Ardent Indulgence: August 2014
http://ardentindulgence.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. Project: Bihun Goreng Kampung. To celebrate the nation's 57th Independence Day, I decided to cook a meal. My project for the day: Bihun Goreng Kampung. As I wield a pen more than I do a spatula, I am not expecting much. But the dish turned out to be beyond my expectation. I don't know how I could churn out something so utterly tasteless. Note: bihun, meehoon and bee hoon all mean the same thing - - rice vermicelli). I then went out and ordered myself. Also spent the day reading a...

Thursday, January 30, 2014. My CNY Reunion Dinner Dishes. This dish was among the dishes for Chinese New Year reunion dinner. It tasted nothing like the meatball soup that my late mother used to make. Need to fine-tune the recipe. The chicken cuts were blended and then mixed with corn flour, plain flour and an egg. Here are the meatballs of an amateur cook. The Chinese also love to eat fish during the Chinese New Year as it symbolises 年年有余 ( Nian Nian You Yu. Links to this post. I'll be eating at home...

Ardent Indulgence: October 2014
http://ardentindulgence.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Do not give this a miss if you like martial arts movies. There is high octane action, gripping fight scenes and cameos by some of the biggest names in the Hong Kong action genre. I didn't recognise some of them till the closing credits were shown. Chinese star Wang Baoqiang was stellar in his portrayal of the fanatical villain who wants to be número uno in the martial arts world. His opponents all put up a good fight, hats off to the choreographer. Links to this post. Cosyns sai...

Ardent Indulgence: June 2014
http://ardentindulgence.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. Enjoying comfort food with a pretty girl named Nobuytea. I mean Norbaiti aka Zetty. The girl is from Muo. I mean Muar. And the story about Special No. 1 Porridge by Halim Said. IT may be bold of Zaleha Ahmad to claim that her dish is the best in town, but the Special No 1 Porridge may be worth bragging about. Zaleha, who is fondly known as Kak Leha, said she set up the business when she was in her 20s and had just started her own family. I prepared the porridge and condiments using...

Monday, March 31, 2014. Started the day with a flat tyre. Called Easy Taxi but there were no cabs in the vicinity. Tried another smart apps My Teksi and managed to get a cab. I'm blogging using my iPad. Nearly drove me crazy. Need some getting use to because it's so different from using a laptop. Went to Pekan Nanas in Pontian, Johor, for a "stakeout" later in the day. Customs enforcement officers recently launched a nationwide blitz on illicit cigarettes. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 25, 2014.

Ardent Indulgence: Fairy Tale?
http://ardentindulgence.blogspot.com/2014/12/fairy-tale.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Hi, it's been a while. I miss blogging but I don't want to overstrain my eyes, so this is just going to be a short crazy post. Currently, one eye is 200 degrees, the other is 1,200 degrees. Kind of hard to FOCUS. I'm ok. At home, joyfully chanting and sleeping most of the time and getting FAT. Can't help wondering if what is coming my way is something that is too good to be true, or do fairy tales really do happen. And don't judge, don't complain, don't condemn, don't criticize.
