saturday holiday

this morning mingyao arrived at the door with breakfast for 2.5 people (ee jie is half cos she had two hardboiled eggs in the morning)with chee cheong fan, chee kway, char siew bao, pei dan porridge, fried bee hoon, egg tart. i love the pei dan porridge - the right amount of sweetness and the porridge is so smooth, and it's got enough pei dan and minced pork too. we couldn't finish the egg tarts and a char siew bao. yeah breakfast with mingyao is a million and one things.

i dragged mingyao, mark and ee jie to balestier to browse for tiles. mingyao said it felt like when he's waiting for me to choose things at borders, which means i stare at one thing for a million years before deciding. we dropped by a sanitary shop next door and got a lesson on toto's half siphonic flush system wc. i took them to whampoa to see the beautiful mosaics they had there - love the japanese danto ones with the shimmer as well as the matt ones. you can't find these in the common balestier shops. we crossed the road to buy dao sa pia for his mom and i tried the famous 603 one with lotus paste for the first time - the crust is amazingly wonderful - the texture and fragrance is right on.




i totally dig supergrif's d38 range of sanitary fixtures - awesome and simple. and expensive for sure.
