咸香肉片

2014-03-19T10:21:00.000-07:00

这道肉片让我想起我的弟妹，因为我们所有兄弟姐妹都很喜爱吃它。一道家常且下饭的菜肴。蔬菜的部分可以依个人喜好来配搭。加上一碗白饭，就是一两个人均衡的一餐。

材料：大蒜3颗，瘦肉 500g, 西兰花 1包，蚝油1汤匙，黑酱油1茶匙，水3汤匙，胡椒粉少许

腌料：盐半茶匙，糖半茶匙，酱油1汤匙，胡椒粉少许，绍兴酒1汤匙，蜀粉1汤匙

准备材料：大蒜切末，肉切片（加腌料，腌2小时或隔夜），西兰花洗净

做法：

1. 烧开一锅水，放少许油和盐。放入西兰花烫熟，备用。

2. 热锅，加入3－5汤匙油。放入肉片煎熟。

3. 将肉片起锅。如果太多油，可以将一些油倒掉。

4. 锅里剩少许的油，放入蒜末，炒香。不必炒到金黄色，会有苦味。

5. 加入蚝油，炒一会。

6. 放入肉片翻炒，然后加入黑酱油，最后加入水。

7. 肉片起锅，与西兰花摆盘。

8. 在肉片上撒上少许胡椒粉，增添香气。

2014-03-07T02:15:00.002-08:00

这是一道家常汤，材料简单，方便易做。天气热就以此汤清热下火。这汤主要喝烧猪骨的香，所以没有加鱿鱼干或蚝干。

白萝卜 1根

红萝卜 1根

红枣 2颗（一般小颗的就要用6－8颗）

水 4公升

3. 盖子打开，中火煮30分钟

4. 然后转小火，盖上盖子褒三小时。

5. 如果味道太浓，可以加1－2碗水。

褒了3小时的成品。

清炒芥兰

2014-02-27T03:56:00.001-08:00

芥兰有一股农药味，我都会去买有机的。少了那股味道，也多了份安心。我把姜剁碎榨汁，用来腌肉。剩下的渣就收起来，这个时候就可以用上。除了炒菜，也可以用来蒸鱼。物尽其用。

材料：

1. 芥兰一包（250g）

2. 姜丝少许

3. 酒 1汤匙

4. 盐少许

5. 油 1汤匙

6. 水 3汤匙

1. 芥兰洗净，切段备用。

2. 热锅，下油。将姜丝爆香。

5. 加入水和盐炒匀。

嘻哈大笑

2014-02-21T09:19:00.001-08:00

这是外婆的招牌年菜之一，取名嘻哈大笑。在粤语虾是念哈。广东人喜爱有意头的年菜，所以都会将年菜取一些吉祥吉利的名字。这道菜意味着新的一年里大家一起嘻哈大笑，开开心心！

这道菜简单易做，不失美味。煎虾后留下橘红色的虾油混合酱油和葱丝，沾着虾或是配着白饭都是那么的美味。咸咸香香的。这就是我熟悉的外婆味道。吃在嘴里的美味，但是心里却是那份对外婆的怀念。

材料：

大虾／明虾 - 图片用八只

青葱 - 依个人喜好，图片用两棵（切丝）

油 - 3大匙

酱油 - 1大匙

做法：

1. 将虾洗净去腸，用纸巾抹干。

2. 把油到近锅里，油热了，放虾煎熟。

3. 虾摆盘，淋上锅里剩下的虾油和酱油。

4. 放上葱丝

Choco Muffins

2011-07-17T07:57:00.000-07:00

I always wanted to bake and finally i did it! It's not from the cake mix which you can get it from the shop. I did the measuring and mixing by myself. The outcome is edible but not perfect for me. I will share out the recipe later which i think is good. I love the pastel cases!

Lola's Cupcakes

2010-12-30T15:45:00.000-08:00

First time I saw Top Shop is selling cupcakes. I didn't try any of it during my first visit to this shop but the shining cupcakes are so unforgettable. I kept thinking of it. Recently I went there again, and this time I tried 2 type of their flavour. I didn't get any shinning cupcake and the end. It's because I was there before their closing, so not much of choices left.

