Finally managed to get down to making sushi with my buddies. The process is rather fun and exciting. The challenge comes when we started rolling the sheets of seaweed with our favourite ingredients; you would need some strength to press the sheet and the rice tightly together so that you can cut the sushi more [...]

Dinner at Home.
Posted in Home and Family on Apr 13th, 2009
I guess it’s getting more and more challenging to cook nice meals for two. Either the portion is too great or the portion is too little. What’s worst is, I only whipped up meals on Sundays and the ingredients cannot be kept for too long.
The dinner last night caused both of us to burst at [...]

My cooking spirit is back again after sometime. This was my first weekend at home after having busy weekends outside for the past few weeks. Hubbie wanted to try our own Bah Kut Teh, so we bought the spices and also some pork bones from the nearest miserable market.
The soup ended up more spicier than [...]

Another “new” creation of mine. Rather than just frying pure eggs alone, this time round, i decided to fry it with chopped long beans.
The result is good for the newbie me. Nice?

Ingredients I used:
Carrots, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Bones from pig, Minced pork
When you think about it, it’s just a simple soup. Initially, i thought of just putting in potatoes, carrots and tomatoes into water and set it to boil. Unfortunately this is not the case. The soup will taste bland when it’s cooked. My mum-in-law suggested making [...]

We went to the market this afternoon to buy ingredients for the weekend. Somehow, due to my horrible misjudgment, I bought an over-sized cabbage for the week. Instead of buying a size for two meals, I’ve bought a size for 4 or even more meals. Looks like we’ve got to have cabbage for every single [...]

These are some of the dishes I’ve cooked for the past week, before the Chinese New Year. When i reflect upon it, I realized it’s quite a headache thinking about what to cook for two pax.

This year, we had our reunion dinner with my parents early. I think it’s a terrific idea because we can then have the new year’s eve evening free for some last minute cleaning and errands. We also planned for a reunion lunch at the in-laws on the eve of the CNY.
As per past years, we [...]
