Resolution for 2012!Be a cooking mama

That's it!I'm sick of 菜饭 tingkat after having for 2 months. Yucks!
So today, I finally got my mama to teach me how to cook at a grand age of 29 :)
The last time I cooked was the unfortunate dinner we had at my house which consisted of super sour spaghetti and burnt hotdogs heh.

Anyway, my two recipes for today
1) Prawn Omelette

What I will need
a) Approximately 10 prawns
b) 2 eggs
c) Pepper
d) Soya sauce
e) fresh milk

Directions

• place prawns in a bowl
• Add 2 eggs
• 2 dash of pepper
• 1 tablespoon of soya sauce
• 2 tablespoon of fresh milk
• Mix well
• 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil added to pan
• Pour mixture into pan
• Ensure evenly spread out and stir as required to ensure fully cooked
• Ready to serve!

2) Stir fried Spinach

What I will need:
a) Spinach
b) Salt
c) Grapeseed oil

Directions

• Ensure pan is dry
• Add one tablespoon of oil
• Add spinach in
• Stir fry to ensure vegetables evenly mixed
• Add one teaspoon of salt
• Simmer for a while
• ready to serve

Ta-Tang!Hopefully I will get these edible the next time i try on my own! Cooking mama in training :)

Precious weekends (26 Mar-27 Mar)

Guess after marriage, weekends have been more precious than ever since we now have twice the amount of entertainment to done weekly heh- perils of being a simei celebrity heh

Our activities for last week:
First up was:
Romancing U at Marina Bay (26 mar)

Our caricature artist hard at work!We were the lucky last few to get our couple caricature done. 

Our completed caricature done just before the viewing of the movie- HITCH!

Beautiful sunset with Marina Bay Sands just behind

Having so many couples attending the event- we should go for more of such events. But after the event, we were so famished so lesson learned- we are going to pack our own food just like the other seasoned couples (I wanna have my own picnic basket) By the way, YX had two cornetto in a row (what a greedy  boy!)

Next to fill our hungry tummies! we headed to esplanade glutton bay- all our local delights

Hokkien Mee (but nothing beats my eunos-bedok hokkien mee)

Been a long time since we last had char kway teow

Our expensive plate of satay ($7 for 10 sticks!+ one kueh tu pat

Our BBQ chicken wings

Disgustingly fattening dinner! Time we lose some calories, we have been eating too much good food
Our Sunday Dinner at Tampines Mall- Cafe Cartel; having dinner promotion (set dinner with ribs)



So hungry that we had two basket of bread



Greedy me!



Black pepper ribs and my honey ribs!

Went to zzz in the afternoon since we are quite full we decided to make full use of Kim Gary 1 for 1 late night promotion

Darling baked fish rice with twin sauces













Supreme curry pork chop with rice

And we were ambitious- to cook on our own.

Must keep up in the blogging- time seems to slip past so quickly.

Tomorrow is the start of the new term.

Anyway, on a lighter note we went Five stars for lunch













Our Five stars chicken rice and Thai tofu!!

After that we headed to katong shopping centre for our toiletries shopping at Rey im.
