Trying out my own pancake recipe.

In progress....

Hmmm, its a little dry, isnt it..

2010-04-11T04:02:00.000-07:00

Something new out from my kitchen..

I am trying to make ribs that allow people to just hold the bone end and eat the meat out from the bone.

So i went ahead and try it since its a sunday...which is always my experimenting day haa

I really like the flavour of the ribs...but...somehow, i find that the part where you find more meat and less fats abit dry..

Mmmm...i gotta think of a way...meat is soft, its get off the bone very easily..flavour is nice..

i've gotta try again...guinea pigs ?! Fats, anyone ? haa

Long time no see !

2010-03-23T07:46:00.000-07:00

Friends request !

She wanted to get some cookies from me for restocking, but, i turned her down by saying i dont do any orders anymore due to work and busy lifetsyle.

She is a very supportive friend of mine who bought many cakes and stuff from me when i was testing the crowd with my bakes/food..so i told her, alright i'll bake you a bunch for free =)

Was soooo lazy to get it started, but, after i started to bake the cookies, i was in the mood again and i was thinking why were there only so little to bake, i could have done more, haa !

anyway...i havent been baking for sometime, i hope these cookies would still be able to satisfy her =)

i'll be back !

I think i might have to show a few pics before the blog starts going down down down...

Just sharing some pictures of the jinja turtle gang gathering on the 7th of november at goldkist resort.

We had a BBQ !

It was really fun and everyone had a great time.

1 ingredient chaged

2009-11-20T16:12:00.000-08:00

Haa nothing much to say about this meal..

It is the same as the one i had yesterday, i just substituted the yams for sweet potatoes.

Good morning, Saturday !

I always seem to have the same dish straight for a few days...haa !

Ran out of eggs !

2009-11-20T16:08:00.000-08:00

Ah, ran out of eggs this morning, so i had to use the can of tuna.

Spotted a half cut up yam on the table.

" hmm...okay i'll do this for breakfast today "

Sliced the yam up and steamed them.

Baked with tuna and mozarella cheese for a few mins.

Sprinkled with seasonings and started eating them with my cup of coffee =)

Good meal to start off my day with !

Breakfast with me ?

2009-11-18T02:01:00.000-08:00

Pancakes pancakes !

50 50 banana pancakes. 50 50 means i used 1:1 ratio of wholemeal to plain flour.

For the pancakes :

1/4 cup wholemeal flour

1/4 cup plain flour

1 banana

bit of vanilla extract

1 tablespn brown sugar

100 ml milk

50 ml of water

dash of salt

I didnt want to add any raising agent into the batter.

They turned out be quite moist in texture, not the fluffy type you would have at Mcdonalds.

And some scrambled eggs for my morning protein, 1 whole egg, 6 egg whites.

Sprinkled some salt and black pepper.

Lastly, my cup of coffee =)

I love such breakfast....

On a chilly night..

2009-11-18T01:56:00.000-08:00

Oh i can cook but i cant give a name for this.

The taste is more to the japanese side.

I used ingredients the japanese would normally use.

Spring onions, garlic, kelp, chicken, chilli, soy sauce, mirin, sake.

And brown rice.

I sprinkled some crushed red pepper over it to make it more spicy.

Erm, added sesame oil too.

Its a very simple home cooked meal.

Great to have it on a chilly night..

New item added !

2009-11-16T05:07:00.000-08:00

Hey hey ! Bought something new today, its called short cut angel hair ! HAA !

Just a quick meal to replenish myself.

2009-11-11T03:42:00.000-08:00

I guess i can handle instant oats fine =)

Carbs meal consists of 1 cup of instant oat meal mixed with 1 banana, 1/2 packet of blueberries, some brown sugar, 1 tablespn of peanut butter and some milk.

Very nice.

For the protein meal, 2 chicken breasts, 1 egg, 1 packet of asparagus, 1 brinjal, some black fungus and chicken stock i made yesterday. ( Stock was made with left over bones of a black pepper chicken bro had, added some celery, carrots, onions and garlic )

Look at those chocolate bars !

