There's a lot of oil / fat content in mooncakes. Not to mention the sugar also.Originally posted by littlestream:Wah piang, and then Bear said it was small. But mooncakes like heaty one hor? Suddenly I got pimples leh. But I eat mooncake with green tea ley. How come?
I guess too much of a good thing will have consequences, green tea or no green tea.
Go drink some liang teh!

OK, nitez ppl... Going to cook supper... - Noodles! -
They have! They have the Prima stuff in small square brown containers that are microwaveable!Originally posted by littlestream:Le boh ki jiak? You got 24/7 eh 7-eleven mah. They have Prima Taste stuff ah? Ready-to-eat stuff! There's Mee Siam, Mee Rebus, Curry Chicken with Rice, hmm... the rest I can't remember. A tad ex, compared to hawker centre fare.
They also have Dodo noodles that are in microwaveable bowls and ready-to-eat. Those are just $2 each, except for the Mee Pok, which is a bit more ex. There's Bee Tai Mak, Kway Teow Soup, Laksa (very nice, esp when you add dao geh!), and Bee Hoon Soup, all with Dodo fishballs and fishcakes.
I think I'm too tired to go out to get something to eat. Too bad no 'Leonard' to be my hero and buy me food leh!
Darnit... where are the Leonards of the world when you need them? -
Aiyoh, you cook noodles and then say good night? Wah, pai seh hor, but you what frame one? Moses Lim or Tay Ping Hui?Originally posted by sbst275:Liang Teh... Arr... Reminds me of Jia Jia Liang Teh

Jia Jia Liang Teh is too sweet if drunk without ice. They've come up with a 'less sugar' version though.
For liang teh, I think those bottled ones sold at the medicine shops are more 'potent'. -
Aiyoh, need to leave to cook right?Originally posted by littlestream:Aiyoh, you cook noodles and then say good night? Wah, pai seh hor, but you what frame one? Moses Lim or Tay Ping Hui? -
For convenience food aka TV dinners, they're pretty good!Originally posted by sbst275:Prima stuff haven't try yet
Dodo? Not nice to me though

Yeap... They have lots of varietyOriginally posted by Rhonda:Enjoy your supper, sbst!!

Oh, I remembered you make your own mooncake hor? And I did say "so clever", right? Because it is one thing I dare not venture. Just like bak chang. I wish I can make my own but also dare not. I buy the Taiwanese ones. Not bad leh. -
Anyone told you, you make a good "speaker"? I won't say sales person but you certainly convinced me to be hungry. Boy!!! I am drooling, envious and what have you nots. Argghhhh.....how come they don't have it here?Originally posted by Rhonda:They have! They have the Prima stuff in small square brown containers that are microwaveable! Ready-to-eat stuff!

But then again, heard that the place is super crowded!
As for the mooncakes, I attended a Mooncake-Making class and we all had the chance to bake our own mooncakes and bring them home. It was very very fun!
It's my dream to someday go on a culinary vacation at some culinary school / resort, where you can relax as well as attend leisurely cooking classes. Lots of vacations like that advertised by cooking schools in mags like Gourmet and Bon Appetit, have you seen them? -

The A320 was fully loaded with fuel for the flight from Burbank, CA, to New York City, and was likely at or near its Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). With most commercial airliners, the MTOW is higher than the Maximum Landing Weight (MLW). This discrepancy is typical for most passenger jets and is simply due to the structural loads the aircraft can handle. It was therefore necessary to lighten the aircraft to bring it below its certified MLW.Originally posted by Rhonda:A question - why was it necessary for the plane to circle around until fuel levels were lower before attempting to land?
It took several hours of circling to accomplish this because the A320 is not equipped with a fuel jettison valve to dump raw fuel overboard. In other words, the fuel had to be burned in the engines. If you saw the video footage of the circling A320, you would have seen that the undercarriage and flaps were extended the whole time. This was done in order to increase fuel consumption and reduce the time required to use up the fuel and lighten the aircraft.

Eh... you applied on his behalf!Originally posted by littlestream:Hee hee...........I thought MG applied for the "job"? He said he goes home to get ang pows wor. ding ding.....single and *ahem* don't know if available. He nebber apply!

Cooking schools? No. But hey, Rhonda, there is a new forum titled Singaporeans Overseas. The moderator is in a cooking school in Ontario. Maybe you can exchange ideas/info with him. Check out the forum. -

I know! I know!!!
They did that to increase wind resistance and thus, the plane had to burn more fuel to overcome the impedance, right? Right?? -
All the best, yah.Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh, I'm sooo excited! In two weeks' time, I get my IELTS exam results!! -
Hmm... apparently, I'm being 'volunteered' for duties to which I never acceded! Feels like I'm back in my army daze....Originally posted by Rhonda:Eh... you applied on his behalf! He nebber apply!

Rhonda, we're curious to find out how you performed in the IELTS exam, so don't be hesitant to share your results.
MG -
if flying over uninhabited areas, or the sea, they'll just dump fuel...
jet fuel is basically kerosene -
Wow.Originally posted by littlestream:Vancouver? Housing is sky rocket prices. Anyways, its sister city so better not say anything negative.
Cooking schools? No. But hey, Rhonda, there is a new forum titled Singaporeans Overseas. The moderator is in a cooking school in Ontario. Maybe you can exchange ideas/info with him. Check out the forum.
Gee, how I wish folks like that would come in here and chat with us! It would be so interesting! -
