カラオケ + アーケード + 栄 + 夏日霜

Hi everyone!

Realised that I have not been blogging much these few days. ごめん~

I'll be blogging again real soon once my new video is uploaded. YouTube is like suuuper slow lah!!!

A few weeks back, I went out with a few bloggers on a Friday night!



Had Go Go Curry for dinner cos both Domo and Himeko never had it before.



We ordered 2 of the Grand Slam to share.
Himeko shared with Ringo and I shared with Domo!

Seriously, I always heard people said that the Go Go Curry at 313 @ Somerset is nicer and stuff.
After trying the one at Ion that evening, yes I have to agree, the one at 313 is much much better!

Plus! Service is also better!

After dinner, we headed to Party World at Internation Plaza (I think).



It's my very first time going to a Party World outlet.
Hmm... Still, I prefer Cash Studio! Lol~



Emo songs were the most sang that night! Ow man~ We not emo, keep singing SOOOOo many emo songs for what?!



But then again, we got super high starting with Himeko and I 'singing' all the KPop songs which we have totally no idea how to sing at all other than the first few sentences of each chorus!

And also, my siao-high air guitar sure was crazy. Or at least, I think so... =P



Duet with Domo!!!



After karaoke, we headed to Starbucks for some drinks before going home and here are the pop cake thingy which I've forgotten the name of that Domo, Himeko and I had.



My Caramel Hot Chocolate



Domo! Her bag so cute lah!

Last Saturday, I met the gitls, again, together with Yijing for spa after my dance practice in the morning!



May blog about it again some other time...



Headed to the arcade at Tiong Bahru Plaza after that for Bishi Bashi



Cheese~~~



And start!



Don't know why on earth were their expressions all so serious, especially Ringo!

Like c'mon! It's Bishi Bashi!!!



The 2 Leos didn't play. (Himeko and I)



Yijing super pro lah! She was like 3 or 4 stages away to complete the whole game lah!
*Ahem* With one play only okay~!



Headed to Sakae for tea, or rather dinner for me, and chitty chatty!



Domo's ice blended. I forgot what flavour liao~

I had my usual Swedish Berries Hot Tea which looks like pad with blood as always. -_-
I'm so used to people having a shock or something every time they first see me drinking that!

And nope I didn't take a photo of my tea cos I find it kinda redundant to take photo of a drink that I have like 90% of the time I go Coffee Bean.

But since it's so amusing, Himeko did take a photo of it and here it is.



How? What do you think?

So after our chit chat session till like 9pm, we headed 'home'.
Okay~ I headed down to town to meet my friends as we were catching Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D that night at Cineleisure.





Summer Frost at *Scape



I seriously like this photo especially with Daniel smiling like that in it!



The guys playing air hockey on Xiang Min's ipad.



Dans - Danny and Daniel



Uncle Xiang Min!!!! Lol~



XM had Matcha Red Bean Frost



The Dans both had Oreo Chocolate Frost



And my Red Velvet Frost which is practically strawberries

Yum yum~

And yes! After having our summer frost, we headed over to Cineleisure for the Panda!
So so funny! Go watch go watch!!!

Oki! That's all for now!
Will be back soon!

XOXO Tsuriki

Korean Spicy Rice Cake 떡볶이

Hi everyone!
Ok! It's been a long time since I last blog on recipes for food.
This is gonna be the first time I'm blogging on recipe that's not on dessert.
Lol~

I totally love Korean Spicy Rice Cake ever since like 6-7 years ago.
Although I'm a person that doesn't eat chili and either do I usually spicy food but still I love TteokBokKi!

Yup, korean spicy rice cake is called 떡볶이 in Korean pronounced as Tteok-Bok-Ki (トッポッキ).



So now! I'm gonna share with everyone how to cook TteokBokKi yourself!
Ok. I wanna add that this recipe is what I came up with after looking through many different recipes I can find online and on YouTube.
I modified the recipe a little cos I couldn't find some ingredients.

So! Here's the ingredients needed, or rather I used!



  • Onions

  • Carrot

  • Spring onions

  • A packet of TteokBokKi.
    I bought this packet from the Korean 'supermarket' at Square2.

  • TteokBokKi paste.
    You can always get TteokBokKi sauce instead if you don't feel confident making your own sauce.
    But if you do get the sauce, you can just heat the sauce and put in the rice cake, cook at low heat till the rice cake is soft




  • The packet of tteokbokki I bought. Got this packet for around $6.
    There are quite a few choices of tteokbokki at the supermarket so I just bought the cheapest one. =P



    The TteokBokKi paste I bought. I got this bottle for around $4. Seriously...
    I still have half a bottle left even after making that huge pot of tteokbokki!



    Ok. I read online in a certain recipe that if you buy the instant tteokbokki like the one I bought, you have to soak it in water for around 20 minutes first.

    Seriously, I think that's a huge mistake!

    I'm not too sure about other brands, but if you're gonna get the exact packet that I got, DO NOT SOAK IT!!! Just leave it out to defrost while you prepare the other ingredients.



    So yes, I soaked my rice cake. T-T

    I seriously think that's why my rice cake was not able to absorb the taste of the sauce later on because it's "filled with water"! TAT



    Cut my onions into big slices as I'm making onion stock for the base instead of anchovy stock as I couldn't find them!
    So if you could, it's of course better to use anchovy to boil you stock first!



    Carrots and spring onions prepared!



    3-4 cups of water + onions + carrots

    Like mentioned, if you have anchovy, use anchovy and boil them in 4 cups of water for about 10 mins.



    So yes... leave it to boil for around 10 mins.



    While waiting, grab a drink! Muahahaha~

    OK. If you're wondering, yes I bleached my eyebrows that's why they are so much lighter.
    And this photo was taken like 2-3 days after I bleached them.
    TADA! Now you know... Lol



    Drained the water for the rice cakes after I finished my packet of drink.



    So after boiling for around 10 mins, if you used anchovy, remove them from the water.



    Else, let's continue!



    Add about 350ml of tteokbokki paste into the stock.
    If you want your tteokbokki to be more spicy, well go ahead and add more!

    By right, you need to add in some sugar depending on how sweet you want your rice cake to be, I didn't add in any cause there's no more sugar in the house! T-T

    So ya, if you're adding, you can add before or after the tteokbokki paste. =)



    Stir well!



    Add in your rice cakes!



    Stir well



    Let it boil for about 3 minutes on medium heat.
    Remember to check and stir well from time to time.



    Add in spring onions



    Leave it to boil on low heat till sauce thickens.
    And still, remember to check from time to time and stir well! =)



    And TADA!!! Your very own TteokBokKi!





    드립니다!(いただきます!)

    So I hope everyone enjoy this post on how to cook tteokbokki!

    じゃ、今ここまで。
    안녕!(バイバイ!)
