Baked Bananas

I’ve been meaning to try this for the longest time but because I am a lazy ass fat fuck, I never got round to it until today, I felt hungry and needed a quick supper fix. I found a heap of bananas so I set about making this easy peasy recipe.

Some websites called this baked bananas; some call  them caramelized bananas.

The end result is a mind boggler! I really do not know how to describe the taste and texture!

The banana softens up a lot; almost pulpy, but, still retains its shape, and the heat does a wonderful magic to the cold sweet flesh which transforms it to a warm and “I wanna do so many naughty things to your taste buds and make you crave for more” kinda taste sensation.

I used two bananas, sliced into half, and because I was not in a scattering mood, I studded chocolate chips in the centre.

I put them in the oven (180 degrees) for about 15 minutes (or until the skin turns dark) and this is the result:

Warm, scorched bananas with bits of chocolate chip action going on here and there!

It took me all of 20 minutes (from slicing up the bananas and to putting them in the oven to taking them out) to prepare, so, what are you waiting for?!

And also, a very badly taken photograph with too much flash:

Actually it doesn’t look too bad.

Fixing the wholemeal spaghetti

The last time I tried to cook wholemeal spaghetti, I ended up with disastrous results, so, I gave it one more attempt today.

The result? Astonishing!

I only added slightly over a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, thus, the pasta did not soak up too much salt. It ended up tasting just right for the taste buds. Basically, this is just a variant of the aglio olio recipe; I had two types of cherry tomatoes and some red chillis, so I popped them in together for a not so fancy spaghetti meal.

Problem solved! Now I can safely cook for everyone else!

 

 

SERIOUSLY

I have no words to describe the sheer stupidity of these ignorant people who obviously don’t give a rat’s ass about morals and ethics.

PS: The dude saying that “If you’re ugly or don’t have the moolah then don’t wear” is ironically, very ugly himself. I would post a picture but I really don’t wanna blind the innocent and harmless folks who read this blog.

Btw, I’ve never stepped into A&F ever since they opened in Singapore, let alone bought any of their clothes. I didn’t have a reason to, but now that this has surfaced, I have a more solid reason not to.

That Weekend Trip Part 2!

Where do you think I went? Wanna take a guess?

Fancy some bird’s nest soup?

 

Food Weekend 5

I haven’t done a food weekend in ages! Yikes! Here goes!

On Friday, a couple of friends and I were meeting for drinks at our usual hangout place at Holland Village. Before I left, I was freaking hungry so I decided to make a couple of half boiled eggs to keep me filled up until I reached there. I did the usual, but this time, I managed to crack the eggs without breaking the yolk! It was a very rare occurrence, so of course, I had to document it!

See! The yolks are all intact!

The black sauce consists of sesame oil, olive oil, tabasco sauce, sweet soya sauce, a small pinch of salt and a generous scattering of pepper. A bit elaborate for something so simple, but it gives a lot of taste to the otherwise bland mixture!

This burger would feature in my ‘list of things to eat at my last meal’. It’s called the pit burger and is a speciality of the place we frequent for drinks. It has the most tender, juicy and succulent beef patty which is made by the chefs themselves! The patty is topped by a huge portobello mushroom and a slice of cheese, so when the cheese melts, it becomes a lethal combo of “I WANT MORE OF THIS!”

Pity I didn’t put in more effort into taking a better picture of this burger because friends and I were caught up in serious banter, so I was a bit distracted.

I had the chance to fix my own lunch on Sunday and thank god I was cooking for myself only because anyone else eating this would have spat this right back at my face!

I used wheat spaghetti instead of the usual spaghetti, and little did I know that it absorbs more salt than regular spaghetti does. So basically I had very salty pasta which tasted like I was putting a big lump of salt in my mouth everytime I took a mouthful of spaghetti.

It was a lesson learnt nonetheless because next time I would be careful enough  to add as little salt as I can when I cook wheat pasta next time.

Aaaand here are some overdue pictures which I was lazy to upload earlier.

Sichuan Spicy Fish Soup and Xiao Long Bao from this place again! It was an impromptu supper decision on Labour’s Day. My friends and I were feeling a bit spontaneous, so we headed down to Swee Choon in the dead of the night just to fill ourselves up with good dim sum!

This was for my mother’s birthday. It fell on a weekday and we did not have time to cook or prepare anything, so basically we just bought pizza and fried chicken and had a simple celebration.

Adios!

Doodle 2: The Face

Friday I had some time before knocking off, so I fished around in the stationery cupboard and found a red marker. I ended up drawing this face:

I sent it to my friend to ask him what he thought of it, instead, I think I freaked him out. LoL.
