Singapore Food Festival!!!

Hello!

Yesterday was the successful Singapore Food Festival in umich! =) XW, GL, Kevin and I helped Ted cook Nasi Lemak... Gosh was that tough..xP But yay! We sold out within like, one hour.=) =) =) Hehe.

Let's see. The rice was tough to get right because of the proportions but! I did the damn ikan bilis and peanuts and chilli which was.. awful to say the very least. I am never deep-frying again unless absolutely necessary. Like a life-and-death kind of situation. Do you know how many times we got splattered by hot oil thanks to the refusal of the ikan bilis to dry?!!?!! (T_T) Oh! And I did all the omelettes with Kevin/GL cracking and whisking them for me.=D =D =D I must say, it's super fun to make omelettes and very very easy once you have a brilliantly hot pan and enough oil.=)

Our display plate for the stall:

I think it looks quite good.. And everyone loved the ikan bilis and peanut mixture.=) Freshly roasted peanuts are really yummy! And Kevin is the Peanut King. Hahaha. And I must say that my frying skills are not too bad even if I did scream a lot.xP

I am now convinced that I never want to open a food stall selling nasi lemak though.. I'll go crazy frying eggs, ikan bilis and chilli. But when I was frying the ikan bilis and peanuts, it was great fun stealing bits to "taste".xD xD xD

Our sign that is dying to fly away!

All of us in our bright red T-shirts proclaiming us part of the Food Festival.

Our stall!!! I was at ballroom before the food festival so I was late and couldn't take a picture of the stall with food. xP Sigh. And now my feet are hurting like crazy from the horrible ballroom shoes.xP

Even though we kept stealing food from other stalls [it's great having friends manning neighbouring stalls.=D =D =D], XW, Kevin and I were still a bit hungry so we went to China Gate to get takeaway Chinese food!

AHH! SO CUTE!!!

I was so excited to see those umm.. Chinese takeaway boxes.xD xD xD SO CUTE! Hehe! So I was like, omg! We should buy Chinese takeout more often!!!

Sadly, the food doesn't look good at all.. And it wasn't very good either.. As XW kept saying.. Once you've eaten at TK Wu [and Asian Legend] here, nothing else tastes nice. O well. At least it wasn't too expensive?

O yes! When we came back from Holland, we went to eat at Lucky Kitchen:

It was half-decent to be perfectly honest ... Not too bad considering I assumed the place would serve horrible food. Haha.=P But YAY. VEGETABLES. Look at it! VEGETABLES! I am having withdrawal symptoms from not having enough proper, nice, cooked vegetables. It is SO SAD.

And the cupcakes we carted back from Rachel's house.^_^

Wee! Such accomplishments we made yesterday.^_^ I'm so proud of everyone for making nasi lemak and must thank Ted for promising to lend us his house for further cooking endeavours! xD

cheers

[food : Don't make me look at nasi lemak again for at least a few months.xP But I want to eat ikan bilis!!!]

Jiamin: WHAT?!

Fel: You see.. It's one thing for there to be tons of apples around the US but in Michigan, Fall is apple season but it's almost over because some places didn't have a good harvest.

YX: Yes! I told Jianxin before. Haha. And she was like, you know her?? Haha.=D
