4th visit to Dragon-I


What is better than to have the best food in town? Being accompany by 2 adorable girls. We manage to take one of the round sofa seat (love seat?) by the window instead of those annoying "squatting" table by the entrance. But due to a sudden surge in the amount of people having dinner together (Peter, Luu, TC, KS, Swee Hua) we have to move into one of those round table in a partitioned area. Food is still very good although service is slow as waitress didn't look our way when we waves and yell out for service in a corner.




Recipe for Xiao Loong Bao

11 oz Pork loin with some fat,-chopped or ground coarse
2 ts Soy sauce
1 tb Sesame oil
2 tb Scallion greens, chopped
1 1/2 ts Ginger root, chopped fine
6 tb Water
1/4 c Stiff aspic -(jellied stock)
1/4 Recipe basic yeast dough

Mix first 8 ingredients. Divide into 24 portions. Cut aspic into 24 portions. Knead dough 5 min; roll out into a thin baguette; cut into 24 pieces. Flatten each piece into a 2" round; then go around with your fingers and squeeze the edges thin - the result should be a medium-thin center and a thin outside. Put 1 portion (1/2 oz) filling in the center of each round; top with 1 portion of aspic. Bring up the sides of each round and twist up in a decorative pattern, making sure to seal the top. If holes appear, patch them at once!

Put each dumpling on a square of waxed paper or a piece of bok choy leaf and steam, preferably in a bamboo steamer, for 8 min. Serve hot.

Food for thoughts ...

Guys drinks to forget about the girl...
Girls drinks to think back about that guy..

When guys are in love, they become poorer But when girls are in love, they become prettier

Guys can forget, but cannot forgive...
Girls can forgive, but cannot forget..

Guys care most about the quantity of love...
But girls care most about the quality of love..

Guys break-up when they feel love from another Girl...
Girls break-up when they feel Separation from her man...

Guys feels curious towards all girls...
Girls feel curious towards the guys who are Interested in her..

When guys are heartbroken, they try to forget the girl by going out with other girls...
When girls are heartbroken, they try to find his Characteristics from other guys...

Guys wishes to be her first love....
And girls wishes to be his last love...

Went to Queensbay GSC last Wednesday to catch a must see movie of this decade "TRANSFORMERS" I will definitely give it a 10 out of 10 stars. IMHO It has every single elements a good action movie should have
  • Cars ... lots of cars.. muscle cars, big trucks... and Tanks :)
  • Megan Fox ...
  • Peter Cullen (Here is a pop quiz, who is this guy)
  • Lots of explosion
  • Optimus Prime, just for being him
I missed the 1st 5 minutes of the film, but I am sure just like any other movies from similar genre. I didn't miss much... maybe one or two explosions and mega thrashing of some expensive cars or military equipments.

Notice how GM signs are everywhere in the movie? it is like a full length movie commercial from them. But all is not lost, they showcase some of the better cars GM has to offer.
I will list a few that I recognize.
  • Chevrolet Camaro - Bumblebee -> Concept model with only 4 in the whole world
  • Pontiac Solstice - Jazz -> Added a great spoiler and it is produce in the Saturn plant in DE
  • Hummer H2 - Ratchet -> Heavily modded
  • GMC Top Kick - Ironhide -> Nothing too fancy about this one
  • Ford Mustang -> Best Police car
This is one of the movie I will need to buy the DVD to keep in my collection together with some classic such as the Matrix, Indiana Jones, Godfather and of course Sound of Music.

Some Movie Posters to share with Yol
