Happy Birthday Sweetheart!  |
This was us after grocery shopping. We bought fruits for smoothie & ingredients for 3 days worth of pasta (llf's fav)

| Xiaomi Camera |
Most pictures (wide angle shot) are taken with Xiaomi cam. It's only pro is it's wide angle for selfie/wefie. Cons are, mildly acceptable but not very good resolution & bad at food taking.
Dinner with lf's parents at Coffee Club again. The outlet at holland v was right up a hill

This was the last shot taken with Xiaomi cam.
• Sausage Platter ($8.90)
• Espresso Pork Ribs ($20.90)
When you had the same dishes for the 2nd time within a few days, it's delicious but not mouth watering yummy anymore
• BBQ Chicken Thigh ($18.90)
The meat is so tender & i'm glad the sides aren't fried wedges but grilled potato cubes.
• 2 plates of Baked shrimp-crusted Salmon ($17.90 each)
Too bad there's cheese but managed to scrape it off. Mama Lim is allergic to shrimp 
so she can't consume the salmon but we ordered 2 plates of it 
Because the fussy llf don't like the taste of milk so i got to add yakult + the same amount of milk as the yakult. Added more milk once & he made a fuss 
These 2 combinations are the same except for replacing yakult with yogurt & added more milk to mine.
I think pasta is an easy-to-make dish. It's definitely
easier if you utilise ready made tomato sauce like Prego. But i decided to try making the tomato sauce from scratch so i specially bought a blender for it.

Homemade  tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes  |
Ingredients ( in 1st needed order)
5) Garlic, Salt & Pepper or Onions
6) Crab stick, Mushrooms, Marinated Meat or (Bacon, Fish, Ham, Hotdogs, etc.)
Steps for simple Spaghetti Bolognese
1) Boil water for
spaghetti
2) Cook pasta for 2
mins (depending or pasta type: Angel Hair, Linguine, Penne, etc.
3) Scoop up pasta & place in water with ice cubes (to avoid pasta from cooking
itself till it cools off = soggy/overcooked)
4) Blend tomatoes ( i
used 6 medium sized for serving for 2)
Don't blend the tomatoes
till they're all watery. So you can savour the tomato bits
5) Heat up pan, add
teaspoon of oil, Stir-fry garlic
6) Add blended tomato
sauce
7) Add Meat &
Mushroom
8) Crabstick & Cooled Pasta
All these steps are based on experience so we also utilised our parents' based-on-experience type of cooking.

| Mushroom Soup, Salmon & Scrambled Eggs |
Mushroom soup is from Campbell's ready made Cream of Mushroom. We just added Oyster Mushroom & White Mushrooms. Must learn how to cook creamy mushroom soup from scratch too.
Steamed Salmon. Because steaming is easier than grilling, you don't have to keep flipping the fish. This llf ask me to flip the salmon so it looks nicer in picture. But isn't the pink meat nicer than black skin for food?
Scrambled eggs cooked by llf. This must be the blackest scrambled egg thou it's not burnt yet 
But oh well, we shall do both & improve our skills 
as doing it alone becomes a chore 
Thanks to Bestie & Benny~
