Food for dinner!!

Today, we tried a few new dishes for dinner...haha..so yummy...it was a change...and it was my first time trying out those dishes as well so I was quite apprehensive at how things will turn out to be.

I would really recommend the blogger rasamalaysia as that website is where I got most of my recipes from.

Got some food pics to entice u. :p

A french beans dish of mine.

My spinach dish that I have been cooking for quite a while. :p

Tofu and ground pork.

Sweet and sour pork aka "gu lou yok"

My steam fish dish but I think I was trying not to waste any coriander, therefore resulting in a whole lot of greens on my fish..haha

This is a pic of the honey and tumeric chicken without editing



Honey and tumeric chicken...really yummy...and so shiny looking...

This was a failure dish I made. Though it tasted quite good...the presentation was terrible

Something unrelated to my cookings...Yao went to manchester again..and to our delight, he brought back krispy kreme!!! YUM!! This as an exchange for me cutting his hair. :P Isn't it wonderful? Offering my cutting hair services and getting a whole lot of donuts in return!

Krispy Kreme!!

Jean, me, esther,and janice had a feast after being horrendously deprived for a week. Esther at Bradford and Janice at airedale every weekdays. I will also be in Bradford this week onwards. *sobs*

Stuffed chicken legs wrapped with bacon

Imitation of Gordon's recipe on youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y_tcvvStxAs&feature=related




Made a few mistakes here and there. Had too few pistachios in the centre and I skipped masala wine cuz thought it wasn't necessary. Other than that, sherry vinegar was given by a friend so that wasn't too bad.

Maybe because I skipped masala wine,that's why my sauce isn't as brown as Gordon's. Hmmm...

Overall, it was delicious and fun to make once a blue moon!!

Roast chicken

Roast chicken

Ingredients:

1) 8 x Chicken thighs

2) 1 lemon

3) 1 bouquet garni

4) 4 tablespoons olive oil

5) salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Just mix the chicken in all the ingredients above. Then spread evenly on a pyrex bowl or oven dish, making sure that none of the chicken are overlapping each other.

Preheat oven to Gas mark 7.

Roast for around 1 hour or when the chicken is cooked/tender in your opinion and have a nice colour.

Sorry for the vague description as I always modify recipes and ended up not being able to describe very well.

As some maybe wondering what is the orange stuff on the plate, it is sweet potato mash. I like sweet potato mash. heehee...the rest are salad. Welcome to the british world of salads!
