Fabulous Food~!

*~ Warning, this is going to be a long post! ~*

Hmm... But since when has my post been short? Ignore heehee~

Digressing abit first, I HATE MY WORKPLACE COMPUTER! Or at least the stupid position of the way the CPU was placed. Since last week that I was asked to move my place, I had been accidently knocking the power cable of the CPU and yup, you guessed it. Always cleans out the things I was working on. And while I was typing up a storm on this entry just now, BOOM, hitted the stupid cable again, and POOF! There goes my long entry =.=" This is so freaking annoying.

It's as if I can't do anything without saving them every few mintues. Love Microsoft as it always managed to help me recover my unsaved files. I can't imagine spending another few good hours on my work again just because of a idiotic power cable's fault. I had just rearranged the CPU so I supposed I won't be able to have any of such problem again, I think...

ANYWAY~ I had a simply delightful evening last night hee... ( No, don't stray your thoughts, its evening not midnight ) Nothing beats having a delicious meal with my best friend Ying Ying, her bf, Jia Wei and my darling Ray ( naturally hee~ ).

That was definately one of the most enjoyable meal I ever had ( Woe to whoever that do not like spicy food, that would be hellish for them!!! Muahahahahha! ) and kept on drooling whenever I think back of it *~ Drools ~ * ( ^-,^)

It all started when Ying called me around 2pm yeseterday, when I was trying to get Ray to go out and eat ( he's glued to the computer ). She said Jia Wei wanted to eat the Pork Knuckle aka PK that Ray had introduced sometime back at Farmart ( Ironically enough, it was the one dish we did not eat yesterday ). I wasn't keen on eating that as I recalled the past 2-3 occasions that I ate that, I was feeling quite quesy and nauseous for the layers of fats on it was far too much to my liking... But I was delighted at having the chance to eat with my best friend so we arranged to meet at 6pm ( ended up meeting at 7pm plus instead ).

We waited for sometime for the 50 cents per person shuttle bus at the bus stop opposite Lot 1 ( opposite the Guardian store at the mrt station to be more precise ). It was extremely hot and perspiration were covering Ying and me from head to toe... Jia Wei was concentrating on his PSP while Ray had a conversation with us gals.

After a long wait ( The shuttle bus comes only once every hour on Sunday & Public Holidays, not too sure about Saturday and we were waiting for the 7pm bus ), the shuttle bus finally arrived and we simmered ourselves in the cooling comfort of air con for the time being.

Upon arriving at Farmart, we were looking around and I immediately started looking for the delicious aroma of Stingray. Ying said she's on diet and don't want to eat PK, I don't fancy it either and apparently Ray's not in mood as well. So it was decided, Barbeque food for the day!!!

I guarded a table ( Yea I know, I am a typical Singaporean~ bleah =p ) while the rest went to order food. They ordered Barbeque Stingray, Barbeque sotong, Lala, Kang Kong, Barbeque Chicken wings, Black Pepper Cray Fish and 4 plates of rice ( Stingray, sotong and lala were wrapped in aluminium foil ). We also ordered 2 Lime Juices ( for Ying and Ray ) and 2 Coke ( for Jia Wei and me ) and the dishes were so spicy that we had to order another 2 Ice Lemon Tea ( 1 each for the couples, Ray finished up my Coke =x ).

*~ Barbeque Stingray ~*

It's the first dish to arrive. I wasn't expecting much of it since I do have a very picky palate. But when I caught a whiff of the delectable spicy scent, it sent tingles down me and I was more than ready to tuck into it.

In the aluminium foil, there were 4 neatly sliced Stingray, each about 1.5 inch in width and laying on a bed of red lava looking chilli. The meat was nice and freshed, well cooked so that when I used the chopstick to pick it up, the meat came out easily and tasted deliciously soft.

The chilli was fabulous. It had a hint of sweetness adding to the strong spicy flavor. I even scooped just the chilli alone to eat with the rice. It was that good.

*~ Barbeque Sotong ~*

I am not one who will appreciate most food as my taste buds are more... customed to certain taste and seafood ain't exactly high on my list of most favourite. I did tried one but it still taste like barbeque rubber to me =x

The other 3 loved it though, though Ray mostly gotten onion instead. Like the Stingray, the sotong was covered in a sea of chilli. As it was placed far from me, I did not managed to get its scent.

