wk8; doing the Weekend

Saturday — my boyfriend and i took a day trip to Batam. What seemed to be a fun-filled afternoon turned out to be really dreadful disappointing doom doom doom. The only time i dared to take out my camera was in the ferry thus i present ferry shots! The rest of the time i was pretty much frantic frightened frazzled.

These below were taken before leaving Batam, sunset sampan sea. 

Sunday i cooked. I’m a Real Simple girl and in fact, they were real simple to whip up!


Shrimp with tomatoes and olives served with cous cous


Honey chicken with grilled-corn salad

This is the result of watching too much Top Chef, big itch to cook and my boyfriend would play Judge and spew culinary terms to make me giggle glee giggle.

    Honey chicken with grilled corn salad. My word, I think I’d be saying that repeatedly in my sleep! I wish I were half as gifted as you are in whipping up food :P

    I love your food pictures! I always try to make pretty things but end up destroying everything with sriracha and sweet chili paste, ha.

    You need a fancy umbrella for the next rain! :)

    Oh man your food photos are so amazing…. Aghhh all that stuff looks really delicious! Sorry to hear that your batam trip wasn’t as good as expected. Was it because it got rained out? Must’ve been fun to go for a day trip with your boyfriend though!
