Aussie Spit Roast

Been arrowed for having a jap food blog *flick at mei*... so here's some aussie party photos to break the jap trend.

Had a aussie spit roast party to celebrate our installed wharf modules shipped all the way from Batam. well.. wat's a spit roast? its acutally a whole pig on a spit, or say legs of lamb or butts of beef, skewered on a spit, slowly revolving over gas/charcoal and roasted to perfection.

Party was held at Wickham OB's Club ... Wickham's the nearest town to our site, 10 mins dwn the road (by car) OB = Old bastard's.... no no no.. i'm not kidding haa.. pretty cool wacky name for a club rite~
Jus to show it a REAL name... there u go.. Bartender proudly wearing the Clubshirt.

Dress standards... "Shout" in aussie slang means "Its your treat" haaa..obviously no one wore a tie that night...
Poor Piggie being marinated with herbs and salt and wat have u... massaged and patted down... all ready to be "suntan"

Placed on the spit ....piggie looks so stretched out... *i wonder how they keep the eyes closed??*

Maddy basting piggie with marinade to keep it from drying out during the roasting. Good Job!

heee.. look how yummilicious it turned out!!! pork crackling!! all nicely golden brown! guess it similar to Chinese Roasted suckling pig

These are the legs of Lamb....huge aren't they!

All well roasted....
Our chefs who nicely carved out the meat roast..

any aussie party cant be without beer.. absolutely NOT NOT NOT....
the guy on the right is actually very tall.. i reach up to his chest only.. proudly our loud and sugary marine manager..

Party starting to warm up nicely.. some pool game going on..

More drinking...... More drinking... and MORE drinking...

We had a DJ Jukebox going... dance floor starting to party up..

Party starting to go wild.....and WILD....

usually quite after a few drinks... with alcohol rumming u up... pple let loose and party full blast. usually a few crazy happenings always occur....at this... one guy even had a huge bite on his nose by another.. haa.. oh well thats e party for you !

Jap Theme Night

It was abit of a Jap craze on my trip back..this time round at Waraku Central... i like Waraku for their big yummy serving and good prices... but this night no one seemed very pleased with their orders. As usual, Waraku was packed to the max, even on a weekday nite. Atmosphere was really noisy n bustling with the servers shouting out loud Jap greetings... (it got quite annoying towards the end of the evening)

but i must say its was a great nite.. coz its been a while since 5 of us could get tog.. with 2 working in Aust.. chances like tt's rare.

Pork Katsu Set with Udon soup

My Chirashi Set with yummilicious udon soup... their soup is really good..

Mic was mystified yet impressed with her huge HUGE HUGEEEEE bowl.. (i tink i can almost sit in it!) she had a facial steam spa while working through her udon...

Yeah!! dinner's over!! dessert time!

i've always went past this popular Jap dessert place, seen it featured on tv as well.. finally got to try it that night. Its got quite a long history in Japan..the displays looks absolutely tempting!

even the menu is good!! couldn't decide what i wan!!

After some heart wrenching decisions... this was wat we ordered.. i got the sesame paste "ice kachang" topped with vanilla soft serve.. my critic? defintely looks very much better den it tastes... guess its jus another food fad... could have done with a bigger blob of saseme paste...

haa ohh and Rac's vanilla softee n grilled sweet potatoe with green tea syrup toppled over in 5 secs after being served!! we had to rescue it!!

probably will be next year b4 we can get a shot of 5 again!

Part time "Taitai" career

My lemon fruity crush... refreshing and tangy

Here's a taitai wanabes...

Defintely Miss having my frens around..

Privacy.... whats that??

I’ve always known that internet was a very very powerful search tool and I would also proudly declare that I cant possibly live without internet (sad reality but true). Street directories, latest news, weather, buddies blogs, latest shopping craze, restaurants, carpark rates… the list is endless.. .

but I got a wake up call last nite - internet being so powerful that nothing really stays private anymore.

Was having dinner with my frens… chatting about stuff and came to a point when my fren mentioned that he knows that I’ve done a traffic management study before and that I got first in canoeing last time with a timing of 2 mins something…. and he got this all off the net!! Pretty shocking eh… I was like #@$&*$...

well I need to highlight that he is highly tuned into gossips.. I secretly think he thrives on gossips …

I must say I’ve never googled me b4.. never crossed my mind coz I probably never had the need to research more info about myself and also never had the curiosity to find out if I can ever be googled…so this morning I done it.. googled meself… and I realised there’s quite a few others same named people as me. Found a uni thesis that I’ve done donkey years ago as well… buried deep in the zillions tons of info on net.

Welcome to the future world. Privacy takes on a whole new meaning. That will be something to ponder on….

Whirlwind Affair with Mr F

its been a crazy whirlwind week... with many affairs with Mr Food... stuffin myself to the max.. haa.. b4 i head back to ulu land... had quite a few dosages of japanese food... yummy.. love them!

this was one of the dinners at Kuriya... with my dad and sis... our initial plan was to go Iganiku at Swissotel.. supposedly one of the top jap restaurants in Spore..dad had disc fr raffles club but my knees weakened when i saw the prices.. set menus start from $100 per person.. thats the cheapest set.. i'm not a huge gourmet foodie person.. unlike my older sis (splurgin on food is her destresser)... so din tink it was worth it.. thus convinced my dad to try a more economical jap place... so ended up at Kuriya.

i'd leave Mr Iganiku for next round!! :)

We ordered 2 sets inbtw 3 of us... and portions were just nice.. (probably not enough if you are big eaters) Yummilicious as it comes with starters, mains, desserts and coffee. :)

I'm defintely a happy gal nw !

on a last note.. i'm really impressed with the service at Kuriya.. not much prompting needed.. after being deafened at Waraku Central (hope u gals have recovered!!) .... impeccable service! thummies up!

Leaving home... AGAIN...

flying off again... leaving my home for another home...
got the 9am flight out... as meimei says.. i missed out on the Spore Olympic Team homecoming party.. shucks..

Usual routine.. after checking in, went to tabao some nibbles, made my way to the lounge at T1...

quiet morning...pretty deserted, jus a few angmohs around..


grabed a wake-me-up caffine shot..read aussie papers...


bought some DFO liquer n ciggies as according to my "singapore shopping order"
pretty dreary sight of the plane haa.. i realised i spend 2 days in a month sitting on planes .. doing a quick maths.. thats like 48 days in 2 years spent sitting in planes.. gosh!!! thats a pretty long time to be sitting in planes... sigh.. tink lugging my bags around the airports is starting to wear me out a bit.. :P

On a happier note.. i'm back in my 1st home... in the ulu land...its pretty weird but i kinda miss my bed n pillow here haaa.. gd snuggle tonite! :)

ohh.. have heaps of photos to load up!! all the yummy foodie outings with the gals haaa.. *drooling*
