Lunch today

When my father bought breakfast over for me this morning, he commented that he has not tasted my cooking for quite some time and wanted to come over for lunch. So asked parents, brother and SIL to come over for lunch. Think this is the 1st time that 6 of us are having lunch together at my place. oops...

A sinful Dinner

Yesterday, decided to try to fry some crispy chicken wings since I have some left overs from the other day. Agar agar mixed some rice flour with corn starch. verdict was crispy but not fragrant enough. maybe I should add in some 5 spices powder or I should marinate them longer.

1st housewarming

Invited colleagues and bosses for dinner last night. These are what I prepared for them. Sorry, the photos are not taken well as I took the photos after they started. Very typical chinese dishes. Not salad or cake. I like the NK gathering at Edith's place. A well mixture of both chinese and western dishes.

Curry Vegetables & Fried Bee Hoon


Hainanese Chicken Rice that I learnt from my maternal grandfather



Hakka Yong Tau Hoo that I learn from my paternal grandmother.



There are tau pok with the fillings, tau kwa with filling and mushrooms with fillings. This dish can be quite time consuming. Need to cook the soup base for a long time to get the sweetness. The fillings also have to be marinated before they can be filled in the tau pok, tau kwa and mushrooms. After that, still have to shallow fry them before adding them into the soup. Now, I missed the charcoal stove at my parents house. Think the soup tasted nicer with that type of heat.

Sweet & Sour Fish & Prawns



beside the sweet and sour fish is the chicken nuggets. Can you see?

Mee Goreng




This mee goreng was fried at last minute. After my colleagues, nothing much was left. So fried this for my brother and father. Luckily, still have noodles in my fridge leftover from morning. Fried mee goreng in the morning for him to bring to his office for lunch. So rare that I am on leave so can make something for him to have home cooked lunch.

Fruit cocktail jelly



This time, I used a different type of mix compared the previous the one made for V day. This mixture is softer but nicer. hehe... Made a total of 48 pieces and all are gone. Yipee....
