Berry Nice Berries

Perhaps I went a little berserk tonight, just a little bit.

I've never bought so much fruits, much less, so many berries, but they were irresistible!



The new Fairprice Finest is a wonderful place for fresh groceries. I love the look of rows and rows of fresh fruits on display, many of which are organic. There's even a good variety of herbs, some so fresh they're still in pots of soil.

These are among the stuff I'd bought.


Organic strawberries at a steal for $2.99 nia, so I had to buy 2 boxes. These are excellent, sweet and full of flavour.


Organic raspberries - it's the first time I ate fresh raspberries. They're sweet and slightly tangy, very nice. It's also the first time I see fresh raspberries so "cheap", at $5.90 only.


Blueberries - 2 boxes at $4.99 nia. These are non-organic, but still are fresh, firm and nice; I finished almost half a box on the bus ride home.


I told the SO he can eat as much as he wants of these power food, coz there's so much. :P

Yummilicious!


*Ngom, ngom, ngom.... slurrrp!*

They're all sweet or just slightly tangy, without the sharp, sour taste at all. Yay! Joy and happiness all round! :))

More vegetarian food

Other vegetarian food that I had:


Miso Brown Rice Soup from a packet



Vegetarian chye png with brown rice (top and below)




Vegetarian Mee Rebus - too much ground peanuts in the gravy and the fake char siew was just weird!


Vegetarian fish beehoon (鱼片米粉) - something I eat regularly


This is the organic chicken rice with vegetarian 白斩鸡 which my IT colleage had.

He was (unusually) alone as his usual IT lunch kakis aren't into vegetarian food. I still have not tried this, since it's offered on Fridays when my favourite Korean bibimbap is being offered as well.


Vegetarian nasi lemak - with seasoned "scallop wing" (next to cucumber slices) and "pandan chicken".

I think that was meant to be seasoned "scallop wing" which is common at Japanese sushi restaurants, coz it really tastes like the real thing! Everything tasted alright, except that I didn't like the rice (with weird/oily coconut milk taste), nor did I like the "hae bi hiam" (spicy dried prawn paste) on the long beans.

Uhmm...

More food from our friendly neighbours.


A few days' ago, they gave us a very big bowl of green bean. Actually, we do like green beans... of the normal type.


This one had a "sharp" taste of coconut milk, and (the first time I've come across) pieces of strong, pungent durian chunks...

Some of the food stuff they gave us earlier this year:


Cheesecake


I do eat cheesecake... ie. the normal kind...


That is, the normal kind without an extra layer of sweet jelly on top...


This was their own concocted dessert. I think it had a thick layer of sticky, rich & sweet chocolate over a layer of rich, cream cheese that sat over a layer of sweet Oreo biscuits.


Very sticky, rich, fattening and jelat. Probably concocted by their little girls.

Over at our home, the SO does not eat fresh durian. He only eats processed durian like durian kueh, which we eat once in a blue moon, like when someone buys a tube from Malaysia and give it to us. Fresh durian makes him throw up. I ate durians when I was a kid... and the last time I ate durian was like 2 or 3 years ago (probably ate up to 3 seeds).

I am not a dessert person. I am not into overly sweet food, although I eat Snickers and I love Magnum ice-cream, which I eat selectively since I put on weight easily.

Other than that, we are really not fussy people when it comes to food. We eat at hawker stalls, mostly. We can eat plain rice with vegetables everyday, or just a simple bowl of noodles.

It's a sin to waste food. The green bean is still sitting in the fridge... I don't know what to do... >_<"

Aarrrggghhh!!! *pulls out hair*

Fave green tea swiss roll

Not being a sweet dessert person, I am not really into cakes, but I really like the green tea cakes from Breadtalk. They have the whole green tea cake (the expensive version) and the green tea swiss roll (cheapo version) which appears only every now and then.

With their current anniversary promotion, their green tea swiss roll has come back onto the shelves at a promo price of $1.10 till end of July.


If you're lucky, you may even get a big red bean or two inside the cream.

To date, I've eaten several of these rolls already in a span of 1.5 weeks! Yummy, yummy!!
