curry dinner

came home to see that wife had already cooked the rice and was starting on the curry.

she enthusiastically showed him his special plate of rice, molded in a heart shape.


the rice topped with curry - had potatoes, carry, milk, coconut milk, broccoli, diced chicken, mushroom, definitely not the usual curry, but still enjoyable. great effort.


finally, they sat down to make dessert, "xue mei niang" again. the same processes, with slightly different fillings of kiwi fruit and mango. took them quite a bit of time, but it was quality time spent together.

multi-course dinner

yet another day of sleeping in. got up late noon to start preparing for dinner.

brought out the stuff from carrefour the day before, and realised that he had mistaken kangkong for spinach. how embarrassing.

had the wife's special fried rice again, this time with some "flowered" curry flavour chinese sausages.


two "flowers" - on her request


the kangkong that she made


radish soup with pork ribs (maybe a little too much green onions)


xue mei niang - anyone knows the english name for this? used cornstarch, glutinous rice flour, wheat flour, sugar, milk, whipping cream and cherries for this.


there's another dessert in the fridge, sweet potato mash cake, but let's not disturb it now.

[UPDATE]
here's the picture of the sweet potato mash cake
