junk food glory

for the half blind, in case you didnt notice, I'm revamping my blog :P

had enough of the green theme (one fren commented that it's so glaring it stings hur hur)

although i'd love pink or purple....they're just too....err ordinary

yeah sure they're prob the 'IT' colours of the bimbo-wannabe population

we are pink. pink are us.

BUT

cheng isnt any ordinary bimbo-wannabe

cheng is special

cheng is......

a bimbo-wannabe with a TWIST!

SOOOOOOOO,

cheng shall be....

errrrrr

a chocolate-loving bimbo-wannabe! (shit that doesnt sound very impressive)

hur hur.

actually i just wanted to personalize the site so it more representative of me

my love for chocolate, the excessive narcissism...

NOT THE LECHEROUS LEERING MONKEY. it's there for your added entertainment value THAT'S ALL :P

er. does anyone know how to categorize ur blog posts and put them into their respective drop-down boxes? *looks hopefully at the geeky programmer*


keke. so i finally tried botak jones. after 4 years in NUS, i finally realize there's a branch 3min away from clementi mrt station.

nice.

it truely lives up to it's reputation of monstrous serving size

botak burger - hmm it looks betta than it tastes. but it's a personal bias, i like my bread n meat patty in less extreme ratio LOL.

patty was a bit dry dat it crumbles after knifing, taste-wise it's pretty average, gimme my BK turkey bacon anytime man.

whoopass fries - ohhhhhhh my fav out of e three!!! thou e heap of raw onion was a tad overwhelming (urgh, onion's high up on my food-I-dont-eat-list), e mexican-style green chili meat sauce and melted cheese beneath worked really well for me!! i like!

and yes that's a normal sized plate used for the mains. so it's a frikkin' lotsa fries. only order to share in a grp. or when u're really THAT hungry.

cajun chicken - came as a pleasant surprise. was expecting some dry tasteless chicken breast meat you usually get at western food stalls (which you drown in any sauce available and bascially taste the sauce and nothing but the sauce), but the chicken from botak has an interesting smoked flavour to it and thou not succulently juicy and mindblowing delectable, it fares betta than K**n*y R*g*rs hur hur.

Conclusion - can try. value for money. dont expect much thou. it's after all, kopitiam food :P

oh yeah. order 2 for 3, 3 for 4 etc. unless u're filming a sequel to Super Size Me.


Ohhhhh. I chanced upon a fantastic food site: Gourmet Talks.

it's a portal for food addicts and list the links to their recent food reviews/restaurant visits. most of the members are taiwanese so naturally the posts are on taiwanese food, which is sadly only available on the Formosa island :P

and most blog in chinese hur hur. for those chinese-language-challenged maybe you'd want to give it a miss. but then, just the pics are orgasmic to look at LOL.

a girl blogged abt an interesting takoyaki cooker from Japan

it's a stand-alone cooker itself, with a fuss-free electric heater so no set-up required! just pour batter, roll it into a ball, and they're ready to eat! I wanttttt!!!

apparently the cooker cannot be found outside Japan grrrr. in SG/TW, the metal plate's available in store, but WITHOUT the heater.

so you have to cook over your stove, risk overcooking the batter, or worse burning down your kitchen :P

i realize i have a thing for kitchen appliances. i'd prob grow-up to be become a new age gadget-obsessed housewife hur hur.

wafer sticks!

nice recommendations anyone?

i was describing the tidbit to chris, referring to it as 'love letter'.

i was misled by the shape.

okay. they're different. i was wrong. sue me.

then i got paranoid. 'love letter' seems like a weird name, wldn't 'love roll' or 'letter roll' be more explanatory? LOL

what if the 'love letter' i thought isnt 'love letter' after all? ppl gonna laugh behind my back. a foodie not knowing her food!

so i did some research. God bless yahoo search engine.

this, is the true 'love letter'. (whoever they are, their faces have been photoshopped to protect their identities. the bursting blood vessel and exasperated silence speech bubble were added to reflect their imaginary response to the bad photoshop job)

now i feel like tryin the actual 'love letter'.

they say: you are what you eat.

therefore, i am junk.
