Feast of the month ? Angler?s Birthday

Today is my angler’s birthday, so I thought I cook him dinner instead of going out.

I recently bought cookbook called Wakiya – Chinese Cuisine and in the book he say on special occasion prepare 9 dishes and then he goes on to say each dishes need to have meaning (can’t be bothered with that ha ha)

So here we go

Snack

Catch of the day is Cuttlefish, when it comes to cuttlefish, the easiest dish I can prepare is Cuttlefish ball. after a few practise, i am quite happy with the way it taste now but one things that irritates me is whenever I lift the cuttlefish ball out of the hot oil, within minutes it shrinkss!!!! if any of you know how to prevent this, pls let me know!

Drink

On our recent trip to CostCo, we found they sell a dozen of young coconut for $16, sound like a bargain to me. we brought them to Ms Chang place for dinner, when it comes to opening it, we was like “okaaaay, din think about that, how do we open then, fortunately after years of watching abang-abang (means young man in indo) opening coconut, i also practise their stunt using meat cleaver. see evidence below (quite an expert isnt it ha ha ha, nice square ring)

Young Coconut Juice

Main

Spicy Prawn

Stir Fry Sliced Beef and Snow Pea with Sa Cha Sauce

Chinese Herbs Soup - Ching Bu Liang

As with Asian tradition, when it’s your birthday, you will need to eat noodle ( I think it mean longevity hmm or is it prosperity), my two minutes solution is Indonesian Instant Noodle – Mee Goreng (he he)

Dessert

My most anticipated dish of the night is the Birthday Cake, I bought this cake from Cacao @Kew and it is called “Glamour Dome” it is quite stunning and soooooooooooooooo tasty.

Glamourous Dome!!!

 After the rich cake, as I am getting guilty by the minutes (after days and days of eating), we just have to wash down the guilt with hot green tea (abit like after confession session, you are clear of your sin? wishful thinking haha)
