 My fave pan  Monday, March 17, 2014
It's almost a year since I moved in.
I not much of chef, but I sure have whipped up enough dish to comment on my pots..
So anw, i kinda got all my pots n pan for free.. Except this Tiny tefal pan. It's really tiny. I m not outracising my pan, but this tiny tefal pan cost $16!
Its not alot of money for a non stick pan, but hey, it's really tiny.. And it doesn't even have that tefal heat spot that tell u if the heat is nice or not... And considering my happycall pan, amway stainless steel pots all came free... spending 16 bucks on this tiny is too much...
But today, I reaffirm myself it's money well spent... It gives perfectly shaped sunny side up every time.
Plus if u like pancake, this makes perfect pancakes too!
So, moral of the story? No moral .. Jus that I like my pot =)

Fake Eggs? Thursday, March 19, 2009
jus had some softboiled eggs yesterday. Cook at home de.
Lemme teach hw to cook the perfect softboiled eggs.
1) Take eggs of out fridge and soak in tap/lukewarm water for 20-30min to bring it to room temperature. (i use lukewarm water so it is faster)
2) take a container with cover (ideally metal), and pour in hot water & put in egg
3) wait for 8min or 10min, depending on the size of the eggs.
Alright, there u haf it.
The impt ting to get the perfect softboiled eggs is to haf it at room temperature before cooking it.
*********************
Ok, about the fake eggs? tis series 0f eggs rite, always haf 2 yolks. Its either my dad too rich go and buy all the eggs tt are meant to have double yolk, or tis chicken farm fed dunno wad ting to the chicken so ALL the chicken including normal ones can haf double yolks, or the chicken are genetically modified to gie double yolks, or the egg is fake.
COS all 10 of the eggs, ard 8-9 of them are double yolk. Wad are the chances of tis happening by chance?
Very minimal.
So I m bit worried. Is it like.... safe to eat???
*heck*, anyway, I finished them all up... :DLabels: cook

auntie mEow:house-cat II Friday, August 08, 2008
Following the last time I cooked some time back... I cooked again. About the same dishes again.
Right, I am...consistent...But hmm..I din really consider other's feeling...really..abit bad hor.. :(
But hey, the food is nice.
Again, I cook the same soup, the same vinegar pork trotters. But this time, its more successful.
Againm auntie mEow went marketing. Darn vege seller conned me by selling me non-brocolli. Dam pissed liaoz. I already took brocolli, why go and change and make a fool outta myself.
Food is nice. :) And we all sat together and ate. Me, 龟龟,sis, wt, yx.
For yx's sake, we had to close the glass door cos she's scared of cats...and I happen to have 3 cats racing around the hse..
I took like, since 11plus go market til busy until 3plus. Wad Am I busy with?
Well, see all the food I prepare take alot of time.
Soup: Needa dig out the seeds.
Brocolli: Needa peel the stem
waterchestnut: needa peel.
Look at the amount of things I peeled...at the end of it, auntie mEow really became an auntie, with messy hair and wrinkled hand...(from all the water, washing etc).
Also, I further went to decorate the food by cutting my carrots into tis:
Fun, but nt that easy.
For who are interested, this is wad the melon I m crazy about looks like. :)
And the dishes..Nice!
I was mopping the floor after rushing out my dishes..and guess what I saw?
 The few fave choc I love. Andes choc...I missed it..but sadly,I cant eat it...its not mine :( Wld love to taste this sweet minty taste in my mouth again... :( Miss it... :(
Of cos, what is coming to mEow's hse without looking at her cats?
Pig have nt been having much milk lately cos she refused to drink much on her on. She drink until she is not hungry, but not full yet, den run off. And Mew & Mao will help her finish. Then when she come back later when abit hungry, no more.
So since my frenz around, lucky for Pig, she get to be bottle-fed cos it looks so cute to see a suckling Pig~ :)
Pig have been busy lately:
Computer cat!
Mew have been busy too:
 I m really glad my cats are getting along fine. No wonder parents are always most happy when siblings got along with each other. The happiness, is beyond descriptions... Labels: cat, cook, food

auntie mEow Thursday, July 17, 2008
mEow is an official auntie today.
auntie mEow: the housewifehouse-Cat.
Morning 10am wake up,unhappily..cos gt bad dreams again. darn, shld have woke earlier, den mayb wont dream those dreams..
I rushed to market and buy the ingredients for today. Yep, today, really gonna cook.
So,auntie picture no.1
 Ever wonder why auntie like to put their plastic bag likdat? Cos, actually, its the most, easiest. Cos, if u hold on the hand, the plastic will cut into the hand, so, carrying it likdat, most auntie, but most convenient.
Bought an apron. So i dun dirty my cute pink shirt. :D
Auntie pic no. 2 & 3
  doing the Karen-thing the auntie way. *ahem* why is my apron... :x erh..1buck only.. wad u expect? Today's menu
1) 猪脚醋
2) 麻油鸡
3) 蚝油炒小小白菜
4) 魚翅瓜汤
huh?wad 瓜wad小小白菜 ? well, its mini-小白菜 thus the name.
猪脚醋
First time cooking by myself . Previously, seen his mum cook before, tis time round, mEow the auntie is gonna try it all by herself. :D
Looks decent bah..for . Took a few hrs to cook it. Cos needa stew for a long time. The sauce was ok..but the failure part..the meat... the pork seller chop into too small..upon boiling with the super almighty- AMC pot, all the meat...dissolved..and instead of 猪脚醋，I'm left with 肉丁 when everyone's ready to eat...so, quickly remedy by adding in some chicken feet, my mum's fave in and cook again..taste quite good too... 鸡脚醋。。。ok. lol bah~
 Still...I m pleased that my mum commented that the taste is better than the 猪脚醋sold downstairs. :D So, I rate it, Success! The rest of the dish, quite easy..nothin to say much.
Let me intro my fave knife:
 mini chopper. Cute rite? :D But its very sharp ok! The vege:
 the chicken:  The 魚翅瓜汤 Wads this? Why such a weird name? Well, u see, when its cooked, it looks like this:  Suposedly, its to look lik 鱼翅。 Thus, the name.
Why I lik this soup?
 Wads this? This is the seeds. Of the melon. The close to 100 seeds that one must remove from the melon before it is cooked. Cos the seed is nt to be eaten.
Thus, as u can see, the massive amt of work involved in cooking, compared to the rest of the soup. So, this is rarely cooked outside. Rather, I've never found a place selling this. And I bet some 90% of u nv hear of it before,much less, eaten tis before... :D
No one wld spend such effort jus to sell the soup at 4bucks? So, tis is a dish that is homecooked then,get to eat it.
I love it. Cos first time I eat is at my grandma hse. It tasted heavenly. I wanted to drink again, bt my mum dun like the hassle. So, if I wanna eat, I must cook it myself. And so, whenever I get to cook soup, this, is on the first of my list. It's one of my 拿手好菜。And, no salt no msg!
Actually, all my dishes no use salt n msg at all..see so healthy...=)
So, while auntie mEow is busy cooking, wad are my kitties up to?
Mewmew is busy in the kitchen as my assistant..
  * i will clear the food yep!*
   Aint my cats v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v cute? :D Thats all from auntie mEow. ***** Preparation time: 2hrs Cooking time: 1hr Cost of ingredients: ard $30-$40 Cost Value of homecooked food: Priceless ***** See, i've fulfilled more of my resolution. happy mEow day.
