A Week Of Feasting

Ever since Sunday, I had been eating non-stop. Last week alone, we had two successive birthdays - my maternal grandma and my youngest brother. So I had two days of feasting!

For my granny's birthday, we went to the Indonesian restaurant, Tempuah Mas, for dinner on Sunday. The food there is really delicious! I will really recommend it for anyone who wants authentic Indonesian fare. I had sambal kang kong, sweet and sour fish (at least that was what the fish tasted like - any of you know the exact name?), chicken satay, authentic Indonesian rice (which was described as "fragrant" rice), a bean curd dish which unfortunately I did not catch the name of (the bean curd was fried and layered into some sort of round wall), and for dessert - authentic Gula Melaka! I always said I have a sweet tooth. :-D

Last night (actually a few hours back), we went to one of the seafood restaurants at East Coast Park. We had black pepper crab (although I prefer chilli crab anytime), cereal prawn, oyster vegetables, anchovies (aka ikan bilis) fried rice, sweet and sour fish (again), and for dessert - honeydew sago. My dad, for the first time, even allowed me to drink a whole big glass of Tiger Beer! Hmmm, anyone salivating yet? I think I am feeling hungry again....

Then I had McDonald's for supper on Tuesday night. After that I had two Vietnamese feast earlier on today. We were at this Vietnamese eatery called "Va Va Voom" opposite Bugis Junction. I had fried Chicken Chop (which tasted very salty) with rice and Ice Lemongrass Honey drink. Delicious! The drink was really soothing, especially to the throat, and the slight lemongrass taste made the honey taste even better than normal.

After lunch we had some time to kill so we adjourned to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Republic Plaza where I had my usual order - Pure Chocolate Ice Blended with lots and lots of whipped cream! We went back to Bugis at six, and since the friend we were meeting wanted Vietnamese food as well, we went back to "Va Va Voom" again.

We ordered the Morning Glory Salad, and this time I ate Lemongrass Pork Chop with rice. I was initially intrigued by the Morning Glory Salad, until I found out it was just kangkong without the leaves. What a letdown!

When all of us have eaten our fills, we went to Billy Bombers at Bugis Junction for Chocolate Malt. I am so full right now! I am really going to pound on all the pounds if this continues. Most likely we will go out for supper again tomorrow. I have a tendency to put on weight, although it is amazing I can still maintain my weight and figure despite my eating habits. I cannot help it - I enjoy good food too much!
