Cook and Cook

As mentioned in an earlier post, I now cook once a week for Ken to bring makan to work. The group of 6 men now take turns to cook everyday, which is a nice break for me. :p

Today Ken is working night shift, meaning I cook in the morning and he bring it as dinner for the guys. As I ran out of ideas what to cook, I was looking around on some blogs for inspiration and found a recipe for a 三杯鸡. It seemed easy to cook and it was, the result was not bad too - just that the chicken a bit tough.

Here's what the guys are having for dinner today... (sorry about the blur pics, my editing skills sucks)

Seems like a lot? Actually I prepared 4 portion of fried rice to go with the chicken. I wanted all of them to try the Xin Hua Noodles thingy that my MIL will cook every 1st day of CNY. All you have to do is put some Xin Hua Noodles in a bowl and add in the Mixed Vegetables. The Fried Omelette Strips, Fried Shallots, Peanuts and Hei Cai are toppings to enhance the flavour. Suppose to add Hua Diao Wine before eating but I dunno how to pack that. Haha.

The noodles is very precious, brought from Singapore and I still have some in the fridge. I am keeping it for CNY. :) As you noticed, it's somewhat a vegetarian meal, it's pretty nice if served hot. Hope they will enjoy it.

The Impossible Thing Happened

Oh gosh! I have done it! I bought something I saw on the TV Shopping Channels. Urgh! What have I done?!?!

This was what made me sink to a new low.

This is a 10-pc. Silicone Collapsible Bake & Carry Bakeware Set. Includes two 9" round pans, 8-1/2" brownie pan, six-cup Texas muffin pan, loaf pan with meatloaf insert, 15" x 11" baking mat, 12" x 8" toaster mat, 15" x 11" baking board, and plastic lid.

I bought the mocha (brown) colored set. Haiz. I hope that it is as good as it seems on the TV. Oh man! I am such a sucker! Everything is supposed to be collaspsible and can be packed into the container, which could be used to carry any baked goods as well. I was thinking of replacing quite a bit of what I had due to stubborn stains, etc. I shall try baking something once I get my hands on it. Suppose to receive it on Oct 22nd, will post my experiment here.

Vacation

Dear Friends,

I will be away from 02 - 13 Sep. Will probably update the week when I am back.

I'll be going to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Penslyvannia, Virginia and Maryland, so be prepared for tons of pics.

Enjoy your week ahead!

Healthy Living

Since I turned 34, I have decided to eat healthier. This could not come at a better time. Ken has joined his colleagues for a makan arrangement where each person will bring all the food per week. Currently there are 6 people in this plan, so I have to cook once a week for his makan only. When he is home from work, we will eat something simple and not be concerned that he has to be bringing the food to work and hence have to avoid some food cause they taste sucky when re-heat.

So the pics are some meals that we have at home. We can have porridge or noodle soup or seafood! Haha.
