Of Caramel & Green Tea

For today's practical class, we had Commodity Cooking (where we would have a themed ingredient every week and we would have to get recipes that uses that particular ingredient). So, this week's item was lemongrass. I decided to make Lemongrass Infused Creme Brulee. It was really nice and creamy (and lemongrassy) . The only thing gone wrong was that (I think) there wasn't enough egg yolks beaten into the mixture cus the baked custard was quite wet even though it was cooked for the right amount of time. Oh well.. better luck next time!

After our classes were finished for the day, Darren n I made a short pit stop on the way home. Starbucks (the one at Centre Point)! Really satisfied my day! We kinda bought it as our lunch actually. When we got home, we went to the patio to sit at the table to enjoy our drink (and Darren enjoyed some puffs he bought from the college cafeteria).

Then, Darren (being the mo liu person he is) asked me to take pics of him enjoying his 'lunch'. When I was done taking pics of him, he took pics of me for me. He then started to praise himself for taking such nice pics of me (mine wasn't that nice..).

Oh ya.. one more thing. I kinda found out something embaressing about myself on the way home from college. I kinda forgot some of my times-table! -___-"
