This is Hakka 黑豆糕(black bean cake) made by an old man in his ninties, who sells hakka kuehkuehs in a temple. It is made from glutinious rice, black beans, sugar and mandarin orange skin.. Traditionally, pork is added too, but it seems like this one is pork free. It comes in a rectangular block and is really dense with the black beans still intact. One eats it by cutting out a small piece and savouring it slowly.. The more you bite it, the yummier it gets. (: According to mummy, in the olden days it was more oily, more black, and it tasted much better. But the thought of pork in a sweet cake does not appeal to me. Check this out.
This currypuff is bought from a really old bakery near my house which was there since i was born. It is light and has many thin flakey layers which is really crispy. The saltiness is just right and the filling was not too spicy. I guess it’s baked, since it wasn’t oily at all.
Hehe this is my favourite bread off the shelves, given to me by someone special who said ‘I bought this multigrain bread not because I don’t want to spend too much money but I feel that you will be happier eating bread compared to chocolates and flowers you dislike.’ How true~ hehe.
The bread is dense and has lots of grains inside which gives it a nutty taste and smell.. and i love how i can take forever to finish a slice.. chew it slowwwwly.
Can eat it toasted.. but must be really toasted sufficiently so that it taste like a biscuit.. or else it’ll be nasty.. tough to bite.
Life’s simple pleasure indeed. Am i too easily satisfied? :p
Ba chor mee at Bedok Blk 511 market which everyone raves about.. baby say it’s so-so only.. I don’t like the noodles as it tastes uncooked and bland but I really love the soup.. with all the chillis thrown in, it’s really spicy and tasty.. hmm.. shall just buy the soup with dumplings next time.
Carrot cake which is just medicore.. needs more chai po and better chilli..
This is masala thosai from the food court at Suntec City.. Everything in that food court is very expensive. The thosai skin was yummy and really pleased my tastebuds, but it wasn’t crispy enough. The masala is nothing compared to the one I had in Little India.. it was served in too-big chunks and not spiced up enough. I love the white dip though.
Baby’s rice with fried chicken.. no comment. Expensive..
