Busy in the kitchen

For the first time in my life, I prepared food for celebration today. Not all, of course, but it still took up half my morning. We invited some friends over, and being Chinese New Year, we cannot go without fortune cookies can we? This, I buy :)




Guess what I am making?






Tadaaaa!! Not bad for a first attempt, ahem.




And my signature dish Tomyam Vermicelli.




Remember this? Here's the outcome. Not bad eh? Silly me thought everything was in there, really pre-packed, but to my horror, I only recently found out that I need to shred carrots and radish, and get some sea blubber (hoi jit) and salmon. Hahahaa... and I was wondering how on earth can they keep the salmon fresh in that pack for so long!



Tasted not bad at all. Verdict? Highly recommended. It is still cold today, and has been like this since first day of CNY. Feels a little like winter, but not as cold. Great for sleeping in.

And lastly, here something with red from us. Neehh! Not angpau! You give me then 'char mm dor'! Muuaaahhhaahhaha!!



KUNG HEI SUN LIN FAI LOK!!
