 n i modified it to my own cocktail version ^^

lime juice + soda + lemongrass + kaffir lime leaf
+ vodka + whole japanese plum

we old people dun like to go merebut-rebut
in the mall or restaurant with the younsters
so we decided to cincai eat at home
since both of us were busy at work
.
although cincai but it's still Valentine's Day mar...
curi-curi sneaked to supermarket to get ingredients
.
was planning to make Western or Italian
but seems like every big occassion also same thing... boring lor
so i decided to make a special Localicious Valentine's Meal
with

Grilled Chicken Chop n Pandan Rice Platters ~ ♥
(n one big pot of hearty ABC soup behind the scene)

Chicken Chop:

* slice open those thicker part of the meal
(so tat it'll cook evenly n won't curl up)
*use a fork to poke the meat all over
(the more the merrier - ya... very cruel but it'll get marinated nicely)

*marinate with mirin, pepper, oyster sauce, rice wine
*grill 5-6 mitutes on each side

 with some smashed lemongrass on the grilling pan

Pandan Rice:
*blend shallot, garlic, ginger n pandan leaves into paste
*blend the paste with some salt

 n a spoonful of planta into washed rice
*add water n some smash lemongrass, stir well - cook rice as usual
( i steamed my rice)

 simple yet blissful Valentine's Day

snuggled at home with a great movie
sipping Lemongrass cocktail n munching chocolate cupcake ♥

迷你盆菜 = 碗菜！

人家有盆菜~ 我们家有‘碗菜’！嘻嘻~

本来想说 要似模似样~ 学人家一层层叠的~
还拿了祖母留下的鸡公碗出来
最后放弃了~
没力气呗………………
.
这碗杂菜用了
收在冷冻库里的隔夜烤鸡肉块
年菜用不完的大白菜
和年货里的罐头蘑菇
加上几条鱼饼和萝卜块煮成的
调味料只用了味醂和蚝油

丰裕兼清淡
最适合大吃大喝后的这几天
.
ah yan 在此祝大家生日快樂！
