food fest Q3 09 aka "How to lose weight laah, you tell me??"

My dad stayed over a few weekends ago and as you usual it was food fiesta time again... How to lose weight laah you tell me?? We bought some stuff from the pasar Ramadan and Lp made some stuff as well… LP made pork ribs Seasoned with soy and slowly cooked in the claypot for 2-3 hours

Its black because of the soy sauce…. Moist, sweet and tender flesh just slipping off from the bone. We’ll definitely do a grilled version if we ever get the BBQ up.

She also made a puff pastry with tuna filling topped with cut tomatoes and chillies. Very light scrumptious and definitely a good breakfast food I was actually quite disappointed this year with the fare from the pasar ramadan. Nothing that I bought tasted nice, not even remotely mediocre… And to make matters worse, our adventure to “karrukudi “ was just such a big letdown.. the briani rice was just plain bland and wet. And I’m never going back there again.

On the bright side, I found a place that sells better briani rice. Its from a nasi kander shop called tajuddin in queen street. And where is queen street? Well, it right there next to kings street and china street.. :-) (Googlemap it laah) Its only cost $3 for the rice which is quite a huge portion and $4 for a huge piece of chicken. The rice was very fluffy and it was very nicely spiced. Overall, it was so much better than the one we had at karrikudi for this one i could taste the spices, cinnamon, onions, cardamon, star aneis...etc... Mee goreng from the stall in front of the pulau tikus “mata-keng” . my personal all time favourite.

Mee goreng was as usual quite good but my dad commented that the mee rebus was not as good anymore.. also, I never buy from the Bangkok lane stall … I actually cant remember why its on my “banned” list..

And last but not least, not forgetting bran who had his porridge… hehehe…

fried rice at home

We had leftover rice and the stuff from the steamboat so elpea whipped up a very good dinner on Saturday. Simple and satisfying.

She made fried rice with eggs, Taiwan sausage and sliced cabbage.

The rice was just nice and I liked the crunchiness of the sliced cabbage. Taiwan sausaes taste great as well.

She also made soup with all the meatballs and dumplings. This was for ry as he needs soup with his rice. I didn’t go for the soup but instead ate the stuff in the soup.

I could not decide what to eat 1st as I love fried rice and I also love meatballs/dumplings. Very satisfied.. Thank you dear.. I can eat this everyday.

Rice and black beans are Ry's fav food White rice with Black bean soup and carrots or Khee chee soup i dont think he can live without rice and soup. our little chinaman.. well, at least he eats pasta once in a while.
