Woot darlings, purple swirls make cupcakes seeexxy!
Had some left-over blueberries after baking YC a blueberry cheesecake last week, and decided to finish the remnants of the ingredients yesterday. Cupcakes are easy to make, especially if you have a mixer at hand. Simply mix the ingredients, divide them into cups and send them into the oven. This time though, I decided not to mix the blueberries in with the rest of the ingredients. Uniformly blue cupcakes don’t sound too enticing ya? Adding the berries last to each cup individually and then swirling it with a toothpick gave a much nicer effect — sexiness., though I kept worrying that the berries would get burnt in the oven. Thankfully they didn’t =). It’ll be nutella cupcakes next time round.

Anyway, I’ve been to 3 different celebrations for YC’s birthday. Stuffing myself with good food on the various occasions made it feel like chinese new year all over again. Many many more pounds gained.

And here’s the cheesecake I baked, still in the oven. The cake tin sits in a pan of water in the oven to prevent cracks from forming. The top got a little charred (miscalculation of height of the cake) =(. But no worries, I easily sliced it off once the cake was frozen, and added blueberry toppings.

We did pizzas too. Mummy got her friend to help make the crust. Bread machines are really good for this. So YC and I just had top it with fillings and loads of cheese and send it into the oven. Yummy.

Mummy and I made onek-oneks too. No photos of those unfortunately.

And so, with some grilled chicken wings and nacho chips we are set for our little tea party =)

Dinner that evening was at 8881, a hawker stall in some industrial estate. YC kept raving about the hotplate oyster omelette there. But much to our dissappointment, the stall had switched management =(. Dinner was uneventful, apart from guessing the waitress’ age and witnessing a brown rat run past.

It was back to YC’s house for the cake. Here’s us posing with the cake. 
The auto mode of my cam sucks. 

And the cake I baked. It tasted like a normal cheesecake!! =)

Then last Tuesday after school and malay lesson, YC’s medfac buddies and us went down to Samy’s curry restaurant (my favourite curry place!!) for another mini celebration. Samy’s isn’t quite what one calls authentic Indian food. The indian spices they use aren’t too strong, it’s pretty spicy and very very tasty. A pity though that they toned down on the spiciness, I quite like the tangy taste they had initially. And KW managed to got us the most chocolaty cake ever. The Project Shop has nice cakes =). Anyway, Samy’s located at the previous civil service club on Dempsey Road. That’s a nice quiet subcity area with a couple of wine bars tucked away in a corner.

And on Wed night, YC’s parents treated me to an ala-carte buffet at the Saltwater Restaurant (The Changi Village Hotel). They had small little portions of asian and western delicacies. Quality wasn’t fantastic, but I like their satays and salads. Could do better quantity-wise too, currently it’s only a slice of codfish if you make the order and likewise for the rendang lamb. Service, on the other hand, was fantastic. Staff visited us occassionally to make sure our meals were going smoothly, and they even had a small surprise for YC. At the end of the meal, they gathered round and sang him a birthday song. We got a cocktail each and a whole chocolate cake on the house, heh. Photos are with YC since I forgot my cam.

Gotta run now, YC’s coming. We’ll be going jogging later to lose the pounds we’ve been loading. So so fat now. =(
