Calling all food bloggers to put your markers at Foodie Goodie Goodness Frappr!
The world of Food Blogs have grown a lot more since 2003. Let’s see how big.
Although, it’s been an extremely long time since I’ve been in contact with other food bloggers. Well, no time like the present!
Fashion food indeed. Well, maybe. Then again, taken with an extremely fashionable phone, the SE W800i. However, heavily edited because the lighting is not so good. (Actually, it’s because Wena takes such lousy pictures).
Durian Chips. Made in Thailand. Bought from Singapore, I think. I found it at my auntie’s house about a month back. I didn’t dare open it in case it spoils the taste of the wonderful dinner that Auntie M cooks. This is the same Auntie M whose dinner invitations are never turned down.
Now this is not normal. Oh, the Mandarin Orange is normal. The packaging is not. During Chinese New Year, there are crates and crates and crates and more crates of Mandarin Oranges shipped in from China. Now, the oranges are usually wrapped in very thin pieces of pink paper. This is the 1st time I’ve seen on in a nicely printed plastic bag. I shudder to think how much they would cost compared to the pink-paper-wrapped one. It’s a good marketing ploy but I do wonder whether the price was worth it. From last week in the office. I think my department went through nearly 10 crates of oranges. And the doctor wonders what’s wrong with all of us having gas strict issues prior to CNY.
I got this today from another colleague in the IT department. Seaweed Biscuits from Klang, Selangor, surprisingly. The biscuits were extremely small but addictive!! Tasted really nice. Brand is Golden Sun.
Got my heavy-duty, armor plated, bullet proof camera bag today. A friend from work bought it for me from Singapore. This is the Lowepro CompuRover AW. Bought from Cathay Singapore, apparently the Lowepro distributor for SE Asia.
Having said that, this bag is about half my height! Didn’t expect it to be this big! LOL! Pascale was trying it out as well and it was 2/3 her height!
Yes, we are very small in Asia.
Just got an invitation to join this networking ring known as Food Candy. Yes, it’s another round of Friendsters but this time food theme. Going to give eGullet a run for their money, I’m sure.
Reunion dinner with the usual trimmings. It’s a Nonya theme dinner though. Other than the customary leek, fish and prawn dishes, we had Salted Vegetable Soup with Duck and Pork Leg. Yum. Ok, so it sounds weird but believe me, it tasted delicious.
These days, it’s better for me to keep my mouth shut about the games I’m playing. I’m currently not a favourite amongst my cousins. Their pocket is running dry because of what I’ve been discussing passionately talking to their kids about.
And it all started from my little Gameboy Pocket back in 97.
On another note, this itty bitty little blog is not viewable from Curtin University. Why? The scrumptious looking pictures takes too much bandwidth. Just heard from a friend. hee hee! Guess good food not only contributes to bigger sizes, it also hits on the net lines.
Oh, new pics? Tonight. The main reason I’ve not been uploading lately is because I don’t have a good FTP software to upload the pictures. Am currently using IE but it can take forever to upload. Any suggestions? Preferably freeware.
