Malaysian Food Street @ RWS

My family & I finally found the opportunity to visit the Malysian Food Street (MFS) @ RWS on 14 April 2012, Saturday. 2 points to park at RWS if you are member. Other options to go to MFS include the monorail (S$3) from Vivo City or take a short walk along the Sentosa Boardwalk (S$1 entry fee).

We reached the place around noon & they were still plenty of seats available and the queue to buy our food was pretty short, except for the char koay teow which I have to wait for almost 10 mins.

Selamat Datang ke Malaysian Food Street

Berlayer Creek & Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk

I was looking forward to a day of fun sighting exotic fauna & flora but was disappointed because after walking for less than 15 mins, my mom & I realised that the variety of plants are the same few along the boarded walk. 

I was half expecting that we would be the lone visitors but was pleasantly surprised by the number of people along the way especially as we get closer to Reflections @ Keppel Bay.

Instruments I've learnt to play:

1. Recorder

2. Pianica

3. Trumpet

4. Guitar

5. Piano

Among all these instruments, I played the first 3 the best because I learnt these during my Primary School days & had participated in performances and competitions. It also goes to show that I have better lung prowess than fingers deftness. To be fair to myself, I only started learning the last 2 when I'm pretty advance in age, so that might explain the lack of agility in certain motor skills.

I always envy and admire those who can play any types of musical instruments, I think besides hard work and interest, talent is also important.

It seems like this is fast becoming a food blog soon.

Today, I tried making ondeh ondeh with greater success compared to my first try last week.

I leave the ondeh ondeh to cook longer so that the palm sugar wrapped within can melt fully. I used crushed almond flakes with sugar instead of grated coconut to coat the ondeh ondeh. 

Huh, isn't this mochi? Haha, yes, a hybrid of ondeh ondeh & mochi. 

Well, cooking is about creativity & personal preference, and it's so much fun. 

Remember to clean up the mess in the kitchen when you are done : )

I'm constantly staring at the PC at work, even when I'm at home, I spent quite a fair bit of time in front of my laptop. And when I'm not at work or at home, that means I'm travelling on the road, I'll be staring at my smartphone.

The other day, my mom just asked: "After staring at the computer at work for an entire day, you are still staring at your laptop at home, aren't you tired?" 

Huh, I think it's more like a necessity than an addiction.

How many hours have you spent with your laptop / smartphone today?

My first attempt at making ondeh ondeh : )

Edible but dare not say it's a successful because I didn't cook it long enough, so the palm sugar wrapped within didn't melt completely  but it's a good start.

谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。
