Meeting my long lost friend
Posted under Personal at 5:26 pm 0 comments Post a Comment

Met with my old best friend, Elaine today. I have known her for 17 years. We went to same secondary school, same high school and eventually same university which is NTU. We stayed in the same hostel, studying the same course and even doing Final Year Project together. So you can imagine how much time that both of us has spent.

 

Unfortunately 2 years after graduation, she moved back to Indonesia for good.
She is happily married and currently stay in Bali. It has been almost 5 years since I saw her, so I was very excited to know that she is in Singapore now.
 

We had a good lunch together, talked about old days. It was very fun ! Wish we can even spend more time together… there's just so much things to catch up with each other :)

 

Here's a photo of us after lunch.

 

 

 

 

Who was your best friend in school? Do you still remember him/her?
Well, here's a quote about friendship

 

“Good friends must not always be together;
It is the feeling of oneness when distant That proves a lasting friendship.”

B. Prawn :)

 

 
 
I don't eat Mutton, Beef, Pork, Duck, etc. It's not because of I am a vegetarian nor religion things. I can actually eat everything, but it just that I don't really like the 'meaty' kind of taste and texture, that's why most of the time I eat just seafood or a little bit of chicken.

 
 
My husband always says that I missed all the good food in the world.. but I respectfully disagree, because I just think that seafood (especially prawn and crab) taste so much better than meat (and it is definitely healthier also)

 
 
So, today I decided to share with you more about my favorite prawn dish.
 
 
 
Best things that I have had so far:
 

1. Shrimp steamed in beer with garlic @ Bubba Gump

 

This is my favorite one even until today. Available at Bubba Gump. Best shrimp I ever taste. I first knew it during my trip to Hawaii in 2006. The shrimp steamed in beer to tender perfection and served with aromatic Bubba Gump’s garlic spice. Excellent !! I really missed it a lot, but too bad still didn't manage to have it again because most of the Bubba Gump Restaurants are located in US. The nearest one to Singapore is in Bali. Maybe this year I will make a trip there :)

 

 

2. Cereal Prawn

 

My favorite cereal prawn is the one sold at one of the seafood restaurant at Paris Ris Pond. (I can't remember the name of the place, my secretary recommended it to me few years back)

 

 

3. Steamed prawn with garlic sauce @ No Sign Board

 

Wow!! I just had this today for dinner. I was eating at No Sign Board, my all time favorite seafood restaurant. The prawn is just so fresh !

 

 

4. Cold Water Prawn @ Ikea

 

It is fresh and sweet (and sour, if you squeeze the lemon on top of it). You must eat it while it is still cold, fresh from the fridge. Every time I go to Ikea, I surely MUST have this meal.

 

 

5. Prawn Satay @ Lau Pa Sat

 

.

 

Although it cost $2 per stick, but I just can't stop eating it. My favorite stall is the satay stall no 3 & 4.

 

 


6. Salted egg prawn @ Crystal Jade

 

 

Super delicious. The coating its actually the yolk of the salted egg. So yummy !!

 

 

Haha.. writing this post make me feel so hungry :) I guess I better go to sleep right now. In the mean time, if you know some good eating place that sell super yummy shrimp / prawn dishes, do let me know, okie :)
