Cereal and Yogurt


Post Cereal and Farmers Union Yogurt
Eating Yogurt after my workout has been almost a daily affair (minus away the weekends). I eat not for its health benefits, but for I really like it! So I calculated... $2 a cup (Pink Yogurt student's cup) for 5 days a week and that comes down to $10 for yogurt a week! Gee... So I decided to save some money by buying my own Yogurt and cereal instead. hehe.


Whole Grains, Pecans, Granolas and a tiny slice of Pineapple. Mashed the whole bowl of stuffs into a mess and let it turn soggy... i like it this way! :) But Pink Yogurt is still nicer leh... This Farmers Union Yogurt taste is too sourish... What can I add to neutralise the over-powering sourish taste?!?

Expiry date is on the 25th! Think I got to eat it like every day liaos... lol.

Yogurt has a lot of health benefits... calcium, good bacteria, source of protein (and some fats of cos)... and i think there is more... i dunno liao... that's all i know!

But why do i choose this instead of other brands... which are Low Fat Yogurt. This is because, other than the fact that I like this for it has a thicker texture (not the thickest thou), Low Fat Yogurt comes at a price... Low Fat = Higher Sugar. Don't Believe? Next time when you make a trip to the market, do make an additional effort to look at the nutritional value =)

Sandwich Shop - Where sandwich meets the eye

Smoked Turkey Sandwich @ $7.80 packed in a convenient take-away box. The shop's layout is of that of a supermarket, whereby one just choose what they want from the shelves of sandwiches, and payment is made at the cashier. These take-away boxes pack 2 slices of sandwiches, and the filling really fills you up, and there is a cherry tomato at accompanying it to make it look healthier, i presume. lol. At a price of $7.80, it is rather steep for an everyday lunch.

The bread is dense which i like, and the portions of greens and meats are just nice. One must love tomato ketchup to enjoy this sandwich for they squirt lots of ketchup in it.

Apple and Muesli Yogurt Pots @ $3.80 - This is not those frozen icey kind of yogurt, i like it. Similar to the texture of Pink Yogurt... But i still prefer Pink's.

Good Bye 2008 Hello 2009 Dinner

The last meal of the year was spent at my friend's place - a Potluck gathering!
Gone is 2008 and better years ahead... i hope!

Introduction of the food... *not arranged in order of merits =)*

Appetizers by me n her! Ham with Feta Cheese and herbs, and Crabmeat with Crab Roe Spread. It could have been better is this was served cold!

Salami and Feta Cheese... I ate most of my own creation... lol.

Mashes Potatoes by LL n F - I did not eat this, cos potatoes are very filling!

Cold Dish - Prawn and mixed fruits cocktail by LL n F - This is nice... I like the how the sweetness of the fruits (underneath the prawns) go with the prawns...

Bai Jiu by CJ - This harmless looking bottle of wine is lethal! 53% alcohol >> than martell or XO... One sip is enough for me... in fact... enough for most of us actually.

Belachan Chilli Sotong and Scallops by YT and his other half - This thing burnss! Vvery spicy... but the spiciness is so shiok that i think i finished like more than half of it while others simply avoid it after the first try... lol. The sotong is so Q... Fury but shiok!

Hawaiian and Supreme Pizza from Pizza Hut by CC - As usual... pizza is always a hit... I have not eaten pizza from P.hut for ages!

Wardolf Salad by GJ n gf - I ate most of these... but was very selective... looking for the area with more walnuts and raisins... lol.

Sherperds Pie by JJ n Gen - The layered Beef and potatoes are so appealing... I like the burnt part at the top and the layers of beef... The mashed potatoes are hand whipped!

Fruit Tarts by Gen n JJ - The only fruity stuff in the whole potluck... nice

Chicken Nuggets by Darius... and...

Ketupat, onions and cucumber by him too... for...

the Satays!

Chicken Wings and drumlets... Famous one from Toa Payoh... Think it would even taste better when it is hot and freshly bbqed!


I dunno what is this thing called.. It looks like Rojak, but only got Tau Pok.. so I call this Taupokjak! I was slurpping the peanuts bits with the sauce... how sinful can this be...

And it ends with a lovely ice cream by Jeff - Nestle Crunch Ice Cream - First time eating it... and It reminds me of BnJ with all the chunky chunks. Vanilla Ice Cream and chocolate flavoured ice cream with chocolate coated rice crispies, with layers of hardened chocolate..and hence the crunch.




HELLO 2009!
