Y'all so awesome with the garnishing as well... me just trying to get 3 dishes done in 1 hr...no time for decorations...hahaha

Took these pix to catalog my dishes, frankly it's a lot of work because need to set up lighting and take photos fast as soon dishes are ready.

At times when dunno what to prep for meals, I'll just look into my food photo album.

Penang lok bak, wu xiang....whatever you name it. Nice little snacks but quite a bit of work.

Prawn noodles soup. One of my favorite. With the right soup base, everything will turn out nicely.

Lolz. How I wish my husband wil cook for me. Your wife is a lucky gal. Ur cooking look so indulging.

Totally agree. Part partial it's healthier because you can control quality and also enjoy cooking and exploring different sauce, spices and style.

My problem is I always get back late from work and cook. I usually cook simple dishes to eat.

Is the frozen scallop meat is tough or lembik lembik. I tried frozen scallop but I don't really like the texture. Where did u buy it?

Scallop must not be overcooked...even for a bit it becomes tough... Needs quick sear and baste...

Also there are two types of processing...one of it is the worse kind and makes it rubbery even if you know how to cook it...

If it's lembik lembik...perhaps it's not fresh...

Bought them from Jusco MV. Japanese scallops, was surprised by the freshness. Good quality indeed, price should be around RM150 - RM180.

Cooking is one of my interest, food prepping process can be very therapeutic. As for baking, it started out when wife complaint the lack of nice butter cakes around as most had vanilla extract in it. So I thought how difficult can it be to bake a nice butter cake, that's how I took on the challenge, start my research and so on.

It's good to learn new things everyday, load oneself with vast knowledge.

No wonder... I tried rm30-40 frozen scallops, not as sweet as expected.

I also buy the cheaper one. So it's also not nice.

This look so indulging. Did you bake it or braise it?

Made the bun and patty...

I tot butter cake sure have vanilla extract. U didn't put vanilla extract? I don't know how to bake patisserie. I think the ingredients must be with perfect proposition

Comfort food...

Olives, sun dried tomatoes, herbs...
