A Bunny Sandwich

Having been inspired by the Easter bunny shape, I decide to create my own bunny sandwiches just by using a pair of kitchen scissors and some wholemeal bread. As for the filling, I emulate the recipe from a Japanese Express-Cooking TV Program.

Ingredients for the Sandwich Filling

Mashed Bananas (half-ripe)
Creamy Peanut Butter
Pure Honey

Compound all the ingredients and slather in between the wholemeal bread.

Tip: Toast the wholemeal bread first before cutting out the bunny shape; the bread will toughen up and make it easier to cut into the desired shape.

Final touch: Use a culinary paintbrush and some Hershey’s Chocolate syrup to adorn the bunny!

Serve & Relish!

Gourmet Tea Packaging…….Singapore

“Drinking a cuppa is no longer just a cup of hot water and teabag, but with discernment”

I am quite impressed with the individual packaging cum labeling (Tea Character, Tea Pairing Suggestions et al).

Perhaps tea purveyors should take a leaf out of Gryphon’s book!

If you are a Macadamia Nut Lover…

Here’s some good tidings:

I stumbled across a good assortment of flavored-Macadamia Nuts fortuitously at Pat’s Oven. Noted for its unique acquired taste, which either you love till death or discard the idea of even looking at it. The bite-size similar to a candlenut’s is just impeccable; not too small like the chickpea or as big as the Brazil nut. The flavoring-robe melts tenderly in your mouth unveiling a delicate crunchiness and beguiling natural-sweetness which ensues incessant popping. My dad who is a finicky nut eater conceded and raised his right thumb. "No hint of rancid trace", he mused.  And both of our beloved flavor is the “Honey”!

So, where to find Pat’s Oven?

These words may interest you, especially if you are a Food Junkie…

Fairy Cakes may sound cherubic but they are just Cup Cakes!

Beefcake is absolutely inedible and actually refers to the brawny men whom you will always spot on a man’s briefs billboard!

Busboy or Busgirl – You will not find him / her working in a bus terminal but rather a dining establishment; clearing and cleaning your table. Just remember to say “Thank You”!

Sweetbread – This word has nothing to do with the sweetness of bread. It simply refers to the pancreas or thymus gland of a calf or lamb which is used for food.

Watering Hole is not a gardening term but a place (bar/saloon) where you can purchase your Bloody Mary. No bubble tea, please!

"QQ Soya Bean"…….Singapore

SGD 2.00 Per Tub

QQ Almond-flavored frozen soya bean curd is a cut above the rest with its satiny-smooth vibe bursting in fragrant nutty notes of almonds. Its consistent texture glides slickly down your palate and is guaranteed eupeptic; befitting all ages and races. There is absolutely no hint of syrup in this mellow bean curd and it truly lives up to the Asian Version of ‘Crème Brulée’!  If you wish to add a little punch, I would recommend you to garnish atop with canned longans or sea coconut strips for some gusto to your dessert time!

Greenhouse…….Ritz Carlton Hotel, Singapore

Special Thanks to my host who has graciously invited me to a Friday Seafood Buffet Dinner at the Greenhouse of Ritz Carlton Hotel.

The moment you sashay in, you will be greeted by the jade-like fairy-floral adorning the front and center. Quite a divine view!

(Vast Ocean-fresh Seafood Sideboard)

The sideboards are cleverly arranged along the aisle; thus creating a conspicuous food scene and plenty of room for diners to sashay around!

Some tantalizing highlights:

(I like the way they accentuate their array of food!)

(French Farmhouse Cheese Platter)

(Ice-Cream & Sorbet Parlour;

A rare sight in the local buffet scene!)

(Artisanal Cakes for Dessert)

(Moët & Chandon: not suitable for teetotalers but

available unlimitedly to wine connoisseurs during the

Sunday Vintage Champagne Brunch.*)

(The pianist will showcase his tunes during Brunchtime.*)

(My host’s most favorite Table No.65 which

overlooks the lush greenery.)

It is one of the best and inviting dinner buffets I had so far. Highly recommended to empty nesters to indulge yourselves since the restaurant offers half-price tags to golden agers (60years & above) for their Saturday Asian Seafood Buffet Lunch (Regular Price:SGD58++ Per Adult) & Sunday Asian Seafood Buffet Dinner (Regular Price SGD:66++ Per Adult)!*

On our way out, we heard a handsome vocal emitting across and we bolted to take a peek. It’s the Chihuly Lounge!

A lovely array of scarlet-red roses that greeted us at the

heart of the lounge!

My host promises a return visit to Chihuly Lounge on another day, which I am looking forward to in anticipation!
