This time, we had our steak at Serangoon Garden's Friends @ Chomp Chomp. Unfortunately, i didn't enjoy my surf and turf. The steak was overcooked and burnt. The rest didn't mind their steaks though. Mum was the only one that didn't order steak. She ordered some chicken, and we were told by the manager that the chicken drank Yakult, and thats why its meat is extra tender hahahaha. A chicken that drinks yakult?! But true to his words, the chicken tasted super tender and was somewhat special, i'm sure they'll earn some money if they sell chicken rice with this kinda chicken!
Upon arrival
Mum and I
Kok Bin's beef ribs
Sis's Rib Eye
My surf and turf
Mum's yakult chicken haha
Thought you all might want to know which part of the beef you guys are ordering!
Upper Half
Chuck — one of the most common sources for hamburger.
Rib — Short ribs, rib eye steak.
Short Loin — from which porterhouse steaks, and filet mignon, the most tender, are cut.
Sirloin — less tender than short loin, but more flavorful.
Round — lean cut, moderately tough. Lack of fat and marbling does not allow round steak to tenderize quickly.
Lower Half
Brisket — often associated with barbecue beef brisket.
Shank — used primarily for stews and soups, but is not usually served another way, due to it being the toughest of the cuts.
Plate — produces types of steak such as the skirt steak. It is typically a cheap, tough, and fatty meat.
Flank — Long and flat, the flank steak's best known application is London Broil. One of the most affordable steaks on the market, it is substantially tougher than the loin and rib steaks, therefore many flank recipes use marinades or moist cooking methods such as braising.
Caught the movie Invisible target starring Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue and Jaycee Chan yesterday. Its full of action and i kinda enjoyed it. There were full of fighting, fisting and kicking throughout the show and they really smashed a lot of things while filming...including destroying a super cool Lotus Elise. After watching the movie, i had the sudden urge to go around swinging my legs and kicking somebody haha.
There's a misconception that watching Hong Kong movies are a waste of money since their DVDs will out on sale in stores only days or weeks after the movie release. But come on unless you have the same big screen and sound system in the cinemas there's no way you will enjoy the movie as much as in the cinema. Not to mention, watching DVDs at home you tend to be distracted by one thing or another once in awhile thus disrupting your show whereas you put in your 100% attention in the movies sometimes not even bothering to reply an sms. Enough said!
Woke up at 5.30am this morning to get ready for my Mizuno Wave Run 2007. It was pouring outside then and i was wondering if the event will be cancelled. It was so tempting to just continuing lying down in bed to sleep but nope i didnt! Eventually got up, washed up, got ready and met Philadel who came to fetch me. It was still raining while we were on our way there. Fortunately, the rain eventually simmered and stopped just on time before the flag-off of the run. Frankly speaking, it wasn't a well organised run...it was quite screwed up in fact. Other than the water logged tracks which wasn't their fault, they issued bottled water at water points (people drank about 1/5 of the bottle and threw the whole bottle away..can't expect them to carry their bottle and carry on running right?!), inefficient baggage handling and there was also an inefficient way of distributing the goody bags. It eventually resulted in a super duper long queue and very frustrated people haha. Proud to say though, i completed the 10km under an hour (56mins to be exact) but my ego was dented when some small girl go on stage for coming in top 10 in her category..she clocked 46mins haha.
The route today!
After the run, the 3 of us went to Ikea Tampines for a well deserved lunch. I had 15 meatballs and 2 chicken wings hahaha. After a short walk around Ikea, we decided enough was enough..we needed to rest. Here i am..off to bed now. ;)
Swedish Meatballs!
Chicken wings!
Wooh!
