....for the ultimate truth....NOT!the thing is, i'm at the end of my tether...i really desperately need to find black bean paste to make jjajangmyun and i promised rachel and evie (and trying to surprise and impress meghna by my cooking brilliance) this friday...i already did enough research for a lifetime on 'how to make an authentic jjajangmyun' (not that jjajangmyun itself is authentic, it's originally a chinese black bean noodle dish; jjajang being salty black bean paste and myun meaning noodle)...that includes raiding countless blogs, recipe sites and videos and podcast...ah i'll stick to the name jjajangmyun rather than black bean noodle...to me 'jjajangmyun' sounds more yummy...blame this on korean dramas and movies...a bowl of jjajangmyun eaten by one of the characters can reliably drive rachel and i crazy with longing....that said, i have scoured tai ping asian supermarket's (free advertisement for tai ping, they should pay me) shelves 3 times comprehensively but still coming out with nada...i feel like shouting to the ceiling 'where's the damned black bean paste!!!!'...now i think i need to do another finding mission at lim chorr asian supermarket (another party that need to pay me)...if i still couldn't find it...i'll steal from one of my korean friends...i'll secretly sneak in their house when they're at class and steal their jjajang!!!!musing to self-'maybe i should start with jae's apartment...hers is closer to my place...next will be...'...
anyway, i have to think of something else to serve rachel this friday as an alternative...nasi lemak perhaps?something else???my brain is fried!can't think of anything!!!
