#Ondeh Ondeh Cake

[buffetlicious]

So what did ended up on My Dessert Plates? The Burnt Cheesecake is sinfully good, worth going for second piece. The Longan Tart was surprisingly pretty delicious too followed by the not too sweet Pecan Tart. The Swiss Rolls on the second plate were just passable and the New York Cheesecake not rich enough for me but the Ondeh Ondeh Cake turned out nice though I would rather eat the actual one made from glutinous rice flour filled with sweetened desiccated coconut.

Ended the seafood feast with a cup of Double Chocolate Ice Cream filled with rich bitter chocolaty flavour and crunchy dark chocolate chips. Also had a cup of hot peppermint tea to wash down all the delectable food. As I must head back to the office for overtime work after this, I asked my dining partner if he had his fill and was ready to leave and that concluded our Father’s Day dinner outing.

To summarize the dinner, it featured plenty of seafood like lobster, shellfish, crab and fish done in many cooking styles. If you are a fan of seafood, you did be wowed by the spreads which strangely doesn’t have freshly shucked oysters. This International Seafood Dinner Buffet is really a good value and we each paid about S$77 after factoring in the service charge and GST. Too bad the restaurant has since increased the price to S$88++ a pax which works out to be in the region of S$105 after adding on the service and tax.

cas + local snacks icons for @spnpocdirectory's cultural exchange event day 1

snacks explanation below cut

i'm from Singapore but also these are probably popular in other areas of SEA

first icon: iced gem biscuits

i know these are british but they were just such a constant in my childhood i had to use them. tbh i don't even like them as much but they were just at every birthday party i went to LMAO. also they're multicoloured <3 🏳️‍🌈

second icon: kuehs

to be specific: rainbow kueh lapis (the rainbow one 🏳️‍🌈), ondeh ondeh (the green ball with coconut flakes), and tutu kueh (white one). i don't think there is a translation for the word kueh but they're essentially just bite-sized snacks/desserts. rainbow kueh is made of soft and chewy multicoloured layers stacked on one another. you can technically bite into one as a whole and eat it quick but most people would peel off each layer and eat each separately. ondeh ondeh are pandan infused rice flour dough rolled into a ball which is filled with a palm sugar filling and coated with coconut flakes. tutu kueh is a steamed rice flour cake filled with a coconut filling.

third icon: potato wheel crackers

damn tumblr deleted this section so i gotta rewrite 😭😭😭 anyways, this shit was so fucking good i used to eat them during every single recess in primary school. i rmbr they used to cost like 20cents for a small packet, and now thats probably a dollar. but god these are amazing.

via AsiaOne, 16 February 2023: Singapore’s Peranakan Museum reopens after a four-year renovation. At 39 Armenian Street stands a three-storey building in a fresh coat of mint green and white, looking decidedly like a giant ondeh ondeh cake — and, like the nyonya kueh, it is equally inviting. While you can’t take a bite out of it, the refreshed Peranakan Museum — which reopens its doors after…

2022, The Year of Growth

Well, 2022 officially ended, it’s currently 020123 1121H. I’m currently at Mellower, a cafe near Bugis station in Singapore. Ordered a $9 pour-over coffee (Why is pour over so expensive when the equipment needed is so much cheaper than espressos?), and writing a brief reflection on the year of 2022. So many things happened recently and in the past year. I was recently appointed as 2IC (Second-in-Command) and will serve a term of three months before appointing the next one. That aside, let’s take a trip down memory lane, month by month, and see how 2022 helped me to grow.

January Here’s the turning point of my life, really, enlistment month. Jan 2nd, I shaved off all my hair, and on Jan 6th, I reported to camp, ready (or not so ready), for my first day on Tekong Island. After falling sick, and booking out, during confinement week, I went home for a short rest before heading back in, and on January 21st, alongside my section mates, we all booked out for the first time together, taking a commemorative photo on the bus. Special shoutout to my section mates Jeremy, PC, Hifzillah, Hansel, Enrico, Solomon, Darren, Xavier, John, Wei Zhe, Theijes, and Taiyu for sticking it through BMT together.

February Queue my obsession with Coffee and cafe hopping. During the next few months, I spent so much money on cafe hopping with my friend Irving.; It was... pretty bad. We went once per bookout, going to roughly 4 or 5 cafes per session. My bank account would not be this sad if we had cut back on the amount of cafes we went to. Oh yea, we also went to PS Cafe at Dempsey Hill, and there was this mad cute waitress there. Her smile, the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Even though she was wearing a mask, the way her eyes smiled as well, oh man. My friends also threw me an early birthday celebration and I got to eat Aunty Shirley’s to-die-for Ondeh Ondeh Cake. My cousin’s threw me a celebration as well, it was a lovely time. On my actual birthday, I went shopping by myself, I ate at a semi fancy Japanese restaurant, and bought myself a watch, further expanding my watch collection.

March POP loh! Congrats to Mohawk Company on the Passing Out Parade, although virtual, it was definitely a celebratory moment. Completion of our 2 months in Tekong Island. I received the “Best in Platoon” award. We got a 5 day block leave, which I fell sick on and wasted 5 days of leave, but received our postings on the Friday of that week. SEA SOLDIER, it said. What’s that? well.... it’s essentially a naval security trooper. I dreaded the idea of being a security trooper, after all, they were just called glorified security guards. However, I would come to call ourselves as Base Defense Specialists. I reported to IDTI (Island Defense Training Instituition) at Clementi Camp for a 5 week security trooper course. Aside from that, I went to Uncle Alvin’s house and prepared a 3 course meal with Ashley for friends. It was a sashimi starter, which required some plating work, a beef steak served with sweet potato puree, and desert was an apple ratatouille with fresh cream.

