Japanese curry ?

Japanese curry ? Close but not there yet..

I didnt have the necessary ingredients needed for the curry but i just went ahead to do it..

Didnt have meat in my fridge either, so i had some sardines for my protein..and yes, i needed vegetables in my meal, so i made some seasoned cai xin to go along with it...

Filiing ? yes... satisfying ? Not really....

HAA !!

Father's simple lunch

My father is a old fashion hokkien man, so he prefers eating those simple dishes like porridge with canned olive vegetables, canned fish, pan fried bean curd, minced pork, braised cabbage...aiya those very old fashion types of dishes lah...he is not into those new recipes that young people are enjoying now, he doesnt know how to appreciate them...

He'd say..哎呀。。煮到这样怎么吃。。随便煮不是好咯。。

Haaa yes thats my dad..

Mum started work already, so i had to prepare lunch for him, i made 2 simple dishes, pan fried onion and spring onions with eggs and pen fried beancurd...Dad has them with his bowl of porridge and some canned preserved vegetables...

As simple as the dishes may be, they actually make an excellent meal, simplicity is the best, i guess...

Happy new year !

We wish you a happy new year, we wish you a happy new year...we wish you a happy new year and a happy new year ~~


HAA !!

Up up and away..

A tier cake i made for my friend who ordered this for a friend's birthday, 21st ? i think so !

HAA !!!

It is not very nicely done...as there are still some tiny gaps in between the icing...

Happy birthday =)

Fish head bee hoon

There is a stall selling Sliced fish beehoon in a kopitiam near my house.

The queue is always very long...everyday ! I think thats the only stall that has the most people patronizing it. why ? probably its good, thats why..

My bro went to tried it before when he saw the long queue..he must have wonder..'wah why so many people queuing for the noodles, must try..'

He finds it nice and said i should try it someday..

My usual gang and i gathered at the kopitiam that day to have our dinner, my brother n paul ordered that sliced fish bee hoon, i drank some of the soup..

I then told bro, ' Okay, not bad..i'll let you try mine ! '

I gathered the necessary ingredients for making the stock this morning and prepared fish head bee hooon..

It was my lunch =)

Now, i 'll have to wait for mum n bro to come home for dinner...


time to serve.....

At last..a decent meal....

Ahh...finally i got to sit down to have a decent lunch..been so busy for the past few days with my orders..hardly had anytime to eat a DECENT meal, decent to me is a good proportion of carbs, fats and protein..

Lucky me, i managed to complete the orders for the day by noon, so i was blessed with the luxury of cooking a decent meal...1/2 roasted garlic butter chicken with my new recipe, the asian flavoured angel hair pasta...

My friends came over and finished most of the pasta, leaving me with nothing !

Haa didnt matter, though, i'm glad they liked my cooking..

Yes, had the time to enjoy my meal...due to my impressive eating speed ( HAA ! )

I finished the noodles n some pieces of chicken within 10 mins...

Shall leave some for bro n mum to try...the chicken would go well with lemon juice or maybe some citrus sauce...i shall start cracking my brain soon...

A dark chocolate rum cake i made today to try...

Hmmm i was expecting a denser cake but it turned out to be quite dry...

Sweetness was fine...taste was okay, alcohol abit strong ? or maybe just fine...

Ahh...too many flaws for this cake...i need to do something to it...

Got a few friends to try this....

well, i dont think it turned out well....better luck next time...

wow this is nice...

A new flavour i made using kelp, red chillis, angel hair and seasoning..

This pasta is best eaten cold or in room temperature..

The taste of this is more to the asian side...friends came over to try this, everyone liked it !

HAA ! good

With great power comes great responsibility...

They arrived !!!

Haa yes, Aunty Doris bought this set of henckel ( dont know how to spell ) knives for me.

Ho ho ho, i'm delighted, i finally have my own knives...what shall be the debut cut...i thinks its gonna be japanese seaweed, kelp.. HAA !!

Thanks a million, Aunty Doris !

The sharper your knife, the less you cry.....

Special request

A friend of mine asked for a special request..

Eh November, can u make alphabetic cookies ? like S H A N N O N ?

I said, okay ! why not !

She passed me an empty glass bottle to fill it up with cookies..

