Steamed Cake - 第一次

今天7.00pm 出office。跑去NTUC 买了self-baking flour;鸡蛋10粒;Nestle cream一罐170g;peanut crunchy (pure) 一瓶 16oz;Ragu Tomato Sauce (for Pizza);Grape fruit 3粒;家里还有coconut cream;unsalted butter;准备回去尝试作steamed cake。

出来在 Old Chang Kee 买了一个咖喱卜,2 串Spicy Cuttlefish (现在promotion $80c/ 串)。开心地边走边吃。

到家开始准备 -

大概大概用150~180g self-baking flour,6粒鸡蛋(大粒),30g butter (不想放太多,最近一直用butter烤pumpkin 吃,有点儿燥热),200ml coconut cream (主要是与鸡蛋搭配制造kaya 口味),搅拌,使劲儿地搅拌,然后加入peanut crunchy 50g 左右,再次使劲儿地搅拌,最后觉得差不多了,放入电饭锅里开始加热。仅仅10几分钟就从cooking 跳到keeping warm;就这样放在里面焖着!Peanut 的香味儿已经不可抑制地弥漫 ... ... 我担心会掩盖住 kaya 的味道?

金黄的颜色,膨胀松软的糕体,一根牙签插进去再拔出来,不带丝毫。现在仍旧在锅里自然冷却 ... ...
不知味道如何? 期待明天早上。我要带到 office 去展示一番。嘿嘿嘿。



现在正在膨胀中,拍的效果实在不好。










买的cream 没有用,留着下次做 ice cream?那就要买 chocolate powder !

后记:最后没有带到office,因为是很健康的调料,全都没有加糖,而且买的peanut source 也是不含糖的那种,所以味道淡淡的,一定非常人所能接受的。不过后来自己吃倒是很喜欢!有淡淡的花生清香。



The Cabinet 舞台剧《内衣阁》-经典台词

PM拿着一份《联合早报》说道,“这上面最多废话了”。

内衣size 不对,那么你最需要的是 - PAP - Pad And Pins - 内衣大了,就多塞点儿pads;内衣穿着小,就用 pins 别住。

你以为我不想退休么? 我不能看着我辛苦建立起来的王国毁了。我可以暂时离开。但是有什么事情发生,我还是会回来。

SM 说,“你付的薪水太少了。她去买多多,就是买一个希望。”

The Cabinet 舞台剧《内衣阁》

因为《联合早报》 的宣传,知道这部舞台剧。难得在新加坡看到华文剧,特地跑去看。

两边应该是议员的席位吧?我坐在对面的观众席上,小二层,居高临下。
The Arts House - Chamber  旧国会大厦 - 议事厅

2010年月28日 星期三

看报纸知道了这部华文剧,正好趁今天有时间跑去“The Arts House”看这部评论很多台词影射新加坡政党、政治、又诙谐幽默的剧,更何况是首度进入旧国会大厦(Old Parliament House)议事厅这个曾经呼风唤雨的政治舞台上表演?

《内衣阁》是一部“戏中戏”,演员扮演剧场工作者。一部即将上映的舞台剧的男主角(MRT 导演/演员/编剧)的衣柜(cabinet)里收藏了21件纯白内衣,每一件都纪念一位他曾经的恋人。虽然三天之后就将上映,却在这三天排练的时间内,状况百出,不知如何是好?围绕着全体成员包括MM(marketing manager)、PM(production manager)、SM(stage manager)、ATM(assistant technical manager)与男主角MRT(Multi-Role Talent) 之间的合作与冲突,对话不时影射政治以及PAP,并探讨了接班人和嗜癖的问题,很有政治意味。剧里出现SM(国务资政)、MM(内阁资政)和PM(总理)的称呼,很容易让公众把角色和内阁挂钩。
应该是体会到政党对人民深刻的影响力了。

表演也十分尽兴。比电影有过之而无不及。

最棒的是曾经的“议事厅”当作表演的舞台,更是为这部剧增色。

我们 office   一行人乘坐 Sentosa Express  来到这座赌城。

用“老照片”格式拍摄

巨大复杂的顶棚
颜色绚丽
最先看到这个餐馆,名字取得好“如意”!
如果写上大大的华文字,会更悦目。
Welcome !
福廊:Bread Talk 的天下!
喷泉旁边有小孩就活跃。
面包物语,多么日式的名字。
原来这个集团公司与日本合作密切!
刚刚庆祝10周年。真是发展迅速啊。
创建者当年只是在台湾摆小吃摊,仅仅在10年之内已经发展成上市公司。
面包物语的对面是该公司刚刚与日本合作发展的“拉面事业”- Ramen Play,还没有去尝试过。
面包物语的旁边是“Toast Box”- 咖啡店,也属于Bread Talk。最喜欢他们的 Laksa !
还有温馨的怀旧味道。
环境优雅。
橱窗最下面大大的蛋糕是十分有南洋特色的香蕉蛋糕 Banana Cake !
进门右手边的角落 - 挂好帽子,挂好手袋。嘿嘿。
诱人的面包啊,面包物语,我无语。
对比起来,有颜色更诱人?!
花花世界,play play
上扶梯,穿厅堂,经过一间间知名品牌店,。。。
来到我们要吃饭的地方 - FENG SHUI INN
希望有好运。
饭前留影,我的同事们。

吃饭的过程还是愉快的。老板没有骂人,因为在office 已经骂完了。
最后结账一看,好贵啊。
一瓶Tiger (小瓶)啤酒$9;
一碗甜品“杨枝干露”$6;
一盘“干煸四季豆”$36;
一盘“咸蛋黄虾球”$52;
...
幸好老板请客。

吃完晚饭出来,要回去了。最后来一张。
不知何意?如相扑运动员。
下楼梯,没有不舍。
如此金银打造的奢华,没有触动心灵的激动。
不是公司活动,我不会来这里。

Sentosa Express:人潮如织。
