Happy Mid Autumn 2011

虽然这个中秋 我很没有心情买月饼 开月光会

但还是过得很热闹：

  

越来越难找的<猪笼饼>

从马六甲三保井巴刹远道而来的小礼物

充满童年的浓浓回忆……

从吉隆坡半山芭紫藤到马六甲爸爸妈妈家定居的小月饼

Melaka Raya 荣成礼坊的梅子莲蓉素饼
和 每年中秋必备的公仔饼 今年有兔子形状的哦！

Uncle Lim 旗下出产的月饼

从第一刀切下去的直觉
就告诉我这东东很没有heart
味道果然很假

当中最贵的一颗月饼

味道还不错！

老公对这颗月饼情有独钟
特地从Gardens买一颗来sayang他

不同凡响的小幸福

茶味很浓

今年没有月光会
但我们还是有好康=P
在院子里玩了整个钟头
也喂饱了好多饥饿的蚊子><

去年今日此门中   人面桃花相映红
人面不知何处去   桃花依旧笑春风

星期天 · 晚餐

简单温馨的星期天晚餐

酱烤杏鲍菇 + 煎鸡柳 + 鱼柳 platter

这条鱼有点大

在鱼身上划三刀 下锅前撒点盐 拍点粉

用小火两面煎熟 起锅前淋上甜酱油

用鲍鱼汁快炒的豌豆苗

最近蚂蚁又在厨房里为所欲为

才一部戏的时间

它们就来欺负我放在盘子里解冻的鱼

却对旁边煲汤用的猪骨无动于衷

=="

姑姑的爱心餐

每逢家庭聚会

如果我们家二姑姑在国内的话

一定会满桌子都是她的杰作！

然后就会大包小包的

要大家把剩下来的带回去

最‘受宠’的那位-就是在下

所以每次出席我都会乖乖自己带盒子去装

免得过后盒子要还来还去的……

.

上个周末的聚餐

我明明只带了三个空盒子去

却装了5个满满的盒子回来

那些食物可以养我一个星期了

鲜橙口味的鸡蛋糕
姑姑说用了1粒半的鲜榨橙汁和橙皮
好香~好好吃！

黄姜饭和不含椰浆的咖哩鸡
放了自家种的指天椒下去
辣得我的肚子很受罪 TnT

这个应该是叫黑糖糯米糕吧……
闻起来像dodol
吃一块就会很饱的了！
神奇~
老爸说功夫不如阿嫲
但我觉得很好吃了呀！

给阿嫲的蛋糕~♥

简单不做作的奶油蛋糕~

献给我们怀念的阿嫲……
