Dinner at Pepper LunchThe other day, I was having dinner at this concept restaurant,
Pepper Lunch with my friend. She was telling me that it's like the latest teppanyaki dining in vogue.
Beef with corn rice
Chicken & Salmon
I don't know what is so fantastic about this
Pepper Lunch, but I always see a long queue forming. Seriously, I think that the staffs are having problems coordinating and managing their queue effectively because I see numerous empty tables when I enter the restaurant.
In actual fact, I don't know whether to term
Pepper Lunch as a restaurant, fast food or whatever, because the style is somewhat like fast food, but yet prices are like restaurant level. On second thoughts, I think it's more expensive than the mid-range restaurants lor! I mean, at least those mid-range restaurants cook and serve the food for you. At
Pepper Lunch, you cook your own freaking food and end up smelling like BBQ food for the rest of the day. The freaking food on the hotplate and drink cost me $15 in total. I think I'm being overcharged lor!
The whole restaurant was actually quite noisy with all the “
Zzzz Zzz” sizzling sounds on the hotplate. People were busy concentrating on cooking their food to notice that they are actually overcharged. Quite chaotic actually.
Anyway, although the wait in the queue was quite long, we didn't have to wait uber long for our food though. I mean, essentially, they just need to cut the meat and dump it together with the vegetables on the hotplate, then serve. Like, how long could this take?! They don't have to cook mah! We cook ourselves! The enthusiastic waiter who brings the food to your table will then “teach” you how to cook your food. "
You spread the special butter on the meat, cook for a minute, then start on the vegetables. Only add the special sauces when your food is cooked.” I suppose they repeat these instructions umpteen times per day.
I think Japanese people are very clever to come up with this concept. They charge restaurant prices for fast food to be cooked by customers themselves. Cool right?
Which brings me to this, I was telling my friend,"
Hey, this concept so clever hor! I think it suits me lor, that is, if I open a restaurant. I don't know how to cook mah. So I shall start a restaurant with a similar concept, then tell people that I have ultra special butter and ultra special sauces that will bound to make your food uber delicious! I just need to prepare the vegetables and maybe marinate the meat a bit. Maybe the marinating part, I will engage Mr Eeyore to do it. He's better at these stuffs than me. Then hor, if people say my food nice, I tell them it's because of my ultra special butter and ultra special sauces. If they say not nice hor, I tell them it's because they don't know how to cook lor! Try harder next time! No need to stress about how good the food will taste, it shall be their individual style and responsibility. Like, cool right?”
Granted, the food is actually ok, but not much variety. They only have like 95% beef dishes (which I don't take) and remaining 5% chicken and salmon. Actually, if I don't remember wrongly, that 5% is like only 4 dishes. Talk about variety.
I guess I will not be stepping into
Pepper Lunch for quite sometime. That is, until I want to try some cooking on my own.

其实， 我是个容易满足的女孩。
在大雨天， 享用一碗热腾腾的板面也足以让我感觉幸福。
幸福 就是这么简单。

The Post-Christmas Post//Listening to: Belinda Carlisle - Circle in the SandI know this post has been way way past post-Christmas, but anyway, here goes.
Christmas eve was a quiet affair spent at
Mr Eeyore's house, eating Chinese takeaway food aka 煮炒 and watching "
Narnia". It was a little different from past years whereby we would spend the night squeezing among the sweaty and rowdy crowd at Orchard, with
strangers spraying confetti or bottles of "
snow" at your faces and you don't know whether to laugh at them or laugh with them. Sometimes, I do not understand why Singaporeans make it a must to get out of the house during Christmas eves. It seems as though we would be deemed "losers" if we do not have any programmes for the said occasion. I suppose in other countries, people would most probably spend the night having a quiet dinner with close ones, and would likely to get out on Christmas day itself or Boxing day. I don't know, maybe someday I shall spend Christmas overseas, or maybe someday, I might contradict my notion of "quiet Christmas eves" altogether.
Christmas day was spent with the colleagues BBQ-ing. We had a small gathering at
S's condo and because we had such kickass commitee members (me included) and I make such kickass invitations, we had a wonderful BBQ so far. Because I did not know how to operate Mr Eeyore's camera phone as superbly as my own lost phone, I did not take much photos. Anyway, here goes.

Food in preparation
Nice Bee hoon!
X'mas Logcake
5 Litre Heineken
Frankly speaking, I think we had more alcohol than food in reality. We had 4 bottles of red wine, one bottle of 1 litre plain vodka, one bottle of 1 litre peach vodka and one barrel of 5-litre Heineken.
Horrible I tell you! People were watching down from their units to see a bunch of crazy gals bbq-ing in the hot afternoon sun and ranting in loud voices. At one point, I think PS shouted "I AM NOT WEARING PUSH-UP!" Total 丢脸! We later conspired to throw her into the pool to wake her up, of course with much ranting and struggling.
The most 丢脸 thing is, the next slot user for the BBQ pit was a young chap in his twenties and he said, "You had a wild party just now? I saw a bunch of crazy gals...." Throw face until don't know where to hide.
But of course, we would like to emphasize that we are afterall, NOT alcoholics. We are just dipsomaniacs. If you know what that means.
So, what are you gonna do this New Year eve? I swear I'm gonna get out of the house this time round.
