Cereal Prawns

There was a packet of freshwater prawns sitting in the fridge for over a month now. We caught them during one of our prawning sessions at Bishan. Decided to finally cook them since I found a packet of Cereal Prawn mix... Tasty but a little more on the salty side... This is actually quite unhealthy. The recipe required quite a bit of butter and 5 egg yolks but I decided to use 4. What difference does 1 make?  Anyway, now I have 4 egg whites sitting in the fridge... Still haven't decided what I'm going to do with them...

My Wilton Cake Decorating Tool Box

Actually invested this tool box last year as I got into cake decorating. Was thinking of signing up for a Wilton Cake decorating class but spent the $ on investing on the tools instead. Jerome has his toolbox for fishing and I've got my own toolbox too!

The box came with some basic tips and food colouring... 

More room for expansion...

I need to practice more on my own...

Century Egg- Pi Dan

A century egg, a hundred-yr-old egg? A preserved egg, a mysterious egg...
Usually eaten with some preserved ginger slices, in congee or as an ingredient for some Chinese dishes (I used it for Spinach soup)
Have you heard of it being preserved by horses' urine?
Anyway, decided to go do some research on the net how it's really being preserved.

Wikipedia's entry about century egg...
The traditional method takes 3 years for the egg to be ready for consumption!
The modern method takes a few weeks.
About the eggs being preserved in horses' urine, thankfully that's only a myth :)
Nevertheless, it's best not to take them often...

This site has some nice pictures of the century egg :)

Party Cupcakes

A friend in school wanted to order a cake for 20 pax for the children in her programme. I suggested cupcakes instead. Easier to eat and I've always wanted to try decorating cupcakes. I took a lot of trouble to prepare the order now that I have the time to spare. I went to B-I-Y store at Bukit Timah to buy some cupcake trays and a Wilton 1M decorating tip just to make the big buttercream swirls on the cupcakes.

I probably spend more money on the cardboard box and cupcake trays than the ingredients for the cupcakes. $11 for 4 plastic cupcake trays... That's expensive plastic! Was hopeful to get the trays back so that I can use them again... Jerome said I'm a lousy business woman if I'm thinking of earning some money here. Definitely not worth the time and effort. But I told him it's really for fun!

Anyway, I had 6 cupcakes left and we just had some for tea earlier on :) Yummy cake, but honestly that's a lot of buttercream... It would be great to use whipped fresh cream instead but I just wonder if it could have survived the transportation.

Pastel pink, super sweet ...

Teriyaki Chicken Bento again

When I don't have much time to prepare food, this is what I prepared for lunch.
Basically, just have to marinate the chicken well and put them into the oven to bake.
A quick and tasty meal. Check recipe for the marinade here.

Woh Hup Chicken Curry Premix

Bought a packet of Woh Hup instant chicken curry mix to give it a try. So far I've always used Prima Premix, but it's actually quite expensive , over $6. This Woh Hup Instant Curry is last than $2 as there is a promotion going on. See... I'm becoming an auntie...

Just add a cup of coconut milk/ evaporated milk and a cup of water, chicken and potatoes and an instant transformation to a pot of hot & spicy chicken curry!

This version of the chicken curry is more savory than the Prima Premix. Prima is kind of sweet. Well, I think I still prefer the Prima's version. Anyway we still enjoyed the curry :)
In the morning, I pan-fried some prata to dip in the curry. In the afternoon, we had fried bee hoon that also went well with the curry.

Pineapple Fried Rice & Thai Green Curry

Just prepared pineapple fried rice & Thai Green Chicken Curry for dinner. Had wanted to take a few more better pictures of them but Jerome can't wait to start eating... It is not the first time I had cooked this combination for dinner but it was a long time ago. He said he missed my cooking...

Had wanted to sprinkle some pork floss over but Jerome likes the original flavour.

Opps! The sausages are a little charred...

Thai Green Chicken Curry. 

Should have added some green peas but realized that they have expired :P

The curry mix that I used... 

Just add evaporated milk, chicken and mushrooms...
