stuffed chicken breast and mixed vegetable

breakfast of vermicelli and meatballs again. with the new addition of an egg. to be honest, he wouldn't get sick of eating the same thing everyday, not yet at least.


stuffed chicken breast - stuffed with cheese and ham, then coated with cereal before frying. still the super delicious treat with creamy cheese that oozes out with each bite. this time round, butter was added to the oil, which made the aroma even more tantalising.


mixed vegetable of broccoli, carrots and baby corn. cooked with a slab of butter and some water. corn and broccoli still crunchy while the carrot was softened enough.


heart shaped watermelon - made using the same mold that molded the heart shaped stuff you've seen in this blog. she's contemplating buying a flower mold in the near future...


the victim - still looking good.


he had also made porridge with diced pork loin and pork liver, but it didn't look too good. also, he had forgotten to marinate the meat, so it didn't taste that good in the end. the failed dish of today. no pictures.

stir-fried pork loin, spinach with bacon

has become a practice to sleep in during the weekends. however, it got out of hand today, woke up only at 3.30pm.

she prepared very late brunch, boiled some water, threw in the vermicelli, some soup base, some meatballs and a few stalks of spinach.

meatball vermicelli soup - bland start to the day, but grateful that it feels healthy.


and just a few hours later, it was time to prepare dinner. chopped up garlic, spinach and sliced the bacon. heated garlic in a few drops of oil before adding the bacon. once cooked, the spinach and 1/4 cup of water were added. threw in a pinch of salt and some seasoning, upped to medium heat, and stirred vigourously before serving.

spinach with bacon - spinach still crunchy and the bacon added extra oomph.


chopped some ginger, yellow onion, and sliced 3 pork loins. she then proceeded to mix one of her self-created marinades. this day, she removed the top of the shell and extracted the egg white only. the other ingredients were oyster sauce, flour, salt, sugar, pepper, he cannot remember what else. cooked the pork loin before adding the sauce she created.

stir fried pork loin - savoury, but a bit too salty to eat without staple. otherwise, very yummy.

lime chicken, mushroom soup, meatball vermicelli

she woke up slightly earlier than him to prepare breakfast of vermicelli soup with "flowered" meat balls and vegetable (not too sure of the name). he had a hasty breakfast before going to work.


next up, dinner. he bought full cream milk, bacon, chicken breast, etc, as requested by her.

the first thing she made was mushroom soup with bacon bits. sounds yummy, doesn't it?
thinly sliced the bacon and fried them till brown. mashed up a steamed potato, diced some mushrooms and onions. heated onions in some butter until fragrant before putting in the mashed potato and mushrooms. next, milk was poured until it just covered the ingredients. bacon bits were added as preferred.


stir-fried beans with dried shrimp. you've seen this before, heat garlic and dried shrimps in oil until fragrant before adding the vegetable into the fray.


sesame lime chicken. this was a very troublesome dish. had to fry the batter-coated chicken a few at a time, after which the wok had to be washed and cook the lime mixture with the chicken until it was gluey enough. the extent of work made him feel quite tired, the wife however remained energetic. haha..

last dinner of 2009

he took a shower and slept after reaching home from the office. suddenly, he was rudely awoken by a frantic sounding wife. got up and went with her to see what happened. turned out to be dinner time, and some of it were ready to eat. happiness.

egg wrap (omelette) rice - wife special fried rice with curry-flavor chinese-style sausage. she refused to disclose the recipe, but it contained some dried shrimps. very fragrantly done. the egg wrap? she made him help her with frying some egg, and he just went ahead with frying his regular eggs, that's why you see it's not really that wrapped. maybe it should be called "egg covered rice" instead.

"hi tiger bye ox soup" - 100 grams of beef brisket, chicken essence cube, some star anise, ginger chunks, rice vermicelli. not too bad, but maybe the star anise made it a little weird. name of the soup is such to welcome the year of the tiger while the ox takes its break. sounds a little malicious though, when there's beef in the soup and she and he are born in the years of tiger and ox respectively.
