Yummy Cendol with red beans |
I had lunch today with my aunt at an Oo White Coffee outlet near us. She was looking forward to some herbal soup but unfortunately they didn't do it today so we settled for Ipoh Sar Hor Fun, which was not nearly as good as the original. Nevertheless, we made up for it by pampering ourselves with a large bowl of cendol each! Now that we've got all that sugar in us, we've got to get moving and do that walk in the park tomorrow morning!

Lunch Today
It's always good to have a plate of good old fish and chips, though the chips were not crispy but the fish was good, warm and crispy! I guess the chips had been fried sometime earlier and had become soft. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my lunch and may consider returning again to this cafe another time!

Breakfast Today
I had a hearty "English" breakfast today - sausage, egg, ham and toast with a cup of milk. I have made a rule that I shall not have any oats (my daily gruel) over the weekends to give myself a treat and also for that extra boost for the week ahead!

Two for Tea
Two scrumptious cream puffs for tea today bought from a wellknown patisserie in town. They were oozing with fresh cream and each bite was heavenly!
Here's what I found from the net about the origins of cream puffs:
Legend has it that cream puffs were invented by a French chef named Pantanelli during the 16th century reign of King Henry II. The story goes that Pantanelli was working in the kitchen of Catherine de’ Medici, the queen consort of France, when he accidentally created the first cream puff by adding too much flour to a pastry dough. Rather than discarding the dough, he baked it anyway and filled the resulting puff with a mixture of whipped cream and pastry cream. The cream puff was an instant hit, and it quickly became a popular dessert in France and beyond.
Alas, too much of a good thing is not good, so they say, so I shall have to be careful and watch what I eat in the future!
Meantime, viva la chou ala creme!
