My Princess!

The latest Korean series addiction that's making me crazily and painfully waiting in youtube: My Princess












Starring oppa SSH from Autumn Love Story (Endless Love). His part as oppa in that series failed to move me unfortunately. After 10years, how come he still looks so young! and with 6packs.. you make me realize macho men are such eye candy.

Female lead is KTH from Love Story in Harvard. My goodness, she looks so adorable and pretty. Effortlessly and naturally pretty. She looks pretty even whe she cries. With or without make up, dolled up or not, she's so gorgeous.













Enduring 3 more weeks for the remaining 6 episodes. KTH is an innocent and cheerful commoner student turned princess whom the government/opposition parties have their own evil minds of using her for their own political benefits. SSH is a diplomat assigned as a tutor by the President with the intention to cause her downfall, he later ended up saving her and falling for her. Such a pretty onscreen couple and good chemistry. The plot is light and funny.

The last episode (epi 10) stops at SSH asking KTH.. 'Cant you not be the princess and just live as my woman?'... I want to answer 'Yes yes yes!' The surest yes in the world. Forget about ego, pride, national and political issues.. everything is negotiable. :))

Ok I cant sleep. Enough of this. Kamsahamnida! Saranghae oppa. :) Sorry fan mode on.

This is Me.. during full moon :)

I wish you are my favorite dress, so I can wear you everyday
I wish you are my shoes, so you can carry me all the way..

Ehem, it rhymes. :)



This is one of my fave pic from the modern set I did last year. Guess I never really posted any modern pic previously.

Good night world!

CNY Menu 2011

Gong Xi Fa Cai. It's year of the Rabbit!

Cheers to 2 straight holidays every year during Chinese New Year. That makes it to a 4day long weekend. I simply love these bumming days. Days I can wake up latttttteeeeee. They say when one grows old, the appetite for sleep diminishes. But it seems to be happening the opposite for me, no idea. But I do feel one thing's for sure.. my metabolism has gone low. During my new year vaca in Manila, I suddenly remembered my fave dress. I swear to remember wearing it and fitting nicely exactly 3 years ago, and now I cant seem to slip myself in. Grrh. :)

Enough of the blabbers, here's showcasing what I experimented for CNY menu this year.

Chicken Gordon Bleu
This is one of my very first experiment recipes, something close to my heart.



Pumpkin Soup with Siomai & Japchae
One of those impromptu moments, something creative spins into my head. My pumpkin soup was lacking the color for my food presentation and I decided to drop a siomai into it. Weird concept? For a change, be unique! :) It's edible anyway. I hope I am the first originator of this, well I've never seen it anywhere yet.

Another is the japchae. I like this korean style potato vermicelli, more chewy.



Lastly, CNY wont be complete without bakkwa, sweet cake and puddings

Food Lab: Soups for the Soul

It's not to late to be healthy. Havent written a Food Lab entry for so long.

Who would have thought I would stop eating rice for dinner (occasionally) :p Here's my new exploration: soups! My flatmate got a blender and I'm having fun using it.

Seafood Spinach Soup
short intro: My family and neighbor went for dinner and they were digging hard on this soup in the buffet (Yaki Mix), saying let's get more of those we cant cook ourselves at home. With that comment, I said hmm ok this has got to be in my experiment list. Really bought spinach from the market and threw it into the blender and this is the outcome, aint bad. :)





Minestrone
short intro: My english is bad :p, I used to pronounce this word incorrectly :)). Ok time for some tangy tomato-based soup.





Potato Mushroom Chowder
short intro: Small confession to make, I used canned soup to go with it. Yeah I am not one of those who wont compromise with instant mixed grocery goods. I know of someone who wont settle for cooking sinigang with instant mix. Oops I am lazy, sometimes I dont feel like reinventing the wheel. :)





Clam Soup
short intro: lastly I like this one. If you want an effortlessly and naturally tasty soup, clams would be your best choice.
