anti-rice campaign #2: full metal jacket potato

this time around, its fruits and vegetable.. salad made from diced red and green apples, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and held together with thousand island dressing and for the main course a huge jacket potato.. made with russet potato, of course. boiled first then split in the middle and baked with garlic butter, then stuffed with more butter and leftover bolognaise sauce, sprinkled with cheese and salami bits then grilled again to melt the cheese... and finished with a dash of cayenne pepper. the salad.... the jacket potato

the pasta sauce complemented the baked potato nicely in terms of flavours and to have the melted cheese together with the salami bits in each bite was the highlight..

the "piece the resistance".

my compliments to the chef.. sprinkled with cayenne.. which gave it an extra "zing"

and, i was pleasantly surprised that the potato was quite filling

a simple and yet satisfying meal.

anti-rice campaign #1: the anatomy of a burger

some days you just seem to get sick of rice, dont you? well, i do... this was one of those days...and as fate would have it, it was "build your own burger day" yaay..!!! things you need: gardenia burger buns grilled ramly burger and grilled salami sliced cucumber, sliced onions and sliced tomatoes garlic butter, mustard, mayo, tomato/chili sauce, coarse black pepper. looking at the grand scheme of things.. the staging ground.. step #1 slather both sides of the bun with garlic butter and layer the bottom part with the sliced cucumber. actually i think the buns could have been bigger :-) step #2 generously apply mustard on both sides

step #3

place the salami on top of the cucumber slices, apply chilli sauce and cover with the onions

step #4

top with the grilled burger and tomato and sprinkle on some pepper

=and "taa-daaaaaah"...

there you have it, a burger ready to eat..

we actually forgot to put the cheese...

well, i made and ate 2, by the way...

:-D

and ry had fun assembling the burger.. his way...
