Liquid Kitchen
I love chilling out with friends and just catching up with them, so i am constantly on the lookout for good places to chill! Few days ago, i went to Liquid Kitchen in Serangoon Gardens to chill with a few friends. It was quite a nice place to chill esp with their on-going House pour promotion! I did try out their food as well! tried the slow roasted spring chicken but was terribly disappointed ): the chicken was too dry, not only the breast meat but the thigh as well! its either the over cooked the chicken or left it in the fridge for too long and the meat dried up! didnt try their finger food like potato wedges but will try their other finger food next time, as they have a big variety!
the best part of the whole experience there was the drinks! the promotion was house pours for $5 nett! i had whisky dry, which was whisky and ginger ale. ( am i right? correct me if im wrong! ). My dear friend, guangs, picked the drink out for me and i was so grateful! haha it was a good drink! i tried the vodka cranberry as well but i felt that the cranberry taste overpowered the vodka.
also, they have promotion for a pint of Erdinger for $11++ ( cant really rmbr the price ) and a pint of tiger for $8++ ( also cant rmbr heh ). i will definitely go back for more of the house pour promotion before it ends!

Oreo Cheesecake!
Oreo Cheesecake
For cake base:
2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
3 tbsp melted butter
For cake:
3 pack of cream cheese softened
1 can Sweetened condensed milk ( try to get the low fat one, it will make u feel better haha )
1/4 cup sugar ( i omitted this )
1 tbsp flour
3 eggs
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 pack Oreo cookies squashed (but not crumbs)
Oreo cookies for garnish if desired
Method:
Preheat oven to 150° C. Grease 9-inch springform pan.
Fill an oven tray 3/4 full with warm water. Set on bottom oven rack while oven is preheating. This is to prevent the cheesecake from cracking when it is baking in the oven.
Gently pour batter evenly onto prebaked crust

Poached Eggs!
Have you ever had eggs benedict? I absolutely love it! its a poached egg served with bacon on an english muffin with hollandaise sauce. so basically poaching eggs is like cooking the egg in a pot of water without the shell. well, sounds easy right? haha
Egg poaching is awesome because u dont have to use oil and its very eggy! a perfect poached egg consist of a runny yolk, a thin layer of eggwhite over the yolk and no raw eggwhite parts left. You might run into some difficulties at first but just keep trying until u get the perfect poached eggs!
Poached eggs
2 eggs ( or how many u wanna eat )
3 tsp salt
1 shallow pan ( or thick pan but i prefer using a shallow one)
water to cover more than half of the pan
vinegar (optional but i dont like using it as it spoils the taste)
Fill the pan with water and bring to boil. Once it is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and swirl the water in the pan to a smooth circular motion.
Crack the eggs into a small saucer or ramekin and slip the eggs in one at a time into the centre of the whirlpool.
Allow the eggs to sit in the water until the whites around it begin to firm up and form a crust around the yolk.
Remove eggs gently with slotted spoon or ur steamboat ladle and gently tap out excess water.
Plate them straight onto your muffin or toast and enjoy with salt and pepper or hollandaise sauce.
Enjoy!
