One day....

I just wanna to live all by myself.
Situated somewhere in the corner of the world.. on the hills
No one to answer to.
No responsibility to take.
No one would find me.
and No one would know where i am.
I only answer for my own actions, and i have my own groceries truck transporting my food every twice a month.
Humans are evil. So am i. We should stay away from one another...


One day......

Beef noodles.

Ok, so here is to upload the beef noodles i made again this evening. ( as my prev post said i missed the orginal beef noodles with gravy sooo much)
It was nice.. but i bought the wrong kind of noodles, instead it was the 'udon' like Vietnamese noodles. Ergh.. i hated that. I wanted to 'chu mee fen' but its so hard to find.

Gravy:
1.Chopped garlic+Onions = Stir fry till golden.
2.Add water.
3.When boiling, add beef cubes, 1 star anise, 6 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick.
4.Slow cook, add cornflour ( However much you think u need, by right the gravy takes about 3 hours to slow cook but to speed up process i added more cornflour)
5.Cracked pepper
6. Salt ( if you like, i hate using salt)
7. Dark soya sauce ( for colour and taste) + 2-3 tea spoons of light soya.
Stir, and slow cook it, min 45 mins- 1 hour, check occasionally, add more cornflour if needed.
Until thick and gravy like, drain it so that we only want the gravy not the stuff too.

Beef: Best to marinate with pepper and sesame oil over night.
Boil beef, till just nice, don't over cook. Drain and set aside
Beansprouts: Boil till nice, don't over cook again. You wan that crispiness. ( i missed out on beansprouts coz within 3 days, ill have to throw all of em away if i din finish)

Prepare 'ready-made' noodles. yellow mee or white mee.( from supermarket)
Boil, drain.

Add noodles into bowl, add the beef, beansprouts. Pour gravy over and Walah!
Add chilli and lime to taste.

Yum?
Yea hence i ditched the noodles, ate the beef and the radish only
Went on to microwave tv dinner..
SAD!. i took at least 45 mins to make the gravy

Food that i miss....for a few months already...

Food that i terribly miss, I just keep thinking about it, and this has been going on for a few months already. Even so, recently two months ago as i went back to Singapore, i told myself i will eat those foods, coz i miss them too much. But i forgot about it! and never had the chance too!. Damn.
So ended up trying to find their recipes online and to personally make them.

BEEF NODDLES -DRY! with gravy.
Aww man, i miss this to the core. I remember my favourite was at Scotts food court, but i heard its gone now, and quite a number of people are looking for it actaully. I tried cooking this. Apparently, the gravy takes like 3 hours to slowcook. But being so hungry, i poured in a vast amount of cornflour to 'stickyfied' it. Hence in an hour, it was done.
But i was hungry, so i devoured the food before i could take a pic. Not that nice to what i thought, although he said it was. I couldn't find the "zhu mee fen" ( white noodles) , so i used the yellow mee instead. FAIL.

LONTONG! ahhh.. nothing like a hearty lunch. The receipe is almost the same as another of my favourite,

MEE SOTO!. well, nah not the receipe, but more of the spices etc, are excatly the same with the lontong to make the soup base. I took down the receipe, but never got a chance to make it. Its gonna be too much for one person, so ill end up buying overloads of ingredients, which i have to throw them out within a week again.
Just like my veggies, i resorted to frozen ones now, because im tired of throwing my half lettuce, choy sum, kai lan, after a week because i never got around eating them.

And next,

XIAO WAN MIAN! another of my favourite. Never to fail to keep me full, with the ample amount of red cut chilli, that mushroom style noodles. I told myself i woud eat it when i when back. But i Didn't! SOb sob.. Because i chose btwn
yea. i chose my " mee hoon kuay" . nevermind. at least i ate it.

Last but not least. My mum is the one who said "Boo hoo" too bad you can't eat it.

SNOW SKIN MOONCAKE! yes... and my mummy is coming over to find me for a holiday. But too bad, quarantine here is super strict, so forget about bringing any kinds of food. no moon cake- ill have to go to the city to buy - lazy.
But the best of all food i miss is........

Yes Home-Cooked Food. Im sick of cooking my own food already, even thought my mum's food is bland, etc as she is a health nutrionist, nothing beats the 'warm' feeling of home-cooked food. Im gonna lay my kitchen untensils down and let my mum do any cooking for the next whole two weeks. Yay...

P.s: Those pictures are not mine,I did not steal those pictures, they just didn't put their watermark on their pictures. Im too lazy to type the source where they came from.

P.S.S.: I do not care if the english or grammar is totally shit in this post, because i don't care and im not getting marks for this, neither do i want to proof read it. I write as i feel, i dun wanna have to edit them. Lame....

Fuck the English ( and i mean the language)

You know what. No one ever complained about my writing or my standard of English in Singapore. I guess once I have been here, it seems my writing style is totally inappropriate and my tenses, verbs, grammar, style of writing is all shit. I never knew it, as when I hand up assignments, etc, regarding marketing and so on, I could score quite well.

I guess because I haven’t been writing a long time in proper sentences and paragraphs that leads to a story since like secondary school. I feel demoralized. It’s like after so many years in my life. Everyone has something to say about my English. Even my lecturer (writing for children) bluntly said “ I know some of you, English is not your first language and you didn’t grow up in a English speaking family, bla bla.” And she looked at me.! Bloody hell. It wasn’t directly, unintentionally, but I knew she was indirectly speaking about me. Fuck the class. I’m the only bloody Asian Chinese in there anyway. You think Chinese is my first language??? And how embarrassing to know I came from a English speaking family and I wished I could pretend that I don’t.

And damn! My English? Fuck my English. I wouldn’t have known it till I started this course in creative writing. I never had a problem with writing. SO what the hell is going on now? And in this course, Writing for Children especially( or perhaps the only class I freaking hate), when we are doing work shopping, the comments on my piece is so damn vile and cold. Hey common, critiques I know, but hell, you don’t have to be so straightforward. Yet when I give critiques, I still add in at least what I like and don’t like. But these are all like, bawhamm.. shoot, die. You know that feeling? Crap. A bullet straight in the head, coming from different people. That’s pathetic. I’m ranting on here at 4am in the morning because of all these comments, I had to change my whole 2,000 essay story because comments were everywhere so fuck editing the story. Bloody hell. Hence, I’m still awake, like a very angry and furious zombie…..
