The last time I met up with the JC girls, we were talking about meeting to bake cheeseakes, between mouthfuls of Peranakan fare at Blue Ginger. Considering that it's really been a while since we've had a gathering, I reckoned it should be fun.
And it is =)
Liying's BiBimBap!!!
Sliced
shittake mushrooms,
carrots,
cucumbers,
beansprouts, marinated
chicken thigh meat,
sunny-side-ups, all stir-fried in fragrant sesame oil and topped on
steaming white rice...
DeeEEEeeeLISH!!!Mixing it all up with that
gorgeous Korean chilli paste
and throw in 1 kg of kimchi kimchi
KIMCHI!!!
Why I cut the kimchi? So I can take sneek bites =P
Looks good rite? Well, the cabbage kimchi is like waaaay nicer, with each leafy slice totally permeated with vinegar, chilli, salt, sugar, the works.
This radish kimchi has that funky radish smell none of us took a liking to. And the thick stems aint that well marinated too...
So now we're stuck with
900gm of funky-smelling, not-that-spicy kimchi... sheesh

Baoyuan: BOTH!

Bao: She just wants the bowl to herself =_=

Me: "Eager anticipation?"
Lilian: "No.

It just doesn't get any better than this.Had to leave for the CBLC bdae dinner @ Harbourfront (which explains why I'm the only one with makeup on. I'm not THAT hiao, ok.) at this point so no pics of cake cutting =P
I'm sooooo gonna get an oven in my new home.