Those were my only birthday gifts from my little cousin, Terena.

Was supposed to meet my usual gang for dinner tonight, but, one of them is having his exams soon, so i decided to cancel the dinner, which we can have it on any other days.

He is studying to become a scholar, so we have to play our part and aid him on his journey ! HAA rubbish...

Anyway, these are what i had on my birthday =)

1. Snickers and MARS bar ( i put them into the fridge, not eating them today )

2. Sweet potato

3. Stir fry vegetables

4. Grilled teriyaki fish with black pepper

5. Unsweetened grass jelly with brown sugar

I'm still thinking if i should eat another 2 slices of corn bread...

Happy birthday toooooooooo me.... wooo ~

Sometimes, you will just succumb to temptations.

What i had for my sunday !

After booking out from my chalet. We went to Mcdonalds ! to have our breakfast, wow, when was the last time i had my mcdonalds !

I ordered hotcakes and a cup of coffee. very nice maple syrup !

Had some choclates once i got home. Snickers and kit kat.

Oh, i'm a happy bloated stomach man !

HAAA !

Is it supposed to be an early celebration ? heh

Brown rice bee hoon.

2009-11-03T03:44:00.001-08:00

Had to have a change today.

I prepared brown rice beehoon instead of my usual linguine or angel hair pasta.

Mmm...mixed the beehoon with 8-9 whole eggs/egg whites and 1 broccoli.

For seasoning, i used 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and abit of dark soy sauce, white pepper and some sesame oil.

Topped it with some chopped red chilli padi.

It was so difficult to eat with chopsticks haa !

i need these...

2009-10-31T00:11:00.001-07:00

No recipes needed for this meal.

Just popped by the supermarket to get my chicken fillets, bread and cereal.

2 slices of raisins multigrain bread with 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter with some sprinkle of brown sugar, 4 small boxes of mixed cereals with 1 banana and 1 cup of milk and lastly, my grilled chicken fillets..

Just what i would love to have on a saturday...

Fantastic lazy saturday meal !

2009-10-24T09:08:00.000-07:00

Not my usual meal.

I love my oats very much, unfortunately, i cannot have too much of them.

I excused myself today by having 1 cup of dry oats with 1/2 cup of milk mixed with 1 tub of strawberries, 1 banana, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter !

Wooooow...very nice meal..

And lastly, the protein, 1 can of tuna with 1 packet of asparagus with 2 eggs, black pepper, salt and olive oil.

Very very filling...

Dinner full of flour !

2009-10-21T04:38:00.000-07:00

Wooooooooo a change for my dinner !

Ransacked the fridge for ingredients and i found.....lettuce, tomatoes...oh wholemeal wraps..and of course chicken fillets..

Marinated the chicken with my own seasoning then grilled them for 15 mins.

Chopped the lettuce into thin slices ( not very thin lah ) and tomatoes as well..

Just topped the wrap with all the ingredients i have with a bit of horseradish and ketchup.

WRAPPED !

EAT !

Oh, before that was my all time favourite, peanut butter with banana sandwich.

Yumm !

She eats the sandwich without the peanut butter, let me have the peanut butter then =)

Haa back to the skinny noodles again..

Simple ? yes, nutritious !

2009-09-30T04:54:00.000-07:00

What a tiring day for me.

Used too much energy at work today so i had to replenish myself.

Had 1 green apple and sunflower seed bread with peanut butter and banana with a dash of ground cinnamon.

After that, i prepared my usual bowl of noodles again, this time, i used soft bone pork instead of my usual chicken breast. Tossed in some cabbage, too.

Cant wait for weekends to come....

I'm gonna eat you again !

2009-09-29T06:54:00.000-07:00

And MORE this time !

Added more noodles today, and minced the chicken instead of the normal fillets ive been eating..

Threw in 1 stalk of broccoli as well.

Oh, i seasoned the noodles this time, added vinegar, korean sauce, black sesame oil and some dark soy sauce..

