All I want for X'mas.....

Well not really, but I had to buy one of these - glass pan lid (universal). I have been taken the piss by the spitters of oil that lands boiling hot when I do fried dishes so this lid will help my woes. Where did I buy it? 105 Eunos Avenue 3. It's a good place to shop for kitchen equipment. It's huge enough to house all the product ranging from soup bags to HUGE ASS stainless steel soup pans even I could fit in and I am not small. No pictures allowed sorry.

After this shopping spree (if I may call it that) I had lunch with a friend at the nearby Canteen. It's an Industrial area and thus the food is cheap as chips. I could not take a good picture of the SGD 3.30 meal that came with sexy, soft, moist and tongue waggling SOY SAUCE PORK RIBS.... like WOW. I added some side servings of Long Beans and also 'CHAP CHAI' (suppossedly a Nonya ethnicity dish) And the way it's served is simple, like a buffet style where the shop owner will fill your plate with rice and you help yourself to the serving. I took a big rib and I thought it will be costly, but SGD3.30 is a breathe! Below is the map and the canteen is indicated with a RED STAR. The name of the stall is errrr.... I forgot, but if you do go there, it's right at the end of the canteen, near the drink stall.

With the tummy filled, it's time for coffee. And where else but yet boringly enough for me.... VIVO CITY. Hey, I love that mall. It's fantastic! Easy parking (most of the time), good view (some of the office ladies are hot), ample smoking area in restos, car park can be partially redeemed, cinema etc etc.

5 of me Uni mates joined me and as tis' the season to be LAZY... fa la la la ..... la la lazyyyyy...... we all met up at 3pm and had coffee / tea at Modesto's. Fantastic place for hanging out and with the view of the upcoming Resorts World Casino, it reminded us of our lazy days in Uni back in Leicester, England. Bitching about some of our mates, we were just thinking back of our times and laughing our bullocks away. All these made us naturally hungry (laughing is a good fat burning activity, so I was told) and decided to order the Nachos to share. It was a huge helping but I did 1 before and at a fraction of the cost at Modestos, mine is better?! :)

'Having-fun' dish: Nachos with fresh Salsa

- Dice tomatoes until they are fine

- In an Olivized pan, on high heat, start to add garlic and then start to cook the tomatoes and add half a bottle of tomato ketchup (Heinz just gives off a better taste) Continue cooking until the diced tomatoes get softer and tattered. Add some herbs like dried basil and parsley and a pinch of salt for better taste.

- Cut olives and dice them

- Nachos, I would recommend DORITOS Lime Nachos. Adds the zing in every bite

Serving these is like breeze! Rip out a bag of nachos and place them in a huge plate. Lace them with the home made salsa and sprinkle the olives on top. Squeeze salad cream as well over the nachos and lastly, beautify the dish with crunchy bacon bits and mozza cheese. (some may want to add Jalapenos) With the infusion of all the ingredients..... OLE!!!!!!!

4 hours later, we all had to leave our seperate ways... (what? only women bitch? Hell NOoooo) It's X'mas Eve tomorrow. I hope that you all have a good family time and fantastic dinner. I'm having a family dinner too and maybe, if time permits, I'll make a sandwich that has rocked my world before.
