#1 flamed squid on cauliflower puree
#2 pan seared scallop on pumpkin puree
#3 bouillabaise – seafood stew
#4 prawn spaghetti in prawn bisque sauce
#5 squidink linguine with squid
today mother’s day, 10.5.2020. 🙂
I made 5-course home dinner for 5pax=wife, me, daughter, aunty bes & son working back 8.30pm so i get food ready when he back..
missing eldest daughter SM & JH they couldn’t join us during covid.
every dish was excellent..wife & children loved every dish…
bouillabaisse & squidink were the best dishes this evening, especially delicious…
bouillabaisse soup was very tasty & smooth…definitely better than burlamacco & most seafood or fish stew we had taken outside..fish, prawn, squid were just the right texture, fresh sweet & tasty..
squidink was the best i made..the very flavourful chalky powdery texture & al dente pasta..simply excellent! this though many good restaurants can do the same la..so even best still cannot say better than outside..
prawn pasta was excellent too but squidink was better..
the cauliflower puree and pumpkin puree were good today better than my first try on valentines day…very good standard now…
will post the recipes later.

red fermented beancurd deepfried chicken wings
this evening i made red fermented beancurd deepfried chicken wings on 6.5.2020.
my very first time. and it was excellent! simply delicious! ^^
wife and children all loved it, and wife asked me to cook this dish again on 9.5.2020. 🙂
very nice fermented beancurd flavour and moist juicy succulent wings. perfecto!
i don’t cook deepfried chicken wings cos aunty bes makes super prawn paste chicken wings.
this time though i was inspired by jessie who used red fermented beancurd 南乳for another dish….
my repeat red fermented brancurd chicken wings – 9.5.2020
i marinated the chicken wings in fridge overnight, and dust the chicken wings with some flour before deepfry.

ayam masak merah
sausage claypot rice
made home dinner this evening on 3.5.2020.^^
during this covid circuit breaker period, i cooked one family dinner during my helper’s rest day and one dinner mid-week..took the opportunity to try out some dishes when i can…
ayam masak merah was the highlight this evening. it was my first time trying it, and i made my own chilli rempah.
it turned out to be really delicious and wife and children all liked it. this style (preparation) not really my preferred..
i like the indonesian nasi padang curries with coconut milk…anyhow this was good, very tasty dish..will put up the recipe shortly.
sausage claypot rice was very good as usual, very “pang” fragrant, tasty and perfect moist individual grain texture.
steamed egg was good, basically the economy rice stall kind.
lady fingers not so good, as i this time i had to buy ready packet ones & couldn’t get to pick the lady fingers so 1/3 or 1/2 were a bit stiffer, less ripe even though i knew that and cooked a little longer, but otherwise good sambal vegetables dish.

crabmeat pasta
this evening i assigned food taster, so just wait and eat do nothing lol! ^^
our helper aunty bes, made 4 dishes-
chicken wings, my wife bought the mid-wings and calamari were all excellent.
crabmeat pasta deserves special mention.
this a dish “created” by my son, and perfected by all = son, wife and aunty bes. so there is no need for me to learn how to make this. lol! 🙂
& this evening’s crabmeat pasta was excellent too, as always, everytime i tried.
she used good quality canned crabmeat, fresh tomatoes and good tomato paste, and cream…and pasta was al dente..i think all of us made very good al dente pasta..
excellent home dinner during CCB = covid circuit breaker…
