Our Favorites, No Favoritism

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 (lol...)
Fernie's favorite


ginger prawns...
my favorite :)


kau kei soup with fish balls
(thorny leaves)


lastly and not least,
a tub of durians
Everyone's Favorite
(eat with rice, of course!)
