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, jackfruit and rambutan as well as chinchow and even salted eggs from marketplace yesterday. salted eggs are really good, thank God i bought a dozen! ate 2 just now for lunch, so there's 10 left to ration. these "treasures" don't appear often so don't blame me for storing them up in the pantry. haha.
this morning we went in search of lightbulbs at PJ's and Gorham's. then we went to Miles and found to my relief, the last 2 bottles of kimchi on the island!! that shall have to do for the time being until i get myself out of the island for some really authentic korean food!!
