Celebrating Justin's Father's Day

I have been pretty lazy to do blogging recently because was hooked to facebook's restaurant city. hee.hee.

This was taken on 21st of June, Sunday, Fathers' Day. I reminded Justin to organize a celebration, and we could learn some new dishes and cook for the family of 8. Since, I never had a chance to celebrate Father's Day with my deceased father, I always wanted to do something for Fathers..people who are often neglected because in favor of Mothers.

This displayed a table of food, mainly there are 6 dishes.



This is a spinach with oyster mushrooms. This is pretty easy to cook. Instead of stir-fried, we boiled some chicken broth and with some seasoning and cook the vegetables and mushrooms. It is much healthier.



This is our new learnt dish. It is called braised chestnuts mushroom chicken. This took quite a whole to cook. We bought fresh meats from our wet market and was also much cheaper. Cost around $5 to have 2 chicken bodies (without thighs, drumsticks) and diced it. As a beginner, I personally feel that this dish is simply delicious.



This dish was cooked by my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. This is the Braised pork with Toufu. A pity it was a bit too wet however, it taste great too.



Another 2 dishes was my usual Ma Po Tofu with mince meat and another new learnt dish called the Furong Prawn Egg, which I guess was the most favorite by looking how fast it got dished out.



This is steamfish. Our first time steaming a whole fish. We bought this golden pomfret for $6. My mother-in-law felt I should have cook a bit longer but I feel was just right else the meat will be too tough.




The day was ended with a nice hearty meals and chit-chats. The only thing was that my mother-in-law kept nagging my brother-in-law to have babies...omg.
