BAck FroM NoT So SuNNY CaliFornIA

My Dear fellow foodie bloggers... i am back from my trip to LA. This is my first trip to the States and is really an exciting experience for me. I reached LA airport in the afternoon and was greeted by my sweet hubby holding a sign saying "My Wife" and of course the sunny sky of LA which later on rained and remain cloudy for 3 days. I miss my hubby sooo much!

I was there for 12 days and I managed to go to a few places during weekends when hubby is free and not working. And from Monday to Friday, I stayed in the hotel room and make sandwiches for dear hubby for lunches as I was forbidden to cook and make the room stink of oil... I did my daily gym routine as well. The most looked forward meal of the day was always the dinner. We ate out most of the time, even caught a movie - Resident Evil 3D - at AMC. There were only 2 other couples in the cinema... something which you do not see often in Singapore =)

During the weekends we visited Ontario Mill Factory Outlet and Desert Hill Premium Outlet where I did most of my shopping. Really shopped till I dropped .. everything was so much cheaper! We also did sightseeing at Santa Monica Beach , Hollywood, Griffith Observatory,Universal Studio and Disneyland. Oooo.. by the way, I really enjoy shopping in their supermart too... Target and another one which sell all organic food -Wholesome Food Market. How I wish I can bring the things there back...

Now.. as for the food... they have the nicest fried chicken! Yes! Sinful... but really tasty! I got to tried some nice lobster and scallops at the Red Lobster Restaurent. But to my surprise the favourite food that I tried for this trip which i enjoyed the most is the Korean Organic Tofu pot at BCD. I love it !! Super tasty !! Very spicy with a lot of tofu - my favourite food! I shall try to mimick what i have tasted there and will try to update a post of my version of Korean Tofu Pot ! Well a lot has been said.. and i shall as usual end my post with some chosen pics of my trip! Enjoy~ =)

SoUR ToMatos.. ANYone?

My collegues in my officie has been crazy over a snack which is really refreshing and easy to do. I love it very much myself and would like to share with all of you..
There is no specific weight of how much ingredients.. you do as per your liking! =)

What you will need:

• Tomatos (preferably medium size , cherry tomatos also can)
• preserved sweet plums
• preserved orange skin

Basically what you do is to dig a hole in the tomato with a knife, stuffed adequate amount of the mixture of plum and orange skin. Viola.. that's it... now before consuming, you will have to cover it and fridge it for at least 4 hours (longer the better). The taste is really refreshing and nice.. a nice snack and replacement to chips and biscuits. Do try! =)

Refreshing snack for a change!

TiRamisu & Choco CHiP CookIE - BackDated POST

Do note that this is really a super back dated post... =)

During our house warming in March, we recieved a bottle of Baileys(with a tinge of coffee) from E and A. It has been sitting in our kitchen cabinet for some time. Finally I decided to put it to good use. Friday night I went home straight after work and within an hour in the kitchen.. I made Tiramisu, with a good amount of Baileys! This is my second time making this bake-free Tiramisu and it was a breeze... Everyone loves Tiramisu .. Hubby likes it.. and had been having it as breakfast for these 2 days... =)

Saturday was usual with all the ironing, sweeping and laundry to do in the house. Really wanted to bake something... and so... ChocoChips AGAIN!!! yeah!!
