Cinnamon and Herb Crusted Lamb Leg

Actually I was supposed to bring lamb over to Shaun’s house, but then I was very hungry for lamb so I cooked it at home before I went. I then proceeded to bring over what was left in my fridge, which were three pitiful slices of tenderloin. Shaun’s kitchen is not a place to cook. It has knives which are blunter than forks, and his fridge does not stock meat, cheese, milk, bread or anything my dog would eat. It did however had a plentiful supply of coke. Anyway the steaks turned out horrible, mine was burnt and his was bleeding. Fortunately there was some shiitake left and he made some mushroom-flavored salt.

Potatoes, milk, butter and salt taste great together. It looks like shit but trust me it’s fucking delicious.Herb crusted lamb leg

This i the cute oven I use. I think one of my family members pick up from our void deck 1.Herb crusted lamb leg

The cherry tomatoes look beautiful, but they tasted like shit actually. Shouldn’t have gotten those cheap china ones.

The meat was a little overcooked, but still quite tender and juicy. Crust is made of breadcrumbs, parsley, cinnamon powder, parmesan cheese, and abit of olive oil and lemon juice.Herb crusted lamb leg

Hungry

Love it when I don’t have to work. It means I can play around with stuff in the kitchen that hasn’t been touched since we moved in. I didn’t even know the small oven we had was working.

A Jamie Oliver inspired dish, baked meatballs over an onion and tomato-puree base, with melted mozzarella.

Meatballs with spaghetti Mmmmmmm.Meatballs w spaghetti

Deep fried platter, with onion rings, fries and batter and herb crusted chicken breast. I swear deep frying is the hardest way to cook.

The salmon skin stuck to the pan. I only found cabbage in the fridge drawer, hence the coleslaw. Turned out to be a shitty tasting combination of bland warm fish with cold vegetables.

Second attempt at salmon, tried it after watching an ep of the F word. I seasoned the capsicum with sugar and vinegar to bring out the sweet-spicy flavour of the pepper. The strong taste goes well with the lightly seasoned salmon. Served with a makeshift tartar sauce.Salmon with Sweet n sour Capsicum

08/09 Season kicks off

Manchester United started off the season with a bang at Wembley Stadium with a comfortable Community Shield win on penalties against FA Cup winners Portsmouth. Stars Ronaldo and Rooney were out with injuries, but Tevez gave a man of the match performance to make up for their loss. Proving to be an unexpected menace to the Portsmouth side was Darren Fletcher, as he was time and again denied by on-form keeper David James. Captain Gary Neville also made a comfortable return to the side after spending the last 15 months sidelined as his team picked up the trophy for the second year in a row.

Gordon Ramsay's plates

Came across this plate collection at Shaw. Now even got Gordon Ramsay brand plates, which are going for like 100 bucks each.

aglio olio

Ate at the Pasta Cafe in taka with my mum, it’s by Pokka (Jap brand) so she said must be good. Ended up having the worst tastng aglio olio ever. Too oily too salty too many pine nuts.

Squid ink pasta

I tried squid ink pasta for the first time. Actually doesn’t really have any taste to it, just makes your lips and teeth fucking black. Don’t go to the pasta cafe it’s a bad place.

Eggs and bacon and chicken and pork and stuff

More food?


Ang moh breakfast staple Bacon and Eggs. No it’s not fucking over cooked farrah it’s bloody perfect.

I went to IKEA the other day and had their delicious poached salmon and broccoli. Wanted to try something similar. I don’t know how to make that sauce so I cheated by using some instant spaghetti sauce. Milk, flour and mozzarella.

Tonkatsu, but using mince pork instead of the usual fresh choice cuts. Coated with egg white and panko (Jap bread crumbs). First time deep frying, I screwed up and the first one was totally chao dar -.-” I don’t know how much oil I’m supposed to use; I poured out almost half the bottle. And am I supposed to keep the oil to reuse or something?? Seems damn wasteful if I need to finish a bottle of oil every time I deep fry. Someone help.

This is my default seasoning when I’m lazy. Premade chopped garlic. Premade curry powder mixture. Premade ground herbs and spices. Really, who has the time to do all these nowadays.
