It was a wonderfully warm weekend, so warm that I was in shorts and flip-flops all Saturday. We went shopping for sseafood and even made it to the farmers' market at Bull's Head for some fresh veggies. All that just for the hotpot dinner at James' that evening. Admittedly, it wasn't the best weather for hotpot, more like barbeque weather if anyone asked for my opinion, but it was still very pleasant to be out and about, with no rain or howling winds for once. It's been a long time, good weather. i wish you'd stay like this for some time and not slip into the vicious bitch of summer so soon, scorching us silly and making me puke sunshine.
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...
