跟風之青紅蘿蔔牛蒡湯 Detox soup: Burdock with triple radish soup





食了泰式炸雞塊,要搵o的清熱野食下,見到蔡師奶的好介紹,之後連笨B媽媽都話o的湯甜靚正,睇完笨B媽的報告後
http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/bb-mama/article?mid=19618&prev=19691&next=19555

已有衝動想立刻去買回來煮,但因為當時病到有少少五顏六色,所以就等到週末才去買來煮俾我的家人飲。。。

一睇就知好介紹,詳細資料請移玉步蔡師奶笨B媽媽處,我祗可賴話我有病在身要休息,其實是我好懶吖!

Daddy Dearest 話勁鮮甜勁好味呢!
This is a very good and easy soup to make to get rid of all the heatiness in your body. Whatever you see in the picture on top, just dump everything in pot of water and boil for 2 hours.... voila!
PS, don't forget to parboil the pork bones...

泰式炸雞塊 Thai Style Fried Chicken


我知我知,未病好唔可以食咁多熱氣食物,不過,我都要為我的家人著想,尤其是我讀書讀到無日無夜,越食越瘦的囡囡啊!

聽起來好像好偉大哩,嘻嘻,其實我都好中意食香口食物,這個餸都是好脆好好味 !
This is one of the most fragrant fried chicken marinade I ever made! YES, even though I was FIGHTING the flu bugs, I had to sacrifice and cooked this for my family to go with their porridge meal. How to control myself when such delicacy is right in front of my face???? Big sacrifice...
Tendy, the marinade secret is in tumeric powder, grated ginger, leper lime leaves, eggs and potato starch powder.... Voila.

Valerie, 生日快樂! Happy birthday Valerie

今日係我好姐妹Liz的囡囡也是我的主日學學生,Valerie, 的生日,前天就收到指示,媽咪話全家見到我的靚靚堡壘模後,好中意,今次的生日蛋糕就要小孩們中意的戚風蛋糕哩!

好姐妹就是好姐妹,不用造作,一針見血的說明要什麼,其實不要我講她都知我會整個蛋糕俾我的學生仔啦!

神對我真好,祂知道我中意食,ahem。。。係煮野食,所以讓我在“款待-hospitality” 這方面來做事奉,現在又教我烘焙,等食到悶的弟兄姐妹可換口味去食蛋糕,神真是奇妙和好愛我啊 !

Today is my good friend Liz's daughter Valerie's birthday! Valerie is also my Sunday School Student and a lovely girl all in one! This chiffon cake is specially requested by Liz for Valerie, because they saw the lovely mold Angela gave me....

在天願作比翼鳥,在地願為連理枝 A blessed Wedding

What a lovely and blessed couple


今日係Yan Ping 同他的美藉越南太太Melanie的wedding reception !Their actual wedding ceremony was held in South Carolina three weeks ago.






This lovely cake was baked by the groom's brother, so talented







This is my old church where the groom is serving as the Associate Pastor, how time flies.

認識Yan Ping時,他還是個十多歲的小哥兒,現在已是教會的副牧師,他的新娘子還是在神學院的同學哩!神的安排真奇妙啊!

When I first knew Yan Ping the groom, he was only a young of about 15 years old. He was very blessed with music talent and a great desire to serve the Lord. After his army training in Singapore, he left for Bob Jones University and later went to another seminary to get his Masters in Bible. He met his bride, Melanie, in Bob Jones 7 years ago. But it wasn't until 5 years ago that the Lord put them together. Their testimonies of their courtship were such evidences of God's Planning. Praise God!

來自海外的禮物 Gifts from Overseas

昨晚放工回家,頑皮的囡囡嚷著要我付十塊錢手續費給她,都不懂她呱呱叫什麼 ,眼尖的我立刻看到在她身旁的郵包 ,輪到我尖叫起來,因為我很少收到郵包嘛,當然很興奮啦 !

哈哈哈,原來是細娜姐, Fiona,寄來她三個月後的晚餐。。。的種子。。。哈哈哈,有日本南瓜,蘿蔔,和蕃茄 ,希望老公不會負細娜姐所託,三個月後能成功的種出來 ,到時細娜姐跟Billy哥哥來新加坡探我們時,成果就可以上桌啊!

唉,不要忘了我那份,我的任務就艱巨多了,就是食完那些來自北海道的十勝豆,粉出名耶 !

多謝妳 ,細娜姐,我會好好督促Daddy Dearest,種好所有o的種子的!

What is that???? I have to pay Babe Dearest $10 service charge? Wowowow, it is an overseas parcel from blog friend Fiona... all the way from HK. Hey, all the gifts are from Hokkaido, seeds and seeds and seeds...

I get it, as Fiona explained, those are supposed to be her dinner when she comes to visit me in three months' time. That is IF Daddy Dearest successfully plants and nurtures and harvests them the way they like it. Well, that is quite a responsibility and I am sure he will be delighted to try.

雞粥,炒麵線 Chicken porridge & Fried Angel Hair


前晚放工後忽然感覺身體在微燒中,還有 , 晚餐後看了醫生食了葯, 一早起床身體筋疲力盡, 倦怠之中, 但還要撐著上班呢...

