I’ve tried to prepare my own version of Ramly Burger. My first attempt to it and it’s good! But of course, more improvements can be made.
I tried to imitate what I see when the Ramly person makes the Ramly Burger.. put in fried onions, cheese, wrap the patty with egg.. I even marinated the patty!
But the patty isn’t the Ramly patty.. Just some patty that I can find from the local supermarket.
I think my next attempt would be better… =)
Made 4 burgers (2 burger each) with a bowl of vegetables and a pot of soup.. Yum Yum!

It’s the last day of the Ox Year and we’re all prepared for THE Reunion Dinner!
Was looking forward to it as there are lots of food flown back from down under… Had a very sumptuous meal with a few highlights.. So many good food that I think I’m gonna rank them to my own judgment..
First place goes to… HUGE Tiger Prawns!
It is really THAT huge and its diameter is like two of my fingers.
Then, the 2nd place goes to the 7-sing pan or Seven-Star Garoupa
A fresh fish and not even from the frozen kind.. So, it’s meat is smoother and fresh!
And coming in 3rd place, my all-time favourite.. Steamed Kampung Chicken. haha It’s meat is tender and juicy… Yum Yum..
And lastly, the must-have Lou Sang from Tuck Kee.. They still maintain their standard
Of course, apart from all these, there are still other stuff like roast pork, fried wanton, vegetables, and abalone soup…
A truly satisfying reunion dinner.. =D~

My mum makes the most delicious pineapple tarts… I’ve tried that first batch in KL on Xmas Eve and I’m yearning for more… Upon request, she decided to make another batch, but this time, she has help from many little helpers…
Grace and Annie helped by squeezing out the batter from the shaper,
My mom have already prepared the pineapple stuffing. They look like worms
Yin Sin rolled the pineapple fillings onto the pastry,
And arrange them nicely before putting them into the oven…
And finally, the final product!

Had a small birthday dinner celebration with Elaine and the guys at Jurong Point last night. It was very difficult to ‘secure’ their time and most of them are busy with FYP and exams. A big thank you to Ela ine for organizing this and getting people to come.. =)
So happened that night I was to stay overnight in NTU as I will be going to Bukit Batok the next morning. Much nearer to travel from NTU instead of Hougang. Took the opportunity to meet up with them in Jurong Point where they Shaun made reservations to Pu Tien for dinner.
It’s my first time in Pu Tien although I’ve heard of the place quite a few times before that. It’s the Chinese restaurant kind and they ordered a lot of types of dishes.
Actually, it’s been a while since we hang out.. The last time was the house warming a few weeks ago. Anyway, this time round they self-decorated the cake…
As you can see, there’s a number of nicely decorated ‘shits’ down there and the writing says “Happy Sai Birthday”
At the sides, they added in their ‘signatures’
And their gift for me.. A $50 G2000 gift voucher. Haha
Anyway, thanks guys for spending the time out for the night. =)

After about almost 4 months shifting into Hougang, I’ve finally arranged a house warming session with my friends. Reason I put it as part 1 is because there are two groups of people that I intend to do house warming with. The first series is with my English-speaking kakis in NTU – Elaine, Wai Seng, De Zien, Yi Wang and Shaun. Second one would be with my batch’s people, the more Chinese-speaking one. The latter one will save for another time. Well, I just hope after 4 months it’s not too late. I quite like being in this house now. It’s like every two weeks, there’s always ‘new’ people who visits the house. Two weeks ago was Chee lim they all. The two weeks before that was the house warming for the NUS people. Two weeks before that was Jason Ling, Suk Mun, Adele… etc. etc.
Anyway, back to the house warming.. We’re to have a pot luck session where each/a pair of us are to prepare something to eat. Yin Sin and I prepared spaghetti, Wai Seng and Iris prepared fruit salad, Yi Wang and Yen Ping brought drinks, Elaine and Shaun prepared fried prawns, De Zien brought cakes, Yvonne brought french fries, my housemates bought noodles and everyone contributed a bit of chips. We started preparing the food slightly late. Yin Sin and I prepared the spaghetti sauces first and stored it in the rice cooker before preparing the noodles when everyone arrives. Elaine and Shaun were very secretive with what they’re preparing. When they first came, they brought prawns, flour, salted eggs and curry powder… And they only prepared salted eggs before the rest came.
While we were waiting, we killed time by playing King of Fighters on the PS2.
Everyone arrives at about the same time near 7pm.. And then the ‘actual’ cooking begins.. After a lot of hard work from everyone, here’s the results which eventually ends up in our stomach.
Yea, so there were a lot of variety of food. As there weren’t that many of us, the food portion was alright with minimal waste. Then, we continued on the night with a drinking game where Shaun sponsored some vodka along with Yi Wang’s drinks.. And we ended up with a late night movie in the living room, The Ugly Truth. Some were dozing off during the show but it didn’t really matter.. Overall, it’s good company and good food.. Maybe next time can have something more of this.. =)
