Grilled beef steak and potato salad with garlic spinach

After going through lent and 50 days of no rice diet, my youngest son have gotten used to it. So today it's potato salad to replace his rice for carbo and a big chunk of medium done grilled beef. For me, I decided to go just play old spinach

Claypot rice and YONG tau foo

A simple dinner of clay pot rice and homemade Yong tau foo soup. Kids say the claypot rice is better than any they have tasted :) I added a generous amount of boneless chicken, Chinese sausages, shiitake mushrooms and salted fish. But cut down on the ginger to suit their palate.

Chicken chop with mushroom sauce

Ran out of button mushrooms so substituted with straw mushrooms instead and it worked out better actually.

Roast pork shoulder with mash and stringed beans

When your son is on a 50 day no rice diet AND meat is what he craves for...




New cake mixer and Sugee cake

My favourite cake is sugee cake. So when the new cake mixer came along..no prize for guessing which cake I baked first with it.


My first home made bread

Another pre Gst purchase..a Breville Bread maker which had the whole house smelling like a bakery. No wonder they call it the Baker's Oven. This successful attempt at my first home made bread made me wonder why I didn't get one in the first place. Hmmm perhaps the first generation bread maker wasn't as "canggih" and had put me off buying because it wasn't as easy peasy as this one. And I never pursued the idea after that. Anyway..here's a very basic bread with raisins. Kids loved it eaten with jam and cheese. The bread is almost finished in one sitting. 







Steamboat prepared with the aid of new food processor

In view of post gst price increases, I had purchased a few electrical appliance and this food processor came as a free gift. Last night's steamboat preparation was made so much easier with cutting and slicing done quite a bit by this kitchen aid. To think of the amount of time wasted before..I  would certainly recommend it.
