chinese wine braised chicken 黄焖鸡 + celery with salted fish
a good friend came for lunch today on 22.12.2016. ^^
everything was quite ad hoc.
he whatsapped at 10am whether he can join any lunch appointment today, so i said – just drop by, do you want fish, chicken or bkt?
i was doing a 6pax dinner this evening for wife’s friends. this friend quite busy, many a times we had RI friends lunches he couldn’t make it so since he could today, just do lor…
i took out 1/2 chicken from freezer at 10.10am. not enuf time to defrost fully then debone plus marinade & set aside, so i debone the partially defrosted 1/2 chicken & left the drumstick & wingstick not deboned.
costa rican coffee
friend brought me packet of costa rican coffee. this living with a suitcase guy just came back from there.
i did thechinese wine braised chicken 黄焖鸡 same way as i did for teban gardens on 9.12.2016.
that was 2 chicken. this was 1/2. same principles apply-
- corn flour to make it smooth
- not overcooked to make chicken tender, &
- very tasty marinade to make chicken tasty.
result = very tasty chicken & great wine flavours
celery with salted fish
the celery with salted fish was pretty good, though not as good as what my sis made & what i made other times. still great!
2pax lunch was simple not much effort.
we had a great chat afterwards, sharing about parents, family & friends. should do more of this.