Yes it was quite a huge bowl of noodles, i could have downed more =)

time for a change !

2009-09-29T06:48:00.000-07:00

This is my first meal for a sunday afternoon.

Pasta with tuna and red peppers, baked at 180 for 10 mins with some light mozerella cheese and another 1 min with 2 whole eggs.

Served with salt and some seasoning.

That cheese really made a difference =)

These arent boring...

2009-09-25T07:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, these for a non-training day.

1 fairly large sweet potato, steamed and chicken fillets with red pepper and seaoning !

Oops, stomached some cheerios, cocopops and muesli with milk...cant seem to stop this craving..

Hi again, big meal !

2009-09-22T05:31:00.000-07:00

Here comes another big meal !

100g of pasta with 300g of chicken fillets with broccoli stalks and green peppers !

Tossed with salt, black pepper and some dried basil tomato seasoning oh yes and olive oil !

Well, before that, 1 slice of healthy sunflower seed bread with peanut butter and jam and 1 apple !

See you next time !

The long awaitedddd...

2009-09-18T23:12:00.000-07:00

Yes, we finally bought a few varieties of bread yesterday.

Healthy sunflower bread ( 1st pic ) wholemeal pita bread and wholemeal raisin bun ( 4th pic ).

Sp, for my first meal today, i decided to start off with 2 slices of that healthy sunflower bread with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and some raspberry pomegranate jam, along with a tub of cottage cheese with passion fruit, some brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon powder. I also ate 1 wholemeal raisin bun after that.

*Thumbs up*

I'm a bread lover, but i try not to have too much of them too often, as they are considered processed stuff. On normal days, i'd be having my pasta, brown rice, sweet potatoes, yams or tapioca, breads are for ' better ' days. haa

hoho, still have some amount of calories to cover for the day....

Stuffed !

2009-09-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

Dinner for the day !

Wow, what a late dinner, i had it around 915pm.

300grams of steamed sweet potatoes and tapioca with some drizzle of gula melaka and coconut cream...wanted to have a 3 starch combination which includes yam, ended up with only 2 choices..

On the side, i had half roasted chicken with some steamed broccoli stalks and 1 teaspoon of ketchup.

Before those, i had a glass of strawberry milk, 1 cup yoghurt and 1 red apple..too hungry to tatke shots of those food i ate earlier on heh heh...

good meal....

Pretty much the same..

2009-09-15T03:49:00.000-07:00

Something similar to the previous entry i posted..

Today's meal was chicken breasts with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, topped with an egg and some basil tomato seasoning, black pepper and salt..

Before that, i had 2 slices of multi grain bread with peanut butter ( been eyeing this for a longgg time ) huge bowl of cocoapops with muesli and strawberry milk, 1 green apple, some raisins and 1 small cup of peach yoghurt !

Very satisfying, i'm a happppppy man !

I should post all pics of my food next time...*waits for the next meal*

I'll keep them coming !

2009-09-13T07:10:00.000-07:00

I made this salad for my mother.

What she had for dinner yesterday..Fried carrot cake with chilli and pan fried scallops...that wasnt dinner, that was junk..got a lecture from my brother and i.

I had this salad ( onions, broccoli, red pepper, avocado, grilled chicken breasts, cucumber, apples, tomatoes ) for dinner. After finishing mine, i thought, why not make one for my mother.

Eat more greens..

Hot and sour noodles...for...dinner...

2009-07-17T03:01:00.000-07:00

Made this for my dinner..wah finally something more ' complicated '. Been having too much simple food for the past few weeks, so, this should perk me up a little !

Lots of vinegar and chilli ~ mmmm....definitely making another bowl the next time..

Sluuuuuuuuurrpppppsssss...

2009-07-08T05:14:00.000-07:00

This is my dinner after a hard day of work.

No more brown rice, so , i went ahead with wholewheat spaghetti.

A very quick and simple meal, didnt want to cook up a storm Haa !

Yes, i added alot of vegetables and chicken fillets.

