The Fusion of Beef and Curry



It was time to experiment on some food. I can't recall the last time I made a successful beef roll using sushi sheets, I know I've did some very successful ones before as posted in previous posts. So I thought I bring it back into the light :)



Sad to admit my faults, but the beef did NOT turn out as magnificiently as it FIRMLY should. GRRR.. Not enough corn starch? I dunno, but the taste is just too salty for my liking. But on the brighter side of things, my curried couscous with cauliflower and courgettes turned out wonderfully tasty. With some added star anise for the added depth of flavour, the couscous is ultimately GOLD.



Better luck next time with my beef roll :S

A Tofu Craving



It was one of those days when I miss home and when I say home, I specifically mean TOFU. Oh the firmness and delicate taste of that wonderful beancurd. I miss it so much~ So I just had to bring myself to get it from the asian shop around the corner, though I could very well use that money to get meat instead :( But it's times like these that cost and worth are both different things.



I had these tofu cooked in my usual korean soybean paste soup with lots of chilli powder imported from the good nation Korea itself. Ah~ What will I do without the spicy and hot broth they call Chilli. :)



Instead of having the meehoon in the broth, I had it separated to make it sweet and sour with the onions. This, to counter balance the hot spicy broth I have at the side.

 Happy eating and cooking!

Food and Family





How quickly the week has come to an end. It was Friday already and the week has ended. My friends (close friends they are) and myself decided to have a little dinner together and watch something together as a family :) SO, I've made some vermicelli noodles CHINESE style of course. Make my mama proud. ANd to accompany my best friend's Tikka Chicken, I've made spring onion and mozarella stuffed naan breads. And how gorgeous they turned out to be :)  My first time too!



It was a great meal sitting together with the dining table full. I finally felt like it really was home. Wish my family was here too to make things even better. But on the brighter side, I've got the best and most understanding people by my side. WIth great food. I'm one lucky girl. :)

 Happy Eating and Cooking everyone!

When Work Gets Me Down



It was a tiring day and work just got to me and made me feel at the lowest. AGAIN. Like that's news anymore. So, in order to cheer myself up I've made myself use the halogen oven. Yes, I said "to cheer myself up" and oven in the same sentence. Might be the reason I scare some people off.



So, for dinner I took the liberty to roast my veggies (as seen cherry tomatoes and flavoursome onions AND sweet potatoes) I tossed these veggies along with my couscous and WALA~ my dinner is done. Tired but still have the energy to concoct imaginations of food.

 Happy cooking and eating~!

Finding new solutions.













Trying out Pinterest to help sort my photo uploads. Having reached my limit in my storage account, means I need to sort out other methods of uploading photos into the blog.

Wonderful *NOT* Something I need, more WORK to settle. Already having tons in my load to work on, I HAVE THIS BLOG to manage.

Anyway, BACK to the food. The above photo shows. My interpretation of the Spicy Korean Doenjjang Jiggae with glass noodles *Courtesy of my mother*

 Those mussels? Heh I got them at 0.50p in Tesco. Pure luck I must say :) But now that they're cooked, it isn't even that much :P Anyway, happy cooking everyone! :)
