Sweet Food to Combat Monday Blues

I went to work with monday blues last week (hmm.. it's every week to be exact, but last week blues was real bad ) I pulled through the day with the the kind offer from my colleague. She baked pastry and brought it to the office and i have extra goodie besides the quiche everyone else had. =P I like the Cream Horn because the pastry flakes were very crispy and filling tasted just nice - the sweetness was just right.

Then after work, I met with up a fren to go for Ice cream. Ice cream is happy food! And i did feel better after the Ice cream. The ice cream palour I went to is a newly opened franchise from Australia - Cold Rock. You can mix your ice cream of different flvours/ toppings. I had Macademia with Mango Ice cream mixed into Violet crumble and Strawberry. Odd combi it may seems but it's quite tasty at the end of the day:

They have a wide variety of toppings for you to mix into. And even before you step into the ice cream palour, you can smell something very sweet. My friend and I concluded it's the smell of the bubblegum flavour ice cream. I haven't try it yet. Perhaps you should. So do visit Cold Rock situated in Holland Village, it's right beside Spizza. =)

P.S: Sorry for the awful pictures taken. My monday blues was a hindrance to me taking decent, presentable pictures. so pardon me.

Bangkok Food Part 1

Was in Bangkok a month ago with the girlfriend. I think Thailand will be one of the country I'll always feel so comfortable in despite everything being so foreign to me. And one thing, I'll never get enough of their food! We blew most of our money on food and I have pretty decent photos to share. Will be posting them up in parts so just hope I don't get lazy!

This was what we ate for dinner upon arrival. Chester's Grill can be found in most parts of Bangkok and the price's pretty reasonable considering that the food is good! The girlfriend had this, Teriyaki Chicken Rice.

I had this, the Roasted Chicken Rice. The meat they used was dark meat which I looooove. Rice was soft and fragrant. I didn't like the thick gravy that they drizzled over the top of the rice though.

Carl's is the way to go!

I loveeeeee the onion rings from Carl's Jr.
Seriously, they're BIG, crunchy, nicely breaded and smells really good.
Besides that, the plus point comes from the do-it-yourself Salsa Dip at the self-help condiments station.
I love salsa to the max!!We had a chicken burger this time, unlike the usual beef ones.
Bacon Swiss Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
Its Juicy.
The chicken is BIG (not unusual), the nice salty bacon is crispy, and the combi of melty swiss cheese and mayo makes for an all-time sinful delight!I like it when patties are bigger than the bread bun =P

Japanese Curry

Want to cook some Japanese Curry at home? Easy!
Grab a pack of Vermont Curry Cubes from any supermarket and just follow the instructions! =)

Vermont Curry: Curry with a Touch of Apple and Honey

Step One: Stir-fry the onions, potato and carrots in oil for several minutes/ till you deem it's okie.

Step Two: Add one cup of water in. Add in the meat too ( I used pork). I added the meat here but not in step one because I do not want to the meat to be too tough.

Step Three: Add in 2 cubes of Vermont Curry. Then stir.

Ta- da! Serve the curry with rice =)
