2012 Birthday Celebration #2

We had dinner with my family in TST on July 28.I decided to make a last minute change in the venue as I was attracted by the ketchup squeeze bottles. We got the table so quickly, so we started drawing on the plate with ketchup.
Again, we forgot to take pictures with my sisters!! By the way, sister's friend Allen gor gor and his wife were sitting just next to our table. What a coincidence.

Brunch on my last holiday

Following Apple Daily's cooking feature to make this. I love the creative presentation in my first sight. It's so easy to make.
May be next time I won't put cheese because it is a bit too much for the first meal of the day.

2012 Birthday Celebration #1

It's just July 27. Ah Lun cleaned up the flat on Friday when he was off. When I returned home, flowers were also waiting for me.
He got me this time as I was not prepared to start my birthday celebration so early!! I was surprised like the speechless monkey.
Well done!!

My obsession with ribbons

I love Eeyore who has a tail tied with a pink ribbon.
My obsession with ribbons has been extended to my accessory collection lately.
Yesterday, I just got the third ribbon ring from Beams Boys. Oh my god, I have 3 ribbon rings in total. The other two are from Kate Spade. Of course, I won't wear 3 ribbon rings at one time.

Typhoon number 10

Wow! Typhoon Vicente #10 is just hoisted. The heavy wind and rain just kept us busy all night. Our study room windows and my living room window let the rain to come into our house. It sucks!!

Though we could not finish up our dinner probably due to the flooding in our house, I still made an apple crumble as a desert.

I think it's quite nice. But I just need more crumble to cover up the apples. Hope I can make it better next time. Ah Lun said it is like having apple crumble in the restaurant. I am flattered on a typhoon no. 9 evening.

Good morning, Sunday!

I made myself a big breakfast as Kailan woke me up so early!! Kailan is so eager to get one bite too. Sorry, these are not good for you!
P.S. I once saw Jamie Oliver crushing the new potatoes without separating them. But I failed to make the same effect. Frustrating!

When Ms Picasso meets the legendary picasso

It was a disappointed experience as there were far too many people in the exhibition halls. People were impolite and tooooooooo talkative. Just no manner at all.

But the collection was really complete. Artwork from every period is showcased.

I personally think people come not because they love Picasso art. Most of the people just came to take a picture in front of the Picasso poster. I don't know how people feel, I feel sick of people taking non-creative photos. Like photoblog's recent post, people just took a picture at the gate before their holidays. Interestingly, Ho g kong people are so dump and they just followed others to take the same picture. In the end, these pictures are really meaningless and exist without a soul.

At the Picasso exhibition, people line up to take picture at the Picasso poster......um...disgusting...,unless you have Ms Picasso in the picture.

A day without Kailan

Kailan was in hospital for 2 days because she dug out panadols from a closely sealed rubbish bin and ate two pills. I took an afternoon day off on Friday and took her to the hospital. She is required to take detox medication for two days.

It's our first time to visit a dog patient yesterday. Brand new experience!! When the hospital announced the start of visiting time, more than 30 people flocked to the first floor.

We were allowed to sit in front of Kailan's cage. When she saw us, she was really really happy. We need to calm her down because she is attached to a pipe and a machine.

After 30mins, we have to go. But the sad thing is she kept barking like crying. That's heart breaking.

When Kailan is not at home, the house feels so empty. I miss her so much that I made a toast of her yesterday. But in the end, I don't want to eat her...

I also prepared a dinner for ah Lun after making a toast. Because Kailan is not with me, I become so free and started to do all sorts of silly thing. I tried to decorate the dinner in the end. I made a girl with shrimp paste veggie as hair, and chicken as her eyes and noses

I told him that it's me. He always  to bully me, this is a good way of eating his wife!!

Latte Art Workshop (July 8)

When I worked for Sydney Tourism, we always brought media to coffee shops. I witnessed the making of latte art so long ago, so I really wanted to know how to make those lovely drawing with the silky milk foam.
7 of us joined the latte art workshop yesterday. Surprisingly, we did not use coffee to make the base. The organizer used ovaltine and chocolate as the base / canvas.
Sigh!!! No matter how we concentrate on the class and remember the steps, it's still very difficult to make one.
They taught us how to draw a heart and draw the classic leaf pattern. But we can only do that with the tutors' help. For the unsuccessful one, we can draw something on the foam with chocolate sauce. That's quite fun though. It's makes our failure sweeter.

Tutor holding my hand to make this heart. I just made it cuter by putting a face onto it. 

This is drawn especially for Ah Yea who created the cartoon of Princess Lily (脷脷公主)

The signature of Princess Lily is having two tongues. 

if we failed to make latte art, we will end up having a lot of milk foam on top. 

It will be the best time to draw on the foam with chocolate sauce.

making of... a lion 

oh my god the choco sauce is sinking

Group picture with my final product

Yeah! Group photo!

Taiwanese beef noodles in HK

Ah Lun is a beef lover, and of course he loves Taiwanese beef noodles. After Master So has introduced this shop in the TV program, we decided to visit the shop for a trial even though it's scoring in Open Rice is very low.
The food is really so-so, the beef soup was not rich enough. This is totally not authentic.
The best part is we can just park our car outside the shop. :) He loves beef but not any so-call "beef jerky" (ticket for illegal parking)
When we are about to leave Central, we saw the sky turning orange and pink. Ah Lun decided to go to Sheung Wan water promenade to take a couple of shots. But the traffic was so jammed, and we could only see the last bit of sunset after all those traffic light stops.
There were a couple of uncles taking photos there, and I started to chat with one. He showed me his great picture of the sunset. Interestingly, he was shooting close up of the sun, and lucky him, he got a plane flying in front of his photo. How wonderful.
