Koay Teow Th'ng

I finally learnt how to make one of my favourite Malaysian soup dish. Th'ng is soup in Hokkien or Teochew.

Johanna had made this successfully a few times in the last few months. Since she is busy lately I just asked her for the recipe and made it myself. Yum!

Weekend with Janet & Duane and Alex

We had Janet & Duane over at our place for dinner for the second time. They are shifting to their new home at Waverley Park, which is close to 30km from where we are right now. So we have to treasure their last few weekends at St Kilda Road. We also invited our housemate, Alex along.

Johanna is quite busy with exams so I had agreed to cook. I had decided to learn how to make spaghetti marinara and scallop for starters. Alex had made some lovely chocolate brownies for dessert. We also had some white wine to accompany the food. I wasn't that satisfied with the starter and main course I made. Still a lot of room to improve. But it was a great experience to learn something new as I've been lazy to learn new recipes for quite some time.



We ended up watching "Twin Towers" after dinner. I've run out of good movies to watch and decided to watch this movie I've acquired quite a while ago. It turned out to be quite boring. Nevertheless, I hope Janet, Duane and Alex enjoyed the evening.

Jonathan & Nancy

It has been more than half a year since Jo and I arrived in London. Finally, we've managed to get Johanna's cousin - Jonathan, and girlfriend Nancy to visit us at our flat. Both are musicians playing for reputable orchestras.
