More food

Ok there's a lot I have to catch up on. I've been to loads of places and done many many things in my time of absence from this blog. But thats another story for another day. If I were to write all that stuff now, I'd probably be writing a trilogy of novels.

For now, just to keep the blog alive:
Heres some of my latest works.

Faith's wantons. I helped with some (the crappy looking ones).


Baked fish with carrots and ginger. Didn't turn out that nice but this is only my second time cooking fish. I blame the fish.



Fried chicken with apple, red onion and honey. So good. I'm gonna be making this more often. So nice and sweet.


Carbonara. Tried to make it as close as possible to the real deal. But failed. Used crappy bacon and even crappier tesco value cheese. Used egg and cream. It still tasted alright like. I'm still happy with it.



Spicy noodles. Soaked the noodles in dark soy sauce. Strained well. And finally fried with a little bit of oyster sauce and bacon. Garnished with spring onions and served with chilli, soy sauce and lettuce. Made it a wee bit too spicy for my taste because i soaked chilli in soy sauce and then I poured all that soy sauce on to the noodles.


Pork peasant style (Roasted pork with olive oil, sage and honey). Served with mashed sweet potato (Faith's master piece).
It was so stressful to make the mashed potato. We boiled the sweet potato for way too short. And realised it too late. So we had to pain stakingly mash the sweet potatoes which were still frozen in the middle.

Just made this 2 hours ago. Golden fried rice. Ok step by step now:
Fried garlic in a wok until brown.
Added 2 eggs.
Added the rice immediately.
Fried for a few minutes.
Added oyster sauce, chili flakes and pepper.
Once finished frying, added fried bacon.
Garnished with spring onions.

Not too great but I like it.
