Oh, those moveable island from Ikea ah? Those are good to ***! At least ur oven and rice cooker wun eat into the limited table top space. I like my table top to be free of stuff. Looks neater and have more space for baking/cooking. Wah, a big rice cooker arh? Will ur ILs stay with u? If it's just the 2 of u, then a big rice cooker not much of a use woh. Haha, think ur MIL must have the same thinking as my hb. That time wen we were buying rice cooker, my hb said should get a big one. Then cny or wen guests come, can easily cook enough for all. But I refused, and bought a avg size one. CNY is only once a year, get such a big one no use woh. What abt the rest of the year? Should get sth tat is enough for the rest of the year, and not for that 2 days during CNY. Haha, I long long time nvr update my tblog with my baking stuff le. It'll be great to share recipes! Speaking about baking, u muz maximize ur pantry space! I now have so many types of flour that I'm running out of space to put. Urg.... I always wonder why they call plain flour all-purpose flour, when it can't be used for everyting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reiki 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 Hi feimei, Pardon me for being kaypoh and just to highlight [hehe, in case you overlooked]. I notice the white grout used for the black floor tiles in your kitchen. Perhaps, it is a normal thing for a contractor to do. Perhaps, you requested for it. If that is the case, hehehe, I am really a kaypoh here. When I first noticed my initial finished floor tiles, the white grout was just 'too much'. Already, I had accepted the advise that kitchen floor tiles are best not to be laid too close [minimising between gaps]. In my case, I had the contractor to 'refill' the grout to black - which, to me, it was more greyish when it was done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
