CHiQ made an Oreo Cheesecake for Dobbs, and I had the golden opportunity to sample it. Frankly, I thought it was simply delicious 
Much better than the Oreo Cake from Secret Recipe, which taste mostly of cream than anything else. Way to go CHiQ!!
My desperate attempts to gain extra weight have provided me no satisfactory results.
What I’ve been doing…
1) Eat more, pig around (I did, I do, I’ll always do)
2) Take 5 meals a day : breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, supper
3) Stuff myself with chocolate, cheese, full cream milk everyday
4) Nap after lunch
Now I need more tips to get that extra flesh on my arms, hips and legs in order to look better. Stick insects suck. Help me to touch 45kg or more on the bathroom scale before all my efforts go down the drain when the semester starts. Help me!!
I guess studying medicine is the best slimming pill in the world…
Note : My appetite is great, so Appetton’s only gonna burn more holes in my pocket. Don’t suggest Weight Gain coz I’ve tried and it didn’t work and burn LARGE holes in my pocket. Don’t ask me to go for gene therapy coz it’s impossible.
Today Mom cooked a humungous pot of herbal black bean soup. At dinner time, she served me a large bowl of it - so much you could feed a family.
Anyway, since it was really nice and not wanting to hurt Mom’s feelings, I gulped it all down. I thought I was drowning in herbal black bean soup inside. Suddenly I felt two eyes on me. I looked up to see Dad staring at me and the big bowl.
“What?” I said, putting down the bowl and went to lie down on the sofa just in case my stomach burst with pressure sitting upright.
“You’re not going to eat the beans?” asked Dad.
“I can’t. I’m too full. I feel bloated.”
“Are you sure?”
“You can have them if you want.”
“They’re good for your health.”
“I don’t want.”
“Gives you soft, smooth skin.”
“Never mind.”
“Nice complexion.”
“No.”
“No more blackheads, whiteheads, spots on your face”
*Shake head vigorously*
“Tsk tsk tsk. I’ll take it then. You don’t know how to appreciate good stuff.” Dad concluded while getting up from his armchair and reached out for the big bowl of black beans dry of its soup.
And left me thinking… Since when black beans have such magical advantages? Dad sure has his way to get me to do something I don’t want to. Hee… smart, but oops, he failed again :p
In my opinion, Pringles are one of the most addictive junk food I’ve tasted, especially when eaten in a group. Why is that so? Well, somehow, those crispy flakes of potato chips are seasoned with tons of MSG (monosodium glutamate) which just keeps me craving for more. When eating it in a group, it will only be minutes before it’s half gone. Not to mention the silent competition to eat quicker and faster so that you can have another piece before the can is empty.
It’s easy to fall in love with the irresistible taste of Pringles®. But choosing a flavor? Now that’s the hard part. With so many delicious varieties, you’ll want to try them all. No matter which one you decide to pop, one thing’s for sure—the fun won’t stop!~ www.pringles.com
According to the official website, there are over 13 flavours of Pringles. My favourite flavour thus far is Sour Cream and Onions (green can). Second in line would be the Smoky BBQ (dark brown can). Apparently each serving of 28 grams (14 crisps) contains an average of 150 calories. One can contains about 6 servings. Goodness me, that means I am capable of consuming 3 servings (42 crisps) in one sitting. That makes 450 calories in 10 minutes. Not to forget the extreme thirst I get after binging on that many crisps.
Evil.
Pringles are evil.
Addictive and totally bad for health.
Yet, I simply love it, and crave for more.
:P
Cooking room-made ramen is easy…
All you need is a packet of ramen, some extra ingredients (vegetables, eggs), a cooking pot and a hot plate/portable stove.
1. Chop up as much vegetables as you can eat.
2. Throw them all into the pot, as well as the seasonings (with water,of course) and boil them until they are soft.
3. Add the instant noodles and a hard-boiled egg if you want, and boil for another 5 minutes or so.
4. Pour it all into a bowl. Itadakimasu!
What is ramen? All Japanese instant noodles are ramen, right? Wrong. Not all Japanese instant noodles are ramen. Apart from instant ramen, there are instant Udon, Beef noodles, etc. Infact, those instant noodles which are ramen are the closest they can get to the original, which can only be appreaciated in specialized shops where they use fresh noodles and cook the soup from scratch. However, the instant version is fairly popular in Malaysia as the original can be rather costly to eat on a regular basis, ranging from RM 12-20, per bowl.
Ramen is a noodle dish that originated from China, where all noodles seem to have come from, and are called “Lo-Mein” in Chinese, which means boiled noodles. The Japanese then modified it and turned it into their own special dish which is popular both in and out of Japan. It’s essentially a particular type of noodle made from cereal flour, about the thickness of spaghetti, served in soups of various flavours and toppings.
I was hooked on this dish after watching the anime series Naruto, in which the main character, Naruto loves to eat ramen. The uniqueness of ramen is the differing soup bases and toppings.
Here are some of the different soup bases:
As for the toppings, the more famous ones are:
From experience, the ramen I’ve eaten so far are usually served in huge bowls, with a huge ladel known as renge. They usually serve it together with green tea, which is refillable. My friends and I love to spend hours on ends chatting after enjoying the meal and drinking tons of green tea until our bladders are full!
As for instant ramen, I’ve tried many brands, namely Nissin, Otogi, Nong Shim and Samyang and so far, my favourite is the Sutah Ramen by Samyang. I used to eat them as they were, but nowadays, I’ve learnt to add my own garnishing, such as cabbage, carrots and egg. Anyway, below is a picture of my home-made room-made ramen…
Itadakimasu!
