Hungry Ghost

My 'Ang' had been pestering me to prepare steamboat for quite sometime. First of all, I don't even have that electric steamboat pot to start with. Was in Isetan to get one, not because we love Isetan. Just happened that I still have $100 voucher from one of my housewarming gift which if I don't spend it still, its going to get expired or get lost somehow.

Household department at Isetan had a facelift!! Modern and bright.

Anyway, on National Day eve, we went supermarketing after work. By the time we got home, set up the steamboat, washed the vegetables, cut the tou hu, etc........its past 8pm.....and I'm a hungry ghost already. The best part is......waiting for that packet chicken stock to boil. I'm really fainting already. To make me feel worse, we caught a variety show in Channel 8 called "Pai Pai Zhan, Cha Cha Kan" (Take a queue and check it out, something like that) hosted by Bryan Wong and the singer turned actor/host/writer. Whatever I see is "Zhi De" lor.


Then out of desperation, I buey tahan already, I took this from the fridge to 'tong' my hunger.


This dinner took at least 2 hours to finish. No rice, no meat, only vegetables, tang hoon, fishballs, mushroom balls, touhu, mushroom, baby corn.....we were sitting on the floor, eating, waiting for the food to cook, watching TV, resting, eating again, talking, waiting again.......This is bliss.


Then Channel 5 was showing "My Big Fat Greek Weddding". I watched this show before and I loved it. This time when I watched it, it suddenly strike me that Singapore should make a show similar to this. 2 different person from backgrounds, faling in love and how both gels into each other's family background. I call this racial harmony. To top it off, make it the Uniquely Singapore way.
