Daughter’s Friends 7pax Homecooked Lunch on 30Jul2016

daughter invited her friends for home lunch on 30.7.2016. ^^

i organised basically the same menu as what i did for my wife’s friends 2 days before-

  1. mock kurobuta pork ribs
  2. deepfried chicken wings (by my helper)
  3. claypot rice
  4. claypot tanhoon prawns
  5. steamed soon hock
  6. fried sweet peas & baby corn wit prawns (by my helper); &
  7. tiramisu

the marinade was better tasting today after some adjustment.

the texture was fork tender, which was just slightly not my most preferred texture of being tender but still firm with bite. i did 95degC for 6 hrs & left in for another couple hrs in the oven. next time i will do 95degC at 5hrs.

deepfried chicken wings

my helper’s chicken wings i think are the best chicken wings.

for me it is better than the prawn paste chicken wings at (1)hup choon & (2) forture.

helper’s sweet peas & baby corn always good, and she added prawns this time too.

i did this dish for the teban gardens friday breakfast community meal too.

i chatted with daughter’s friends. they all had a good time. one of them cooked a bit & used a sous vide machine, more advanced than me la…i still happy with using oven as proxy…

ru ji kitchen fishball noodles

daughter discovered this ru ji place recently.

ta pao back the other day. i tried just a little. tasted ok.

this morning, daughter suggested early lunch 11am to beat the sunday crowd.

she suggested xinlu fishball noodles at mei chin road food centre as she knows i used to go there.

we later decided to just go holland drive food centre.

the handmade fishballs were tastier & better texture than xin lu’s bouncy fishballs.

& ru ji offers also the teochew fish cake.

noodles was ok, chilli was quite good taste.

i am the type who like a stronger chilli taste.

also comparing the photos, xin lu’s meepok was more qq than ru ji. so i still prefer xin lu.

yap kee wanton noodles

the 2 daughters went to take the yap kee wanton noodles.

i tried the noodles. it was qq, better texture than the ru ji meepok.

the char siew looks off colour & dry.

i commented that red ring wanton noodles also looked anaemic but looked a lot more moist. youngest daughter said she prefers red ring’s.

for me, my favourite still kok kee wanton noodles.

a nice light sunday brunch with 2 daughters.