Last meal of the day...looking forward to my breakfast tomorrow...haa...is life just about looking forward to meals ?

GOOD MORNING !

2009-07-08T05:10:00.001-07:00

My breakfast for a sunny sunday morning !!

Brown rice with scrambled eggs with olive oil, salt and black pepper.

No more coffee for me....

It isnt filling at all !

2009-06-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

Got introduced to korean tang hun during a visit to my aunt's korean friend one day and i really like the texture of the noodles, its chewier and tougher than the chinese one we have..

Went to NTUC, korean section and bought a packet home to try it myself..

I didnt add meat into this dish as i'd most probably be having fish or chicken breast with the noodles. ( daily meals for work )

If you dont chew properly before you swallow the noodles, you might have chances of choking yourself, haaa maybe i didnt boil them for lone enough, anyway, i like the texture.

Monday, here we go

2009-05-17T16:51:00.000-07:00

Stir fried pasta shells with broccoli and diced chicken with own seasoning.

here comes the lunch boxes

2009-05-16T23:26:00.000-07:00

Meals for the day.

Stir fried pasta shells with asparagus and fish slices, sprinkled with chilli flakes.

Oh no, looks like these are too little to fill up my stomach.

Fiber fiber

2009-05-16T23:21:00.000-07:00

Quick desert to stop my sweet tooth craving.

Boiled gingko nuts, white fungus, red dates and pear with brown sugar.

Yes, it stopped my craving...only...for a while...

I really need a HUGE meal..

2009-05-07T04:40:00.000-07:00

This is what i ate for dinner tonight after a day of hard work..

I've been eating very big meals for my dinner for the past few days.

Just a quick peek at WHAT AM I EATING TONIGHT.

Prepared 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and fish with lots of vegetables..

hmmm good meal good meal, but these arent enough, i bet i'd go hungry after awhile..

Lets see..

When was the last time ?

2009-05-04T17:05:00.001-07:00

Oh when was the last time i logged on to post new pics.

Ages !

Just a quick one, some food i'd be bringing out for my lunch and dinner..

Times are bad ? haa no lah

From him for her...

2009-04-03T18:18:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine ordered this strawberry yoghurt cheesecake from me for his 1st anniversary with his girlfriend.

He requested me to put the 06.XX.XX to represent they would be together for a lifetime..

Ahh...I wish them all the best !

he was happy with the cake...=) thank you !

Lets do Salsa..

2009-03-24T20:57:00.000-07:00

Made Salsa today.

I've been going hungry late at night recently, so i thought it'd be nice to have some ready-to-eat veggies in the fridge when i need them..

*shakes shakes shakes* i can dance ~

Something new...

2009-03-23T04:28:00.000-07:00

A new flavour i made today.

Steamed chicken thigh pasta, i added those broccoli because i needed some vegetables for my meal, i dont plan to add them into this noodles..

The noodles tastes a bit creamy and a bit close to the hainanese chicken rice due to the jucies of the steamed chicken.

Mmm....nice noodles..

i'd be having steamed meat for a couple of days =)

My 1st try

2009-03-19T03:55:00.001-07:00

Hey hey !

A friend of mine asked, Weili can u bake a cake and make it into a car model ?

I said, okay..i'll try, but no guarantees =)

And THEN !

I produced this !

My friend's boyfriend's Daihatsu Charade..it is his 22nd birthday, by the way...

I'm really proud of myself and i think i did a pretty good job on my first attempt =)

Zrroooommmm zrrrooommm...

Its a long time..

2009-03-13T08:50:00.000-07:00

A friend's 4.5 years anniversary with her boyfriend, so she bought an opera cake from me and wanted it to be made into a heart shape like the one mingo ordered from me for Amy..

Design was up to me to create, so i thought of making it look like a clock that tells 04:50 yr(am/pm) which means 4.5 year anniversary.

But, i think my writing looks bad...or maybe this design isnt ideal...

well, i hope they would like it ! =)

What a long day...

First order !

2009-03-11T20:45:00.000-07:00

My first order from Aunty Doris.

