Updates?

Realised that this blog hasn't been updated more than 1 year!!! (0_o)
Does it mean that we (the four of us) hasn't been EATING for that long?!
Well, no, at least not for me.

I have taken lots of photos, of what I've eaten, created and all sorts. Just that Didn't have the time to upload them on this blog. Sad to say, the rest of the members of this blog had perpetually forgotten about its existence...

Looking back, it's only Litterstar and I(hellownurse) who have been updating anyway.

Retirement

I know it's a little early to be thinking about this topic right now, however due to some reasons, this is inevitable. Of course this post have to be something to do with food, or else it wouldn't be under "Smelly Tofu".

Since this blog belong to the four of us (Although only 2 of us are currently kinda using this blog at the moment) I think this suggestion would be kind of related. Basically, as any conventional Singaporean girl, I have thought about this idea of opening a café or small restaurant as a business for retirement. Of course this would be a project for the four of us. A café that sells simple food and sandwiches, with a place that allow people to perform. Maybe in this life, we will not be able to perform as an artist, hence why not provide a space/venue, and allow other rising young artist to have this opportunity?

Other retirement suggestions would include, opening a themed shop.

Chicken Enchiladas

Chicken Enchiladas, originally uploaded by litter.

nice! cheesy, definately. But gotta eat it fast. If not... it'll become disgusting...

Food I had in School so far

Here are the food I had so far in Toulouse University's RestroU. Main dish are reasonably okay, for me the exciting thing is always the dessert! Like today, it's my first time eating floating island!!! It's really tastey! Yum! The first dish on the far left is a stew meat with cooked spinach and potato. The photo on the far right, which is my lunch today, is a rice dish, with tomato stewed meat and buttered auvergine... Yum! I kept the Yogaurt and bread home for dessert later.

Sebastien's Bistrot (Follow up)

The decor of the Bistro was rather French Countryside, feels really at home. Hence it's not a place with exhuberant decor which make you feel uncomfortable.

The entree was a simple and nice salmon salade. Large and thinly sliced, the smoke salmon is eaten with a mixture of fresh vegetables, like rockets..etc. Top with a little balsamic vinegar and a few little saltish fruit, which taste more like salted olives. It was a perfect mix. For a taste of real good salmon, you totally have to try this salade!

The main course which I've ordered is nice, simple catch of the day, with nicely home cooked tomatoe sauce and beans. The fish is fresh and simply pan fried in olive oil, which bring out its natural flavour. The beans are steamed and well cooked to perfection, eaten with home cooked tomatoe source.

Cappucino was great! Basically you can taste the true blue concentrated coffee i.e. espresso, mixed with a right percentage of fresh wipped cream. Yes, infact this is the correct way to brew a cup of coffee. In case you didn't know, all coffees, be it cafe long, cafe au lait, cappuccino, cafe americano... etc. are started from espresso. Yes, basically a good barista will have to learn how to make a nice, concentrated coffee, which extracts the goodness of the coffee bean, leaving out the bad taste. And from this base i.e. espresso, they will add other ingredient i.e. chocolate, whipped cream, milk; which will then make up the capuccino or the coffee americano that you've ordered.

Last but not least, the ever divine desert!!! Yes, going to any french restaurant, the desert is a MUST TRY! I've chosen the melon desert. It comes with a ball of house made melon sorbet (yet, it's made from fresh honey dew), a little sandwich of melon between two pie crust, and a little group of berries (rasberry) that serves as a decor as well as to blend in with the sweetness of this desert.

Conclusion: This is a nice cosy restaurant for french food that is made to suit local Singaporean taste. Alot of people say that french food is the "Jia buey bah" (cannot feel full), kind of dish, well you're totally wrong! It's a total myth!

Sebastien's Bistrot

Minced Meat in lettuce wrap


Cappucino

I've finally gotten round to posting them! Taken almost 3 weeks ago!! o(O_O)o At Sebastien's Bistrot, a nice little quaint place at Greenwood Ave (Bukit Timah).

The place is easily accessible -- by car. If you're going to take public transport, be prepared to walk. It's walkable. If only the sun wasn't blazing with no mercy.

Interior wise, very French. As in, even the toilet signs are written in French. Evidently, they expect their diners to have some knowledge of France... push & pull signages are also in french. It's a French restaurant, serving new-age french cusine. (Accordingly to our residential french woman.)

Servings are well proportioned, and you have a choice of 2 or 3 course set lunch. Be prepared to pay more as when asked for water, you'll be served a bottle of mineral water. So, it's lots of $$$.

The food is simply delightful to look at. Tastes lovely too! Won't mind going once more, if only I can find a driver who's willing to take me along... 

A glimpse into the past.

Traditional Local Snack.

I wonder how many people have tasted it before?

It's rather small. Sweet. Comes in 2 colours only -- Pink & White. Made from flour. Chewy. You can get it from those traditional confectionary only. Modern bakeries do not sell them. It's very difficult to find them these days, cos not too many eat them, and many do not know how to make them.
