Cooking Guide for Nintendo DS

Oh this isn't an advertisement (although I admit I am an NDS and Wii fan), but I came across this quirky software for the Nintendo DS that looks really interesting. PS: watch out for the "Hainanese Chicken Rice" recipe!! :D

Fun with Origami: Yaki-Nori Style!

I know it's not polite to play with your food, but sometimes it's ok to have... just a little fun. (:

Fold a Bento Box with Yaki-Nori and add rice in!




Or even the popular Traditional Crane!!



Do you think even this is possible? ;)

...Try it yourself!

Special: Hospital Food

As promised... the post that will surely motivate you to keep fit and stay away from the hospital!!

...Just kidding! The food's ok if you're not staying in the ward for too long. After all, any delicacy will taste boring after a while. ;)

Of course, the first food that comes to mind for patients is naturally, Porridge! This looks like the plainest congee you've ever seen, no? Actually, it's pretty ok with a dash of pepper and some re-heating.



One of the better Chinese Breakfasts on the menu. I prefer Bee Tai Mak to the Kway Teow.

But who says there's no meat on the menu?



Look! Chicken Chop and Mashed Potato for Western lunch! Oh did I mention on lucky days, you get mashed potato for breakfast, mashed potato for lunch and mashed potato for dinner? But honestly speaking, it's pretty OK.

They do serve Fish and Chips, Fried Noodles, Potato Wedges and Sandwiches sometimes. Especially on days when the kitchen forgets dietary restrictions. But honestly, I would rather eat these somewhere else.. :/

Super-long Hiatus!! :(

Sorry to everyone reading this blog for the ultra-long hiatus of more than one week! Unfortunately, XY was warded at hospital for a week, and following the discharge on Sunday, the computer gave no output to the screen! Meaning that the screen will be blank until the technicians arrive. Until then, please do bear with me! Your patient wait will be rewarded with...

HOSPITAL FOOD!!

..Haha someone in the forum suggested I blog hospital food, and I did take some very unappetizing photos. I will reveal the biggest reason why you must take good care of yourself (be an orthorexic!!) and never land yourself in hospital, ...so watch this space!!

P.s. In case you're wondering, I'm using my Dad's Computer!!
