No pictures, cos it flopped. nothing wrong with the recipe. but i think the oven isn't hot enough and the heat wasn't distributing evenly. i put the tray in there for more than an hour cos it just won't brown. so it turned out very chewy with the sugar heavily caramelised and the crust not crusty enough. i'm going to throw it away later. will try again when we move over to our apartment which is supposed to come with a new oven. blog about it another day.
last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