The packing

Chocolate milk - chocolate cupcake with pure vanilla bean icing and chocolate pieces

Rocky road - marble vanilla & chocolate cake smothered with marshmallows, nuts and milk chocolate buttons

The chocolate cupcake is slightly bitter and it goes well with the vanilla icing. It's a perfect match!

The marshmallows gave a special texture to the cupcake. You can feel the softness of the cake, the sponginess of the marshmallow and the crunchiness of the chocolate button. It's fun to eat it!

Lola's cupcakes are beautiful and delicious. It's really different from the cupcakes I tried before.

Tang Yuan

2010-12-23T17:41:00.000-08:00

My family will celebrate dumpling festival every year. If it is on weekends, for sure I will go back to home town and celebrate with my family. If I'm not able to go back, I will still have tang yuan on this special day. Sometimes I will get the frozen tang yuan from hypermarket. This year, I made it!

Plain and filled tang yuan with ginger syrup

It's hard for me to make the peanut filling because I don't have a food processor. I used crunchy peanut butter as a replacement. It taste salty but it goes well with the ginger syrup.

Roasted Reared Pig Soft Bap

2010-12-19T09:22:00.000-08:00

German theme Christmas market in Southampton this year. There is plenty of stalls selling food like Greman sausages, burgers, Indian food, Chinese noodles, Thai food, doughnuts and ...... For sure I'll try something new, so I chose the roasted reared pig.

Beside the pork, I added the stuffing, apple sauces and crisps on top of the soft bap. The pork is juicy but I'm not really into the apple sauces. The crisp actually is the skin, it's so crispy and tasty.

Childhood Pancake

2010-12-07T09:39:00.000-08:00

My grandma and mum made this for tea-time when I was young. I think this is the 1st dessert I made in my life. Since I'm the eldest of my 3 siblings during primary, I used to made this for them while my mum having her nap. I made it today, just enjoy the moment of mixing the batter and flipping it in the pan. The sound is like a melody, it bring me back to the memory land.

Creamy Carbonara

2010-12-05T09:53:00.000-08:00

I'm not a big fan of carbonara before this until I tired it at a restaurant in KL. During that night my friend ordered carbonara penne and she offered me to try it. After that, the fragrance and the taste made me love it.

I made my own and it's simple yet delicious.

I like it with spaghetti or penne.

Ingredients
Spaghetti / Penne - 1 portion (cooked)
Mushroom - 2-3, and slice it
Smoked bacon - cut into square
Carbonara sauces - 2 tablespoons ( any brand as you prefer)
Water - 1 tablespoons

Olive oil - a little bit

1. Heat up the pan and add in the mushroom without oil. Fry both side until golden brown. Set a side.
2. Add some olive oil to the pan and put in the bacon. Fry until golden brown.
3. Now add in the mushroom back to the pan.
4. Add the carbonara sauce and water.
5. Turn to the low fire and let it simmer for 1 min.
6. Turn off the fire, add the spaghetti/penne and stir well.
7. Sprinkle some black pepper to enhance the flavour. Skip it if you doesn't like it.

Forget about diet and enjoy it!

Honey Mustard Sauce

2010-12-03T12:40:00.000-08:00

I love the Subway sandwich with honey mustard sauce but I couldn't get the sauce from the store nearby here. In this case, I tried to mix it on my own and it worked!

Ingredients :

Mayonnaise - 2 1/2 tablespoons

Honey - 1 tablespoon

Mustard - 1/4 teaspoon (depends how strong the taste you prefer, I like it mild.)

Mix it well.

My sandwich (picture above) : Turkey breast, tomato, red onion, iceberg lettuce, cucumber with toasted wholemeal bread and Honey Mustard Sauce.

This is my lovely lunch.

The Coffee Gelato

2010-12-02T14:26:00.000-08:00

I visited London last month and I been to this gelato shop- Amorino as our dessert of that freezing night. It was too cold to have gelato, so 3 of us decided to share one. I was so regret that i didn't have one for my own!

The speciality of them is you can choose as many flavour as you like to scope in the cup. We had chocolate, pistachio, coffee and mango. I'm a chocolate lover but the coffee gelato here is awesome! Pistachio is a must try too.

They serve 28 flavours of hot chocolate.

I will defiantly go back for the coffee gelato! Ciao!