Though Ying and Jia Wei were raving about it being quite nice and the way the guys were digging through the onions hoping there were any left, I figured they must have loved it alot.

*~ La La ~*

The La La came right after the Stingray and I was the one who pried open the foil to see what it was. As I always insisted not eating shell or clam food, I bet you guys must be surprised that I actually ate one.

The La La was covered in a slightly more watery chilli than the Stingray or Sotong, but to spike my curiousity enough to even taste it, that goes to show how delicious smelling it must had been.

After seeing it was La La, I took one and put it on Ray's plate, wanting to see his reaction. But since he was busy playing DS and I couldn't resist the temptation, I took a spoonful of the watery chilli and mixed with rice and ate it. But the taste of the seafood smell was still overpowering for an anti shell person like me.

Ying ate and told me to try it for she said its "fishy" smell was not as strong as the ones selling outside ( as in other places that she had tried ). With her encouraging and my growing curiosity of the taste, I finally took one and ate it. =x I still felt like its a rubber band filled with spicy soupy thing. Maybe I don't know how to appreciate it, but it was gobbled up by the others in an instant.

But for a calm dish to be able to tantalise my taste bud, it was pretty good ( and I usually just avoid them, my record of not eating shell/ calm food for over around 20 years was broken ).

*~ Kang Kong ~*

This was definately one dish that I would not touch if I could. My hatred for veggies is so strong that it surprised MeiXuan ( One of my other best friends ^.^ ) last month or the month before when she saw me eating some lettuce and cucumber from the side salad.

But this dish came with Ikan Bilis aka Anchovies and chopped red chilli. Ying and I tried to get our hands on the Ikan Bilis haha... It did not looked as spicy as the previous 3 dishes but hey, I didn't ask the others much on this one. Basically because, I am not interested =x And yea, they finished this as well...

*~ Barbeque Chicken Wings ~*

Hmm... This dish taste like the same as the ones selling elsewhere. Nothing special but then again, I did not try out the chilli sauce that comes along with it as it was placed too far from me ( usually the sauce can make or break the food ). Not much to comment on it then hee...

*~ Black Pepper Cray Fish ~*

Oohhh lala~ and I am not saying the previous dish La La. This one was, without a doubt, the ultimate and the spiciest dish that we had order for the day! Ray finished my Coke after he tasted this dish.

Piping hot and eaten with the black pepper ( its not even sauce, its the chopped pieces of black pepper ) I was absolutely blown by the taste of this incredible dish! *~ Yums to the max!! ~*

At the first look, I was looking at it in distaste as I never had much love for cray fish, yet after the first bite, I was craving for more! Best go along with some rice to mild down the spicy taste abit, but it seems frutile as Ray was busy gulping down the drinks =x

Ying and Jia Wei on the other hand, were pulling out the fresh meat and dipping into the delicious black pepper and devouring the meat in delight. Oh man... I am salivating just the thought of it... I want more of the Black Pepper Cray Fish!!!

Sigh... That was a pure bliss of a meal, it most certainly was. After that meal, none of us were able to take another bite ( with the exception of Jia Wei of cos, I did not know where he put his food ).

We took a walk around, waiting for the 8.50pm shuttle bus to get back to Lot 1. Most of the shops closed around 6pm and we saw several types of stores. One had this animal feeding time, a couple of dogs shops, a fish spa, birds shop, and even a shop that sells 100 quail eggs for S$8! But that store also sell crocodile meat and rabbit meat =.= " Urgh...

Jia Wei went to buy some mango dessert while the rest of us watch him wondering how he managed to finish all the food =x

Soon we headed back to Lot 1, slacked around a little before heading home. Love the food we ate!!! ♥♥ Hee... Nice food and great friends and a sweet darling always put me in good mood ♥♥

P.S. Now the net work has problem... What is going on in my workplace???!!! Arghh... Is this supposed to be the minus effect since yesterday outing was ultra positive??!!! NO~~~~!!!!
