什菜煎餅 Fried vegetable fritters

應該開始食中餐了，唔係小孩們以為自己是西人添。這是自創的菜餅，有小朋友的家庭又唔怕熱氣的話，試下啦，好易架，切細所有要放的菜，加salt，pepper，蛋，麵粉，同水就得了，騙小孩食菜的良方!

After days of Western food, it is time to go Chinese, yes, this is a new dish! I strongly encourage families whose kids don't like vegetables to try this, and yes, I know, it is FRIED.... Isn't it just delicious???? heeee.... just chop up tons of vege and mix with eggs, flour and water; add your own seasoning and pan fry till crisp.... VOILA!

You may call it Sophie's Choice ! Haaaaaaaa

羊排 Lamb Chops

囡囡最中意的燒羊排，有時懶就煎, 最好是用火炭 + Weber燒烤才夠香啊!

Don't know why, lamb chops is my daughter's favorite meat... hmm... personally I don't fancy it that much until my kids took a liking to it. I will blame it on Uncle Albert of Pasadena, it can ONLY be HIS roast lamb ...

燒猪肋骨 Roast Pork Ribs

這道冶味的燒排骨是我的最愛，不可以賴我的囝囡了，夠坦白吧！沒有拍BBQ 汁給你們看，就是用燒排骨的汁加黑椒，ketchup 和 喼汁，自己再試味就成！

Introducing my favorite Roast ribs, the most important part is the salad that comes with it... haaa.... believe it or not!

講英語的牛 Mooooo mooo

哈哈哈哈，煎牛排是也！

Steak, medium rare; that is exactly how my children like their steaks. Of course daddy has to be different and he likes his medium well. Good thing I am very accomodating, or else the cook will definitely quit on the job, haaa!

西式牛腩寬條麵+煮三文 Beef stew with fettucine

今個星期大多數吃西餐，最開心就是囝囝。。。今晚要出到Fettucine 意大利寬條麵，用炆牛柳來配，不錯！

It is getting more and more difficult to think of dinner item for the little brood at home... guess soon it will be east meets west, sea meets land... haaa

這是什麼？ What is the name of these sea creature?

我們這兒叫它做貢貢，不過我知道這是馬來音譯過來的，它的本名我不懂，請指教。它是我家每一個成員都喜愛的貝殼類，口感好像東風螺一樣，上次Iris來我們還一連吃兩次啊，超讚！

Can anyone tell me the name of this shellfish? In Singapore, we call it Gong Gong, but that is definitely Malay changed into English. And please don't tell me it is called clams, THAT I will not accept, heee... This clam is one of the BEST tasting and best texture shellfish that I have eaten, and my whole family loves it. When Iris came and visited us two months ago, we had it twice as appetizer. Yummmy!

炸薯條魚柳 Fish n Chips

輪到炸薯條同魚柳，改下口味都不錯，好過被人講：“又係吃飯耶！”配上粉好吃的湯，是我的牧師太太教我煮的，叫Eurasian Stew,用不同的菇類放在雞湯內，超讚！

Fish N Chips, what lovely french fries! I don't normally indulge in such delicious calories laden stuff, but once in awhile .... heee. The best part is actually this Eurasian Stew that my pastor's wife taught me. It is a chicken soup base heavy laden with different types of mushrooms, carrots and potatoes. Really yummilicious and my kids just slurp it up real fast!

改裝批薩 Modified Pizza

懶人我，用意大利Foccacia麵包代替自造pizza base，意大利肉醬，加上Mozzarella 起司，出爐了！

Christy，生日快樂！ Happy Birthday to Christy

今日是好友Christy的生日，她囡囡告訴我寿星女最喜歡草莓，所以我立刻去買新鮮甜美的草莓回來，做這個奶油蛋糕來做賀禮，希望她喜歡，也祝福她

主恩滿溢
青春常駐
身體健康！

Today is my friend Christy's birthday; and I got a tip from her beautiful daughter that she LOVES strawberries... That's great, strawberry cream cake it is then. Immediately went to buy a punnet of fresh strawberries to prepare my birthday gift.

Trying to remember how long I have known Christy and hmmm I actually can only remember her kids, that just shows what age does to my memory. Nevertheless, I am just glad that God has sent her family to our church and hope that she has grown in the Lord there. Really appreciate her friendship and laughters!

Happy Birthday Christy!

God bless you today, everyday and always!

講日文的三文魚 Salmon Don

今晚要煮老公喜歡的日式煎三文魚，因為昨晚西式他一点都不欣賞，為免老爺說我偏心，今晚就補償他的不悦吧！

I wonder if hubby actually likes the furikake-yasai flakes or the salmon itself? He kept on insisting that Japanese Salmon Rice is much nicer than the Western way of cooking... hmmmm... The amount of those topping he put on the salmon makes me wonder again and again. Heeeeee... guess as long as he likes the whole assemble, I shouldn't complain.

本來游水的三文魚 Salmon Dinner

有cheese的還是沒cheese的好食哩？其實三文魚本身就很多脂肪，雖然是好的油，也是很容易吃到怕耶，囝囝竟然可以吃兩大份，連妹妹吃不完的半塊他也報銷。。。厲害！

Haven't had nice salmon steak for a long time, and it is Nicky's favorite fish. This morning in the market, saw some really fresh and nice salmon; so it became our dinner tonight. I used mixed herb to season it a bit then pan fried with butter. Nick specially requested his to have a cheese topping, so there it is. I think Nick really did it justice as he finished 2 and a half portion of salmon, incredible!

失敗之作 Failed Copycat

簡直是醜不忍睹，等我有正確的模時，一定會再試過，你地等我啦！

Does anyone have the mold that make this type of half swiss roll? Can you send me a picture of it, so I can ask my friend to buy for me in HK please :) !

新嘗試的醜陋igloo The UGLY Igloo

你們不用安慰我，我知道這個蛋糕的颜色實在難看，我祗是在好多靚女猫友的blog上看到她們做的Dome蛋糕很美，所以才試一下，因為這兒沒有那個模，我就用個大湯碗代替，所以有的三不像！

This is a black forest dome, yes, it really looks ugly outside; REALLY truthfully.... The only saving grace is that it tasted ok inside, with whipped cream and cherries etc.... or else... dustbin here it goes.

The reason why I made it was that I have seen so many blogger friends in HK making this lovely REAL dome shaped chocolate cake, really lovely, so i wanted to try. The sad part is that the mold is unavailable here so I improvised with a soup bowl; but have no fear, I have two Na Na Angels who are going to hunt for it and one will fly it here for me, YEAH! Stay tuned for the REAL dome to appear, YEAH!

換一下口味吧 Food glorious food

連續那麼多天post台灣之旅，悶死我了，你們真好，沒有掉蕃茄要我下台，感謝！

After so many days of my Taiwan trip, even I am getting very bored. And good news is that it is almost ending, but ALMOST only. To take a breather, let you see how patriotic I am with my annual July 4th party. Though I was in Taiwan on the day, I had a small scale post Independence Day Dinner with my favorite so called my American dishes. Nope, I said MY version of it, so I skipped the normal hot dogs, buffalo wings and apple pies; instead I had Nachos, pasta w meatballs, n bratwursts. Heee, can't say it is typical, but it is the thoughts that count, haaaaaaa.........

God Bless America!
