Hweecat April snippets

Hweecat meow.

First and foremost, apologies for the blog hiatus as I have been busy for the past month. For those who follow us on Facebook and Instagram, you guys would more or less know what we have been up to. (;

1. We spent the first 7 days of April in Taipei. Food was generally awesome, we would have eaten more if not for me falling ill on the 5th day. More about that next time!

Okay, let's start with a photo of Ximending:


The scoops are so big like baseballs that I wonder how they managed to balance on the waffle cone. And this double-scoop costs less than S$2!


These are super-fresh seafood. No joke. Our heads were spinning after sucking the prawn's head.


For Cat and Hweecat, this is one of the must-go places in Taipei. After eating Din Tai Fung quite a few times in Singapore, it's a must to eat the real deal in Taipei right?


That's all for now. More pictures and commentaries when I have the time!

2. We went to WOLF once again for Restaurant Week in March 2015. Sadly when we came back from Taipei, we found out that it's closed. ): We'll miss those mind-blowing pork chops and crispy pig ears. Then again, its former head chef is now cooking at Meatsmith (which is also in Telok Ayer) so we might pop by there to try the food. (:

3. Since February, I have been working on a MOOC (massive open online course) on Coursera called "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking", which is conducted by Stanford University. I have always been interested in Maths, and I'm glad to say that I have successfully completed the Extended Course last Saturday. Much credits go to my unofficial study buddy Cat, who happily discusses some of the maths and logic concepts with me over cups of Ice Teh-O. If you are interested in pursuing a degree in Maths and / or would like to improve your mathematical and logical thinking in general, I would highly recommend this MOOC.

Any good food finds this month? Let's just say, our stomachs were too pampered in Taiwan that we need time to re-adapt to food in Singapore. For the time being, I'm sticking to old favourites such as Real Food. :P
