made & delivered dinner for my brother family on 17.11.2020.^^

1. belly pork fried rice
2. korean spicy chicken
3. hokkaido scallops with broccoli

the Korean spicy chicken, I just marinate 600g boneless chicken thighs with 1tbsp oysters sauce, 1tsp sesame oil and 2tbsp gochujang. set aside for 1 hr. browned 3 cloves chopped garlic in 1 tbsp oil, add chicken and fried for 6mins. add 60ml chicken stock and reduce. total 10mins.

for belly pork fried rice, boil 400g belly pork in chicken stock for 1hr 15mins. then place belly pork in cold water, so that it is easy to cut into rectangular sliced. add chopped garlic and fry in wok cooked rice (from 1.5 cups), push to one side then cracked 3 eggs on hot oil and let the eggs formed, then spread over the fried rice. add also crispy prawn chilli. this a perfect dish of fried rice with good woke.

scallops dish the usual, fry broccoli with chopped garlic, add scallops and fry.

Jessie brought excellent jelly dessert. I love this dessert not too sweet and very refreshing.

WT commented the mean is song fish head was excellent, the meensi sauce quite perfect.

wine chicken also very tasty even with frozen chicken thighs.

sambal ribs was ok but a substitute… need to get the woh hup assam sauce to make my really nice assam ribs..

回锅肉 was ok. texture was greta and malt sauce flavourful nd not spicy.

& the superior stock spinach with 3 eggs was quite wonderful.

we had a great time, good food and company.

made dinner for PT parents on 20.11.2020.^^

made teochew home cooked dishes-

1. pork trotter jelly 猪脚冻
2. teochew braised 1/2 duck潮州+4 braised eggs
3. teochew braised hock 卤元蹄
4. teochew braised fishmaw, dry mushrooms, broccoli
5. teochew steamed pomfret6 stirfried prawns with baby chinese cabbage

PT bought tiramisu.

her parents don’t eat so much.

my braised duck and trotters always good.

pig trotter jelly had the right colour and gelatinous texture, and the taste was good.

I don’t do pomfret much. I think the sauce a bit on the low side.

first time I tried the fishmaw broccoli dish. it was pretty good. wife thought the sauce not enough and not taste enough. I basically use the sauce from braising pork trotters. a bit not enough. so couple hit & miss.
