Chicken Legs

A little nostalgia for barbacues of my childhood.










The chicken is marinated with garlic, ginger, chili, scallion, parsley, sugar, salt, soy sauce, Shaoxing liquor, Rose Liquor, and sesame oil.
I remembered why I love barbacuing when I was little.

Prawn Season

This is the season for local spotted prawns. Two months a year, that is all. I steamed about a pound and have a simple dip of soy sauce and my home grown three chili pepper oil. They tasted so good, I wanted to go and buy more immediately!

Biscotti

My first attempt, tasted great with coffee.

Recipe:
Beat three eggs with 3/4 cup of sugar, shift together two cups of flour, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of baking power, mix everything together, add a hand full each of pecans and raisins, form into 3x9 in rectangle, bake at 350F for 20 minutes, cool for 10 minutes, cut and bake again at 275F for 40 minutes.

I will bake it less next time to see if it will be softer and if I will like it.

Mushroom Omelette

They had a little sale on white mushroom at my local store so I made omelette with parsley. I think it looks pretty good.

One Pan Meal

I was tired this evening so I just put everything into one pan. Turned out very good.

Mediterranean Korean

Italian style roast pork, pita bread, Spanish wine, kimchee and hot korean bean paste, came together really well.

Roast Pork

Funny looking slices.

Ham Fried Rice

I dare say I make good fried rice.

Hainan Chicken

Poach the chicken and get soup and rice too, cook one get two free! Good deal!

Seafood Grill

Use more charcoal, much better.

Bought Me A Little Grill

And I learnt I need to put in more charcoal!

They Pop

This is the first time I try my hands on popovers. Slightly darker than I wanted. Good eating still.

Chicken Curry Chinese Style

Haven't made this kind of curry for a long while.

Fish Ball with Rice Noodle

More traditional way of eating the fish balls.

Fish Ball Pita

I was frying some fish balls and thought they look a little like falafels, so...














I made a pita sandwich and it tasted good.

Bucatini with Halibut and SpicyTomato Sauce

I have some left over grilled halibut and canned tomato. Plus, bucatini is great fun to eat.

Halibut and Rice

New fish, old rice.

Paella

Well, sort of.

Simple Fried Fish

My neighbour was saying how sad it is that he can no long eat fried fish this afternoon. For some reason, when dinner time comes, I suddenly really want to fry some fish...

Spaghetti and Pork Scallopini

Haven't had any old fashion Italian food for a while.

Rice Noodles in Broth with Roasted Duck Breast

I just love leftovers

Realized I still had a Duck in the Freezer

And gave it a good tanning

Next Day

And then I 'grilled' the other half.

They Have Red Ocean Perch on Sale

So I cut it apart
















...and steamed half of it.
