Yummylicious in red

Fresh cherries for hkd 23+ per kg. These are not too sour, almost sweet. Good source of vitamins A and C.

Second round of lychees. This time I remembered to photograph these red wonders.

A close-up.

Tau ewe bak

Got the recipe from an online site dedicated to peranakan recipes (thanks to ahkim bel). Thought it would be the same as how mama used to cook it, but hers was much more simple. This recipe requires crushed peppercorns, for that added flavour. My version was also much leaner with tremendously lesser oil.

Pea sprouts

This is one of my fav veggies. It's from the taugeh family minus the plucking of the tail and head,.. equals to less work.

Pea sprouts with cabbage.

Oyster sauce chicken

My second time cooking this dish, and this time with more ginger.

Red on the outside, white on the inside

Bought some lychees the other day. HKD 15 for 2kg - can never get that price back home. No, actually, getting fresh ones is almost impossible. At least in Mlk. I love lychees, the fresh and sweet ones at least.

After the peeling. So tempting till I forgot to photograph the whole fruit.

The juicylicious sweet fruit that is full of vitamin C goodness. Annabel had two, and daddy enjoyed his in his iced ribena (ala sirup laici).

Breakfast today

We went english for the first meal of the day today. The breakfast set consisted of smoked bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, fresh tomatoes, english muffins, and good ol nescafe.

Ayam masak tempra

My first time using chicken for this tempra recipe. It's easy to cook. The combination of sweet-sour-salty taste is a delight to the tastebuds, giving this dish its unique tempra-taste. So unlike the tempra dish that we ordered at a local peranakan restaurant in melaka quite sometime back. It tasted kicap all the way. They can bluff their way to other customers (non-peranakans) but definitely not this one!

View from the kitchen

Yeah, I know, the window needs cleaning!

More flats!
