Steamboat

It's a tiny little pot of soup (individual serving) with many many small dishes like a Korean banquet. There's peanut sauce so you can make your own dandan noodles. I want to try those mala hotpots next. I heard your tongue goes numb afterwards.

Mirchi

Another team lunch, this time at Mirchi - an Indian restaurant owned by Harry's Bar. The food is authentic as my Indian colleagues have atested. We had a tandoori platter to start off and I really took a liking to charred Indian bbq. In particular, the mutton kebab that tastes like meaty otah and the chicken. Garlic naans always go down well especially with mutton curry, lentil curry and butter chicken, really hearty savoury fare. Washed down with a mango lassi.



Big N' Tasty

Lorna made me a similar sandwich this morning with ham. So I made the trip to McDonald's for lunch (bad back and all) for the new Big n' Tasty with cheese shaker fries. The fries were fantastic! Big n' Tasty is really a quarter pounder with sauce overload - good but messy to eat.



Marshmellow Choc Cake

Another unbelievable dessert from Projectshop cafe.



Working with Pearls

 

 

I made my sis a pearl lariat. Push presents really come from the husband but, I thought she would appreciate something pretty to look at.

I usually buy my pearls already set into jewellery. But, occasionally it breaks and I don't know what to do. Eventually I had to learn how to fix my own jewellery, so I purchased a bunch of swarovski crystal pearls to practice on. It's really just knotting that take practice. I think I worked on 4 strands before I got to the one pictured above.

 

 

 

 

Then I tried bunching a whole batch of seed pearls and made rosaries with the remaining pearls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instant Shots

Instant pre-mixed shots, just rip off the tab. There's the classics - rattlesnake (tequila, lime) and something fruity like On the Beach (melon, raspberry creme) for me. Will drink this on my last day at work!

* updated 12 Sept 2012: I've tried all the flavours and it doesn't taste that good.

 

 

Sophie!

Welcome the new addition to the family, my niece Sophie!! aaww....ain't she a cutie? My sis can pass on her T-shirt to this girl.

Then we got distracted by this hot sandwich machine next to the hospital elevator.

Put in dollar notes, select your sandwich filling and wait 90 seconds as the machine counts down with you for a hot pocket sandwich.

You can get a combo for under $5.

Nicely wrapped too and really hot! It tasted pretty good if you must know.
