Was at a huge and popular club in Ancol with Christina and Andrew and friends on Friday. They are amazing drinkers. Finished 2 bottles of premium whiskey amongst 6 of them, with the first half a bottle downed in first 15 minutes. I drank next to nothing, how I manage to do it cannot be divulge for now. Anyway, according to Chris, they are all mothers out to get drunk for the night. Haven't gotten their names though. Music was too loud.
Called Ah Li and Ah Ang on Saturday for lunch. Drove ourselves to an Art Auction in a private hall in Thamrin area. Pissed, they valet everyone's car except mine, claiming not enough manpower. Must be the nasty green colour. Bought nothing, but feasted on the great local buffet though.
As much as possible, we cook. Because we think that our foods are tastier and healthier.
Wife's maiden try at baking cookies. Very interesting. Did not know that cookies expand upon baking! Then, there's the unexpected uneven browning on lower tray of oven. Sri suggested sugar levels be reduced and rotating of tray. Strangely, upper tray browned evenly. For a first-timer, I think they are pretty tasty. Must consult sister, the cookie guru, on making it better.
Fish head curry was not perfect. Sri added too much water. But the fish was fantastic. Red garoupa. Super ex. That fish uncle taught me how to identify garopas. Dong Xing, Tai Xing, Kang Xing, Lau Shu Ban, Lau Hu Ban, etc... The spots identify where the fishes are found - deep sea or shallow sea or in the middle. Deep sea ones cannot be farmed. Because I am very particular about my garoupas. They must be caught off the sea, not any other ways.
Salted veg duck was tasty but again, not perfect. Used the wrong sour plums. Soup was a bit too sweet but still likeable. Kampong duck's texture after long simmering remains perfect.

Gregory, as usual, is happy that I'm home to play with him all weekend.
