Post #155

i've got these beautifully thick pork chop sitting in the freezer for long enough. only reason why they've been abandoned in there is because they're not the easiest piece of meat to play with. and they are so big and thick... it kinda puts you off. but once you're gutsy enough to take them out of the freezer, you dont really have a choice, but to deal with it... hehe.

and with some leftover dishes that need to be also consumed tonight, i couldnt just pan fry the big pieces of meat with a side salad and call it dinner. so i decided to chop them up into smaller pieces and asian-ise it!


-lemon pork chop-

i've never tried this sauce on pork chop... it has always been a friend of chicken wings, but it worked wonderfully well with pork chop too :) and i must say, producing less fat in the sauce as well!! i was a bit worried that the pork will turn out tough as they're so thick! but afterall, they ARE beautiful pieces of meat, they were still tender and juicy.

will definitely make again.

Post #154

its been a few months since my last post, and in all seriousness it was due to diff things that happened - theres good news and also bad news, but be it good or bad, i feel that we've grown to be that little stronger.

and life goes on. so does the cooking.

i'm not sure why, but chinese food seems to be dominating our home dinner menu lately. thing with chinese food is, they are so easy and quick to whack up, fantastical!!


-hoi tong tofu *海棠豆腐*-

my take of this dish which can be found in menus of all chinese restaurants!! steamed egg white custard topped with a bed of diced tofu, prawn, crab sticks and sugar snap peas in a light xo glossy thick sauce. feels like having 2 dishes combined in one, but absolutely delish~!

see the 2 layers! tho it was kinda like topping overload...
