One Lazy Sunday

We went biking. It’s one of the things i would rather do than going to the mall to spend my weekend.

 

We ‘people watched’.

 
Families spending quality time with each other.

 
Father and daughter bonding moments.

  
saw several exercise junkies…

including ‘Uncle’ who walked back and forth along the shoreline for about an hour.

We discovered a new place to hang out.

 

 
They serve enormous size of steak. It wasn’t that good but not that bad.

I love lazy Sundays specially when we get to spend our OWN quality time together.

Reward thyself

Yesterday i had no breakfast, no lunch. Work was toxic as usual. I was so tired and hungry. I knew right then and there that I MUST and I WILL have to reward myself with a sumptuous DINNER no matter what happen. I was already starving at 4pm but I resisted eating small snacks because it would ruin my appetite (bad, i know). And because I didn't want to eat dinner alone I waited for Leng until 7:30 pm.

To save money without sacrificing our love for food, we have this unwritten rule to "not to eat in an expensive restaurant twice in a week. When I say expensive, i mean the is bill more than 10sgd. So most of the time you can find us in eating in KOPITIAM or Food Hawkers. But last night eventhough we've already had our expensive dinner last Wednesday, I was able to convinced Leng to eat again in Hot Tomato Express. How? I just told him that I would foot the bill.

Hot Tomato Express, is a small American Italian restaurant in Plaza Singapura. It's also one of our favorite place to eat aside from Hongkon Cafe. I have not tasted all their specials but so far i liked everything I had-American Beef Stew, Spring Chicken and my new favorite Sirloin Steak which was what I had last night (with rice of course!).

Yummy Steak

Roasted Chicken, I kid you not it's only 7.50 Sgd

Our dessert. my reward

I can't live without RICE! and bow...

Burger Steak and Odor in our cabinet

I love Jollibee's burger steak. Back home in the Philippines it's my second best favorite fastfood lunch next to chowking's beef Braised Beef. So last night I decided to make Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Sauce. It didn't taste like Jollibee's but it was close enough. And it had lots of mushroom which is Laleng's favorite. I got the Mushroom Sauce recipe from Bigoven. Before whenever i make Burger Steak i used the instant Mushroom gravy from the grocery. I wasn't satisfied with the taste. I find it too "instant".

Lately i'm obsessed with getting rid of the strong musty odor in our cabinet. Who wouldn't be? It made our freshly washed clothes smell "kulob". So the other day, I started looking for solutions to this irritating household issue.

I read on Daphne Paez's blog that she uses silica gel to fight moisture in her bag and shoe storage. I thought It was a great solution my cabinet problem and to my other issue-mildew on my rarely used handbags. However, I didn't thought that silica gel would be hard to find here in Singabore. According to the SG forums that i've read it should be available in Mustafa and Carrefour. I went to both stores last Monday and unfortunately found none. So for the meantime, i bought some of these as a remedy.

moth proofer, hang it fresh from glade and
naptaline balls which i did not use (I hate the smell).

If anyone out there knows where I can buy silica gel, please please let me know.
