Family Dinner!! =)

it is really warm to sit together and have home cooked food

just like a family

i am glad that i have awesome housemates that are just like my family!

so everyone cook one dish!

Erick didn't cook because he forget about it

anyway, he will be in charged to wash all the dish

luckily Cloud prepared 2 dishes 

japanese curry veggie and egg roll

among of of the girls, Cloud is the best cook

malaysia style fried rice!

by Elaine!

lasagna

Tim's dish

but not cook by him

by his friend

it is a beef lasagna!

awesome

so, this is what i cooked!

i don't know what it should be called

i didn't follow any recipe 

just mix everything i have

generally it is hash potato topped slow-cooked chicken peas, onion with carrot 

to be it is nice

i didn't add oil, sugar or salt

100% natural taste

it is really great to have them as my "family"

we even talked about having FAMILY DINNER every weekends

unfortunately, i won't be around anymore

yet, i need to thank all of my mighty housemates!

they are really cool! 

Bread! How I eat!

I love to eat bread! Especially multigrains bread
This is because it is a healthier choice and help in weight loss!
So there are some ideas on how to eat bread!

upper : yogurt + sunflower seed!

it is a bit dry but delicious!

below: yogurt + rasin!!

sweet & nice!

Hearty breakfast

this is really healthy!

what you need :

a handful of granola

a handful of rasin

honey (optional)

GReek Yogurt 

i like greek yogurt because it tastes a bit like ice cream!

love it to max!

it is a great idea for wight lose!

low in calories! =)

HOMEMADE HEALTHY APPLE SAUCE/JAM

i got too many apples 

it is soft already!

not crunchy anymore

so, i searched the Internet to see what can i do with these apples

so, i decided to make HOMEMADE APPLE SAUCE/JAM!!

SO, THIS IS HOW IT WORkS!

i used 4 apples

peel and core them!

then, slice them into very tiny pieces because i dont have a blander hence i need to smash them using a fork

smaller price, easier to mash!

ended up looking like this:

put them tiny pieces into a pot!

pour a lit water (i don't measure just pour hot water into it!)

then, add some sugar

any type of sugar 

i prefer brown sugar

yet, i only use 2 packets

because apples are sweet already, no point adding additional sugar for it (this is what i think!)

according to the recipe, 1 cup of sugar is needed

i think it is based on individuals!

So, sugar is added!

now, boil it for about 20 minutes!

stirring is needed to avoid brunt!

meanwhile, use a fork to smash it!

you can also smash it after the 20 minutes boiling

but smash it during boiling will be easier!

so this is my FIRST HOMEMADE HEALTHY APPLE SAUCE/JAM!

delicious & tasty!

first time, nice try! =)

Healthy hash brown

What you need:
Potatoes (cubed)
Lettuce/ other veggie (optional)
Soft tofu
1 Egg

Firstly,  I boiled the potatoes so that it will be softened (I love it to be soft)
Then cut them into cubes! Actually mine not cube, I just cut them into small pieces!
I transfer them into a large bowl together with the chopped lettuce
Mix them together with a spoon
Then add in crushed soft tofu!
Mix it again and add some soy sauce (I add oyster sauce instead)
Lastly add egg into it and mix it again!
Put them on the aluminium foil that coated with oil and bake it for 10 minutes in 200 degree Celsius
And there it is!

Healthy hash brown! 

It is a bit too watery, maybe because I don't drain the soft tofu! 

My sis said it tasted amazing!

I added tofu because It contains high protein and potato has high carbohydrates
Lettuce is high fiber & vitamin food
So together, it is healthy!
It has a very low calorie (sorry I don't know how to calculate )
Yet it is obviously lower calories than the frozen hash brown

I create this recipe all by myself!
So I m very happy with it!

CHEESY CHRISTMAS SALAD

Christmas is coming soon!
Actually still got 22 days to Christmas!
Whenever I think of Christmas I think of 2 colors : RED & GREEN!
Yeah, typical Christmas tree color!
So, I think of using these two colors to make a salad for lunch!

Recently, I like to use the oven !
Firstly, it is easy : put everything in and press some buttons!
Secondly, I hate washing so using aluminium foil and dispose it after roasting is the best choice for me!
Thirdly, i can practice how to cook so that next year i can cook for myself in overseas!
Hence, I decided to roast some veggies!
I don't really like to eat raw
Raw food doesn't taste sweet

For seasoning, I only use 2 ingredients! OLIVE OIL & LEMON!!

i pour the oil and lemon juice on the aluminium foil
then, tost with cucumber and broccoli!
On the other layer, I grill tomato and  cherry tomato!