April First ever bouldering session at Bukit Timah Bff Climb w/ PC and Enrico. Absolutely grateful to PC for introducing us to this sport. We started climbing more with friends from BMT, and still do to this day. At IDTI I learned to fire a GPMG, really cool. One thing to note, this gun can explode... so ya gotta move quick. All in all, what an experience, not every0one is trained to fire 2 guns. Halfway through april, I graduated from IDTI and earned my second “Best in Platoon” award. From here, I was posted to DSTB (Defense and Security Training Branch) at Tuas Naval Base. Here, we went through a 3 week Naval Conversion Course. After which I graduated, without an award :( ahahahahah.

May Welcome to Changi Defense Squadron. I was resolute on joining the boating team at Changi Naval Base. After arguing my way to be posted far from my home, I was informed that, due to my health, I would be unable to join that boating team. During another short 3 week training course at HQ, we took a couple tests, and turned out on the last day of our training. I will never forget that turnout. Officers we had never seen before kicked open the door with a speaker blasting an air raid siren and started shouting at us. Since we had never seen them before, and as they were not in uniform, we all thought it was a prank played on us by our seniors. However, with the emergence of our training officer, we scrambled our bearings together and rushed downstairs. It is here, that I would like to note that, since this was the last day, we all had made Ice tea to consume together. However, we were forced to pour it out and fill our bottles back up with water. being in a rush, this left us with a mixture of half ice tea half water. After dropping 60 over push ups, and bear crawling around the parking lot, we stood at attention for a water parade, where, our officer instructed us to pour our water over ourselves reasoning that “Y’all are sea soldiers. Why y’all scared of a bit of water. You think the rain will stop for you isit? Fucking pour the water now!” Yea, fun times.

210522 Well, this was it, the last straw. I know this is already a pretty long post, but I think this was probably one of the most important days of the year. The last few messages I ever sent to Nat. It probably wasn’t the best way to end things? Neither was it very conclusive? I just kinda stopped texting her after that. From graduation till this day, I texted her every now and then to check up on her, hoping that a relationship was still possible after I made my return to Canada. Today was the final day. The whole time I was writing posts about giving up, I never actually meant them. It was the sort of copium you’d think it was. Delusional. It was tough. tough not to talk to her, tough not to want to just slip a message to her. Just to say hi or something. But anyways, it’s been, what, 7 months now? I hit the living fuck out of the gym, I started going out with friends more, I started to seize life by the throat, I didn’t want to wait around any longer. I think I can confidently say I’m no longer obsessed with the delusion, but I do think she still holds a very special place in my heart, i just, never want to see her again. Well, this would make class reunions a little biut awkward, but oh well. Yeah, I wish I don’t see or hear from her again, who knows what will happen if I do. But you know what they say, be careful what you wish for.

June Gym, and a lot of it. I started experiencing bad back pain back in April. This was when one of my sergeants in IDTI suggested I start training my back. He noticed that my arms and chest were developed, however, my back might not have had the strength to support that weight. So, well, here begins my gym journey. I never really documented any progress, just took the occasional mirror photo every once in a while. But, I started off not being able to deadlift, now hitting 150kg 1 rep. Benching 60kg, and squatting 60kg. I gained overall probably another 6kg, but It’s not all muscle. Working on that.

To Be Cont’d...

Brough mum to the now defunct Common Chefs Bistro at Jalan Legundi, Sembawang for an early dinner. Ordered myself the Duro Pork Chop (S$18+) with two juicy and succulent slices of bone-in pork chop drizzled with balsamic vinegar infused sauce and a sprinkling of thymes. Served with two sides of fries and a helping of mixed vegetables salad.

Got mum the spicy Arrabbiata Minced Beef & Mushroom Spaghetti (S$12+). The pasta looks good to me with the sprinkled grated cheese and herbs but mum don’t appreciate the spiciness of the chilli padi (bird's eye chilli).

To finish off the meal, a slice of local flavoured Ondeh Ondeh Cake (S$7.50+). Three slices of pandan flavoured sponge cake sandwiching two layers of desiccated coconut cooked with gula melaka (palm sugar) and more grated coconut sprinkled on top and around. Although a likeable dessert but I still missed the traditional ondeh ondeh snack.

15/8/2023 - Lunch

BYD by 1826, Boat Quay

3 course set lunch for $18++

Song Hua Egg Tofu Salad

House-made silken tofu with half a century egg. Tofu is rather smooth. The middle of the century egg could be meltier (heh)

Dolphin's Treasure Sea Bass

Fish was cooked alright. Served with baby carrots, potatoes and asparagus. The assam sauce is super punchy.

Matcha Gateaux

Seems like matcha mousse atop a biscuit base. Not bad but not the best either. Ondeh cake tastes one step below Cedele's

Iced Latte

Decent coffee

Mango Ondeh-Ondeh on Mother's Day

After lifting the lid

Of the white cake box

With a pink carnation

And lovely gold lettering

Taped on top

I picked up the plastic knife

And cut small pieces

For the mothers

Who were watching k-drama

Intently

And on high definition

I tasted light pandan sponge

And sweet coconut

Under fresh cream

Laced with lovely

Mango purée

Local traditional flavours

Baked with a modern twist

Illuminating the golden years

Of kampung houses

Rice cakes on banana leaves

Harvest from coconut trees

Hard labour toiled

In home kitchens

By mothers and wives

And celebrating our love

And their sacrifices

For our growth

By giving them back

With bites of cake

And a relaxing weekend

In front of the telly

Happy Mother's Day
