Come Dine with Me

I realised that I hosted dinner at my place almost every night last week!

Tuesday Sabrina came over which I've mentioned below.

Wednesday Sarah came over for our bible study discussion and I cooked THE salmon pasta again (yummy as usual). No pictures needed, I think everyone knows this infamous dish by now haha (Col even emailed me asking for the recipe! =P)

Thursday Yeelin cooked pesto pasta with grilled sausages and homemade mozzarella cheese salad as a side dish and brought over to my place. Very nice.

We went to Tesco after dinner and couldn't resist a french apple tart with vanilla ice cream. Sweet.



Friday was the big project of the week coz I invited quite a few friends over for my (belated?!) housewarming BBQ! Inspired by the recent very successful BBBQ, I decided to do it again but alas weather was not good but we decided not to let it affect our mood (it was kind of a replay of the horrifying BBQ in the rain in Lake District last year actually but of coz wasn't as bad as that one. That was a winner!).
Overall a very fun night, will blog about it later when I lay hands on the pictures from WT's camera.

sigh, I think my camera is dying on me after serving me faithfully for abt 1.5years. I need a new one soon! see the pictures now are so pixelated/ speckled I don't know what happened.. I have cleaned the lens many times which used to work but not anymore... :(

Anyway with 6 guests for the BBQ, I bought quite a lot of meat and marinated them the night prior.. didn't expect everyone to eat so little so now I have quite a few pieces of pork chops left! We BBQ'ed all the chicken first so everyone finished them.. aiya should have BBQ'ed both chicken and pork at the same time so I won't end up with just the pork now. So.... no choice cannot waste food so I had them for dinner with some fresh salad...


AND this is what I'll be having for lunch tmr too.. another 2 pcs of grilled pork chops with the same salad. omg porky oink oink.. so much pork these few days!! Luckily they taste good, if not..... I think I am gonna stay away from porky for some time after this!

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
