180 nights in beijing: Week 0 (1 jan

my family for the next six months~ (:

our first sunday, and we cooked our first proper dish! my favourite, "冬菇焖鸡"! my mother had cooked it for me on 31 december 2007 - kianhai was also around to try my mummy's cooking! :) she taught me how to cook it, and "TADA!" i succeeded! somemore we added these long beans and cooked them just right! very tasty! :D am i good, or am i good?

yoshinoya -looking and -tasting~, the priced about RMB23 for a set meal - this is considered expensive in comparison to other food in beijing. thankfully, a gym sales-promoter kindly offered his membership card to get discount for the meal. (:

taken at 西二旗 station, where 4 of the girls are working at. bought popcorn at this train station too~ tasty and cheap! (:

after a night of drinking (distilled water) at the other mates' place, 富丽城, we left in the morning for breakfast. and because girls like man in uniform, we took a photo with their condo's security guards before we left.

individual shots with our favourite 拔丝！

this is my favourite dessert in beijing! it's called 香蕉拔丝(basi)! it is fried bananas coated in sweet caramel! and it is named 拔丝 because when you pick up a piece while it is still hot, you would have to pull (拔) it a little as the pieces cling together. strips (丝) of the hot caramel is formed when it is dettach from the other pieces. you may dip the piece into the cold water before eating, so that it does not stick to your teeth (however, i prefer not to). it's simply tasty! and we can get real excited eating this - we call it sugar rush! apples and sweet potatoes also available. but i love the bananas.
