Guess you still remember me. Every now and then I visit your site, it’s nice to read about Italy seen from the eyes of a Singaporean girl! And I like very much the way you write, the enthusiasm you put in your descriptions.

I spent my hols in your place. Being a blogger, I had to write something about Singapore. If you feel a bit home-sick, have a look at my blog. That’s in Italian, but it will be a good Italian-reading exercise for you! :)

Hope you’ll find a minute to pop by and read my latest stories about Singapore. The more I know the place, the more I like it, for more than one reason… ;)

Keep on writing, it’s a really nice blog the one you keep!!

Say hello to Cart from me,

ciao,

Actually not a bad idea when I am the guest with my sunday best on tho :-P

I’m just not used to cooking for many guests. In SG we always hv the caterers in to feed the 20+ assembling at mom’s :-)

Yes, indeed there are some who prefer to spend their Chinese New Year overseas so that they don’t have to deal with their clan. I suppose they have their own point of view, which is to spend time with their direct family. Although I think that it’s nice to spend time with the relatives too.

Feeding your in-laws 3 times a day? How come? Don’t they offer to help out in the kitchen too? :-)

Speaking of mooncakes, the chinese shop sells them too. But Lynn, another Singaporean living here in Rome brought some here and we had a taste of it :-)

I’ll take a peek at the site, there will surely be something interesthing there :D

Just a few months to go :-)

Zewt

There isnt that much muslims as compared to catholics here, but regardless, its always fun to celebrate with friends and family the different festivals :-)

A belated Selamat Hari Raya to you.

P.s. Belated Eid Mubarak.

Things did eventually turned out great for ur Hari Raya. My muslim gf in the States has given this year a miss bec her circle of friends were mostly elsewhere. They used to hv a bring-what-u-hv feast, taking turns to celebrate in different homes.

This actually makes me think of chinese new year in SG. I hv heard for years that my family n friends were bored with it – can u imagine ?!! Pretty much the same sentiments with single dutch during Xmas.
I hv over the years simplify the occasion with a meal for 2 if hubby is around. It used to be overwhelming with my dutch in-laws who came n camped at our place from noon till way past midnite. Imagine how tiring it was to feed my guest 3 times on that day !

Anycow, our mooncake festival is on next. We hv already eaten the mooncakes since hubby is on the road again.

Ooh, I paid € 2,50 for that pack of roti prata – it’s not in layers like the mama stall makes them in SG. Not buying them again ! Saw only 2 fresh durians in Amsterdam for € 8,95 a piece. Hubby is one big fan of the king of fruits but it looked like it’s been in the toko for a very long time, so we let it passed :-(

The popiah skin tends to break when I try to roll it up. Bear in mind that they r stuck together n once u thawed them, u hv to use it asap. Well, they r good for filling samosa’s, pangsit gorengs …. I hv even tried using it as a crust for a quiche (hubby prefers my short crust tho). Google up or try the link to Rasa Malaysia – ideas abound for yummies :-)
