Par' tea time * ( part one )

PARTY again ????

hmmm ...NOPE ! ... l i'm not babbling on any of my boring parties with my regular huge numbers of my self pics loaded in this entry , ha .. tea parties maybe ?? let's see .. well , the week's weather rather dull & gloomy but work's pretty productive for me , although i slog through the days like hell ... less relaxing and more stressed up with big volume of work buried and of cuz gotta meet high demanding deadlines and on and on .... for now , my mind completely cant think ! mainly occupied by work .. i believe i cant think of anything else that is better than baking which can kill whatever i'm facing right now hehe , ( excuses , excuses ) nevertheless , there's always ways to find time ... and here i am today .... =)

My ex colleague's son turning 3 next weekend , inviting me to their place for a little tea time birthday celebration .. beside giving presents in the convention way , was wondering if i could i come out with something astonishing .. since i'm into baking lately , naturally there will be some link somehow ... hence i thought of doing something less hassle yet fun and most important able to deliver to the door step without melting or destroying my effort morever my ex colleague are unaware of my baking interest guess it might surprise too!! lol .. so cookies immediately came across my mind for my first choice sharing the thinking that most kids are attracted to cookies but just the matter of making it more appealing & mouthwatering looking to him and to make sure he don't run away after seeing it haha ... due to my very first try on baking cookies , sharing here today is something very basic ... butter cookies with M& M choc chips , hmmmmmmm ..... smell good and look colorful ... hopefully the small boy loves it .. =)

so let's see what's in the list of ingredient below ..

INGREDIENTS

all purpose flour
caster sugar
baking powder
milk and milk powder
butter
eggs
vanilla extract
M&M choc chips

To start ...


for the mixtures , add all purpose flour , butter , caster sugar , eggs , milk , baking powder , vanilla extract in a mixer bowl and make it into a dough before cutting to the desire shapes u like ...

p.s i'm working over the weekends again ! dun kill me this time ...

play hard ? or work hard ?

I've been baking up a storm over the past few entries ... today i'm gonna babble about what's rocking over my weekend ....( sorry for those who prefer to see more of my baking , just bear with it for an entry only ... =p ) anyway one week flies and as usual i'm loaded with tons of work ... but like what my friends use to tell me .. no matter in what circumstances i must know how to weigh between work and play and make a balance out of it ...

so on the very fri nite .. i'm out clubbing again !! with felix , jeremy , ark and vin ... and coincidentally bump into auston as well ... =)


my gang of frens ...

i always look so " red " after drinking ... look so bad in my photos ... agrrr ....


this is my fav pic of the nite .. self taken by me but somehow i'm so attracted to it ... maybe is the background ?or ark's nice cap ... or mayb it's because only 1/4 of me is seen in the pic ? hahah ..

however after partying, i'm still quite discipline to finish up all the proposals , details drawings etc.. on the whole sunday afternoon working from home ....


manage to clinch a deal over the weekend after a huge effort .. finally being paid off .... phew....

after clearing up the big mess .... barely manage to finish everything on time , met up benjamin for gym ... has'nt been hitting to gym for the last 2 weeks ! ( so guilty ) =p ...

after gym we were hunting a place for our late dinner .. hmm snacks maybe ! ha .... but most of the shops were closing hence we thought of going somewhere near his place .. holland v .. while heading to pick up my car we saw some nice wall art features that look pretty interesting and ben suggested to take some pics for me ... ha .. sometimes a silly will do silly things ...

oh no .. just bear with me ... =p

The never ending story of .....

FOOD INDULGENCE !!!

hmmm.. talking about food again!! ... well im not going to do my food reviews cuz it normally happens only in fine dining places that offers nice ambience and food but what 's in my entry today are two places that i visited last two days which i feel that thou there aren't fancy decos and attractive environment but do have wide spread of nice foody ....

let's see where are the two places that i mentioned earlier on ...

on sunday nite ... brought my family out to bottle tree village at sembawang ...

( notice the big bottle shape trees ? )

Located at the northern end of Singapore near Sembawang Park is a rustic outdoor seafood restaurant for those who are not driving it might be a little inaccessible as there is a very long drive in before you reach the restaurant ... It is called Bottle Tree Village because of 6 Bottle Trees imported by the owner from Queensland, Australia. Overlooking the Straits of Johor, it is the site of the former Sembawang Sea Sports Center. Apart from bottle trees, grass trees, giant ferns and palms, also imported from Australia can be seen around the Bottle Tree Village.
There is amply dining space, either in the shaded patios or just by the sea. Kids will also enjoy some free time in between dinner on the decked area beside the fountain.


( interior )

The seafood served at Bottle Tree Village is not the best you can get in Singapore but the place is unique. On weekends, you need to make a reservation in order to secure a table by the sea.

overlooking a nice sea view from our table ..


& they serve mainly chinese cuisine and fresh seafoods

from top left - prawn paste chicken and Hk style steam fish
from bottom left - fried banana with scallop fritters and claypot fish maw and braised sea cucumber ( which i dun eat LOL )

NEXT ..
on monday ....

had to attend my regular duty at expo interior exhibition .. was a busy day for me ... as well for my colleagues ... therefore we only had our dinner late .. er .. supper actually! after we knock off at ten .... we drove down nearby to this stretches of shops at bedok ....


this shop , i believe has an strong influence of east meet west concept for their food .. thou there are'nt nice sitting areas and ambience ... ( reminds me of prata shops at jalan kayu ) but they do offer a delectable variety of food , by looking at the wide selections and disturbing yummy pictures from menu will not conclude any dish to order , hence me and my colleagues made random picks ... and of cuz there's still lots more to try ... !


here are what we had ...

from top left .... cheese and chicken mutabak .... grilled black pepper fish
from bottom left ... honey tissue prata and kebab ...


this banana wrap with ice cream is a MUST TRY dessert of their shop ! SLURRPPP =p


SEE ?

judging from my " pig looking " bloated face can tell that how satisfying the meal was ..

" SIMPLY SUBLIME " haha ...

and after two days of "sinful " spreads

its time hitting to the gym real soon !!!!
