sipping hot cocoa in freezing winter :)

The temperature is falling by the day and the weather forecast says there'll be flurries of snow tonight and tomorrow. Exciting! So before I cycle home in the -5deg coldness, I shall update you friends on our lives...

We cook dinner on most days. One day Chinese, one day Western. Our culinary skills have drastically improved, I must say. Jemmy can fry a perfectly-shaped and perfect-tasting ham omelette. Yey! Exchange mates in Europe are welcomed to visit us in our little village of Hattenheim and we'll serve our 拿手好菜: sweet-sour pork, mushroom chicken in teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce cabbage... and ham omelette!
Every Thurs, we have our 3 lovely French pals Elodie, Marjoline and Sophie over to for Asian-French dinner, sort-of. So far, we've had Chinese food (I contributed curry chicken!), French food (quiche, pies and smelly cheese), and tonight it's Boys-cooking night! Jem wants to rush home to prepare soon, and so I hurry.

I've heard from my auntie that Germany is devoid of Asian stuff. Heh luckily it's not true. We frequent the Hong Kong Express at Wiesbaden station, thought I embarrassed myself by talking excitedly in Canto the first time I was there, only to have the Asian-looking woman replying me in German. (Hello HK express don't speak Canto?!) In Mainz we went to Thai Express! It tasted really Thai (yey!) but the serving was so Angmoh.

And the most exciting news: We found an Asian supermarket! Woohoo! We went crazy la, bought teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce, soysauce, egg noodles, 1kg jasmine rice... They even have CaiXin and XiaoBaiCai!
