Reanaclaire's Signature Dishes!

Confession time... Yes, I have not cook for a long long time.. When Andy came back for a month long holiday, can you guess how many times I cook for him? I am sure no one will be able to guess it correctly... I am shy to tell also...but will still disclose because I am not a 24 hours mom after all... :)  Perhaps he knows his mom is not a good cook so better not ask... lol...

The only day when I cook during his month long semester holiday was when his brother came back from Singapore.... he has been eating outside food all the time and his special request was one meal home cooked food.  Knowing very well his mother is not a "complicated" cook, he only asked for these simple dishes such as below.... 
My last tin of SPAM (black pepper ham)
Potato chicken, Reanaclaire's dish....
my mother "donated" steamed chicken... :)
Broiled broccoli to balance up the meal....
Radish soup....
Reanaclaire's once a Blue Moon Meal.. lol..
Elin's famous baked cheesecake for my kids!
Everyone Happy?
OK! LET'S START!!

  7. The dishes are nothing new to me cos I eat them regularly. I cook the same type of food (or similar) every day. The theory of substitution works very efficiently in my kitchen. E.g. prawn omelette, onion omelette, mushroom omelette etc. Blanched various kinds of leafy green veg, steamed pork/chicken/fish. Well, I don't think I am a maestro at home but at least nobody leaves the dining table half way through. Haha.