She ordered 12 pieces of the chicken for the people working at my dad's place !

Time to deliver...

Helping out dad with some stuff today, so i made myself a lunch box..

Tomyam grilled chicken with seasoned cai xin and white rice..

Grilled an extra chicken for Aunty doris too.

Gotta go !

Aching legs...

Choya rambutan spongecake !

2009-03-04T04:34:00.001-08:00

This is my Choya rambutan spongecake..

Haa i couldnt find lychee so i tried rambutans..

Ahhh...i think i overbaked my sponge, its not soft enough, i want those very very soft sponge, like eating air !

Grrr....frustration...

Fantastic grilled chicken thigh...

2009-03-04T02:45:00.000-08:00

My after work out meal..

Chicken rice ( without fats, so its not as fragrant as the one u have outside ) baoiled cabbage, carrots, leftover kelp and pork...and lastly....my tomyam grilled chicken thigh !!

Wow, the chicken is really good..i thought of the marinate today and gave it a try...

Hmmm...not disappointing at all =)

good meal...crap, wish i could have more rice....^@$!#!$%

There you go again, friend..

2009-03-03T21:55:00.000-08:00

Uh huh !

Jason's lunch again..

Well, i cook lunch almost evreyday, so it wont hurt me to cook an extra portion for another person.

Ooops, he just called and said 太好吃了！！ haa !! he is someone who is easily pleased, i guess..

Anyway, i'm glad that he liked them, hmmm those spicy wings are not bad...

Minghui, you're next on the list, wait for your term break ! later ~

Spicy Wings !

2009-03-03T20:52:00.000-08:00

Made some deep fried spicy wings today !

Not a fan of deep fried food, but i still had to try it =)

Not bad not bad...

I think they make a good team !

2009-03-03T05:08:00.000-08:00

Okay, i need to make 3 different types of cakes.

So, i'm giving this a try first.

Expresso soaked chocolate sponge with nutella and candied orange peel buttercream.

I've tasted the cake..and i think its a not-bad-effort, orange n chocolate sure make a good couple =)

Maybe what i need to do is to make a few more layers...its too short in height, i find...

Construction in progress...

can this work ?

2009-03-02T21:41:00.000-08:00

Thought of this recipe last night so i decided to give it a try today..

Sliced pork and liver linguine.

Hmmm...it didnt turn out to be what i had in mind..flavours not strong enough..could it be the fire wasnt strong enough..or not enough seasoning..

Passed it to a friend to try...he said it was not bad..

I'll do it for mum tonight and see what she has to say..

Its a OUT for brother, he doesnt eat pork and liver HAA !

Hmmm not very satisfied...

For a friend

2009-02-26T22:35:00.001-08:00

Going to my friend's house, so i made him lunch.

This was my lunch, by the way haa.. just prepared his share.

off i go !

Oink

2009-02-25T20:31:00.000-08:00

Here is a pork chop i've done.

I already have 2 chicken dishes, so i need to increase my variety of meat, now, i'm trying pork after would be mutton.

Hmm...this pork chop seemed to be marinated enough, i can taste the flavour, i used brine n dry rub for this..i think i should add mroe flavours to it..or maybe this tastes fine ?

I wonder...lunch = plain rice + pork chop + brocooli in herbs and garlic oil..

For brother..

2009-02-23T17:08:00.000-08:00

There you go, brother..

I came back from the national library, feeling hungry, so asked if bro wants to eat out, i was gonna take away some nyonya food from a quite famous stall near my place..bro said okay, buy deep fried chicken wing for him separately..

When i got there, it read.." Close on Mondays..." -_-lll.....

Phoned bro to tell him stall is closed !

So i went home to cook porridge with cabbage and tofu..

Shortly, bro asked if there were anything he could eat when he gets home..i said noodles and pork chop or wings...

After reaching home and eating an orange..i prepared the Algio Olio for him and baked some marinated wings..baked 6 of them, 2 for mum he took 4..

