OK Sandwich & Toast @Simply Bread Cluny Court on 10Aug2020

i had piccolo latte..good or rather ok but tiong ho better obviously…didn’t need to eat..for young people and not my kind of food.

  1. gordon ramsay crackling belly pork
  2. chicken teriyaki

everyone commented veracruz snapper really nice & tasty

seafood squidink pasta a feast to the eyes and very tasty

vongole linguine lighter in taste by comparison still quite nice taken alone..need more stock & reduced more to be more flavourful.

  1. meen si (lime taujeon) steamed song fish head 松鱼头
  2. salted egg bittergourd
  3. 干炒牛河 fried beef horfun
  4. 滑蛋海鲜河粉 seafood horfun with egg & gravy

first time experiment cooking hor fun & using chee cheong fun (ccf)..jessie gave the ccf but wife and i don’t really take so use it to make horfun. lol!

got to use actual hor fun ..ccf too thin i cannot brown it on cast iron or non stick wok with or w/o oil…the 2 horfun tasty but i guess not much wokhae..may try again with real horfun instead of ccf.

Preview(opens in a new tab)

seafood horfun
seafood horfun
meen si (lime taujeon) steamed song fish head 松鱼头

my steamed fish head good standard like outside.

bittergourd still bitter despite repeated washing and soaking in water. maybe got to boil in water first. will see.

the 2 horfun were pretty tasty but not really much wokhae so cannot really c/w good horfun outside.

maybe will try again with the actual horfun from wet market.
