11th hour

Fried carrot cake, coffee

Earlier this week, i was telling a friend that i have 2 deadlines but just couldn’t get into the mood to work on them (i already have the idea but need to do the execution). She asked how do i usually get into the mood. And i replied: At the 11th hour, maybe?

Well, today is the ‘11th hour’... got to go!

tiny

Rice dumpling, coffee

My mum made this tiny dumpling for my niece, but i ate it anyway... shhhh

breakfast for tea

French toast, coffee

edible seeds

Chinese steamed cake, unknown edible seeds, coffee

i bought these seeds from one of the roadside stalls while travelling in Mongolia. The locals eat them as snacks, munching away as they chat with friends, while waiting for public transport, before dinner is served etc. The shells cracked open easily with a bite, the inside meat is pale yellow wrapped in a thin layer of brown skin and has a slight tint of sweet and raw taste. Quite interesting to eat.

Update: These are actually pine nuts. Thanks Mabel!

Chicken sandwich, coffee

Awesome trip and concert, all in the month of June, i’m missing it already :(
