Baked chicken in mustard butter !


Haha, got some extra prosciutto ham left over so its a very nice way to finish it by wrapping it around, panfried it with some mustard butter in the chicken, then baked it in the oven hehe and the best way to serve this? with some "probably the best" mash in the world!! hahaha Kelvin knows this cos i taught him how to make it, so its probably not the best in the world already LOL.
here you go, Shunda and kenny was around the night so they had the chance to taste this :)

Pork CHOP in STROGNOFF sauce :)

YO YO!i know , once again, i have been very lazy and didnt update my blog for ages, so what i have here are a salad and a main course that was made when my dad came over the other night hehe

Pork chop was marinated in salt and pepper and panfried and drizzled over with mushroom strognoff sauce, i dunno why but this sauce seems to work quite well with a lot of poultry haha.
If you have no idea wtf a strognoff sauce is, well it involves garlic, dijonese mustard,cream,white wine and of cos some salt and pepper..and yes the mushrooms! i used brown mushrooms, i remember Andy once bought me shitake mushrooms when i asked him to buy some shrooms and i was so pissed cos i dun really eat shitake hahahaha poor andy!



as for the salad, this time i decided to make something i enjoy..as in REALLY enjoy. If you have been reading my blog, you would know that ROCKET leaves and parma ham is like my bread and butter hahaha ( i know it wont happen cos these 2 items are really expensive!!!)
so here we go

Rocket leaves with parma ham in balsamic vingear, honey, dijon and extra virgin oil!! and to make things a little interesting, i added some feta cheese too woot!!!

BANGERS n MASH!!


Thats it man, i had enuff of the stupid powder form of mash potatoes and decided to make my own mash, which i call it.."the best mash in the world" , u cook potatoes, mash them with butter and some sour scream..salt n pepper and some basil ...ooo yeah..tats some real mash man, so , to match that, I decided to make what i was always wanted to eat..bangers and mash!

I got some sausage (swiss cheese and pork, beef, and chicken/mushroom) and grill them with some sourkraut, and of cos i made some onion brown gravy to go with the mash...yum yum

Ding kitchen invited Kenny and Andy over for this dish, :) cheers!

Alaska Salmon steak in bourin cream sauce!

woot! back to back posting !! haha i think Lyn had too much chicken recently that when i offered her a choice of fish or chicken, she took the latter without much thought, so.. the i remember the last time i did a fish dish, it was a snapper fillet..

so this time i decided to go for some Salmon steak in cream boursin sauce, (Boursin is kind of soft cheese with garlic and herb infused) so it taste pretty cook, and yes, those are tiger prawns sauteed and added to the sauce with some rocket leaves and ground oregano for tat extra flavour hehe) and damn....the mash is really dumb cos neither me nor lyn could finish it after eating the salmon and prawn LOL

Enjoy the pic(since u cant enjoy the food hehe)

Roman chicken!

















Arghh been playing too much company of heroes tat i didnt update the blog lol. Alrite..so here come some updates of Ding kitchen!
This is more of a chicken in a pan dish lol, very easy to make, and yes it is cooked in a braised style, (panfried and simmer in wine sauce for a while before it hits the table)

What you see is chicken thigh, in plum tomato and white wine sauce, with some capers as well as olives.(damn! i love olives..hehe) it goes pretty well with potatoes but i think i wont cook so much mash next time as it is rather filling.

Who got the privilege of tasting this? well its GRIMLOQ -yanxian! lol cos he came over for dinner. Hehe, but he did the best BBQ gathering i ever been to by getting someone to do all the grilling LOL..and yes..he called the poor girl his minion .....WTF lolol till next time guys!

The 15min pizza

It always seemed to troublesome to cook some stuff or ANYThing at all when u are hungry at night..so what we end up with are usually cup noodles and stuff haha However its possible to cook a simple but still good tasting pizza in just 15min!! all u need is a oven (DUHZ...)

Alright, i know this is the 2nd time i am talking abt pizza and yes, i still prefer them to be crispy instead of the pizzahut pan pizza thingy so for the base..the closest u can get and very crispy are the..
TORTILLAs!!! here is a pic of wat i used
what u are lookin at is the wild rocket (i know some ppl hate these, but i love it lol, tortilla wraps- u get them easily at supermarkets, buffalo mozzarella (drained and to be tore into portions later, sundried tomote paste and yes...parma ham, i manage to buy them in slices from the deli at the basement of Paragon instead of those tat come with 10 slices in a sealed package. And of cos some extra v olive oil) and after baking in the oven for like 10min ..

u get...
, and the best part is u can actually just roll in and eat it and dun really have to cut cos its very crispy haha. till next time ppl!

things tat i like abt this homemade version is tat it isnt as sweet as wat u normally get outside, although still as sinfullBUT HEY...all desserts are ok! haha so live with it LoL.

Nicely whipped layers of mascarpone cream cheese with sponge fingers soaked in coffee n kaluha(coffee liquer) yeah..just a simple nice serving and its heavenly.
