Post #72

had quite an ambitious menu tonight... and watching masterchef and cooking at the same time obviously didnt help. so we ended up eating late again. hm...

but but but. the food was nice tonight! i felt a bit bad for not having dinner ready till late again, but looking at hubby's satisfying face, i guess it was worth the wait... kind of... :)

made the smoked salmon and mashed potato dumpling again (as hubby hasnt tried it before), but in flat triangular shapes to save a bit of wrapping time. hehe, not sure why two times i made this dish my sauteed leek still turned out a little burnt, even when the leek was chopped differently =.=

and finally finally, i got to try out Luke Nguyen's prawn and green mango salad!!!! so exciting, thanks to sis for her green mango donation. it was so so nice! love the zestiness and the diff layers of textures - the silky green mango flesh, the fresh mint, the salty dried shrimps, the crunchy peanut and fried red onion, matching perfectly with the fish sauce, lime and chilli dressing - absolutely delicious!!

also baked a piece of salmon marinated with soy, mirin, grated ginger and honey and served on pumpkin mash.

and extra happy to have finally finished the packet of wonton sheets, the leftover pumpkin, the leek, and close to getting rid of the bunch of dill (well, those surviving sprigs anyway...)!
