Yen Can Cook 080509 - Guo Tie

Mrs Tang is very adventurous today. She's been planning to make Guo Tie for the past few days. I first spied some minced meat inside the fridge when I covertly tried to take a few scoops of ice creams. Then she's been spotted playing with tissue papers. Practising pleating the dough, she says. Kind of like brain surgeon practising before opening up a patient's skull for real. Only this is tougher, according to her. So today she's finally ready for the real thing.
Training the Guo Tie Army
While she has the glamorous job of making the guo tie, I've been assigned the thankless task of shredding chicken meat for our meehoon soup. Yes, we're also having meehon soup. Guo tie is just the side dish.
Army of guo tie in formation. The parade before facing the toughest battle in their short but glorious life, up against the menacing forces of hot 100% pure extra virgin olive oil. The battlefield, a frying pan. Their mission, hold the line and prevent their fillings from bursting out while being pan-fried. Their glory, being devoured gracefully by Mr & Mrs Tang.

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...

Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
