Frozen Bananas

What would you do if are home alone for the next 1 week

and you have a whole bunch of freshly riped bananas (Del Monte) lying on the table, but it is impossible to finish everything in one go, or rather, you do not wish to finish everything in on go.


and if you wait for a few more days... it will turn to...

rotten bananas!




so what i did was to peel all the bananas and freeze them in the freezer!

and here you are... Frozen Bananas!

This was experimental, and surprisingly, it taste quite good! It taste like banana ice cream if you ask me to describe it... cold and chewy... chew and chew until it melts! Expecially when this few days the weather is soooo hot... this is a good snack to snack on...it cools you down.

PLUS

this is definitely a good snack after your run or workout to replenish ur carbs!

Actually my intention was not to eat it as it is (frozen). I have another use for it...




Stay tuned!

Buffet @ Grand Copthorne Hotel - Good Food, Good Company

Just only last than one month ago, I had buffet... now I'm having buffet again! But this time it is so much nicer than the previous buffet!

5 pairs of yin & yang at Cafe Brios


Live section whereby the chef cuts you a super yummlicious sirloin, then follow by salad bar and then OYSTERS!!!

Pretty looking desserts, fruits for the healthy people!, and ice cream for the unhealthy!

Cheese Counter!!! For me! Cheese lovers will be so delighted... One of them is Jersey Gold which is made from Jersey cow of course... which has high fat content! No wonder this is the best cheese in my opinion... some fishy stuffs, masala?

There's a lot of Chinese dishes and Indian dishes which was not captured. Does not interest me... and is not very healthy la...... im a health nut... yayaya.

eh? Cheese counter again? Live section for some chinese soup noodles... Sotong...




Now for the interesting part!

Everything was shared with my gf horrr... So pls don't think I am a glutton! although still alot... Hungry ma! Cos i went to the gym in the morning at 7am before the buffet!

These are my post-workout meal! Super high protein lor! lol


Appeitisers : Very fresh Tuna and Salmon

Cheese Stix with Cheese = Cheesy Cheese stix!
Gold Jersey my favourite cheese, Fruit Cheese which is my second to Jersey Gold, Blue Cheese, and some wierd wierd unknown cheese.

Rojak Platter of Tuna, Sotong, Yu Sheng, Baked Char Siew Pau, Quiche, Har Kow and Chicken stuffed with raisins. I like the quiche in cafe brios! Alot of chunky fillings with a strong taste of custard.

Sirloin cut by the chef, Quite thick, and it is roasted not grilled... so healthier! yeah. Turkey Ham... another healthy choice... The white cubes on the top of the picture is actually Goat cheese... and it does not suit my taste.

Another plate of Sirloin for my gf... with cheese stick? haha. The black cube thing on the left is braised Beef ribs, very nicee and soft... but ribs is quite unhealthy... in fact... ribs from any animals are... fat...ty.

Time to whack the Oysters! Oysters with Tabasco and lemon is mine. Oysters with no tabasco and little lemon is my gf's. eeks. Mussels is quite nice with carrots and some spices stuffed inside.

Tuna and Salmon and Smoked Salmon!

And the star of the plate is Tiger Prawns and the not so big prawns... Can I tell you how juicy and fresh and HUGEEEE they are! one plate is never enough... Anyway This plate is so healthy lor...
Everything is high in protein, close to zero carbs and zero fats... (that is if you dun suck of the disgusting Prawn head)... and salmon has omega 3!

and again...

and again... i told you... one plate is not enough!

The soup... is ok. The chicken stuffed with raisin is nice. The fish thingy is ok. The huge chunk of meat there is actually satay... instead of minced satay, this is a huge chunky piece of satay... unminced that is.

Halfway... I am missing the cheese again...


Creme Brule is nice... very creamy and the vanilla taste is very niceee... Then there is also Kiwi Umeya, Mango moose, Chocolate cake is very rich...

there is also more cakes, cheese cakes... and other unknown cakes not captured as well.



All in all... it was a nice meet up... and nice food...


that's it! byebye Cafe Brios.

gotta study for German test, that is tomorrow!

Happy Valentine's Day - My Flower simply beats 101 rose


Happy Valentine's to all!

Instead of spending a bomb on 101 roses


I have a better idea.

I still remember a few years back, my prof for General Biology asked a question. Why do guys give roses during Valentine's Day? Why not just give ladies a bouquet of Broccoli

since every small stumbs that you see on a broccoli is a flower by itself. That easily adds up to more than a few thousands flowers.

Broccoli - You win.
