Our 2-Month Anniversary

We need to clear our remaining annual leaves from 2009... so... decided to take today off... and just when we were on the bus to have a brunch... we realised, it's our 2-month anniversary~~~ what a nice surprise

so, at 1PM(!!!) we got on the bus to TST, for a big brunch...

This is a restaurant along the harbour side of TST... called BullDog. Been here a few times for brunch.

Today, I tried something new - Blueberries hotcakes. DELICIOUS, and guilt-free! (love the view! Reminds me of the Aussie days)

                                                           

     
                                     

This is what hubby ordered - the All Day Breakfast

...all @ BullDog =>

At night, it's my cousin's wedding...had a fantastic time with my family and dear bill gor. 

                                     

And - Cheers~

Cooking Diary - xx Jan 2010

Ok.. enough updates for today... so I will just post whatever I have in my camera here, to finish January 2010 off...


As suggested by my colleague, I should just keep some frozen scallops in the fridge for easy cooking... so... I just went to Park'n'Shop and bought a packet of frozen scallops.. they looked normal in size... but... the outcome.. the cooked version... one need to look carefully to find them... they have shrunk to a size that is not very "see-able" =.=


扇貝炒雞髀菇

乾蔥牛仔肉 : I reckon hubby and I had been eating too much lately.. so... I have cut down the portion... ewww... should have used a smaller plate...

hehe... 薑汁芥蘭 I think I have misread Queenie's direction to put in 2 tsp of rice wine.. instead, I put in 2 tbs, so it tasted a little "drunk"... but other than that, it was ok!!! I had a second try a few days later with only 2 tsp ... it was much better.

Last but not least... this is my favourite dish so far...thanks to AAAA's recipe... lemon chicken wings... this is the best dish so far!!! hoping to cook and share with my colleagues (one day)...=>

Oh... and of cos I have to show you all some of the dessert and soup I have made so far... the Purple Potato Sweet Soup was very ginger and tasted just right... Hubby's mom tasted it too - and was impressed =>


As for soup (can't remember the name for it).. the taste was good, but a bit too oily... maybe too lazy to cut out all the pork fat before chucking everything in...

Cooking Diary - 11 Jan 2010

mmm... I am just loving my cook book: "Cooking Note for Filipino Helper" ... bought it at Jusco for just $30!!!

Decided to cook "酸甜汁菠蘿豬頸肉" but thought 豬頸肉 would be too fatty...so..changed it to just normal 豬肉... so...

酸甜汁菠蘿豬肉

I really liked this one.. cos I just LOVE pineapples... but seriously, this one is very "開胃"...

I actually cooked a total of 3 dishes that night, this 2nd one is called "豆角炒牛肉"

The 3rd dish was supposed to be "薑汁芥蘭"... but... just didn't have enough time after work ... so... it was just "sarp" 芥蘭in Oyster Sauce =P

Cooking Diary - 6 Jan 2010

Thanks to my camera setting...so my second cooking was on the 6 Jan 2010...

My cooking photos are much "clearer" this time... as I have more confidence in my cooking from last time.. hehe...

Fried Rice (without looking a cooking recipe!!)

This was yummmy.. honestly... I only threw in whatever I recall from my mommy back in Sydney..

The trick: I used some "cold" rice from my last cooking... ewww...that was 31 Dec 09 (don't worry we are both still well and alive)

The outcome was "乾身" not oily at all. I like I like...

As for the dishes... I cooked "0急汁牛牛仔骨" and "上湯雜菌炒黃芽白"

And... look at the very clean bones... =)

Cooking Diary - 31 Dec 2009

Never thought it would takes me more than a week to write my first cooking diary... internet problem, and then workload just suddenly .... argh...

OK... back to cooking... hehe... although I have not been cooking for more than a week now... nevertheless, I think since I have set up this blog already, I should just upload some of the dishes I have cooked since Dec 2009 last year~~~

mmm...



My first cooking - Cream Corn Broccoli + Fried Pork Chop with Onion in Soy Sauce (31 Dec 2009)

It tasted surprisingly good... as my dear friend, Dida, reminded me that my cooking was horrible back in Sydney (not that I remember I have ever cooked for her =.=) ... my hubby said the dishes were delicious... (see below)...



NO LEFTOVERS!!! hoohoo~~~

Inspired by AAAAinwonderland

Inspired by my dear AAAA, decided to start a blog of my own to record all the cooking I've done during my new life...

Of course my cooking "photos" will not be as amazing as Alice's, but, hehe... I have found a new hobby, and think I will share with my dear friends, and keep a diary on all the things I have cooked for my Hubby! :)

Hopefully, these will be cooking not only for my hubby, but also my dear families and friends!!!

so...here we go...
