It pays to wait before you make your purchase sometimes!
I wanted to get the pink tote bag with this month's Female mag but all I've seen were the yucky green ones.
So, I waited, and waited... and I went to lotsa places, watching out for it...
And ta-daaaah!! Today, I saw it!! The one and only Female with a PINK tote bag!! I grabbed it and yippeee!! It's mine!
And I've also held off buying this month's Her World cause of a sense of unease somehow... call it 6th sense or something... and today, at the newstands, a copy of Her World came along with three free bottles of chicken essence!!
My spate of bad luck's changing to good luck now! Feng1 shui3 luen2 liu2 zuan3!! The tides are turning for me! Whoooppeee!! -

Went to Times the Bookshop at Centrepoint today and was shocked to see how much smaller it has become!
I entered the shop and went straight to the cookbooks on display and with special discounts and didn't turn back to look, and the suddenly, when I turned around, I was !!! Soooo small!! It's really a fraction of its old space!
Anyways, they have selected books on discount right now. You can pick up a copy of their latest brochure to have a look-see.
They also have a Sudoku hand-held LCD game at a great price!
And oh, check out their cookbooks on discount! There are three new local publications at 20% off. -
Thanks for the tip on Times, Rhonda. Borders also have many cookbooks at discounted prices, usually around $11.95. But they are big books which are difficult to read in bed.

A few years back, a trend started - chefs started to write cookbooks in proliferation! Before that, only a few notable chefs had their cookbooks out in the market but since that trend, I've found that I tend to gravitate towards cookbooks that were written by prominent chefs.Originally posted by Wanda:Thanks for the tip on Times, Rhonda. Borders also have many cookbooks at discounted prices, usually around $11.95. But they are big books which are difficult to read in bed.
One of the most expensive, but my favourite cookbooks, is one by Jean-Georges Vongerichten entitled, Jean Georges : Cooking At Home with a Four-Star Chef (Hardcover).
The chocolate lava cake, y'know, that dessert where you dig into the cake and warm fudge just oozes out from the centre? That recipe was popularised by him.
That book brings wonderful memories flooding back to me because my American ex and I had dinner at Vong's, his Asian fusion restaurant in busy NYC! He had to make a reservation months ahead to ensure we had a table! Take a look at the menu!

Fine dining... my first time in such an expensive restaurant! 
But omigosh, the food was to die for!! 
And oh, sometimes, I wonder if those big compendiums have reliable recipes. -

Mad about Food, the version with photos, by food columnist Sylvia Tan;
Lust, by Audrey Tan, a chocolate cookbook; and
Tempt, by Betty Saw, a cookbook on muffins.
All of these are going for about S$22++ now, pre-GST. -

Fine dining... my first time in such an expensive restaurant! But omigosh, the food was to die for!! And they use szechuan peppercorns too...I have those at home still unused....they kind of numb your tongue and lips after a while....interesting sensation. -
We had the Black Plate! It was darn expensive but soooo goooood!
I dream of the day that I'll return there again! -
Y'know Florida's Natural Fruit Juices that you can get at Cold Storage? They're always a tad expensive.
Well, they've come out with cute little versions of their fruit juice paks and inside, you find fruit juice nuggets!! They come in three flavours currently - Apple, Orange and Strawberry, and they're available at 7-Eleven's outlets for $2-something each!
They're sooo cute too!
My favourite - the Strawberry! But of course!

OK, going to close this thread, and re-start it with a better title!
