Home blended apricot peach smoothie

With both special occasions near by one another (Christmas and New Year), needless to say, EVERYONE is overindulging. Myself, a sinner also.

Excess spicy food, excess chilli, excess alchohol, excess junk food/chips, excess meat, under-excess water = constipation.

I decided to blend my own smoothie hoping to help me in my bowels.

Bought some apricot yoghurt, milk, peaches and bbbbbllllleeeennndddddddddddddd into one delicious smoothie :)

So much more delicious and fruitful than the ones you have from the juice bars. And oh yeah, a lot more cheaper too!

But did it help me clear my bowels? No...... but something else did. In a horrible, nasty, suffering way (To be continued....)

Konig Ludwig Beer from the comfort of home

Demona: I miss you, Mr. KonigLudwig. I miss sipping down, your golden bubbly bits, trickling down my throat... ahhhhhh. Florally, refreshing. JW, if you're reading this.. I do, terribly miss our after-work days clanking our Konig pint glasses to some good music in Wala Wala. There isn't a place here that could give me such an euphoric feel. After work days are mostly occupied by.. bad traffic, or swims (luckily there was something good!)

After viewing my new place to be, I walked over to Hartamas Shopping Centre for some window shopping. Whilst strolling around the alcohol section in Mercato.... I saw you.. you... you.. Mr.Konig, all stacked up with the rest of your clan. Sadly, almost all the bottles were slightly covered with dirt (Shows not many people took notice of 'em).

A bottle cost RM 16.90 (I've also seen more expensive price tags on it in some other places).

Gasps. So expensive here and it isn't even draught. I surely miss the buy1 (SGD 16) free1 days in WalaWala.

For crave sake, I bought a bottle.
We also had a Konig glass at home, so it was like.. rekindling the days of WalaWala, with not so-refreshing and tasty Konig (since it wasn't draught), and the only music I could get was Dogma strumming my guitar.

Man... satisfaction.. UNfulfilled.

Olde' skool breakfast@Prima Restaurant, Taipingtown

Every trip back to our cozy warm and humid home town, Taiping, has always bring back a special heart warming feeling to both Demona and Dogma... One of the more popular kopitiam in Taiping recently is the Prima Restaurant near the local municipal building.

Always packed, yet not with the best kopi or food around.... but it just seem natural to be here whenever you are back in taiping....
Chill out spot u might call it.

Pictured here are the Wan Tan Mee and Nasi Lemak....
Greasy, meaty, and packed with a ton of homely flavour...
MMM I miss Taiping!


PS: THe sweet Limonata from San Pellegrino..Sparking lemon juice... thou i find the San Pellegrino sparkling fruit beverage series a tad on the too sweet side.... some of their flavours are ourright funky flavoured...

Double dates@Wala Wala, Holland Village

Demona: It was the Valentine's Day weekend, and the boys were totally broke, outta' idea, bored.. *yawns*. Aileen and I crossed our arms and shook our heads with disbelief.

Demona: "Hmm... Wala Wala then? Near home, can have some drinks and good music."
Dogma : "Sounds like a good plan!" (Cantik la.. 5 mins drive, CHEAP drinks, got ambience, skip LV,GC,Coach bags etc, skip extravagant dinners, skip chocolates, skip presents blablabla...."



Demona: Man.. ain't we ladies easily satisfied? Give us some chiccccc-ken wings, some potatooooooo-wedges and our mouths are full, our hearts are satisfied. No sophisticated losbter bisque, grilled lamb shank with rosemary mashed potatoes, light fluffy creamy coffee tirasimu, swirling over riedel glasses of bordeoux wines.

Demon: Warfiener, the taste didn't leave much impression. Pale coloured like beer, kinda' reminded us of Anchor beer. *yawns*

Demona: Konig! ME favourite-tieeeee! I've developed the liking for it so much that this is the beer that I order everytime I'm here. Refereshing, with a hint of sweet and bitterness, this beer really gives you the *gulps* and ," Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....." at the end of it.

All in all. We shall give it a hand to the guys. Though they did not do much, it was still quite nice chilling out as double dates, overbloating ourselves with beer and junk food. Totally ain't sophisticated and romantic at all, but dang..raw deal like this is so much better. The night had been fun.

FULL ON FUN!

Except.....

when Dogma was enjoying getting pinched and touched by someone else... Grrrrr... (Dogma, you know who)

San Pellegrino Shootout

Demona and me has been a fan of sparkling water for some time. Some may ask why and we will tell you the reason.

Post dinner , demona/dogma craving for some chilled beer or a nice red wine..
as thrifty as ever, both switch on their mental calculator and started picit picit.
Demona: 1 beer = 3-5SGD + getting fatty with many calories. 1 wine = 30SGD -120SGD Plus get lobstery (flushed face)
Dogma: 1 beer = fatty + many calories. 1 wine = 50sgd to 150sgd ( the difference in cost coz dogma always reveal the imaginary lower end of the wine price to demona) plus bad liver.

Demona + Dogma: 1 sparkling water = 3SGD = refreshing taste + cleansing feeling + no calories..YEY!!!

We both enjoyed the Saint Perrier Sparkling water with Lemon zest very much and today we went further by trying some flavoured sparkling water from San Pellegrino.

They are quite natural in taste but did not really set a deep impression on us.
Limonita: Sparkling water with 12% of pure Lemon juice. Well Demona find it very similar to Orangina ( but hey, one is Orange the other is Lemon?) and i tend to agree with her. Packing a good punch of lemon zest in it with some bitter ending. Ok la, but its kinda too sweet for my liking. I very much prefer a super sour lemon juice..
Chinotto: This is damn funky. Made from Chinotto fruit and some herbs, the juice is outright medicinal and weird. Tasted like some sweetened root of some plant, bordering on Sarsi. Demona took a sip and left me the rest. Ok la, yamseng, i drink it all up. I doubt this will be popular among the consumers

Arancita: We did not took picture of this but it tasted like an Orange peel juice (or some rather say, the white orange skin). A more dense bitterness compared to limonita with zesty orange juice. Not too bad but not great either. Still a tad too sweet..
