I finally have a dining table! For the past few weeks I’ve been eating off one of those breakfast-in-bed trays by setting it up on the floor, or just holding my bowl up while on the sofa. After some shopping around and kinda fed up with dining on the floor, I bought myself a 5-piece dining set from Freedom Furniture.
I must admit though, whilst their furniture look a little more classy than Ikea’s, the assembly is not as friendly (some of the holes not drilled thorough enough), or as solid in material. Too bad I chose aesthetics over functionality this time around. Well, what’s more important is, I have a table to eat on! Yay!
And now for my second part of the post…
I was tagged both by velverse and Giddy Tiger on what my favourite food is in my state or country. Well, even though I’m far away from my KL home, nothing’s like eating old-fashioned roti bakar right here in my Sydney apartment! For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it’s actually butter and kaya (or coconut jam) on toast bread.
The authentic roti bakar is made by spreading a thick layer of butter and kaya on thick Hainanese-style bread, then toasting it in a small toaster oven for a few minutes till golden brown. Since I don’t have one of those handy ovens, I just pop a couple of white bread slices into the normal bread toaster, get it nice and crisp, spread as much butter and jam on it as I like (make sure it’s oozing!), and take a big, BIG bite… yummmm!
