Tropika delivery

Evening shift work dinner order YUMMMM!!

This was from Tropika Malaysia Cuisine via Uber Eats. My 2 friends & I each got our own Singapore laksa, & shared everything else.

Top left: Chili crispy chicken wings - these weren't fried, so I'm assuming baked. The wings were kind of dry, but I didn't mind it too much. They were spicy, like 6.5/10. My 1st piece was very shocking lol it wasn't that it was VERY spicy, but the chili powder was concentrated bcos I took a piece from the top, so my bite was basically loaded with chili powder.

Top right: Sambal bunchies - this turned out to be fav dish aside from the laksa entree haha the beans were crunchy, the sauce was good, came with baby shrimps & a bit of tomato.

Bottom left: Skewers - sorry, I don't have pic of them out of the foil wrap. I had 1 chicken satay skewer & 1 bef satay skewer. I usually prefer the latter bcos I like beef but I liked the chicken one more. It was probably my fault bcos I saved the beef skewer for 2nd break so I microwaved it, & may have over-heated it so it became dry & chewy.

Bottom right: Roti canai - this was okay. .. I have no complaints about the roti; it was soft & slightly chewy. The texture was good & tasted slightly sweet. I didn't like the Malay curry sauce that much & didn't mind eating the roti as is but for some pieces, I used the satay sauce as dipping sauce instead.

& our laksa!

The packaging was great. I wished all restaurants did this with their noodle soups. The bottom of the bowl contained the broth & toppings, while the top half bowl contained the noodles & whatever else where sogginess would not be preferred. The laksa had the fried tofu & shrimps on the bottom along with the broth, & the vermicelli & bean sprouts were in the top compartment. Then you 'flip over' the top bowl so the contents enter the broth. So convenient!!

Laksa = 100%! LOVED IT!

PS: I am currently on another vacation but it is not s staycation this time :P will report back when I return! Bye bye!

"I am going to get a good grade in ___________, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve" drifts through my brain with positively alarming regularity.

The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

That's how the saying goes. You never realized just how true it was until you started working as Captain John Price's assistant. It had started off innocently enough, bringing him a tea or coffee when he asked. Maybe scolding him whenever you found out he skipped lunch.

You had been baking brownies, trying out a new recipe, and you just needed someone to taste them (and maybe help you get rid of the batch if need be). So, you brought them to work, left them in a pretty box on Price's desk when you dropped off his coffee.

You certainly hadn't expected the rest of the task force to come around to your desk, begging to know why you didn't bring any for them. Turn out that not only did Price brag out your baking skills, he's refusing to share with the rest of the task force, despite the fact you had brought more than enough for all of them.

Looks like you're going to have to make more.

"All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead, I made a bed with apathy

My heart knew the weight

Ten years worth of dust and neglect

We made our peace with weariness and let it be..."

Gluten-free tandoori chicken wrap from Remedy~

This was a work dinner on a particular evening shift. I don't need GF diet but was recommended by one who is on GF diet to get this. Apparently everyone who has tried both the GF & regular tandoori chicken wrap said the GF one tasted better.

I have nothing to compare to but I can say it was tasty! This was 1 order of the wrap; however, as you can see, they conveniently have the 1 order in 2 separate pieces instead of cutting a large one in half. I thought this was very considerate of them! I also didn't think it would be so filling! I'm sorry I didn't get a cross section of it - it was just very messy bc it also came with a sweet dipping sauce, so my hands were sticky. The filling inside the wraps was PACKED! & I mean PACKED.

Conclusion: I would order again. But maybe I should get the regular one next time to compare.

*note1: it was slightly spicy, like a 3.5/10.

*note2: has strong/abundance of fennel seeds. If you're not a fan of this flavour, do not get.

Cozytober: Wrapped in a soft fuzzy blanket

Dan isn't sure what he's doing here.

He sits, squished into the smallest pink chair imaginable, holding a tea cup barely the size of his pinky and wonders—not for the first time—why him.

He's reformed! He has his family back (with bonus new ones, in Ellie and Danny himself), and is trying his damnedest to be the best of both his donor's parts! He rescues kittens now!

