Greetings: Happy Birthday, Abel!

Singapore Adventure: Saturday Breakfast

I woke up today feeling a lot better. The two days of resting did me good. And so, I was able to prepare a nice breakfast for us.

Garlic rice is a regular at the Cookie's dining table. And as I have recently learned of the wonders of Sesame Seed Oil, there's something extra to my garlic rice now. ;) I just need to learn to do a really nice sauteéd veggie dish to put my newly found kitchen condiment to full use.

I and my Cookie fell in love with the Tulip cocktails sausages. We just pop them into the microwave straight from the can.

My Cookie wanted some eggs for breakfast. I prepared him an Onion and Tomato Omelette. It has been a while since I last prepared something like this. Fortunately, it turned out quite pretty with the nice blend of colors from the ingredients.

And that was breakfast, which we had at around 11:30 this morning. The same time I took another tablet of Biogesic just to make sure that the fever doesn't return anymore.

As this post is being written, the Cookies are preparing to leave the house to grab some lunch. It has been decided that we'll be having some Chicken Rice at the Loy Kee Best Chicken Rice restaurant just down the street.

More post later on our Chicken Rice hunt when we get back. ;)

Singapore Adventure: Cooking Frenzy

What can I say... I am bored.. And so this is how I chose to spend my day... Cooking.

MY SPECIAL MEATBALLS

This is a regular in the Cookie's dinner menu. And each time, I try to put in something extra into my meatballs with the hopes of improving its taste.

This time, I added a little butter and tomato paste. It did bring something nice to this version of my meatballs.

Hopefully, my Cookie loves it. :)

ADOBONG KANGKONG

It's another of my first attempts. And it is a hit, at least for me.

My Cookie has not come home from work yet, but I left him some so he can have a say if we can put this dish in the "regulars".

Thanks to my Mama for the recipe. But I put a little of my own in this recipe, too. I used sesame seed oil to saute the kangkong stalks and leaves. ;)

This blog is shaping up to becoming a cooking blog! Hahaha...

Singapore Adventure: Shiny and (almost) New

I woke up feeling not so well today. And so, I skipped work and went to see the doctor at the clinic nearby. And sure enough, I was running a fever. My temperature was at 37.6°C.

Well, there really is nothing much to do at home. I am watching Robin Williams' Man of the Year just to pass the time.

And a little while back, I tended to my few silver accessories. They seem to have tarnished already. Good thing I brought a small bottle of "silver dip" from home. So now, they are shiny and almost new again. :)

Obviously, I am fond of heart shapes. Thus, even the few pieces of accessories I have should be this shape. Sweet. ^_^

Singapore Adventure: Of Firsts and Regulars

MENUDILLO

This is my first attempt to cook Menudillo. I have always had an idea of how it is prepared, but only summed up the strength to cook it tonight for dinner.

I got a little overzealous with the potatoes, but in my honest opinion backed by my Cookie's happy tastebuds, I did a pretty good job with this dish. :)

This time, my menudillo has ground pork, diced potatoes, carrots, red and green bell peppers. For my next attempt for this dish, I am thinking of putting in some quail eggs and green peas.

CHIX DRUMETTE BARBECUE

I have prepared this dish several times for my friends here in SG. But I think I have only cooked it a few times for my Cookie. And since he says it's his favorite, I may consider this to be a regular in the Cookie's dinner menu. :)

When my Cookie finally gets me my oven, then I can experiment on where else I can use my special barbecue marinade on. Hehehe...

And oh, did I mention it goes perfectly with my special vinegar dipping sauce. ;)
