Those who knows me will know that I am hopeless when it comes to cooking. Having grown up with a maid, then married and moved in with in-laws who had a maid.....get the idea.....
There was 2 years in Australia that I survived mainly through instant noodles and bad, bad cooking. I remember eating breakfast cereal for every meal at one point.
So, when dearest hubby said we'd be living in London one week after I had Josiah. I was too numb to realise how much improvement I needed in terms of my pathetic cooking skills. I had to feed both my boys and myself. So started a painful but exciting journey of culinary delights (or not so delightful! Ask hubby for more honest opinion)
I may not be the best cook around and my menu is not very extensive but for someone who started out barely able to cook rice WITH a rice cooker. Here are some of my accomplishments.
Hee....hee....
Come Dine with Me
:)
Found out early on that roasting chicken was a fail-safe option so we had lots of that in the early days, badly fried veggies were also on my menu most of the time :(
Yikes, check out my version of "ngau hor" or beef hor fun noodles! Looks terrible but hubby says it tastes good. Sigh. Such love.... :)
But don't worry, it got better and with this ensemble of homemade 'char siew', mixed veggie stir fry and omelette.....we started having some actual guests come for dinner. Woo.....
Close up shot of my 'char siew'.... I use a scissors to cut it just like some hawkers in Msia!
Simple pork/beef steak with potato salad and veggies
Home made bacon mushroom carbonara pasta. The sauce is made from scratch from single cream, cheese and lots of bacon! Yummy and unhealthy so this dish has been banned from our menu lately.
Simple hor fun with chicken and yummy 'hock chew' balls (from Msia of course!)
......to be continued.....
