Convocation 2007

Finally, convocation is over. That means school is going to start in 3 days time.

The start of any new school term is always frightening. You have to find out your timetable, get new textbooks, read up for lectures etc. Finding out what to do is not the problem. The problem comes when you don't even know you need to get some things done. Nobody's going to spoon feed you. You are on YOUR OWN. This is fun. More adventures and mishaps await me. I just have to pray that I am good enough to "siam" all these nonsense.

I was quite disappointed that I could not have dinner with my FTB team mates. Almost everyone has got something on. Crap. Next time, we must send out CALL, SMS and EMAIL for triple confirmation. We must also make sure that everyone eats. Not just sit there stone and watch others eat. Lastly, everyone must be booked a month in advance. Haha. This is ridiculous.

Twinny stop playing! Ha

Cam WhoreS!

Yes I was suffering some food cravings after convocation. I just had to get my fix and Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. It has been long since I ate their black fungus fried La Mian.

I've always got a wierd way of eating Xiao Long Baos. I will always finish the XLB skin and dump the rest of the ingredient in the spoon. Next, I will finish the meat without the soup. Lastly, I'll drink the essence of the Xiao Long Bao. Woot!

Damn, it was quite pathetic eating alone and watching the rest of the SMU people having fun with their own groups.

The serving of fried noodles was larger than the norm. I took too long a time to finish the noodles. As a result, the XLB became dry. I should have asked them to serve me the XLB after finishing my noodles. It was a bad move on my part.

They have got some new Xiao Long Baos on the menu. I gonna try their hotplate XLB some day

I know how to enjoy life. I will do everything that is within my means and limits to get myself comfortable. I don't know when I am going to die. Tomorrow? Next week? 20 years later? 60 years later? God knows. I just don't want to die with regrets, especially to die missing out on all my favourite delicacies. :P

小笼包 at 黑社会

I am not kidding. The restaurant name is really 黑社会. Literally, it means secret society. It is located at the second floor of ViVo City.

This is the first of my series of 笼包传记. However to my disappointment, the Xiao Long Bao here sucks.

The jasmine tea here taste really bland. Does not even smell like jasmine. It tastes more like chinese tea. The snacks here suck. I thought it is a complimentary dish, but I was wrong. To add on to the damage, this thrash costs a bomb.





Here is the 小笼包. Irregular shape. Bad piece of work by the chef.





I dissected the 小笼包 to have a good look at the ingredients. A good 小笼包 will have plenty of soup in it. This 小笼包 is very disappointing. The soup could hardly fill up my spoon. 小笼包 at Crystal Jade and Ding Tai Fung have so much soup that most of the time, they will overflow. The meat itself taste bad. They did not grind the ginger properly. I was literally chewing on ginger bits. Yucks. Don't come here to buy anythng. The Xiao Long Bao cost $8, but in the end everything adds up to $33. Luckily my meal was paid for by someone else. Haha.
