The vegetable which gets me nuts

What things will get u Nuts or Crazy?

Maybe its hard for you to believe..
I go nuts...whenever it comes to this vegetable...

Today I had this dish which brought back some nice memories during my high school days..
During my school days...I am in pretty good terms with all the aunties in the canteen..
thus its always a headache which stall to patronize..

Thus whenever that Yong Tau Foo stall has it on her menu that day...the stall owner will never forget to info me so that I will buy from her that day..hahaha..

For those who are non-Singaporean probably you might not know what Yong Tau Foo is..
Its basically cooking a mixed of vegetables or fishball, sotong balls etc and noodles which you chose over hot water or soup..and then..add in soya bean soup or you can eat it dry with chilli sauce and the special sweet sauce...

Hmmm..taste really yummy... esp if they use the soya bean to cook the soup..it will taste really sweet..some doesn't use soya bean and used ikan billies instead.

As I was eating it today...using the same old way which I used to in school putting the cut vegetable in my spoon...add a few drops of chilli and sweet sauce over it and soak with some soup..yummy yum yum.

Know what is the vegetable which makes me go nuts? hee...
Its Ladies finger..

This stall at Funan Centre Food court sells pretty good Yong Tau Foo tho it cost about $5 but the soup base..trust me is yummy...(soya bean soup base). So next time if you dunno what to eat at Funan..go the the foodcourt upstair to eat Yong Tau Foo..or their Pepper Express ..its cheaper by a few dollars there compare to other branches...and yummy..

Hope you had a great dinner too..

Food is always the best way to destress and enjoy..oneself..hee..thus I am very particular about food..

Talking about that...
I slimmed down during my 8 days in China..cuz all the food there is either too salty..sweet..oily or tasteless...

Thus I am really grateful that I am back here again..eating so many yummy food..
my sis saw me eat just few days ago..she got a shock..becuz I ate alot and the way I eat..tells her just how unsatisfied I was with the food in China..hahaha..

But...the trip was still wonderful....isn't it Joyce..?
its really quite an experience...
:) Ahh.....

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
