chaque jour je t’aime davantage, aujourd’hui plus qu’hier et bien moins que demain

Or it feels like it, at least. These two days.. we have been doing everything Chinese!

The day before, we went to this chinese restaurant near Pantheon.

We order 6 dishes at the restaurant..
1. you ling ji (roasted chicken with some sauce on top. the direct translation is like oil poured on top of the chicken, but it’s not as oily as it sounds la)
2. bai cai something
3. mapo tofu (i know dear would love this! i will bring you there when you’re here ok??)
4. some chicken + bamboo shoot thingy
5. sweet and sour pork
6. some egg

seriously good! we ate to our fill for 5E (each, duh)! it’s better than the chinese food else where lor, per 100g it’s like more than 2E already! all thanks to yongchuen who recommended this place! photos are with crystal though.. who came from stockholm. lester came as well, from holland??? i can’t remember where..but they’re both on sep.

they came to our apartment to have bah kwa after that -_-”

and we were telling them not to make too much noise cos the walls are hollow, so yc asked “if i pee, will you all be able to hear?”

and so he went to the toilet.. and everyone kept silent.

yc: “oi, talk leh!”

and then when he started peeing.. you can seriously hear the echo! we all burst out laughing! lol.

today we went to chinatown at 13eme.. it was freaking snowing la! shit. so damn cold!!! :(

we went to tang freres, some frozen food place, paris star, don’t know what supermarkets la. saw lots of bottles of lee kum kee… but in the end we bought some oyster sauce, some chilli sauce from lee kum kee, a few pieces of fish fillet (5 or 6 i think), xiao bai cai (i think, i have no idea what the veggie names are called in chinese), 30 eggs, sausage, red wine from bordeaux, lemon (to marinate the fish), and of course, a brand spanking new non-stick pan. all for about 20E..

dammit, we saw a lot of nice food.. like the tang bao, the kind of chilli they have at crystal jade, curry paste.. wahh super tempted!

for dinner, we had ben and zhijian over (since they went with us to chinatown).. and boy, they were the cooks, whereas jess and i merely helped out as and when. like breaking eggs, draining broccoli, adding sausage to eggs.. hahaha.

anyway, photos!

ben cooking

zj must style hair before cooking..

and then zj’s cooking..

and jess and i camwhore

our food! finally! hahah.

pseudo rosti (we have no shredder. or rather, we have one that i brought from home and we don’t know how to use) + spanish omelette, apparently

sausage + fish fillet

broccoli + oyster sauce and some other condiments

played the “3″ game, but jess puked after two sips of alcohol the other day, so she’s eating as a forfeit instead

and she’s obviously enjoying it


our wine from bordeaux. we decided to try the 3,95E wine, instead of the 1,90E one.. hahah. it tastes better though. nevertheless, it’s still cheaper than when you buy in singapore.

ok i need to go and bathe and do some washing up.. then dry using the heater in the toilet (it dries JEANS within a NIGHT)

i totally live in a sauna.

PS i have NO photos of chinatown because it was freaking snowing, and i had to carry the groceries still. plus it was too cold to whip my camera out of my pocket as well. hahaha. photos are with ben/zhijian i think. luckily zhijian is gentlemanly enough to lend me his gloves (cos i lent mine to jess).. although.. making us walk in the snow + damn cold wind… is damn sickening la!

they refused to let us take the metro and go back :(
