Night Owl Chatterboxes - Part XXXVI!

Pho is right in my alley! About five mins' walk from where I live and it's right in the heart of Victoria Street where you can eat all the Pho you want!Originally posted by the Bear:sure..
but i ain't eatin' no wanton noodles there
it's souvlaki, pho, gelati and all kinds of stuff
frankly, i love schnitzels at the little cafes.. and also steak sandwiches
Schnitzels I can have in my staff cafeteria anytime I want. I don't have a thing for souvlaki but I have a thang for the small pizza restaurants! And mmm... the pasta places!
Hmm... wonder how long it'll take to learn how to drive... I've already chosen a preferred colour for my car! -
How about chicken parma? One of my colleagues always ordered chicken parma everytime we had lunch at some local pub. I had it once or twice but not that keen on that.Originally posted by the Bear:sure..

Recently, I did buy a slice of Lime Cheesecake which was superb, and a slice of Choc Hazelnut Cake. Sadly, I threw the choc cake away cause it had dried up in the fridge and was unpalatable.
Took too long to get to eating it. What a waste!
The bread though, are all soooo very hard! Teng kok kok!! I prefer our bread here. The crust there is so hard that sometimes, when I try to bite into it, I feel like my teeth might get stuck in the crust and come out of my mouth, just like in the cartoons! -
$4800 if i want to pull out of my $100/month investment.
i think i lost some money too.
-
anyone knows that procedure i'm supposed to take?
i call the agent and just say 'i want out' issit? -
that's what you get for buying more than you can eat
best times of my life is when bunch of us had coffee and cake in the city at about 3am in the morning, waiting for the first trams back to the hostelOriginally posted by Rhonda:Too sweet for me!

what kinda investment?Originally posted by kopiosatu:$4800 if i want to pull out of my $100/month investment.

honeymouse, I feel very bad about something I did at your house during the steamboat dinner.
I know everyone else finished their Pavlova except me. It's not that it wasn't nice... it's just that it was too sweet for me. I'm really sorry. I felt so bad about it but I was too pai seh to say sorry I couldn't finish it. Sowwy... -
I think I remembered the Kraft Peanut Butter..
It's CMI.. Skippy's better..
But to think of it, they're the manufacturer of Vegemite -
the...Originally posted by the Bear:what kinda investment?
what's that stuff that's slower than stocks?
bonds i think. -
meringues and pavs are wonderful
i can't bake to save my life.. else, i'd try the recipe the wonderful Nigella Lawson offered.. it looked almost as good as her -
I over-estimated my appetite.Originally posted by the Bear:that's what you get for buying more than you can eat

Anyways, I think dad passed on his flu to me! I feel ill now. -

Talk about pho.... I just had that for lunch this afternoon. Friday I usually go out for lunch with colleagues. Very soon I will have no lunch "kaki" since they each resigned.
My hubby and his brother had rabbit stew at the winery last year when we took my father-in-law out for Father's day. They are not that keen on the rabbit and they said they probably wouldn't have it again. I can't comment since I haven't had it before.
Hopefully when bear comes next year, I will get a chance to make you my (& your) favourite pavlova. I haven't tried making Lemon Meringue pie before.... perhaps I might give it a go when you are here. -
nope.. it's the humidity that got to youOriginally posted by Rhonda:I over-estimated my appetite.

I have an oven you can use. But Coles actually sell the Pavolova shell, ready for you to put toppings on it and I heard from some colleagues that it's actually not bad.Originally posted by the Bear:meringues and pavs are wonderful

Oh, better still, get honeymouse and mousehubby to bake one for you! Your sis loves their Pavlova!
