Home cook - 28 Apr 13

It is a beautiful Sunday, and Mr Piggy decided it to be a stay home day. Therefor, we tried out new recipe...!

Tonight dinner will be Emperor Herbal Chicken (帝皇鸡）...! And it's my first try.... just follow recipe, should not be too difficult. For those who are interest, don't mind me sharing...

Step 1

Pour about 400ml of water, bring it to boil and add in the packet of herbs that are already prepared in the pack. For those who like more 枸杞子 (like my hubby does), you can add in more of it, also the red dates (红枣）to bring out more sweetness to the soup base. Boiled for 15min and wait for it to cool.

Step 2

Do a little massage to the chicken, make sure it's totally deforzed. For my case, i had sliced some ginger and rubbed them at the inner wall of the chicken together with some salt to let it set in a bit, so that to remove any  access smell or taste left from the chicken organs. 

 Then rubbed the mixed-seasoning provided by the pack evenly onto the chicken. For those who love a little of the wine taste, add in 1-2 table spoon of 花雕酒 to bring more favors.

Step 3

Stuff all the herbs that we boiled earlier into the stomach of the chicken, including the essence. You may want to fold up the opening using a toothpick.

Step 4

Wrap and tighten the chicken using the pvc sheet provided by the pack and sealed it with the aluminum foil. Lastly, steam the chicken using small fire for 2 hours and we are ready to serve...! 

Overall the chicken taste ok, not as salty like those from outside, perhaps too much water was added when i boiled the herbs, that's why i wrote only 400ml of water instead of 500ml that i used. Then hubby commented that the seasoning rubbed on the outer of the chicken was a little strong, suggest me to reduce the amount next time. Therefore, there is no 100% recipe, fine tuning are required to suit individual taste bud. Haha... just a piece of reminder to myself too...

This is the pack i bought from any common supermart.

Life of a wife....

Neverland 2 - 26 Jan 13

Sunday night's out while Piggy is not in...!!!!!

Someone KO-ed

121212 - Hot Date

Occasion: Katrine's ROM
Location: The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore
Date: 12.12.12

Here comes the last bride of year 2012 (at least for my list of friends)...!

The Dovey Couple

Unique event i ever attended, or should i say is the kind of cocktail chilling kinda dinner ladies will dream of (definitely for my case)?!? Love the ambiance, coupled with lovely live band and of all, the good food and drinks...!!!! Later part of the night, the event was shifted up to the roof, cosy couch to laze around and a swimming pool to smooze the surrounding..! OMG.... I feel romances in the air...!    

Malaysia Lunch

On lazy afternoon, Piggy and i was discussing about Bak Kut Teh, because we saw a tv program about ex-convict open such stalls and giving chances for them to step into the world again. Their stall New Soon Huat, is located at Jalan Kayu.  

After looking at their food, i mentioned that it's very Malaysia style... and....... my suggestion goes like this

"Hey, why not we go in JB for some bak kut teh instead? Jalan Kayu is not very near also, might as well go in eat eat shop shop..?" 

After much persuasion, Piggy agreeds...! Yeah... and there we are...!

Too hungry and i forgot to take a shoot of the food... only manage to have the shop front pic...

After a sumptuous late lunch, we went KSL for some groceries shopping and follow by food again...! 

Wanted to go for car washing, but too bad... it started drizzling again.... 

Here it ends my 1 day short trip to JB...!!! Yeah...!

Mr Piggy, can we do it more often...??? 

Please.......

Love ya

Tik Tok Tik Tok

So many thing to blog... so little time to use...! (Ya... i admit i have poor time management...!)

I still have the following back lots:

- Xmas
- New year party
- no mentioning those minor events...! OMG...!!!!!

Nevertheless, next week i am flying to Thailand... Wohoo...!

But after we come back.... Nightmares...!
CNY is coming = packing + cleaning + ang bao
Follow by annual report...!

oh oh oh..... why am i forever can't squeeze time out...!

Random

DIY my nails the other day.... The cracked nail style was popular for quite some time already, so much wanting to try... thus bought one to test...!

The result you see here is after at least 3-4 coats, then it took like forever to dry...! After it was totally dry, the effect is there...! BUT... there is one big big issue, it became so flaky...!!!! Slight rubbing, small particulars start falling out, plus the blouse i wore that day was kind of knitted type..! Faintz...!

  

Therefore.... it is always true that when appearance looks good doesn't means it's good...!
