Boiled Butter Sweet Corn

noreply@blogger.com (Keyna Cheah) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:46:00 +0000

Actually, I prefer just boiling the corn to eat but then I'm craving for this Boiled Butter Sweet Corn today. I remember when I was young my parents likes to buy me boiled corn when going to the cinema for a movie. Sometimes they brought boiled peanuts too. Those where the days, now that they are old and have no strength to take me to the cinema no more. Perhaps I can take them to the cinema. This is the life of cycle. I hope and pray for them to have good health and live longer. Papi, Mami wait for me to come back next year, how nice if they can hear me now. I think they are in the middle of their sweet dreams now. Alright! back to the corn.

Corn is very healthy and delicious. The best thing is now every where at the store is having great deals. I'm getting these corns 4 for a dollar. Beware of heartburn when eating too much corns. It is difficult for digestion. Completely bite before swallow.

Boiled Butter Sweet Corn

Ingredients :

5 large sweet corn ( i used combo corn, yellow and white)

3 tablespoon butter ( i used planta majerin)

3 tablespoon cream ( i used half and half )

1 tablespoon sugar

salt to taste

Method :

Husk and clean corns, place the corns on the plate and steam for about 15 minutes. Remove from

steamer and leave it chill for a while. Use hand or knife to scrape down kernel from cob and set aside.

Heat up a pot on medium to low, melt butter add corn and sugar. Leave it to cook for about 15
minutes.

Adjust the heat to low and add in the cream ( i used half and half), stir it and let it cook for a while.

Add salt to taste and cook for another 10 minutes or until soft and creamy.

Serve immediately.

Mixed Fruit Punch Cocktail

noreply@blogger.com (Keyna Cheah) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:43:00 +0000

I've been having this Mixed Fruit Punch Cocktail recipe since I was a teenage. If I'm not mistaken I got this recipe from one of my sisters. The ingredients are very simply, just fruits and juice. I modified a tiny bit by adding in more fruits and gelatin. As for the red wine or any kind of wine, it is depending if you like it or not. It is very refreshing. I like to add a lot of watermelon. It is definitely very suitable for parties or after a heavy meal. I just love it.

Mixed Fruit Punch Cocktail

Ingredients :

Any kind of fruits at your wish, I used : -

Watermelon, cut small cubes

Cantaloupe, cut small cubes

Pineapple, cut small cubes

Strawberry, cut small cubes

Apple, cut small cubes

Kiwi, cut small cubes

Agar - agar, cut small cubes

Red wine - 2 tablespoon ( you can omit this)

*Pineapple, cut small cubes

*Water - 1 cup

*Sugar - 1/2 cup

( Boil all * ingredients on low heat for about 10 minutes, remove and leave it to cool)

Method :

Into a big glass jar/bowl, dump in all the cut fruits and pour in the pineapple sugar juice.

Add orange juice or any kind at your wish. I sometimes used Ribena juice.

Gently mix well everything equally, place it in the fridge before serve.

Enjoy!!!

Vietnamese Style Pork Chop with Rice

noreply@blogger.com (Keyna Cheah) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:58:00 +0000

Delicious Vietnamese Style Pork Chop with Rice is presented. Can't describe how tasty was this pork chop especially served with jasmine rice. When comes to Vietnamese cuisine this is one of the well known and a must order when eating in any of the Vietnamese restaurants. Btw, can you see the mistake i've made here? It is because I add black sauce. A tiny bit makes this pork chop turns out so dark. Don't worry, in the recipe, no black sauce is needed. Last but not least no doubt, it is dark but it still taste yummy.

Vietnamese Style Pork Chop with Rice

Ingredients :

6 slice pork chop with bone ( centre cut)

3 teaspoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon cooking wine ( i used VSOP)

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon lime juice

3 stalks lemon grass, smashed

2 bulb shallot, mince

2 cloves garlic, mince

1 teaspoon ginger, mince

Method :

In a bowl marinate pork with all the above ingredients for about 4 - 6 hours or place it in the fridge

overnight.

Remove from fridge and thaw. Discard marinate.

Heat up the wok or pan on medium heat, add about two teaspoon cooking oil. Add in the pork, fry

each side for about 5 - 8 minutes.

Prepare a plate, Scoop up rice and place into small rice bowl and put it on a plate and flip it over.

When the pork chop is ready, place it on the plate and arrange tomato and cucumber slice, lettuce and

cilantro. I prefer to add some fried garlic on the top.

Enjoy!!

Boyfriend's Lamb Chop

noreply@blogger.com (Keyna Cheah) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:02:00 +0000

Must be curious_hah why I named this dish as Boyfriend's Lamb Chop. This recipe is actually from my boyfriend and he has promoted to a better position, which is my husband. LOL!!! He loves this very much and I can say he is very good at cooking this Lamb Chop. I think partly because of this I marry him. He used to cook a lot of this Lamb Chop for me before we got married. It has really impressed me with his passion in cooking. Not say that he is only good at this perhaps there are a few more specialty dishes I like from his collections, for example waxed duck rice, stir-fry yu choy with chili padi, kunyit fried chicken and kampung fried rice which is posted earlier at my blog. If im not mistaken he is only good at these few dishes cause whenever if I'm not cooking or gone to the park with the kids, we will be able to see one of the above dishes on the table waiting for us to come home. I can say he is a very romantic person and a good father. But nowadays he seems to be getting more busier and I think its time for me to cook this for everyone now. Sounds fair, right!! Back to the Lamb Chop, it is a super easy to make and yet very juicy and delicious meal. This Lamb Chop makes me become his wife and make me cook for him forever and ever. I bet he can't see this cause he barely got time to browse at my blog.

Boyfriend's Lamb Chop

Ingredients :

8 pieces lamb lion chops, 1 inch thick

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoon oyster sauce

*marinate lamb for 20 minutes

To serve with :

french fries

tomato slice

curly lettuce or any vegetables

ketchup or chili sauce

Method :

Fry the lamb chop in wok or pan with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil ( or grill in oven).

Fry lamb about 3 minutes on each side or depends how cooked you want it to be, i like it to be well

done and slightly burned at sides.

Arrange french fries, curly lettuce and tomato slices.

Serve immediately.

Enjoy with your loved one.
