Here is the best cake EVER. It actually looks pretty ugly. So unassuming. But don’t judge a book by its cover!
A friend had a birthday and she gave us some of this cake. We were planning to go somewhere, so we said thank you and put it on a plate in our room. While waiting for others to meet us, So Hyun, Jingzhong and I decided to eat a bit because we were hungry.
One bit and we were hooked. We gobbled the entire thing up, and mind you, our friend gave us half the cake to share among us.
I don’t know how to describe it, but when you put it into your mouth, there’s a smorgasbord of tastes and flavours exploding on your tongue. I’m no cake expert, in fact I don’t like most cakes, so I’m definitely not the best person to describe it. Regardless, I could at least detect caramel? =) I need to get the recipe for that cake!
Anyway, if I could, I would send a cake over to Dessa (she would totally love it, that sweet toothed girl!) for her birthday on Sunday, but I can’t. So I’ll probably get some because someone else’s birthday is coming up soon..
Managed to Skype with my family on Friday and with church friends on Saturday.
Hahaha told them to hold still so I could take a screenshot of them.
=)
I know, I look super crappy. Hahhahaa when I skyped with my family on Friday I made sure I put on make-up and everything because last time I didn’t and my mom said I looked so tired. But this time I was in the dormitory and didn’t even bother wearing contacts. My mother asked if I ever combed my hair.
My package finally arrived. The icing on the cake? We had to pay 100KZT (SGD1) per day that we did not pick it up. Storage charges for keeping the package at the post office. What the hell right? We paid, what else could we do?
Inside is Milo, chicken bagua, ikan billis, mooncakes, kaya, Singapore flags, a handmade pouch from Fidessa and packets of soup and curry mix.
Mmmmm!
Thank you Mom and Dad for sending it over! And special thanks to Dessa for the little pouch. =)
When I finally got the package, the mooncakes had all expired. The lotus paste ones expired about 2 weeks ago and the blueberry and cheese one expired 4 days ago. But we ate them anyway.
Heh heh heh.
Nothing happened! Don’t worry.
Our Korean friends got to try what we eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival (we celebrated Korean-style here) and they liked mooncakes. We also toasted bread with kaya.. They super love it and couldn’t get enough. And we already finished one box of chicken bagua, which they also find totally delicious. Seems like the Singapore food so far has been a success.
I'm currently in Almaty, Kazakhstan and will be here until 27 December 2009. So if you would like to know what life is like living in Kazakhstan, read on!
