Hosted two dinners this week!
Wednesday evening Sabrina came over for a simple salmon and mushroom pasta. We went to Tesco together for the ingredients and I gave her a mini tour of Canada Water heehee. Even though this dish is as simple as can be, we only started dinner at 8ish (the cook is still not quite up to standard). This is the first time Sabrina's come over (and probably the last to my current place).. thinking back, it was quite funny coz I was supposed to cook (well I did but..) but then I was showing her what Pris gave me over christmas "this german wonton looking thing" (forgot the German name again) and told her I didn't know how to cook it. (Yes Pris, it has been lying in my freezer since Christmas!) Hence, my guest kindly cooked it for me so it became my lunch for the next day. It was really quite nice! Swabian food. :)
Friday night dinner we welcomed back Alicia and JL from Singapore (due to the high heat back home, they now say that London is very cold, to which Cynthia and I went "huh cold??"), and also to celebrate Alicia's birthday in advance. Next weekend is the actual day but the couple's going to Bruges to celebrate.. omg omg I love Bruges.. chocolate-land! Remember my post last year when we went to Bruges? Ok anyway, back to topic of dinner. As Cynthia's still having some sort of tummy indigestion, I voted for a teochew porridge feast! So chef for the night is again, yours truly since she is a true blue teochew gal. Simple fare actually.. cooked braised meat with egg (the secret is... we have the ready made braising sauce haha), chai po omelette, fried luncheon meat, capsicum, onion & mushrooms and cold tofu with beans and my ah ma's black olive (authentic teochew, home made recipe). All these = comfort food. Best.
Birthday cupcakes that look too good to be eaten
Happy Birthday to Alibaba!
