:+: New Year's Eve's Eve :+:

A lil celebration for the coming New Year over at my aunty's house.

After the superb dinner, we had some wine and cakes from Coffeebean. We got both Tiramisu and Chocolate Cheese cakes.

I don't like the Tiramisu at all. It's just thick layers of cakes and small amount of cream cheese which tastes like orange. yerkkkzz..

At least the Chocolate Cheese cake saves the night from the Tiramisu NIGHTMARE.. It's very rich in its chocolatey and it's cheeseyness = YUMMY! Each mouth of this just easily dance around in your mouth. It's sooo smooth and creamy. Just the perfect types of cheese cake i Loved.

P/S: I will never get Tiramisu from Coffeebean ever again. =/

:+: Naruwan Special :+:

What a special day...

It's just one of those days I get to sit in Angel's ride. ~^.^~

Met up with ahGe and Lionel at RH Plaza. We decided to have lunch at Naruwan Special.

Naruwan Special is one of the sorta standard cafe shop. The price for their food and drinks are average cafe price.

ahGe's Ham Fried Rice

Angel's Crab Fried Rice

The Fried Rice is very nice. In foochow, we normally say 'cha eh kau', meaning that it's fried good enough with the right fire. =/ Doesn't sound right. What I'm trying to say is.. err.. It's delicious. =) My 'philisophy' of a good fried rice : "The eggs should be cooked not wet and raw plus, the rice is not 'over-fried', no burnt smell from the wok, distributes the salt and pepper evenly without having one part of the rice tasting F. salty, not too much vege and meat; rice is the main character here, and definitely no freaking Ajinamoto!! So artificial. Original taste is very nice and fresh."

Lionel's Butter Chicken Rice

Jit's Sweet and Sour Fish Rice

My 'Ma Lak Mien' / Spicy Sauce Noodles

ahGe ordered 'Wuo Tieh' / Dumplings

I didn't finished my noodles. See how much OIL in there.
Satisfaction: Fail
