Before Andy came home last weekend, he told me to prepare home cooked dishes instead of eating out. To me, that was a great task to do, more difficult than writing opportunities online..
lol.. I know myself, long time never really cook properly, sometimes I just steam the fish and
vege and most times, we eat out, Fernie and I...
So when Andy made that request,
yours truly had to crack her head few days beforehand, what and when to do the marketing.... Don't be mistaken, I did not do any
complicated dishes.... ...(took me few hours to get these ready...
like chinese saying, kai sau ngap kwok (chicken hands, duck legs - cannot coordinate well) so ended up cooking simple dishes such as these ...
potatoes chicken is a Must
Andy's favorite
char
choy with pork
AA's favorite..
steamed fish with cauliflower (
