Happy Anniversary!

It's our 6th of partok, 4th year of rom anniversary

Time passes so fast... :)
And we have our lovely and blessed home too.

Now pending the additional of tiny feet...

Went for ramen, didn't really celebrate as was quite packed for this weekend.
What matter most is the company of each other. ;)

Dinner at men-ichi









We can really eat right? :p

Then to end off on a sweet note!



God bless our love and marriage as sweet as always, bondings grow stronger with each day, and all that all that we touch and focus on, prosper!
Yes, let's work hard for our uncommon freedom, my dear! :)
Amen!


God bless,
Jasmine

Home-made kaya

Frankly, didn't know it can be so easy.
As I've heard how tedious it is, standing and stirring for 3-4hours non-stop!

But managed to make it in less than a hour.
And it did taste like kaya as my colleague remarked. Haa..

Stirring is still required of course, but not as intense as 3-4hours. :)



In progress



Final product!
Still feel watery but after a night in fridge, texture is just nice!



Kaya bread, anyone? :)


God bless,
Jasmine

Lazy Sunday

Ya, it's cooking time during the weekend.

Somehow I can't stop n sit n laze, thus prepare these items on a sun evening.

- Muah Chee
- alphabet soup
- smoothies

For muah Chee, easy to make.
But need control the 火候.




And the alphabet soup, it's a 童年食物.
Sweet de, not savory




Regarding smoothies, not really successful thou.
Wrong fruits I guess.

Now I know, oranges not for smoothies, too much fibers, :p

God bless,
Jasmine

Cooking a feast- sharing night

An apt title indeed! :)

With the help of my friends, whom pop over my house to teach me how to cook various dishes, plus the fun of cooking together in my small kitchen! :)

The dishes prepared are:
- kong bao bao
- chawamushi
- "creamy" pasta

For dish one, kong ba, it's quite easy to manage.
Guess if cook awhile more, will be much tender.
Take Approximately 1hr, (30min for each side), dun really need to attend to it, the beauty of it.







Next, chawamushi.
Using my pressure cooker, just require 6min!
And it's delicious. Eben dear loves it!







And the main dish, pasta!
Why "creamy" in inverted?
Coz it taste creamy yet no cream was used! ;)
This dish is taught by my friend, whim in turn taught by her Italian friend.
Thus this dish is really authentic. :)
The pressure cooker is used to cook the pasta in just 1 min, and it's done!

Of coz, the ingredients and the sauce require simmering (fast de, thus small fire)







Really delicious, love this.
Will be attempting this dish soon. :)

Overall was a fun night of sharing, plus lots of laughter and eating.

More to come! :)

God bless,
Jasmine
