Food, Food and Food

I'm made so much food during the weekend and is trying to squeeze them in now. Haha.
Well, I learnt to make cola pork ribs and Fried Prawns! Really love them. I'm also pending for my happycall pan, hope to get it soon!

So all the food are here till I have time to blog them!

Cola Ribs. 1st try and they tasted nice. Should have garnish them. 

Mummy and my recent obsession. Korean Seaweed. Yummers!

Baked Salmon

Another one of my favourite. Fried Prawns with Egg Tofu

Xiao Bai Cai with Mushrooms

I, for one hated mushrooms. I'm never a mushroom person. One day, I decided, no matter how much I hated mushrooms, I still have to prepare it with my food so that others (toot) get to enjoy them. :p

This dish is extremely simple too!

Xiao Bai Cai with Mushrooms




Ingredients
1. A handful of mushrooms
2. A bunch of Xiao Bai Cai
3. Stock - I used leftover prawn stock that day
4. Oyster Sauce - I ran out of it that day!
5. Minced Garlic

Mushrooms
1. Add oil into frying pan.
2. When the temperature is hot enough, add in minced garlic and quick fry for a few moments. You should smell the garlic aroma.
3. Throw in the mushrooms.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of light soya sauce
5. Quick fry for a while till the mushrooms absorb the sauce.
6. Dish up the mushrooms.

Xiao Bai Cai

2. Once the water boils, add in the vegetables
3. Remove the vegetables in about 30 sec. Yes, it will turn dark green when overcooked.
4. Dish on to plate.
5. Add in the mushrooms together with the sauce and stock.
6. If you have oyster sauce, you can add it in too.

Ham & Cheese Wholemeal Wrap

Recently I have been buying wholemeal wraps and making them into healthy wraps for meals. It's easy, quick and healthy!

I just wrapped, Ham and Cheese, and whatever fillings you want into the wrap, made it into a square shape cos I can never get it to look like a spring roll and pan fried it! No oil needed. Just flip it around when it's browned. Oh, good to have the edges done first so that the wrapping doesn't come off.

Enjoy!

Trying to get a shot of the Ham & Cheese

Perfecto Kitchen

Finally hacking and rebuilding wall has been completed.
My perfect kitchen is in sight. :p

Love the spaciousness of the kitchen now.

Didn't had the chance to take more photos because contractor has fixed some of the lights, hence we were busy discussing about the options. And also, I almost blackout. Had to leave.

Today is lamination and design selection day! Hopefully we can complete by end dec. :p

Layout of our home

Since we don't have a proper 3D design, I did my own layout. :p

It's not to scale since I was too lazy to use Sweet Home 3D. But that's basically the whole idea.

PS: Yoga room needs to be transformed!

Hacking was finally approved on Mon and Building an additional wall was approved on Tue. Apparently the contractor did not hack on Mon as he promised cos we went there after work and nothing was done.
toot  went to the house on Wed afternoon and saw that the hacking was done. That was also when the contractor sms me to say it's completed. Requested for the photos and they never came till today.-_-"

Anyway, we went last night and took some pictures! Apparently, they have started building up my new wall. :p

The Mini Kitchen previously

Now the Right Wall has moved further out

Kitchen looks more spacious

toot says we can fit in a mahjong table. -_-"

Can't wait to see the final space when the whole wall is up

Will be going down again tonight, hopefully there is progress!