I made them, frosted them with icing...decorated with a red paper cloth she requested...

And, i added in a small card i amde myself, haa unfortunately, my friend found it too kiddy and removed it..

TRY THIS ~

YAY ! Its out !

I tried this recipe yesterday and had to deep fried the chicken today to see how the taste would be.

*thumbs up*

Wooohoo ! Another dish i could present to my friends !

Deep fried food lovers, come and try, you guys know who you are *wink*


Haaa !! i'm overjoyed with the results !

Allow me to serve you..

Phillip came over for dinner today, mingo couldnt make it, he was at Jurong and had to do some stuff, what a waste...

Oh yes, bro just came back from his field camp training...just in time for dinner !

I prepared 2 types of cold pasta, one with tomato sauce base, the other with garlic oil..

And my new recipe for the chicken, Smoked bbq !

I also made onion soup to go with the meal..

Dinner was great, i would say, the company, the talk and the food =)

eh wong, you tried the food, so you must comment HAA !!

New stuff !

Ahem, i tried a new marinate today for my chicken, Smoked BBQ marinate.

WOW ! excellent results !

i'm very happy after tasting it..of course there are still some flavours that i need to adjust, like its a little too salty, sweetness should be fine, i guess and the smoky smell fits just fine =)

MUM ! new dish to try tonight, bro cant try it, he is still in the fields...will get friends to try too, i've already bottled the marinate up !

Oh, this cold pasta is lovely too...i love garlic oil...

Chopped too much garlic today, fingers got a burning sensation and i stopped, i'm wise ! haa !!

How hokkien...

Felt like eating porridge for dinner tonight, so i prepared the HOKKIEN DISHES !

Haa just look at those metal plates and you know how traditional this is.

I think people from the older generation would use such plates, i'm sure there're still a handful of us using them =)

I like them very much, i could even use them to bake pies, how convenient..

Very simple dishes to fill up our stomachs..

1. Steamed minced pork with peas and olive vegetables.

2. Braised vegetables with dried shrimps and garlic.

Lastly....my bowl of hot porridge...

Satisfaction......

Yes a new ' TOY '

Hooray !

Finally got mum to buy me a big deep fryer !

Went to Jalan Basar with my mum and bro to get this deep fryer on a Saturday.

This deep fryer is also for commercial usage, as you can see, its really quite big in size and can hold up to 10 litres of oil. I personally feel that this is quite some amount of oil haa !

Alright, now with this new toy, i'm sure i could do more to deep fried food..hmm...but who is going to eat those deep fried, oily and fattening food...i'll get bro and mum HAA !"!"

lets all get fat together... wwooooooooo...

Prepare some pasta for our lunch today.

Peas, Bacon strips and prawns for this pasta.

Yummy !

I ate only an average serving potion..and served one plate to brother who just got home not long ago..

we liked the pasta...off we go to Junction8..

LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THIS !!

WOW !

Edible baby carrots for Chef dodo's creator !

Aunty Doris asked me if i could make some baby carrots for her youngest child, Terena.

She wants them for her carrot cake she is bringing to school.

No problem, i said and got them done within 20 mins.

Left them on the table to dry until Aunty Doris came and collect at night.

Ahem...Terena...i made them for you..must say thank you to me !!!! HAA !!

有成功吗？

Hmm...okay ive been trying to make a crispy deep fried batter and i tried it today again.

*mix mix mix the batter*

Dip chicken fillets...coat with batter..into the OIL !

CHAAAAAAAAAAA...( Its deep frying )

I put them on a piece of paper towel to absorb the excess oil...then mum came home just in time..i got her to try...when she put the chicken into her mouth and took a bite..i heard...CRRRKKKKISSHHH...

YES !!~! it is crispy ! okay i have done it !

I took a bite, CRRRKKIISSHHH.. yes ! HAA okay something seemed to be missing in the taste of the crispy batter...hmm i shall go and figure it out..

*wipes away sweat*

Simplicity filled me up

Hmm still cant really walk too much, so i made this simple meal for myself on a wednesday afternoon.

Mashed pumpkins with a dash of ground cinnamon, blanched vegetables with garlic oil and soy sauce and some pan fried chicken fillets with thai chilli sauce..

Not very filling, but good enough...

Lets see whats for dinner tonight...
