Another baking-related post :P<br /><br />Just now i experimented with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondant">fondant</a> making. If you dont know what is fondant, here's the definition : <em>An icing made of sugar syrup and glucose, which is cooked to a specific temperature and then kneaded to a smooth, soft paste. This paste can then be colored or flavored and used as an icing for cakes and petit fours.</em><br /><em></em><br /><br />If you ever see smooth surfaced cakes like this ...<br /><br /><p align="center">Plan to use the fondant to cover some cupcakes...dont wanto be too adventurous on my first try with fondant...

It was written in a bid to win the MyPrivilegeBook 2009 in a competition organized by kuchingbloggers.com and Ivoq Concept and guess who got the consolation prize?? :)<br /><br />I was sooooo happy and pleasantly surprised cos i think my post was rather shabby compared to the others...but who cares...now i have my very own copy of MyPrivilegeBook 2009!!<br /><br />Went to collect it last Friday at The Spring...they gave me...<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BejDXl-SngI/SUZAcpR4BWI/AAAAAAAAEA4/bIgoITX6uE0/s1600-h/IMG_8596.JPG">*happy*

The <a href="http://www.greenbento.com/">Green Bento</a> company (the one of its kind office lunch delivery service) has just opened a Dine-in,Drive-in and Delivery concept outlet opposite the SUPP HQ.<br /><br />We went on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted with empty tables... <br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BejDXl-SngI/STzcIEFZF5I/AAAAAAAAD_Y/Yor0YV2iZWs/s1600-h/DSC05403.JPG">Well, i just hope they would improve on their food soon if they are going to open a dine-in outlet. Being a lunch delivery service, customers won't be so critical on the food and price as you have to give them some credits for the free and punctual delivery service...but if they are planning to be successful in this dine-in thingy...they should really improve...

Some of you who have been following my blog since last year might have read about my post where i talked about how <a href="http://pinkcotton.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-privilege-book.html">i've won the MyPrivilegeBook 2008</a> from my post about <a href="http://pinkcotton.blogspot.com/2008/04/desserts.html">Desserts</a>.<br /><br />I have been contemplating on purchasing the 2008 My Privilege book since its launch on the 1st of January 2008 but my procrastination got the better of me until i actually won a free copy! I was so excited when i first received it and i spent the whole afternoon flipping through the book to find out where i can go to get special discounts.<br /><br />I was so impressed to see that MyPrivilegeBook has managed to compile discount coupons and even coupons for free stuff from so many different merchants and they are popular ones too! Like Desserts, the Star Cineplex, JF Beauty, Anna Cake Training Center and many more! These are among my favourite merchants! :)<br /><br />My most precious MyPrivilegeBook coupon would have to be the Buy 1 free 1 coupons from Desserts! I really love those coupons so much! And i now have one more Buy 1 free 1 TRIPLE SCOOP ice cream which i am going to enjoy before the year ends.<br /><br />Because of this, i am really interested in getting another copy of MyPrivilegeBook 2009...i think it is really worth its retail price for all the discounts and savings you can get in one little book!<br /><p>If i am given another free book for the year...i think i would be so happy i would be grinning from ear to ear <s>and wagging my tail off</s></p><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BejDXl-SngI/STqqOmV_iSI/AAAAAAAAD9o/k_A3bWuLhk4/s1600-h/DSC_0271.JPG">

One fine Friday, 3 of us decided to take leave on the same day for a secret rendezvous...<br /><br />Secret as in not letting any other people in the family know we are not workign la...but at the end, it wasnt much of a secret anyway *shrugs*<br /><br />To start the day off, we went for a dim sum breakfast at Xin Tsui Siang in the Petanak area (next to Frydays Chicken)<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BejDXl-SngI/SSeBBBT1VBI/AAAAAAAAD6E/ctqSUYyHk5M/s1600-h/1-menu.JPG">Seems more like a eating day than a shopping day ho? *burp*
