Family time + yummy food!

Just finished Specials Week 1 (Dermatology) so am just chilling out in my room for the weekend. Went for lunch in Hahndorf with Jeremy, Joanne and Clara yesterday. The first thing that comes to my mind when I go there is huge-ass platters of sausages and pork. And mustard. And more pork. Anyway.... I've kinda gotten over that initial homesick + depressed phase. I need to look ahead now! I forsee big headaches abound for internship applications and graduation. Also am planning to get a car. But being someone who knows nuts about cars (don't even know how to change oil for God's sake!), that's going to be a challenge.

Planned to put these photos up earlier, but my sister beat me to it. I'm still going to post them anyway. Here are some photos of the good times during my summer holidays. Seafood lunch with my family Greenview Restaurant. Overall it was quite good, the salted egg yolk crab was heavenly! Now if only I could find some live mud crabs in the Central Market...


The way they tie up mud crabs is so cute! It must take some skill and creativity to do this. On a side note, *PLEASE FEED & PLAY WITH MY PET CRAB, KAM HEONG! He's located at the top left column of my blog.*

Papa and Mummy.

My youngest sister, Yi Lynn and I.


My dad's favourite vegetable: sweet potato leaves.

Fried crayfish!

...and the salted egg yolk crab.

Ye olde Crab Mallet.


A few days before my flight back to Adelaide, Papa decided to take us Sango at Crystal Crown Hotel for dinner. Sango is one of the best Japanese Restaurants I've ever been too. I remember the last time we went there, Papa got us a private room and the chef cut out the THICKEST, freshest SLABS of sashimi I've ever seen. Absolutely delicious. This time, we ordered more of the set meals instead. Still good, though. Too bad their famous chicken wings were sold out. My other sister, Kah Men wasn't around for this dinner either! Poor Kakh. But she's now in Japan for a WHOLE YEAR. So I'm sure you're having the time of your life there right, Kakh?




I'd love to try some good sake one day. ^_^








These are Japanese burnt rice balls. I was really surprised 'cos they tasted really good! I wanna try making these sometime soon.

Grilled Shishamo. These were all pregnant fish stuffed full of eggs (hence they'd be called komochi shishamo? Correct me if I'm wrong). They are usually cooked and eaten whole. This is one of my favourites next to Sashimi and Ikura.

Feast your eyes and be hungry.
