Yay, back to my err... not too lovely apartment at the moment. I managed to get on the non-stop flight to new york so I'm back one day earlier than I expected. The new 18hr flight was nice with enough leg-room to actually stretch my legs fully. Or maybe I'm just short. Let's not even pursue that train of thought right now. *grump* darling is staring at me as I blog right now...*grump grump grump* *snarf snarf snarf*
Anyway, took the 11pm shortline bus to Ithaca and got home at 4am. The apartment smelled kinda musty. After airing it, had to re-wash the dishes, cutlery etc while the noodles were cooking. Then had to get rid of the gross moldy crap (i.e oyster sauce and pasta sauce) that was left in the house. And then mopping floor etc.... Not quite what I thought it would be when I get home -- just change the sheets and throw myself into bed. Haven't even unpacked yet. Still need to get the car jump started and collect our mail from YawShin. Yeah random chores. And I thought I could just settle in and start cooking my sumptious meals :) Maybe not that sumptious lah.
One of the good things about going overseas is that there is actually motivation to cook. That only applies if you have your own kitchen. Sharing a communal bath and kitchen is kinda put-offing. Not least because of the disappearing food from the fridge. Now in my own little apartment I can experiment with little dishes once in a while. Perhaps it helps if you have an appreciative little piggy for a darling who says everything tastes good :P
While we were in Singapore, we went to a German restaurant twice. I have to say pork knuckles tastes much better than I imagined it to be. Don't mistake me, it was actually really delicious. The flesh was tender and soft. But what really lured us back was the portabella mushroom appetizer. Just for the record, the restaurant is called Paulaner Brauhaus and it's at Millenia Walk. So yeah, now I'm inspired to cook up some yummy portabella mushroom dish since both of us love it so. off to find some handy recipes now. Ciao. :)

Hmmm... one Never hears of German cuisine. Italian yes, French yes. But almost Never German. Interesting.. I must try it some day. :)
Hey...I LOVE Portabella mushrooms also! Yumz..used to sautee them in tasty sesame sauce i bought from Japan. Hope everything will go well for u this coming year! And come bk as a terrific cook, muahaha
As far as I can tell, the specialty of German cuisine is pork knuckle, random assortment of sausages and saurkraut.
Yeah but having a positive experience with some exotic sounding food is making me want to try more food stuff I have never tried before :) Don't think I'll really be a good cook tho :P
