| Chocolate Cake, Thai and Japanese, Oh My! |
There has been a lot of fooding this week. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries on Tuesday and I could not photographically document some of my experiences. I will do my best to describe the meals which I consumed. For those more visually inclined people, you'll just have to use your imaginations.
MONDAY
Ma baked a chocolate cake for Dad's birthday. While it was much more aesthetically pleasing than the last cake I baked, mine was tastier. But then that's a given when you choose real chocolate over cocoa powder. It was a little on the dry side, but pair it with some cookies and cream icecream - yummy.
TUESDAY
We went out to Spices thai restaurant to celebrate Dad's birthday. My meal was accompanied by green tea but that's not so exciting, really. We ordered three appetizers but I only ate two of them- curry puffs and chicken wings. I like the curry puffs the best. Unfortunately, being in such tiny morsels, they were gone all too quickly. For my main dish, I ordered the same thing I got last time - the praram (chicken stirfry with vegies and topped with peanut, garlic sauce). I could have ventured out towards new tastes but it's just so good. Thai peanut dishes are the best. For dessert, I decided on the banana rolls which turned out to be spring roll style rather than fritter or tempura style. They were delicious. The roll batter not being too thick you could taste the banana a lot better. My only problem was trying to eat it with my knife and fork without it flying of the plate.
 Chicken wings and curry puffs. Not a great shot. My family aren't too accomodating of my food photography.
 The praram or peanut lover dish. Beautifully laid out on its green leaf bowl.

WEDNESDAY
I went to Japanese with Jenny. Again, I didn't venture out. I know I should but I just get this overwhelming desire for my fave dishes. Next time, I promise. For an appetizer, I received a little baby octopus, some squid and some mayonaisse crab thing. Tasty. I'm still amazed that I can actually put a whole baby octopus in my mouth without resorting to gag reflex and better yet, enjoy it. For the main dish, I got the chicken cutlet with miso sauce. It also comes with tofu, miso soup, rice and salad. I have totally got to buy some miso sauce because I love it. Jen and I shared green tea shaved ice and icecream with red adzuki beans and glutinous rice balls for dessert.

I made the coolest pancakes last night. I decided to do something a little more fascinating than standard pancakes. I'd never tried banana pancakes before so I thought, why not? They were delicious and gooey. I put marshmallow in one which added extra gooeyness. Yummy. I topped my pancakes with maple syrup and some bacon for protein.
It's a pity I still haven't charged up my batteries because I had tasty teriyaki chicken, salad and miso soup for dinner. I'm sure you would have loved to ogle its takeaway goodness.
I hope you enjoyed my week in food.Labels: birthday, chocolate, dessert, Japanese, Thai |