所以昨晚晚餐,唯有煲雞粥和炒麵線,清清的一餐,當減肥好了。
Hack hack hack, still coughing and suffering from a bit of sore throat! Guess you figured that out by looking at my "patient" dinner of chicken porridge and fried mee sua (fine rice noodle).

焗豬排飯 Baked Pork Chop Rice


我以前曾講過,每次回港都要食至少一次的焗豬排飯 ,可能是童年時代好喜歡食,但又沒有機會常吃的關係吧 !總之,就如回澳門一定食萄國雞飯一樣,管它好不好吃,要去享受一個回憶罷了,何樂而不為 !

當然在這兒也會自煮一餐來懷舊,最重要是囝囡也喜歡哪 !
Whenever I pass by a Hong Kong Cafe here, I will think of this dish. It was one of my favorite dishes from my childhood memory in HK, just like Portuguess chicken rice of Macau. Somehow, I just have to have it once whenever I go back to Hong Kong even now. Unforunately, the quality and the taste is just no longer what it was before, probably because my memory has deteriorated. Nevertheless, I will make this dish for dinner whenever I think about it. Of course it helps tons that my whole family loves it too!
Bon Appetit!

哈哈大笑 Prawns in two styles

Breaded Prawns
Drunken Prawns



兩款任君選擇:西式炸蝦 或 中式醉蝦煲



本人保持中立,兩樣都食,你呢?
What can you do with prawns? Just to be a bit different, I made drunken prawns and it turned out very sweet and fragrant. Of course my kids LOVED the breaded prawns, who wouldn't? Don't think of the calories, that is all!

越南牛肉湯粉 Vietnamese Beef Pho







囡囡一向都好中意越南菜的Beef Pho,早上問她晚餐要食什麼時,本來說"隨便",但我最怕這種答復,就叫她講淸楚点,結果這個湯粉就是我們的晚餐了!

睇下那些配菜,在芽菜旁邊的不是普通用的Basil,是一種香葉叫Polygonum,多數在煮叻沙有用到的,這些葉是我老公種的,他特別採下來配這湯粉,因為囡囡中意嘛!

Yummilicious pho for darling Britney! Look at the plant, it is NOT basil, it is Daun Kaseum, English name is Polygonum. It is one of the strongest spice in SouthEast Asia, normally used in spicy dips and laksa. Daddy Dearest harvested his plant for his darling's dinner, a reward for studying so hard for her A level prelims!
Do pray for her exams which will be on from now to end of November, muack muack!

我的第一個Silicon模 My first silicon mold

What a beautiful castle, or is it Sydney's Opera House



nice and fluffy, fresh out of oven






really out of practice, the last time I made this was under supervision of my sister Alice in LA, I think that was almost 2 years ago



又是大娜姐的心意!造型好靚啊,唔知点解,我總覺得它像castle,一個堡壘,你地話呢?咦,囡囡剛說好似雪梨的Opera house,又係喎.
用咗嚟整綠茶雪芳蛋糕,我已成大半年無整了,好彩老公話好香好好食,佢還破天荒的再安哥兩塊,受寵若驚!
不過第一次脱silicon模,好驚,要練習多几次先!
If I may say so myself, this green tea chiffon turned out really well. Of course the lovely silicon mold brought over from HK by Angfoo is of excellent taste, needless to say. Then again, this recipe from my sister Alice is definitely good. I was personally taught and demo by her when I visited LA two years ago, and that was the last time I tried it too. I normally do sponge cake and not chiffon, nevertheless, this one is a pleasant surprise because CC loves it. Seldom he likes the cakes that I make except for Baked NY cheesecake or SOME of the mousse cake, but this one, he ate 3 pieces in one go. Guess that is good enough incentive for me to make again and again... till he is tired of it, that is...
Presenting Green Tea Chiffon, THANK YOU Angfoo for the lovely mold!

醉倒橫行的晚餐 Dinner is served






螃蟹炆米


不要誤會,我沒有喝醉耶,我是在說我的晚餐哪,是螃蟹炆米粉和枸杞醉雞窝啊!

Have not cooked crab vermicelli for a long time till hubby complains, heee... Well, saw LIVE crabs and of course Daddy dearest refused to leave until I said, OK, let's buy some and cook them for dinner... The drunken chicken soup has been on my mind for couple of weeks since I saw a picture of it... tastes ok, and since I used kampong chicken, it is not fattening!

一日一夜的紅豆沙 Red Bean Soup


我不說你都不會信,這碗紅豆沙用了一晚的時間去soak,其實是好正常,但多數soak過夜的紅豆很易煮到開,之後變沙。。。錯了,一早起身煮兩個鐘頭後,打開一看,水同豆一窩,哎, 真素沒辦法啦,我要用來招待大娜姐和Iris啊,怎麼辦???

好我早起身,還有時間,趕快用明火搞搞搞,煮煮煮。。。另煮西米,沒有放果皮,因為不知Iris可不可以食,煮煮煮,終於可以嘍, 挖哈哈........... !
Sago Red Bean Soup.... dessert for Iris and Angfoo... Would you believe that it took almost 24 hours to get this done? Yes, long story and just take it from me, don't believe that it only needs to soak overnight and it can be done FAST, NO WAY!
