser amounts include riboflavin, niacin, and vitamins A, B6 and B12. The same 1-oz. serving of escargot also adds several essential minerals to the diet. Snail meat is particularly high in magnesium at 70 mg or almost 20 percent, and selenium at 7.7 mcg or 14 percent of the daily requirement. Smaller quantities of other minerals, including phosphorus at 76 mg, copper at 100 mcg or 10 percent, and iron at 1 mg or 8 percent. Trace amounts of other minerals include potassium, sodium and zinc.
