fortune cookies

(i typed dis into word... then copy paste. but blogspot din add my pics in. so i'll add them nxt time.) (i tried uploading them again. din work. gonna give p now. use ur imagination =p)
Yesterday i woke up at about 11 n got dressed then went downstairs n had 2 half boiled eggs for breakfast. Then I walked to jia xin’s (JX) place to wait for ming yuen (MY) to pick me up. (MY picked JX up at 1u b4 comin to pick me up) then the 3 of us went to centrepoint for lunch n also to buy the ingredients for the fortune cookies. Everything at the restaurant we went to was so expensive, so I settled on juz eating kaya toast as it was the most ‘worth it’s price’ thing I cud find on the menu.


MY on the left n JX on the right.

As we were finishing, a group of aunties came in n they decided dat they wanted our table despite there being another empty table available. So they stood around our table n 1 even plopped herself into the chair nxt to mine! Then they juz rudely stared at us while talking among themselves about wanting our table. The nerve! It was so totally rude! So we took our time finishing our drinks. Haha~ Juz coz they r older than us it doesn’t give them the right to behave so obnoxiously!

After lunch we went to buy the ingredients n went back to MY’s place where I discovered dat she din have an oven!!!! How in the world were we supposed to bake wifout an oven??? In the end we used the microwave oven. I hate using the microwave oven to bake coz:
1) u can only bake 3 fortune cookies at a time
2) u have to squint into the oven to check if the cookies r browning, which is very bad for eyes
3) u cant preheat it n its difficult to estimate the heat

anyway, here r a few pics I took of the baking process.

After doin the cookies for quite awhile, I decided to snap a few photo’s of MY’s huge hse.

After sum camwhoring, we continues wif the cookies. But there were too many rejectcookies dat refused to fold nicely, so we decided to make nestum cookies instead.

The maid was cooking our dinner

A modified recipe from the original recipe dat was meant to be fortune cookies. Wonder wad will happen?

The result: Semi-burnt cookies

We took a break for dinner n unknown to me (I wasn’t wearing a watch) it was already 9!!! We still had 1 more batch of cookies to go so we hurried to finish it. But by then I tink we had kinda outstayed our welcome coz MY’s mum kept fretting bout how late it was n dat driving late at nite in kl wasn’t safe. So mid-way thru, we decided to call it quits she sent us home. I hope we din get MY into trouble… in the end I tink it was quite a waste of time n effort mainly coz of the microwave. I mean baking 3 cookies at a time when u can bake about 20 in a normal oven at 1 time?? Summore there were so many rejects dat we ended up wif about 2 dozen cookies only. *sigh* it was a day dat started out happy but ended pathetically.
