Final Baking for CNY

With CNY just 3 days away, I finally finished baking the last batch of cookies. Love the cashew nut cookies and decided to bake more of these. Quite satisfied with what I had achieved this year. Managed to bake 4 different types of cookies. The only regret is no pineapple tarts. :(

Mee Goreng for breakfast

I have a packet of Prima paste which I bought during sale at Carrefour. But I do not have fresh noodles in my fridge. So I used instant noodles instead.

Claypot Rice for lunch

Surprisingly, I had claypot rice for dinner again. Went to Clementi Blk 328 for dinner with the volunteers.

Dinner

Hokkien Mee for Hubby

1st feast after our wedding.

The TOTM at NK is eggs so I thought of making these eggs dishes today with other dishes as well.
Its my first attempt in making these eggs dishes. Verdict fm hb are as follow:

Potatoes Eggs

Verdict: Potatoes a bit too bland and not firm enough. There were some whereby the eggs are separated from the potatoes.

Before frying

After frying and the cutting

Egg Roll with fish paste

Verdict: Nice but should have added some cut chilli or spring onion in the fish paste so that they will look more colourful. Maybe I should get some seaweed also. Maybe, can shallow fry them after steaming and cutting.

Before steaming and after cutting

Sambal Quail Eggs

Verdict: Too much onions and not spicy enough.

Sliced Fish Soup

Sambal Kangkong with hae bee

Soya sauce chicken with shredded ginger. Forgot to take this earlier. By the time I took this pic, already more than half are gone. :P

Dinner

I have not been cooking for a long time as was busy preparing for wedding. Finally, I have time to come home after work to make dinner. Here they go.... Sweet & Sour Fish AND China chye sim. But I think the chye sim are too old liao so a bit tough. Not much ingredients left in the fridge so no other ingredients (pinapple, cucumber, capsicum) to fry the sweet & sour fish. But they turned out nice too... I am amazed that we can finished all.. haha..

Peanut Cookies

Yeah... My 1st batch of CNY cookies is out. Supposed to bake for my buddies. But last min, we cant meet each other tomorrow. End up in my office lor. heehee..
