Our theme was Crazy Rich Asians and someone think that a loanshark is rich enough. First performers were a group of LED drummers. Wanted to take a walk after the dinner but the…

Trying the plant-based luncheon meat | 尝试植物肉午餐肉😎 Bought this plant-based luncheon meat some time ago. Decided to open and try It on Sunday. It looks OK. Not quite like the real thing though. Sliced it up and didn’t feel like the real thing too. Of course luncheon meat needed to be fried. Who fancy unfried luncheon meat any way? It took a few rounds of frying in the airfryer for a few minutes but it still didn't get some of the crisp I wanted. To me, it tasted OK. To the…
2nd visit to Old Shifu was disappointing | 第二次去老师傅令人失望😎 My first visit was in December. It's been raining a lot and I thought I'll go for some porridge on Monday.
