The Foodie Bazaar Short Story

If Bacterialogist Alexander Fleming was still alive to this day, he would had stumbled upon this blog and I am sure he would had found a bloggie mold! and made another discovery to a whole new antibacterial substance or whatever it may be and named it anti-peni-blog. LOL.

Anyway, following the success of Bloggers Bazaar months ago, another Foodie Bazaar was organised on last 25 July 2010. Oh my! I am sure to be the last person to post about the fun-filled Bazaar.

The turn out was awesome! About 200 people came to buy and have fun mingling with friends and family at the Bazaar. I was told a total of 18 vendors took part in the Bazaar - selling food, clothes and handicrafts items too.

Look at my stall, sitting pretty at one corner hehehe =) I was selling Dry Lontong. It is basically the same as the original Lontong, only that this is without the gravy - Lodeh.


Ahhh ... these are not off-springs of Paul the Octopus. No blood connection at all! Tempura Marinated Baby Octopus is created by Master-Chef-in-the-making Thanis. It was selling like goreng pisang! =)

When will be the next Bazaar? Will it be a mega Bazaar? Stay tune people ...

Lontong without Lodeh

While on food hunts during CQ's recent trip back to the Lion City, CQ found this new dish ~ Lontong Kering (literally it means Dry Lontong) at one of the stalls in the new Geylang Food Court.

Lontong Kering is similar to the original Lontong except that Longtong Kering is served without the lodeh (milky gravy with vegetables, tofu or soyabean cake). It is definitely on CQ's must-cook-recipes in the near future :)

This is the new building for the wet and dry market in Geylang Serai. The famous old building had been demolished to give way to a new one with more stalls and better facilities.. but CQ felt that the old Geylang Serai should have been preserved ... as symbolic as it can be ..to walk down memory lane.

CQ meets Spanish bloggers

Is there any better way to end your year 2009? Indeed, there was! It was a rare chance to meet and dine with fellow bloggers from Spain! here in Brunei.

CQ was so ever thankful to Senor Pablo for giving CQ this great opportunity to meet the two Spanish Bloggers - Inaki and Esther, who are visiting Brunei Darussalam to document on the local cuisine. Both Inaki and Esther have tried most of the local dishes, especially the famous traditional Ambuyat.

Last night, we had a simple yet pretty dinner at Senor Pablo's crib. Among the dishes prepared for our Spanish guests were - Grilled Fish with soya sauce, Prawn Asam Rebus, Stir-fry Pakis, Umbut2 (palm shoot) cooked in coconut milk, Belutak (marinated beef), Tarap fritters and Pandan tea.

Hope to meet our special guests - Inaki and Esther, again in the future.. perhaps in Spain!?

Finale - group photo

Foodie event

Ciliqueen will be there!

Too much too little

Have you ever wonder or give a serious thought as to how much sugar content comes within the food we eat??

You will be surprised if not shocked ...when you look at these pictures - that CQ got through a forwarded email. It may or may not be the exact measurement but you can take it as guidelines the amount of sugar that goes tagging along with the food that you eat.

Giving up any of the above?? Do some serious thinking now!

Latest update . . .
