The Good Stuff Bakery

정말 놀라웠어요. 남편은 아직 공부도하지 않고 한국어 시험에 합격했어요. 인생은 정말 불공평해요. 😩😩😩 

하지만 나에게서 멀리 떨어져 있어야해서 나에게서 복사 할 수 없었기 때문에 점수는 이전 테스트보다 나빴어요. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

=====================================

 

There seems a proliferation of home-businesses, the majority of which popped up during the Circuit Breaker. Drawing from anecdotal evidence, many of these businesses (mainly foodstuffs) started out as care packages during the Circuit Breaker, to feed friends because that's how us Asians show love, and because their foods were so well-received, these home chefs and bakers were inspired (or encouraged as the case may be) to retail their wares online to the general public.

In addition, many of these home businesses were a way to stave off the inexorable boredom of confinement, or in some unfortunate cases, a crucial (and/or supplemental) source of income for those adversely affected by the covid-19 pandemic-caused recession.

Whatever the case, I am wholeheartedly in support of such endeavours #LoveYourLocalSG. In addition to supporting small local businesses, it's altogether an ingenious means to partake in home-cooked cuisine without having to grow a hide thick enough to invite oneself to one's friends' homes.

The Good Stuff Bakery was a care package sent during the Circuit Breaker from a chum, whose brilliant baker of a Gen Z cousin forged this little venture with a partner to handle the operations. I'm no cookie fan like The Husband (whose life's goal is to emulate his idol, Cookie Monster) but one bite and I was in love. 
 
The Earl Grey Magic ($18.90 for large of 14 pcs), dotted with roasted pistachios and white chocolate chunks, was glorious. Chewy, buttery, and addicting, these are possibly the best cookies I've ever had in my life. Better than Ben's Cookies and even Famous Amos. And that probably explains our repeated orders every week since. And sent gifts of TGS cookies to friends we miss (also, if we're going to get fat stuffing our faces with cookies, we figured we'd make all our friends as tubby too teeheehee 😈 #solidarityinfriendship)
That said, the earl grey ones are their best flavour, imo, notwithstanding their purported signature the 'Dark Chocolate Chunk' or their bestseller the 'S'mores'. We've tried them all but none stuck the landing the way the Earl Grey Magic does.

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and stalls are varied enough that multipl

C'est la saison de la soupe. Meme si on n'a pas les quarte saisons à Singapour, le temps devient "pas aussi chaud" vers la fin de l'année; c'est cette période que j'ai envie de soupes et de ragoûts...ils sont très très réconfortants!  Dans d'autres nouvelles, les lumières et décorations de Noël à Rue Orchard sont allumées!! Je ne suis pas sûr pourquoi, mais voir les lumières de Noël me rend toujours heureux. Je pense, c'est peut-être parce que les lumières de Noël signifient l'approche de Noël, ma saison préférée de tous. Même si on ne fête pas Noël pour des raisons religieuses, c'est toujours le temps de la gentillesse et l'amour, toutes les qualités que j'apprécie et chérit. Et parce que tous nos proches resteront à Singapour, nous inaugurerons et passerons les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An avec eux à la maison au lieu. Ce sera certainement un changement, car nous sommes habituellement à l'étranger et nous regardons les feux d
