I seldom have pork chop if I dine in the western restaurant. Normally, I will order either chicken of fish. But this time, I ordered the Hawaiian Pork Chop since chicken and fish are a little bit too boring for me. To my surprise, I made a good decision.

The Hawaiian Pork Chop from The Cartel Cafe is just fantastic. The pork is so soft. Sometimes, pork will have its smell but this Hawaiian Pork Chop has the exclusion. The special Cartel sauce blends well with the pork, make it even better. I like the pineapple too. Besides, there are vegetables and fries. Overall, this Hawaiian Pork Chop is a must try item. Two Thumbs Up!

I called this kaya kuih. I know there is a formal name for it. But I used to call it kaya kuih since I was small.

I like this kaya kuih very much. From one piece for 15 cents to 20 cents until now 40 cents, I still like it so much, especially the kaya. The kaya is the main part of this kuih. Without the kaya, the kuih will not be so good in taste. This is the perfect match.

Oh my…. I want to grab some later tonight.

Steven brought along his specialty Kimchi Fried Rice to the 3rd food blogger gathering, which was held 1 month ago. Personally, I am not a fan of kimchi. The kimchi’s smell will make me away. I tried some when I go to the Korean restaurant and I don’t really like it.

Before I go to the gathering, I told myself I must taste some of it since it was cooked by Steven. However, I never have it since I was not feeling OK after I tasted on several dishes. What a waste. From others, the fried rice was delicious.

Another dish from the 3rd food blogger gathering. It was the Smoked Salmon and Focaccia from Lilian. She prepared them on the spot.

I think I have 2 of them since they are really yummy. Most of the food blogger who attended on that day were really good in cooking. I also hope I can become a good cook in future.

I am totally no idea on what is Plantar Fasciitis when I first saw it. The very first thing I did was, I searched it through Wikipedia. Wikipedia is one of my sources to get information online. It never failed me. OK, back to Plantar Fasciitis.

From Wikipedia, Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia that supports the arch or by biomechanical faults that cause abnormal pronation. The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing or sudden changes in weight bearing or activity.

If you are facing the above problem, one of the ways to relief the pain is trying the night splints. It can help to relief the pain by flexing the foot and toes overnight.

I just finished paying my car installemnt 2 months back. That means, the car is fully owned by me now. However, I still need to pay for the car insurance every year, in order to get my road tax renewed.

My company has a subsidy program for us if we renew the car insurance with them. We get a 2% off. When the due date is near, they will send me an email and ask me to go pay for it. It is very convenient since I no longer need to remember on the due date.

I like to visit show unit for new launch property. Every time I saw the brochure, I am excited and want to go for the review immediately. But most of the time, I am busy and after a while, I will totally forget about it. From the show unit, you can see their interior design including indoor lighting and outdoor lighting. You can get their ideas and use it in your own house.

I have this Clam Chowder at Swensens when I was in Singapore. Normally, I go to Swensens because of its Earthquake. But this time, I just ordered the Clam Chowder for lunch.

Some food bloggers are good at tasting the food while others are good at cooking. For me, I am better in tasting rather than cooking. Below is one of the dish that prepared by one of the food blogger. He is good at both cooking and tasting. The dish is called Oriental & Western Four Season Dish. It consists of Nutmeg Cherry Tomatoes, Spicy Chicken & Abalone Salad, Jack Fruit Pork Strips and Fragrant Sambal Prawns.

Nice presentation!!! I cannot comment on the food since I only have one bite on one of the item. I was so sick until I missed all the great food. Too bad.

From small, I always think of having my own house. This is because I am staying in a rented shop house since I was born until I went for University. I told myself, I need to get one when I have the ability to do so and I did it. With the help from my sister, I managed to get one unit in a condominium 2 years back. Although it is not a landed property and not my dream house, at least, it is my own house. I no longer need to stay in other people’s place. This is the best part.

One of the item from the 3rd food blogger gathering is the sushi. CK is the one responsible for that.

The sushi looks colorful. I manage to take few pieces before I stop eating on that night. Oh, I just like sushi, very nice! Do you notice the plate is big too? It is huge, in fact. LOL.

Will it be another pot luck session in the next gathering? I have no idea.
