My Cooking Feast

11:25:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hoho, went to a fren's house for a " Cooking & Eating" session... Haiz, when gals grow older, they can only stay at home to cook & eat.... SOBZ... But nvm, the food was great, so I'm happy to grow up... Hehe.. crappy.. Let's see wat we got here bah!


Feast of Yummies - Enuff to feed the whole zoo!
  
Did I hear you saying it was not that fantastic after all?? Humpt, dun drool ar.. I shall show you the big big pictures... see you scare or not! =p


Salad => Lettuce, Nihon Cucumber, Tomato, Boiled & Peeled Capsicum, "Crouton"

Nicely arranged by ME!ME!ME! But then, washed & prepared by my fren... hahaha. Noted that my fren had also attempted to make cha da "crouton" by frying the skin of the bread. Nice try, it was edible and I am still blogging now... ^_^


Chicken => Marinated with chilli ( YUCKS!) & honey the night before

Chicken => Fried to perfection!!!
Surprisingly, the chicken was not spicy after all! Hard to image hor, seeing all those chilli covering the chicken... 


Pasta Sauce with Sausages

Pasta Spices

Cooked with peeled tomato, sausages, spices ( as above), chopped garlic with slow heat for almost 6 hours. Such that the tomato would soften and dissolve, and till the sauce thickened. Long painful process indeed... Heng ar, I was not the one waking up at 6am to prepare all these... hahahahahaha.....


Fresh Basil Plant?

Aiya, couldnt find the packed basil leaves, so buy the plant lah!Anyway, the leaves were meant to be added onto pasta when served. Seemed weird to pluck the leaves straight from the pot to eat.... I felt like a caterpilla... And hor, I only realised that I dint wash the leaves and just ate like that... -_-~~~~ Dunno got pesticide mah... -_-~~~~~ (again)

Pasta Sauce - Home-made! 

Pasta with tomato sauce , sausage & basil leave



Potato Salad with Nihon cucumber (again)

Half eaten Chawamushi 
This was a first time trial and the result was commendable ( by who?? ME lah, who else ^^) Even though it dint look that good, but dun judge a book by its cover hor..

Anyway, quite simple to make. Just mix egg with chicken stock, add a bit of japanese soya sauce, salt and sugar, throw in the ingredient you wan ( e.g. shitaka, fish cake, chicken etc), steam it and there you have, your own chawamushi!
(P.S It was a half-eaten picture, because it was so good that I cant wait to eat it, so forget to take picture mah... *bleah*)

My proud contributuon - Tirumisu!

My frens said it was good! A nice dessert to end off our meal indeed... When are we having another session?? Keke

*********
Receipe for Tirumisu
First you have to buy:

250g mascarpone cheese cost $6+
200g lady fingers $3+
2 eggs
cocoa powder or milo powder
100g sugar
Coffee


Steps:

Seperate the egg yolk and egg white
Beat the sugar and egg yolk together
Mix in the cheese
Fold in the (beaten) egg white
Dip the lady fingers into the coffee
Line the aluminium trayput with 1 layer of the egg/sugar/cheese mixture
Repeat until tray is full
Sprinkle on cocoa
Put in fridge for 4 hrs

P.S. Personally, think can use less sugar since the lady fingers bought from Cold Storage were actually sweetened

Dempsey Road

12:14:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

The first time I went Dempsey Road was to go to The Wine Company , a number of years ago. It was a nice place to chill out as it was kinda secluded, "hidden away" in the middle of some undeveloped ( or rather uncommericalised) area near Tanglin. You actually got to drive through dimly-lighted roads to go right in, before you find the place. Along the way, you would pass through rows of bunglow-like buildings that seemed to be selling antiques, paintings and unique furniture etc etc

Crowds was still tolerable, probably because of its inaccessibility. In fact, it gave its visitors an "exclusive" touch as only the "who knows it" will come. There was also no clearly defined parking lots, you just park anywhere you like... A sense of freedom & rebellious!

Recently, the area was developed. Pop, Pop, Pop, new restaurants, eateries, spa, club sprouted like no people business. There were nicely drawn white lines to define the parking lots. People flooded in to the new "hang-out" area, creating robust and excitement.

Gone with the wind, the serenity and the exclusivity. In its replacement, a replicate of another Holland Village or other commercialized area. There used to be a swing, where we can sit and enjoy the quietness. I kinda missed it when I was there yesterday...

Anyway, I went Ben & Jerry for a late-night dessert as I crazed for sweet stuff. Nothing new huh? Haha..

Warm Chocolate Mudpie with Hot Fudge
"California Experience" - 4 Selection of desserts with 1 scoop of B&J icecream ( Great for those who cant decide wat to have, coz the chef will make the final call =p)
