Chilli Crab Receipe (Uniquely Singapore)

Quintessentially Singapore, Chilli Crab is Singapore's unofficial national dish. The hard-shell crabs smothered in a zesty chilli-spiked gravy should be eaten with gusto using your hands. Mantou (Chinese buns) or thick slices of baguette are usual accompaniments for mopping up every last bit of the delicious sauce.

Ingredients:

Mixture A (Pound to a fine paste)
4 cloves garlic
10 shallots
1 piece of ginger

Mixture B (Mix in a bowl)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp vinegar
8 tbsp tomato ketchup

Mixture C (Mix in a bowl)
2 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp water
4 tbsp oil
1.5kg crabs (cleaned and cut into pieces)
1 egg (beaten)

Method:
1) Heat 4 tbsp oil in a wok and fry Mixture A for a few minutes.

2) Add crabs and 1/3 of Mixture B. Stir fry for 2 minutes over high flame.

3) Add remainder of Mixture B, stir and cover wok to simmer for 10 minutes.

4) Add Mixture C and stir well.

5) Add beaten egg in wok, mix thoroughly and serve immediately.

Kid's Friendly Hangout at Changi Airport Terminal 3

On a Happy Saturday Morning, my mom and me brought the children to Changi Airport =)
I was there to use my Sakae Card at The Pasta Shop by Sakae hehehe


My children being children, LOVES THE PLAYGROUND!!

I think this playground could have been BETTER as you can see this see saw, is not a see saw at all =S Bouncing is not allowed. Perhaps someone bounced too hard and injured him/herself. Changi Airport might wanna consider a BIGGER playground because in my humble opinion, this playground is for babies ( boring !!! )

The cool thing tho, is the Kid's Corner!!

There's a TV playing Cartoons. It helped eased my strained ears for at least 30seconds until my children starts screaming again blagh.


Then I saw a Stack of Papers
(I thought I could bring back to my office to use as rough paper LOL jus kidding)


This is soooo thoughtful of Changi Airport =)))


My children were totally focused on rubbing the crayons on the papers...
We spent a good 30mins there collecting all the different patterns.

During lunch, the PA system sounded -
"Bla bla bla... try the Segway at the Departure Hall!!!"

AND I HAD TO TRY after reading some reviews about the Segway...



Excited!!!


There was a promotion going on...
I got to try the Segway for $5 each hehehe


The cordoned off area(a little small) was carpeted and most importantly, SAFE for my young children should they fall.

However, Didi was too timid to try after witnessing the high speed one of the staff rode on. He decided against playing and stood at one corner. One of the Staff was kind enough to take care of him whilst he watch us play =P

My 5 year old was brave and I'M SURPRISED she didn't want me to stand behind her... (hai grow up liao) She was mad happy circling around the track, flaunting off her 'speed' and kept shouting at me to look at her until she stopped looking in front she CRASHED and fell off. She didn't cry though, instead she continued to roam a few more rounds until I had to tell her we had to go haha~

Photos after An Earthquake

I didn't know that Cris, a forensic scientist from Chile (an accidental molemole.sg reader) went through a shocking earthquake that measured 8.8 on the Ritcher scale. He created this video montage of damage and wrecks and msn-ed me a little while ago. I'm just so glad he's fine. We are really fortunate to live in Singapore so much so we cannot understand the pains after an Earthquake strikes and what it leaves behind. Sigh.

Sneak Peek at my New Blog Design

awfully cute peek

I sought the help of Dayna from http://amourchaleur.com/portfolio/web-designs to help me design a new blog skin/layout. I love her blog~~~ I cant wait to see the entire new design of this blog =)

The Pasta Shop - By Sakae

I've always been a big fan of Sakae Teppanyaki because:
1) Affordable
2) Delicious
3) Affordable
4) Delicious

Until I found out... SAKAE SERVES PASTA TOO!!!


Changi Airport Terminal 3

In a chic corner with splendid colors splashed across the walls on Level 3 of the Changi International Airport Terminal 3, I was excited at what kind of pastas Sakae have to offer. The chairs were initially fun to sit in but it became a little annoying when I was swirling unnecessarily. But I still loved spinning around wee (when I''m not eating la)!!

The pastas come in cooked in wide selection of sauces and creams.


And of course, you can get your regular refillable Organic Green Tea at $1.09


Corn Soup ($7.90) - Rich and creamy with kernels of corn =) Love
Kinoko (Mushroom) Soup ($7.90) - Was a little too watery but flavorful still
Edamame ($2.90) Renkon Chips ($5.90) and Potato Wedges ($5.90)


Kinoko (mushroom) Pasta ($12.90)


Soseiji (sausage) Pasta ($14.90)



Ebi (Prawn) Spinach Pasta ($15.90)

If you do not like the taste of garlic just like me, you can gently request for all of your Pastas to be cooked without Garlic. =) The prices are affordable and the portions served is about medium-large. Must check out the Pasta Shop by Sakae!

Watching the 82nd Academy Awards Live in Golden Village

I woke up at 7am on Monday to attend the screening of the 82nd Academy Awards Live at the Golden Village Grand at Great World City Oscars party champagne breakfast event. The dresscode was Glamorous and Glitz, so I wore a black dress. I THINK I didn't look too bad except... I FORGOT TO TAKE A PHOTO OF MYSELF blagh. I think it was too early because I was actually 'sleep walking' through out. muahahaha

I think GV should host more of such events... I'm sure people will pay to watch the screening LIVE with a powerful surround sound system. Trust me, it is not shiok to watch it at home.

The following stars graced the event =)


Amy Cheng and Brendon Fernandez


Shan & Rozz, Mr. Jason Teo of GV


Alaric Tay and Pamelyn Chee


Co hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin rocked the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California

I'm not exactly a big fan of watching the Awards in fact, this is my first and I believe Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin saved my morning especially since it is a Monday and I'm usually Blue on Mondays =) It was hilarious watching them poke fun of everyone.
