Happy New 2010 - Farewell 2009!

It has been quite a year, not only on the homefront (and the world!) but also on a personal level too for me. Now, it's time to usher in 2010 - I can't believe that it's been 10 years since the big hoo ha over 2000's millenium bug! Do you all remember what were you doing 10 years ago on New Year's Eve back in 2000? :o)

Let's look forward to an even bigger, brighter and better year ahead. Thanks for dropping by, see you next year!

Klondike Bar

Merry Christmas everyone!....I guess some of us are nursing a hangover, having already celebrated and/or still celebrating the holidays till 2009 is over. I have been busy myself and finally got a chance to sit down long enough to blog.

While I haven't been drinking at the bar during this festive season, I love recalling my indulgence in this particular 'bar". This time, on one of my fave dessert when I was in San Francisco - THE Klondike Bar. This simple square vanilla ice cream coated with a lovely thick chocolate flavoured coating (now even with a thicker chocolatey shell is simply divine.

With nice, smooth and creamy vanilla ice-cream, biting into one of these Klondike Bar is a heavenly mouthful. There are several varieties like Heath, Krunch, Oreo, Reese's, Neapolitan to name a few, my favourite is still the Original Klondike Bar. At around USD2.50-4 (depending on which retail outlet and promotion) for a pack of 6, there's no reason not to pick up a pack (or two) whenever I'm visiting USA :o)





As their famous tagline goes -What would you do for a Klondike Bar??? :o)


HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Mr Chiam's Goodies Stall, Brickfields

Having being reminded by Masak-Masak about this 27 year old stall, we made a trip to this place (it has been awhile since I last visited Brickfields). We didn't come here for the curry puffs nor the kuih bakul or the banana fritters but specifically for the sesame seed balls - calling and ordering ahead. Of course, we picked up the some of the other goodies while we were there in the end.

We had arrived to picked up our order which was already packed and was about to go off when Mr Chiam mentioned that he was going to fry another batch of sesame seed balls. So I stuck around a while longer and took some pics.

What a handful! Grabbing four sesame seed balls at one time, Mr Chiam drops it onto the wire ladle dipped into the hot boiling oil one at a time in quick succession....
