Phwoarrr. Today's so hot - actually, it has been really warm and humid lately - I feel as though my face has been naturally moisturised by the heat. I met my friends for lunch at Wimbly Lu cafe at their Jalan Riang outlet which is tucked somewhere in a quaint and quiet neighbourhood in Serangoon. A really nice place to chill. Kind of whimsical as well. For the mains, we ordered a waffle topped with ice cream and fruits, chicken and avocado open sourdough sandwich with cheese, and sakura ebi aglio olio with chili, and then we finished off our lunch with Wimbly Lu's handcrafted chocolates in an assortment of flavours. I have to say that, despite Wimbly Lu being a brunch place, their sakura ebi aglio olio was not a disappointment. In fact, it is now one of my favourite aglio olio pasta. Well...if you know me, you will know that I love garlic and (olive) oil based pasta... As usual, I am ending my blog post with some photos I took (except for the wefies), because why not. Good things need to be shared. :)

I have been cooking more regularly at home, attempting to dish out the best aglio olio sauce-based pasta (to my liking :P), if you see or have seen the few posts before this.
Lately, I am in love with Marutai ramen (マルタイラーメン) - Don Don Donki here sells a wide range of flavours. My favourites are the tonkotsu (豚骨) ramen broths, especially the Nagahama (長浜) and Kagoshima (鹿児島) variations which are really homey, and the Miyazaki (宮崎) spicy ramen broth which is legitimately spicy enough by Japanese standards. Last Saturday, I decided to purchase Marutai's Tan Tan Maze Soba (担々まぜそば) because I just wanted to try something different. The dan dan noodles are slightly thicker than their ramen counterpart and more springy. I added stir-fried garlic-ginger minced pork and wood ear fungus (in place of bok choy) for some crunch, and completed the dish with a hard boiled egg. The only gripe was that it was not spicy enough...not that I can eat a whole chili padi on its own (I'd regret if I did)...well, it's not supposed to be Sichuan style. Despite the ridiculously warm weather, I decided to cook spicy pork bacon and mushroom pasta for lunch today with my mom’s help. *perspires*
Need I mention it was delicious. A colourful and sumptuous dish…well worth persevering in the heat! Off goes the pan-seared marinated chicken drumsticks and wings into the pot of curry. The potatoes too.
