Yellow Tea Cup :: B4nch4’s Daily Stuff

There is nothing nicer than arriving at office on a gloomy Monday morning and find a package sitting on the table waiting to be opened. This time the package is from bhineka. Ehm I have been waiting for this one!

My FREE 1GB ipod shuffle i won from Media Ide E-Narcism Online Competition has finally arrived! Oh my oh my, blue is my least favorite color of all pretty colors i love, but still, who can resist the fun of getting a free ipod?

I instantly connect my new ipod shuffle to my macbook and all the song from the macbook automatically transfered to the shuffle. Needless to say, i have been rockin’ on my ipod shuffle ever since.

And best of all, this cute little ipod shuffle is also double function as….HAIR PIN!

Doesn’t it make such a good looking hi-tech hairpin? It looks like the kind of hairpin female alien would wear. And it hold my annoying fringe back better than the real hairpin too!

I’m currently reading Eat, Pray & Love, a #1 New York Time Bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert and i must say i’m completely charmed by it. The book is about the writer herself who was on her thirties, has great career as journalist/writer, a husband and a lovely country home - in short, she has everything a woman supposed to want. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and depression. So she left everything behind and set out on a journey to italy for pleasure, india for spiritual devotion, and bali to find a balance between worldly enjoynment and divine transcendence.

I’m nowhere near finish the book yet, and what interest me is clearly not about the author life issues.

I think she has the most mouth-watering way in describing the pizza she found in Naples, Italy. Check out the quote below and see if you agree with me.

“So i have come to Pizzeria da Michelle, and i love my pizza so much that i have come to believe in my delirium that my pizza might actually love me, in return. I am having a relationship with this pizza, almost an affair.

“I always thought we only have two choices in our lives when it came to pizza crust - thin and crispy or thick and doughy. How was I to have known there could be a crust in this world that was thin and doughy? Holy of Holies! Thin, doughy, strong, gummy, yummy, chewy, salty pizza paradise.”
“On top there is a sweet tomato sauce that foams up bubbly and creamy when it melts the fresh buffallo mozarella, and the one sprig of basil in the middle of the whole deal somehow infuses the entrire pizza with herbal and radiance.

Oh man, don’t you want to have a slice of the pizza she is talking about? I’m going to Naples one day, just for the pizza.

oh, while i’m there, couldn’t hurt to have the pistachio gelato too…and capuccino, and risotto, and all kind of pasta..

From recent trip to spore, this is me eating all sort of food i can find.

Ah Bai Ling Peanut Soup @Chinatown
Best peanut soup i ever taste. The peanuts have been boiled long enough until it gets nice and very soft. The skin of the Ah Balling is smooth and chewy and the fillings come in six different flavors, including the Green Tea! But i still love the peanut filling the most. SGD 2 for a bowl

Bakpao @random foodmarket

Bakut Teh @Rangoon Road
I walk for almost 45minutes from the closest MRT to get here! If you have a better map understanding than me, it should takes no more than half hour for slow walker. The bakut teh is pretty good.

Banana Cake @Toastbox

Chicken Macaroni Soup @Suntec

Dim Sum @Wisma Atria

Dumpling@Bugis Juntion

Fishball @random snack stall in chinatown

Fishball Soup @Maxwell Foodcenter
This is yummy!

Ice Kachang @Maxwell Foodcenter
You can find it almost everywhere in Spore and it’s all yummy!

Kaya Toast @random kaya toast house
I simply love these kaya & butter toast. I would happily have it for breakfast every single day for the rest of my life.

Kwetiaw @chinatown

Laksa @random foodmarket

Octopus ball @Bugis Junction

Prata @infront of St.Andrews Catedral
Prata is so yummy! Roti prata is the Singaporean evolution of the Pakistani and Indian paratha, a pancake bread made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water. It is traditionally served with curry or with sugar. Very easy to find in spore.
