MY LG KU990R HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! I’m so blogging it after I’ve used all the features and know it at the tips of my finger!

Anywayyyy…

I realise I have only a thousand photos of food pics that i’m supposed to upload but am supposedly busy (lazy) to do so. So this post will be a mish-mash of food pictures, mostly of the food cooked at home. All of the dishes cooked at home are relatively simple and if you want the recipes, feel free to ask me for them. (:

Starting with 2 dishes eaten outside,

fishball noodles

Both weren’t fantastic at all, so I wouldn’t advice you to try them.

Moving on to some dishes cooked at home.

Starting with the easiest…

bao Mish mash of food
Chicken Bao

Nahhh, we didn’t wrap these bao ourselves, we got it from…

Lele Chicken Bao from NTUC

Bought it from NTUC and I would strongly recommend you NOT to buy it. The skin is hard as nails even after you steam it, worse if you leave it out.

The filling isn’t fantastic and xiao long bao is supposed to have some kind of soup inside it, but this one was very veryyyy dry. So don’t bother buying it!

But if you do decide to buy, please read the instructions…

It says DO NOT DEFROST! My mummy happily went to defrost it, causing it to become a huge lump of bao. Which means I had to eat a huge rock for breakfast. Not good.

century egg porridge
Century Egg porridge

Relatively simple to cook porridge, just that you have to add enough water and leave the rice to boil till its nice and soft. But no matter what porridge you eat, I would recommend that you add…

SPRING ONION, PARSLEY AND GINGER! But add according to how much you love these ingredients. Food without condiments for me isn’t very nice at all. So yea.

And because I love to eat eggs with maggi mee, my mummy and I decided to try out how to do poached eggs as per Gordan Ramsey’s method.

The result?

It was rather successful, so if you want to try it, you can watch Gordan Ramsey’s video here:

You definitely have to ensure that your water ‘tornado’ is spinning fast enough and that its not bubbling. I tried this I think 2 or 3 times to acheive the results in the pictures. (:

macaroni Mish mash of food

MACARONI! One of my favourite dishes but the dish my mother hates to make because of the hard work. But my mummy’s macaroni is really the best, if she says she’s number 1 no one can beg to differ!

The soup is spicy enough because of the black pepper, it has a chicken infused taste to the soup plus the condiments and the finely shredded chicken. I’m not kidding, its the best macaroni in the world and I ain’t bragging.

In case your wondering how much work can it be, look at the amount of chicken we use to cook macaroni..

Thats how much chicken meat we have to shred!

Speaking of chicken,

My mothers latest creation, sort of a chicken herbal soup is also rather to my liking. I don’t like herbal stuff, like all the red dates and everything but eating this is really not bad at all. The only thing is that the soup is rather oily even if you remove the chicken skin.

So my mummy is currently finding ways to cut down the oil.

IF YOU DON’T LIKE FROG LEGS, PLEASE SCROLL UNTIL YOU SEE THE WORD SAFE!

Some of the basic ingredients to make black chilli sauce frog legs will be spring onion, ginger, dried chilli and a specially concocted sauce.

So you have your frog that comes with the body and of course the leg. You have to chop them up and you will get something like this..

All chopped up and ready to cook!

Some people hate frog legs and can’t understand why others can eat them but I guess its a large part of culture. Like if I told you some parts of Africa eat hamsters, you’ll go ew, but then again thats their culture.

The recipe is not perfect but the frog legs were fresh and the meat was cooked till quite tender. You can buy fresh frog legs from Sheng Shiong Supermart, I would recommend you not to buy from giant because my dad found…

2 ROTTING FROG LEGS!

But maybe its because the weather in Singapore is freaking hot these days, like 34 degrees celsius hot. OMG. I can’t live without fan/aircon now.

SAFE!! The frog legs are over, you can read now!

mangosteen Mish mash of food

And a fruit I’m not sure if all of you have seen before. Its called MANGOSTEEN! Its a decent purply colour and the inside looks gorgeously white.

It actually tastes like grape just without the seeds and the texture is abit different. Very sweet and very nice as a after dinner snack. (:

And i’m going to end my post with a sneak preview of whats coming.
