Craving for Durian Pengat

Well since I am still on the chatty mood, I might as well chatter about here. Today I bloghopped few blogs, namely Zara (ouch, she's got bad period pains) and Butter Dreams (she's pissed off with hubby, still). I was craving for my pulut rice (check my other blog) and then I saw one that had Durians. I quickly finished my comment and closed it. It just looked too delicious. They say, never go shopping when you are hungry. I'm hungry and I had been blog hopping. The grass is greener on the other side, so my own food pictures do not tempt me at all.

All I want now is some comfort food like Durian Pengat. Anyone tried Durian Pengat before? Wait let me post the picture here..

I do not have one picture of Durian Pengat but I saw one taken for the Ellenborough Market Hotel by Photographer Robert J Steiner. True enough, the Durian Pengat is one of the best selling Dessert in history of Singapore. I remember how I used to go to this EMC outlet to have their Peranakan Buffet and savour this Durian Pengat Dish. No other outlet can beat this one, well almost none other than your own Baba Granny perhaps.

My First Post in Blogger.com

Hello to Bloggers. I wondered why did I started this blog, as a matter of fact. Especially when I already have one at http://mamakshop.com/ of my own domain. Perhaps having a blog with blogger seemed more attractive and also, I find it more user friendly compared to what I had in my wordpress system.

I was bloghopping the other day when I realised that some bloggers who registered with blogspot had comment moderation on. That is fine, just that there were some who do not allow those without a blogger account to post a comment. When that is the case, I usually will post a comment on their shoutbox. But there were those who didn't have them for fear of spam. So I created this one specially so I can talk with those of you. :P

I was also attracted to the fact that I can actually buy my own domain through blogspot here and let them host it for me without additional charge. Did you know that? I pay (not through my nose) monthy for my hosting but in blogger.com you only pay up once for your domain. Hosting is free. That is an offer too good to be true. The only drawback to my buying from here is, I can't pay it using PayPal. I do so want to pay it using my PayPal account. I have to find out if I can purchase it through other domain sites and then bring it here to blogger.com? hmmm
