Day 4

This weekend I went to the Peranakan Museum as Mum won 2 complimentary tickets to the museum from some contest. Had I known earlier that the admission ticket was so affordable (only $6!!) perhaps I would've spent one of my lazy weekends there instead of complaining of having nowhere to go.

The museum is pretty small with not many exhibits to see. Whatever if there is just enough to cover the key aspects of Peranakan culture and lifestyle. Actually to me there is not much difference between the Peranakan culture and Chinese culture, apart from their well-known form-fitting attire, and their love for secondary colours. In fact, I thought that it is not as flavorful as the Chinese culture. The tour was interesting mainly because of the presentation and maintenance of the exhibits, and the outstanding volunteer guides. We were lucky to have quite a pretty lady that spoke in elegant albeit halting English.

More interesting things ensued at home. For the second time Leng and I succeeded at making quiche :) It was quite funny really cos midway in cooking we ran out of gas so we had to scrap all plans of using the stove and bake everything. We also made this really unfair pact that I'd cut the brocoli while she bought the milk. Leng again got the longer end of the stick when I was forced to revealed to her the secret ingredients that went into marinating the chicken....

 Nice roasted chicken drumsticks for dinner.

And prawn + brocoli quiche.
