I FELT SO LOST WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING!
Yes, it's saturday! it's saturday! oh mine, for the past few years, i have to wake up at 8am every Saturday for tuition.
And today, I actually woke up at 10.30am, feeling LOST!
I don't have anymore tuitions now and I woke up, lie on my bed, stare in the ceiling and thinking what should I do? -_-"
Kao, I must be crazy. Nan de I have such free Saturday and yet Im still "complaining" about nothing-to-do. I MUST BE CRAZY!
So... I had brunch and headed for the gym.
And to my horror, the gym staffs are more crazy than me!
COS IT'S HALLOWEEN TODAY baby! And all the staffs were either wearing masks or painted their face to some disgusting white or red colour. The whole gym was filled with balloons and spider webs and when i first stepped in, I SCREAMED.
An idiot staff was trying to scare me with his spiderman painted face. How stupid -_-
Can the world get a lil' more crazy than this! GOSH
But well, it's fun lah, how I hope Im going for some Halloween Party tonight!
But well, I guess age is catching up, I am too old and tired for late night parties.
Perhaps a massage will be more suitable for me... hehe
Ok, so back to Thursday, where i have announced in the blog and on FB that Im going to cook dinner for the family of 7 people.
Yes, doesn't it sound like some banquet or something? LOL!
Ah yi was on leave, and she wanted to accompany me to the supermarket for grocery shopping, but i rejected her offer!!
wahaha, because i noe that if im going to with her, she will stop me from buying half of what i bought! wahahahaha~
And these are the stuffs that i bought!
请别小看桌子上的这些材料。他妈的，花了我$66!!
Why so much right?
Because i bought scallops (which is 15 bucks already), fish maw, oysters, chinese herbs for cooking soup, kang kong, oyster sauce, hua diao wine, tofu, pumpkin, red green and yellow chilli, pork, chicken etc etc etc. And somehow it just adds up to that much.
WELL DONE! MA HAN QUAN XI right! haha
And it is damn heavy can!
I am just like a aunty carry so many NTUC plastic bags, lugging my footsteps home.
And since I bought so much, im determined that it's gona be a YUMMY FEAST!
So the preparation starts from 3pm... with Ah Yi's help in cutting the ingredients. The first thing to prepare was the soup cuz i wana boil for 3 hours. 好料 ok! NO MSG AT ALL! I repeat, NO MSG AT ALL! No salt, no sugar, no soy sauce, no wadever nonsense. The taste just comes from the chinese herbs and the fish maw and scallops and chicken and oyster which I bought.
At 6pm, EVERYTHING was ready. And I mean, ALL READY. Soup is ready, three other dishes are ready.
SO ARE U READY TO SEE MY HOME-COOKED DISHES?? wahahaha....

Presenting to u, Miss Ow's Home Cooked YUMMY Dishes...! -claps-claps-
Wait wait wait!
Please don't be disgusted by that yellow creamy thing that u think it looks yucky. It's actually PUMPKIN and i steam, mesh and fry with some ingredients that make it super yummy. Go along with the caibo and tofu, omg, EVERYONE LOVES THIS OK!
Colourful? Normal? Just pork and capsicums?
Absolutely NOT!
I added MUSTARD! MUSTARD!! It's usu used for western food? or wadever, but i added it to fry with pork and mushrooms and capsicums. And it taste's great!
Although Mustard really doesn't go well with my body. I wasn't feeling too good after eating the mustard but hey, my ah yi's bf love love love this!
ASYAM CURRY FISH! HOHOHO!
Dun worry dun worry, i added water instead of 6 packets of coconut which i used to do. AND it just tastes great, leaving my ah yi soot soot 叫！haha
Sambal Kang Kong! Hey u think this is simple?
OF COURSE NOT! To cook a perfect plate of vegetables need skills one ok! You think everyone can ensure their vegetable isnt too dry or too salty or too bland or too watery?
I tell u, in the AW and OW family, only Ah Gong and ME cook perfecttttt vegetables! REALLY, 100% CHOPPED!
2 Aunty's vegetables are always full of water and too soggy while 3 Aunty's vegetables are always too dry. Mummy, Daddy and Uncle doesn't cook. SO...haha!
Sambal Kang Kong, omg, as i blog abt it now, i DROOL!
Ok, now the star of the night!
THE SOUP!
I dunnoe what to say. It's too good to be true! I look at it and think how come it tastes SOOOO GOOD! LOL
Maybe cuz i boil it for 3 hours...actually its the most simple dish out of the rest. i just have to cut the ingredients, throw in water and let the fire do the job.
maybe it's the combination of ingredients that make the taste perfect... esp the oyster taste... it's like some good cantonese soup that u drink during CNY.
Well the only flaws maybe the chicken. :(
I went to NTUC and get this packet of chicken, which says "CHICKEN PARTS".
So i thought good lor, i dunnid to spend time cutting up the whole chicken since it's already done for me.
And after cooking to 1 hour, when i pick it up from the soup, to my horror, it's only chicken intestines. Yes, only intestines. No thighs, no breast or wadever.
WAH SIAN DIAO! How can say chicken parts! wrong information lor! ANGRY!
But nvm, it still tastes WONDERFUL!!
And of course, my whole family enjoyed it. especially the soup. Not a single drip left. xie xie xie xie!
真给面子！haha! My ah yi still ask mi for recipessss....hahah
I think i make a perfect wife!! HOHOHO!
To end off, my family photos are up on my wall. Ah Yi pin it up while i was shopping for ingredients. great job!
Ok, next post. KTV on friday! whee!
