Char Siew Pau

It's been a long time since I last update my blog and it's looking more like a foodie blog now :) I bought a bamboo steamer not long ago, and thought I should make myself some char siew pau (one of my must order dish when i go for dim sum). I made some char siew yesterday using aunty lily's recipe, http://lilyng2000.blogspot.com/2005/07/char-siew.html, and made the pau today, http://lilyng2000.blogspot.com/2005/06/char-siew-pau.html.

the final results. i am quite satisfied since this is the first time i made pau. The fillings is quite dry, I will remember to make more gravy next time.

the pau before steaming. To know how to pleat the pau, watch those videos on youtube, loads of them :)

steam the pau for 10 min

ta-daa... looks a bit ugly, got to improve my pau pleating skill :)

Lazy Meal

I tried a very simple dish tonight, tomato eggs, which turns out very nice and sweet! See the recipe here.
Sorry for the quality of this photo, poor lighting, will try harder next time :)

Blueberry muffins!

I have my own Saturday kitchen this weekend, trying out James Martin's blueberry muffins, see the recipe here. I bought more blueberries than the recipe asked for and thought it does not matter . However I found out that too much is not necessary a good thing :) Its a bit runny and blueberries everywhere!

Sweet & Sour Pork

I made yummy sweet & sour pork few weeks ago, deep fried the pork myself, but cheated on the sauce, its from Uncle Ben's :p

My indulgence for the day