After 10 minutes roasting, salad is coming!!
i mixed tomato, cherry tomato, cucumber & lettuce (sliced) together with cheese sauce!
then, add into a bowl !
in less than 5 minutes, my salad is ready!
yummy, yummy!
the plus point is this salad only is about 100 kcal! =)

EGGS IN TOMATOES!

wake up quite early this morning (around 9am!)
the house is quite as usual, i am the first to wake up in the family (except my dad who went to work!)
open the fridge and a container of tomatoes is right in front of me!
so, i took it out and start to think what to do with it!

 This ! 

grilled tomato pouch egg! =)
so this is what u need ( 2 ingredient only!) : Tomatoes + eggs
what u need to do:
1. preheat the oven for about 10 minutes with 200 degree
2. place the aluminium foil on the tray
3. halve the tomatoes
4. Pour the eggs in the tomatoes (for me, one egg with one tomato)
5. place them on the foil
6. carefully, insert it into the oven
7. Grill it for about 10-15 minutes with 200 degree
8. take it out carefully with glove and let it cool!
9. eat it!

actually, i also do some grilled lettuce!
this is just an experiment
I want to try how it tastes
hmm... it tastes a bit like seaweed
It is burnt, because I grilled them for 15 minutes, over-grilled!
i rolled it and use as decoration for my tomatoes!

My BREAKFAST!

Bro's smiling Tomato

Mum's !

FOOD PRESENTATION!
to me, i think how you present your food is very important, it will affect the mood of the person who eat it!
so, i like to decorate my food, i want the person who is eating to be happy!

I think it is successful
i am sort of sense of achievement because this is my FIRST TIME doing this!
Tomatoes are healthy and low in calories!
A tomato has an average of 17 calories (so low!) and it is filling
i remember when i was young, my mum used to tell me tomatoes are good for the skin!
So, try this, easy and simple!

Layered cereal!!

What you need : yogurt (Greek/ natural) + cereal

Step 1: scope 2 tablespoons of yogurt & add into the container (I used a mug)

Step 2: pour the cereal into the mug

Step 3: repeat step 2-3

Finally, this is what it looks like!

Layered Cereal!!

NO RESERVATION @ SS15

it was raining, not cats and dog!
after maths studies exam, it suddenly started to pour!
And because of this plan changed, change to a better plan for me!
initially, MEI HUEY suggested to go Sushi King @ First Subang
but, since raining, it is sort of impossible for us to walk there from college!
So, I suggested NO RESERVATION!

i heard friends mentioned it and said it is NICE & worth trying! But I never try it!
it is actually same row as Mcdonald but upstairs!
the signboard is green and it is very obvious!
we walked in the rain (with umbrella) just to reach there!! =P

the environment is pretty good
it made you feel comfortable, not like typical restaurant but like a place that u can relax
i believed this is mostly due to the lighting and the music!
it played Japanese music, but not the pop song!

use this to order food!

the way you order is also pretty unique!
it is sort of self service!
There are pictures at the entrance and below each picture there will be cards
if u want to eat that food, just take one of the card and bring it to the counter to pay for it!
it reminded me a Japanese Buffet at JB, they used the same concept too!

time for photo while waiting for food!

actually, if you come before 12pm, you can get a MUG that allowed you to have free flow drinks
but, we went around 3pm, so NO FREE DRINKS
but, the boss still give us because this is our FIRST time here!
so good!
there  is a range of drinks for you to choose : white coffee, milo, peach tea, ice lemon tea, green tea & sky juice!
You can just refill yourselves, so don't need to feel embarrassed !!

So this is the boss + chief! (opps, not clear! sorry!)

he is really friendly!

he is a Japaneses, from tokyo!

to me, i think he is GREAT

the whole shop, he is the only one there!

this means that he is the cook, cashier, waiter! OMG!

the food is served a bit slow, because it is a one-man-show! so it is reasonable！
it took around 15-20 minutes for the food to be served!

This is what I had!

udon shio buta (rm10.90)

MEI HUEY chose it for me! because i had no idea what to order!

personally, the pork is too fat for me! (but others like my brother will love it!)

it is quite big portion and i cannot finish it!

MEI HUEY's soba + fried potato (i forgot the name of this dish!)

it is quite nice, i love the cheese actually!

the soup is actually same as the daily soup served!

it cost rm10.90!

Curry Katsu (chicken) Udon for ISABELLE!

it is not spicy at all

quite standard 

did i mention about the FREE soup?

the shop do serve FREE daily soup

not miso but sort of cabbage soup!

I don't think he put any Ajinomoto into, it tastes just nice!

btw, after we did a survey, each of us got a sushi plate FOC!

so this is what he get!

you are actually free to choose whatever you want from the menu!

so there are mayo salmon roll, ebiko sushi and the vege sushi!!

good food, sweet memories!

Basically the food is quite nice, u can feel a bit like home cooked food
not salty but taste healthy!
Typical Japanese food!