" Wah Kor, why this noodles again ? "

" Haa bo bian, i didnt want to cook that, but i have no carbs for you, so i made you that..too last min lah.. "

Haa !

Another opera ?

2009-02-19T16:56:00.001-08:00

Joanne ordered this Opera cake for her friend's 28th birthday.

After collecting the cake from me at 1030pm, she called me shortly to say....

EH WHY THE WORDS ARE ALSO CHOCOLATE IN COLOUR !!!

HAA !

Anyway, i ope they'd like the cake...

Happy birthday Angela !

Wow this is nice...

2009-02-16T22:31:00.000-08:00

Great flavour for this Aglio Olio ? ( dont know how to spell or even pronounce it haa )

Its a bit spicy but not to the extreme, due to the chilli padis i used and u can also have a slight taste of the curry leaves...

I would say yes for this pasta, i shall let mum n bro try tonight.

As for the fish..hmm.. i still prefer to lightly season it with salt n black pepper, grilled it and squeeze some lemon juice over it... you dont need strong flavours/spices for fresh fish, i find, fresh fish goes extremely well with light flavours..*shurgs* maybe personal preference haa..

good meal =)

MINGO ! FOR YOU ONLY !

2009-02-13T06:59:00.000-08:00

Made this hazelnut opera for mingo !

He mentioned to me about having a cake that has the crunch when u eat it, with a hazelnut base that tastes like ferrere rocce ? ( dont know how to spell )

So, i thought he must be talking about such cakes lah..

I went ahead to try it for him, he wanted this for his girlfriend, amy's birthday cum valentines' day !

And BRAVO ! i did it !

I was pretty happy with the results and i successfully made it into a heart shaped cake !

They all loved the cake after celebrating amy's birthday at the strike of 12 am !!

I made a couple happy on valentines' day =)

2009-02-13T06:57:00.000-08:00

Just a quick shot of my meal...

2009-02-05T20:32:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, i need to go and get square sized papers, i cant cut them out myself, soooo inaccurate in the measurements..

2009-02-05T05:07:00.000-08:00

Haa ! My friend said, weili, finally something french !

Ah...i am pretty happy with the results, anyway..there is always room for improvement !

Yes yes yes !

Be my Valentine ?

2009-02-04T06:58:00.000-08:00

Ah...they are ready...

Butter cookies with coloured icing for Valentines day !

Finished product should look like this...i'm not really satisfied with the colour, though...

Should have used pink instead of peach, and i touched the icing before they dried up completely, ended up with some awful looking designs..

Anyway, final product isnt that bad, i find =)

There are for sale !~

Be my valentine...? yooooohoooo...heh heh

lunch lunch lunch !

2009-02-04T01:58:00.000-08:00

Oh no, i dont know what are these noodles called...rough beehoon ?

Haa ! Thats what i call it in chinese...

Anyway, i made this noodles with a thai style flavour and had it with my marinated chicken thigh for my lunch..

Gotta start doing the cookies decoration...

Hungry hungry..

Hmmm, no good...

2009-02-03T19:50:00.001-08:00

Japanese rice with seasoned vegetables ( japanese spinach, looks like cai xin ) and grilled chicken.

haa leftover again..

2009-02-02T03:18:00.000-08:00

ah leftover tomato pasta sauce..

Wah very hungey, so i quickly cook the angel hair, haa it took only 2 mins ! and its way better than MAGGI MEE !

Heated up the sauce and poured them over the noodles !

Oops, dinner gone within mins =)

Sometimes its good to have leftover in the fridge, they make a quick meal...heh heh

Japanese curry ?

2009-01-29T21:49:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-29T21:43:00.001-08:00

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 !

2009-01-27T06:16:00.001-08:00

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..

2009-01-25T18:00:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-21T20:38:00.000-08:00

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....

2009-01-20T23:21:00.000-08:00

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...

2009-01-20T06:58:00.000-08:00

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...

2009-01-20T06:53:00.000-08:00

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...

2009-01-19T18:21:00.000-08:00

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.....
