Steam meat

这是我们家沈老爷，爱吃的菜。。。
每次，当我问他。。有没有想吃的。。。
他就会说。。。 冬菜肉。。。
哈哈哈。。。 可是。。 我就是听了就算了。。因为我不喜欢洗那个用来蒸肉的盘子。。
肉渣总是粘在盘子上。。 真讨厌。

今天沈夫人的心情好。。。也想到如何不让肉渣留在盘子上。。
真开心。。盘子真的很干净

沈老爷没看见我在蒸这道菜。。一直问我还在煮汤吗？

当他看见这道菜时。。。 脸上是笑着的。。。

鸳鸯粉丝

Been a super long time since i cooked this 鸳鸯粉丝
The 1st time i tried it is in 2009 after watching buzzing cashier show... the chef from grand hyatt taught this dish to a guy who wanted to save his business but he failed to do so.. he failed the given requirement from the show... so means.. cannot get to eat it... and i wanted to try it so badly.. so tried my own version using some of his idea.... and its really nice... this is my 3rd trial on this dish... *smile*

fish

This fish had been in the freezer for sometime.. so to get rid of the really fishy smell
i added in lots of garlic, ginger and some wine to get rid of the smell
still tasted alrite :)

Stir fried cabbage

This cabbage dish is taught by Mr. Sim. He said they used to eat this during work. So tried to do something similar.

Bread

This is the 3rd time this year that i tried making bread... 1st time was alight but Mr. sim said its not fluffy enough 2nd time was a disaster cause its totally not the kind we are expecting though its look good and tasted alrite...

Woke up early today and decided to try my luck again since the weather is really good today .. meaning my proofing time and factor might have some luck..

Doesn't want to make too much since its only the 2 of us AND if failed again... we don't have to waste the bread and meaning i don't have to knead till i want to surrender...

GF asked me to invest in good breadflour like japanese bread flour BUT i doesn't want to pay more then $10 on a pack of flour when i can't even get the texture right... *meow* *meow* haha what is the point when i can't even master the right texture... waste of $$$ if i have to feed it to the rubbish bin, isn't it...

Finally after waiting and waiting... its time to bake it....i managed to have 6 pieces of 43g each...

topped with ham & cheese.. i rolled a piece of ham in between it as well.... look kind of small BUT it puff up in the oven... i should have make it smaller.. like mini ones...hehe.. the original HUGE bread... -_-" Out from the oven... i had a shock!!!!! its as hard as stone... heart sank to the bottom.. meaning i failed again????? sigh try my luck to let it cool down before i sentence it to death...

Finishing my work.. i went to touch it again... WOW its softer.. meaning it got some HOPE!

2 for ME.... 4 for Mr. sim to bring to work... *smile*

Its more fluffy den the 1st, 2nd time

Its more Q-Q and will boounced back
it look more presentable now

Mmmmmmm but i know alots more to improve

Hopefully this can satisfied 我们家的沈老爷。。。。

update: 1st day, its really soft and fluffy... 2nd day, it doesn't remain that soft though i kept it in air tight box. Mmmm could it really be the flour issue? will try again

RicePot Rice

RicePot Rice... mmm sound weird? Well yeap cause its cooked using RICEpot(cooker)... I didn't tell Mr Sim what i used beforehand and asked him HOW does it tasted? Does he like it? He went
WOW this time is NICE... *smile*
worth all the effort... though its really simple but @ the least he like it... tat is most important :)
hahaha share with u, the secret i used...

All u need:

1 pack of Prima chicken Rice mix

1 lup cheong - sliced

3 chicken wings - marinated

2 cup of rice

1tsp dark sauce

I perfer to slightly pan fried the lup cheong abit to get the oil out... more fragant :) you can opt not to do so. I pan-fried the wings alil using the oil from the lup cheong. Not fully cooked. like 70% done. I perfer to do so, rather to just throw it all into the ricepot in case its not totally cooked. When the rice is almost done, put in the chicken and cooked it... DONE :) Lastly add in the lup cheongWho said using rice cooker, you can't get the cripsy 锅巴

To get this, just press "cook" one more time.. you be able to get this

DINNER TIME Cannot decided it i want to remain it plain or add dark sauce to it... so i did both

Whether to add in dark sauce or not since its already very tasty on its own coz of the premix i used :)

served with chilli :)

Homemade Chilli Paste

The last time i made this Chilli Paste is April... and my supply of it is almost gonez...

Food blogger who demands free meal sparks outrage online

Was surfing online then saw this news in YAHOO

WOW.. really wordless after reading the whole article... being a food blogger means you can just make an appt/walk into a rest to eat happily.. bring people along when you wasn't invited to there to do any review or food tasting...

really bring bad names to those who really enjoy foods and sharing their reviews...

A young food blogger who demanded that he and his three companions be given free meals at an upscale restaurant in the Joo Chiat area has sparked a huge furore online.

The group of four had walked into Private Affairs, a small but exclusive eatery in Joo Chiat, for its Sunday champagne brunch promotion that costs S$68++ per person.

The blogger in question, Brad Lau, who runs a food blog called Ladyironchef, had informed the management on Friday that he would be coming down to review the Sunday Brunch promotion.

On the day itself, he and his partner came down at about 130pm, followed by his two other companions, each of whom came down half an hour apart.

The four of them had brunch until 430pm, even when the restaurant’s official brunch hours was from 1130 am to 330pm. Brad and his partner also enjoyed two glasses of champagne each.

When presented with the final bill of $435, the blogger initially refused to pay and repeatedly told the restaurant’s chef, “I never pay for food in any restaurant.”

The restaurant eventually offered to waive off the cost of the meal for him and his partner as well as the cost of the champagne out of goodwill, thus lowering the bill to $159.

Still upset but finally relenting to pay, the blogger then threw his credit card onto the bar counter in front of the cashier before storming out.

hahaha Mr sim always said me... 又吃霸王餐

that someone then is... 霸王 who NEVER had to pay...

Baked Pasta

Bought this pasta sauce seeing it in the supermarket. Sound very nice especially with the mushroom in it...
Abit disappointed. There isn't a single bit of mushroom in it and the taste is overpower. I know this isn't the kind Mr. sim will like. So had to tink of something... as its isn't the usual taste for pasta white sauce. BUT if you serious love mushroom, maybe you will like it.

SO i decided to....

Turned it into baked style instead of just serving it to Mr. sim for dinner.


Verdict: mmm it definately tasted much better with cheese added in to bake with.

Homemade chilli sauce

Its time to top up our chilli supply. Hehe seeing it made me HAPPY!
We just love chilli so much, almost every meal must have some of it.

Swiss Roll

Was craving for some cake but too lazy to get out of the house since it was pouring heavily and its closed to dinner time... so decided to make my own. -_-" out of shape and the skin was gone .. all due to my fault.. i didn't wait till it was cooled and i took too long to roll it. -_-" but still it tasted quite good though it look super ugly.