So why?

"More tea, Mr. Dante?" A squeaky, pleasant voice asks politely.

Internally, Dan sighs. He knows why.

"Sure." Dan rumbles, low, so as to keep from intimidating her. It's a moot point, considering you were immediately invited to this tea part upon first glance.

"Lovely!" The girl, Lian, beams brightly at him, causing him to squint at how bright she looks. She reaches over with her purple teapot, decorated with superhero stickers all over it, and mimics pouring tea into his Red Hood themed tea cup.

Dan didn't even know Red Hood had merch, much less a children's tea set.

She watches him expectantly, so he takes a sip.

"Mm." He smiles, tightlipped to keep his fangs away, "Tasty."

Again, that blinding beam. Dan wonders, distantly, if the reason he can still see is because of his healing factor.

"Lian! Lian, honey, it's time to—" A voice echoes, causing Dan to stiffen.

A man enters through the open doorway, pausing at the scene they must make.

"Hi Daddy!" Lian chirps, "Mr. Dante stopped some bad guys from hurting Mrs. Stoner, and he said he knew the Justice League, so I invited him to my Tea Party to thank him!"

"Is that so?" Her father, with a frozen smile, turns slowly to Dan and quirks a single burnt orange eyebrow. Thankfully, he doesn't seem mad at Dan's presence, more surprised and…amused, judging by the taste in the air. His quirked lips seem to ask him why Dan didn't refuse.

"I've been told," Dan says as softly as he can, "that it would be uncouth for a…gentlemen to refuse a lady's request."

The part of Dan that's Vlad, the part of Dan that Ellie and Jazz influenced, had reminded him.

The part of him that's still Danny, that's still a sucker for little children and his sisters, had taken control and his acceptance had been given before he even knew it.

This is why he is here. Because he is, in Ellie's words, a god damn marshmallow softie.

"Fair enough." Lian's father chuckles with a tilt to his head, "Hard to say no to Lian anyway."

Lian's grin turns a little sharp, the way Ellie's does, knowing and mischievous.

"I've also been told that it's rude to overstay my welcome." Dan places the tea cup down gently, still trying to figure out how to be soft, and contemplates the logistics of getting up.

"But Mr. Dante, you haven't even finished your scones!" The scones in question sit innocently, masquerading as pumpkin spice flavored Oreos. Dan chuckles, and delicately pinches one to toss into his mouth. He gives up on unfolding his limbs around the tiny furniture and simply goes intangible, floating up to stand.

"Lian, I'm sure Mr. Dante's got other stuff to do sweetheart. Besides, it's dinner time for you."

Lian pouts, but seems to acquiesce with a pout before smiling up at him again. "Thank you for coming to my Tea Party Mr. Dante!"

"Thank you for having me, Little Miss." Dan rumbles, floating up and ready to leave.

"Wait!" Lian jumps up, running towards her closet and dragging out a searingly bright orange cloth. Its got little arrows all over it, and is three times her size. She holds it up to him, reaching on her tippy toes, so Dan touches back down and crouches.

"You need a cape, since you're a hero!" Lian explains, "Some heroes don't wear capes, but I think a proper gentleman like you should have a cape!"

She does her best, jumping around and fumbling over him to drape the blanket over his shoulders. Her father, from the corner of Dan's eye, is trying not to bust up laughing. She tries once, twice, three times to tie it around his neck, and he takes pity on her and ties it on himself. He feels ridiculous.

It's less of a cape and more of a bundling. He's half wrapped up and if he didn't have the ability to fly and go intangible, he's sure he would have been tumbling around and stuck.

Thankfully, he does have those abilities, so he floats up to get that all sorted.

"Just like Superman." The Father chuckles, barely able to string it together through his laughed. Dan smiles a wry smile, doing a Superman Pose just to see Lian light up and giggle.

"See ya later, alligator!" Lian chirps, waving goodbye.

And then the part of him that's still Danny rears up again, without his permission, as he floats through the ceiling.

"In a while, crocodile."
