Special Home Sauce Spaghetti and Zuzai Wantons

It takes great care to make this special sauce spaghetti using a number of special ingredients. But firstly, the Spaghetti has to be soaked before it is cooked in hot water bath for at least 15-20 minutes. The very fine texture of the spaghetti shall determine the outcome of a good meal or otherwise soggy or spaghetti that gets undercooked still. I used cream cheese, a number of herbs, cashew nut paste and sun dried tomatoes with shreds of an onion and cut sausage. The result is neither marinara nor carbonara but something rather spicy. Wantons on the other hand depends very much on the filling and this one is made using minced ham on mortar and mushrooms to add taste. Both are exciting weekend dinners!

Lamb Shank Stew with Home Made Bread

This is the most delicious ingredient for cooking lamb shank. With the already juicy fine texture of the lamb shank, this stew combines a number of herbs known only to the chef with sweet baby potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic. The outcome is a mouth watering experience when the meal is again complemented with fresh home made savory bread.

Personally, I love the careful cutlets of the lamb shank topped with a little bit of its very fine and redolent way of the herbal infusion as the black pepper creates the depth of taste along. The bread eaten with the meat and potatoes before the carrots and garlic add the adventure. This meal is also baked with strategy.

Home Cooking - Fried Brown Rice and Chicken Fingers!

Brown Rice is full of fiber and protein. This one is a special version of Fried brown rice with frozen vegetables, sausage, chicken, asparagus and capsicum cutlets. Very nice as I did not think that it would be successful as usually it takes more water to cook the brown rice. Too much water makes the rice glueie, so just enough water to make the rice completely cooked while placing adequate amount of grape seed oil to add flavor and nutrition while frying the next day. It takes around 7-8 minutes before the rice is fried to its optimal texture.
This meal is specially prepared with added seaweeds to garnish besides the egg slices and steamed brocolli, asparagus, carrots and baby corn to top up extra vitamins. The fried chicken fingers on the other hand has to be put in the fridge for 24 hours in order to let its full taste immerse throughout with handful of marinated spices, herbs, garlic, pepper and ginger on lemon and oil. The next day it is deep fried in sunflower oil after each chicken strip is nicely coated with beaten eggs and its accompanying cracker crumbs to make it extra crunchy and delicious.

Beer Thumbs Up

Recently, I bought a special beer glass out of curiosity. When I tried the beer poured into the glass, I realized it tasted smoother than usual and definitely is more tasty than using normal porcelain mugs which is what I used to drink my beer with. Another difference is when I pour the beer into the beer glass, the foam stays on top while giving extra volume through the streamlines of the shape of the glass. It definitely looks appealing and makes the beer drinking ritual complete to its level of satisfaction. While I used to pour beer into a porcelain mug, the foams would dissolve within a few seconds rendering the beer less tasty and yummy than it really is. No wonder why I thought the beer tasted slightly different than when I drank it in the pubs.

Another thing about drinking beer is to drink it at very low temperature, the extreme chilling effect is going to melt all those stress away from the day! Here is to october beer fest! Yet do remember to drink responsibly 1-2-3 units male or female!
