More to life

It was a day planned to baked chocolate crinkles in a slightly different way.
There's JT's version and VG's version :)
I guessed I baked better since his crinkles' dough was a tad 'abnormal'. Hahaha!
And the crinkles he baked were dry and very bitter 'cause he cut down the sugar used by 50%.
And he and his mum had this idea of adding honey to it but it ended up 'spoiling' the dough somehow due to chemical reaction ?
I don't know. It's weird.
But I know VG's version is better :D


I didn't know those 'gold strips' look so striking till now.


Crinkles made with love :D


The last tray of dough waiting to be baked


I went for a dinner with JT's family and relatives at Long Beach.
Dinner was sumptuous !
Have to thank JT's relative for the treat :)



First thing up was shark fin's soup but I felt bad drinking it 'cause of the tragic way those sharks die - sinking into the sea and left to die with no fins.

Cereal prawns :)


This chicken dish tastes unlike any other


JT's family - That's his sister and parents.


Most expensive dish of the night - Alaskan crab


Fried TouFu with Pork Floss


I finished up the crab roe (damn sinful!) 'cause no one else eat this stuff.
The little cousin wants to bring it home and the staff there was very helpful to help her wash this


KangKong :)


This looks like one expensive bowl of horfun (in reality)


Just like any kids in this world, we'd go look at the 'seafoods'

2 lobsters against 1 poor crab


Geoduck


We ate your relative just now :D



Rainbow lobster


Smooching lobsters, wow

Home sweet home right after dinner :)

I told JT that I want to learn to bake/cook more dishes.
Somehow, I do love to cook and bake :)
Perhaps that's where I want to head to in future - in the kitchen not the office.
If things work out well, I might be able to become a cook! :D
We shall see ...
