the store at the temp china town building howker got around that by having 2 stores one for black stuff and one for whiteOriginally posted by Wanda:I like chye tai kueh, and I like to eat it with chilli by the side for dipping, instead of frying the whole lot with chilli...taste nicer that way.
The chye tai kueh stall at my place has stopped selling the black version. It may have something to do with not wanting to wash the flat wok after frying a batch of black version.

Heck why do I even want to eat gold when it has no nutritional value and it will just come out when I take a dump ><

What a shame you didn't eat much at such a nice restaurant. I would eat and worry about my weight later!!!Originally posted by Wanda:Hiya Honeymouse
Dinner was fine, although I didn't eat a lot, as it was rather late after we bought the iron, plus I had gone to the gym for a quick workout earlier and I want to maintain the light and fresh feeling, you know....so avoided a heavy meal. The food there was nice and service was impeccable, although we weren't big spenders. Highly recommended.
You've got a nice celebration to look forward to this weekend, don't you? BTW, can I ask for how long did you guys dated before you got married?
ps: Tigger fr Winnie the Pooh bear....why was the he bear called Winnie?![]()

We already had our celebration for our 2nd anniversary on Monday night - we went out to a nice restaurant at St Kilda for dinner. And last Sunday, we went exploring the Dandenong Ranges etc.
We dated for about 6 years (got engaged for a year) before we got married. When we got together, we were still students and poor so you can see why it took us so long to get married.
As for the name Winnie, I was told Winnie is actually a guy's name. I was like you who thought Winnie was a girl's name. I have a girl friend whose name is Winnie.
