Beijing Olympic Torch Protest

This photo was shown in The Straits Times on Saturday 12/Apr/2008. And beneath it was the caption: FACE-OFF: A Tibetan supporter (right) arguing with a Chinese supporter at a rally for the Olympic touch in San Francisco on Wednesday. PM Lee said that the disruptions to the torch relay have aroused intense anti-foreigner feelings in young Chinese.

I just kinda like this photo. The smiling face of the chinese lady with the angry face of an ang-moh. Would you boycott French product? Or boycott the Olympics?

More Cheap Food You Can Make Yourself!

Take a look at all of these pictures. They are all homecooked meal me and my hubby made last weekend. They don't cost much, but they sure taste good!

Breakfast on a Saturday morning: bread, milk, bake beans, and scramble eggs.




Pork Chop Lunch: BBQ Pork Chop with Onion and Garlic Sauce (Sauce from Australia), with pepermint dip, aspragus and cherry tomatoes saute in garlic and olive oil.

Light dinner of grilled portobello mushroom with salsa and cheese in the photo, accompanied by tomato basil soup, caesar salad, and toasted garlic bread (homemade)

Another version of a light dinner: Mango Salad with cut mangos, salad leaf with caesar salad dressing and parmesan cheese, and smoked salmon! ( I love smoked salmon! It it the only reason I love going to Australia! hahaha)


An even lighter dinner: Cranberry Cereal with cut strawberries and milk :)

Ahhhhhh, life is good to a cordy :)

Happy Birthday Boss!

Today is my Lengzhai Boss's birthday, and I'd just like to wish him a Happy Birthday since I know he comes to this blog from time to time to "caci" my blog. I'd have love to upload his picture here for all of you all to see, but I am afraid it would bring down the network due to overload of visitors to this site from teenage girls dying to drool over his lengzhai-ness :P

Dear boss, time to give me a pay raise leh!

Set Dinner For Less Then S$10

You know how you step into a restaurant on any other day, order a set meal for two, and end up almost S$30-S$50 lighter in the pocket? Out of which around $5 - $7 is paid for food you did not consume? (eg Service Tax and GST). Bummer.

Well why not cook a meal at home instead? Dinner for two will cost you less then S$10, and takes less then one hour to prepare (provided you have all the ingredience at home already)


For starters, a light Caesar Salad (lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, hard boiled eggs, Caesar Salad and Parmesan Cheese). Ingredient cost - S$2.20

Main course of Portebella Mushroom Scallops Spagetti (the obvious, with some garlic, olive oil and salt to taste). Ingredient cost - S$5.00


And wash it down with a bowl of soup (Campbell Mushroom Seafood Soup). Ingredient Cost - S$1.80.

Total Cost S$10 (add in sauces etc)

And yes, I am damn 'kiam'(stingy) to calculate my meal cost like that, but think of all the savings you get! Plus you get a better nutricious meal too!

And just to share, here a great site for 'kiam' people like me -> The Dollar Stretcher If you know a better site, or a site more in Asian context, do let me know!

Tomorrow I'll be posting 3 more meal time entry: breakfast, lunch and dinner :)

Go Vege

Here's what I had for dinner tonight, a vege burger. Awful as it may sound to some of you, it was actually quite good! And we should all do our bit to be environmentally friendly from time to time! So lets go vege! For a startup kit, click here.

I'll be sharing more vegan friendly meal from time to time on this blog. Hopefully one day, I can really go meat-free for life :)

Recipe: one vege burger, one egg, two wheatbread, 2 slice of tomatoes, 1 slice of onions, tartar sauce, worchester sauce, and edamame for the greens :) delicious!
