The Unique 手工福州面线

This is a really special 面线

福州 style...
my sister's bf's family bought this from malaysia as their dialect is 福州...




Have you ever seen this b4?
not me...
its crispy and dry...breaks easily....



I used this to cook for our lunch~~

here some of the ingredients I've found in the fridge...
long beans, shitake mushrooms, fishballs....
I know it's very weird to use long beans...
but I don't have any other veg, and I can't do without veg...



so it took about 10 mins to cook a meal for 3~~

and I used the overnight ABC soup for my soup base....




Yummy!
HAHA!
my brother said that it's the same as kway zap..
but i don't think so..i feel that the texture is more like super thin mee hun gui!
we still have abit left...
and I'm going to cook it again!
maybe the dry style!? =)

Chinese Noodles..~~

My mother bought this noodle for my in laws....

the size of the mee is even bigger than my face~~

Very fragrant noodle~!

These are the ingredients....

Pork loin slices marinated with sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper and corn flour~~

Shitake mushrooms...

Fish cake slices....
I bought all ingredients from NTUC~~

After stir frying....

The noodle is abit Q~~
and really delicious...
Simple dinner...which very much satisfied my man... =)

Lao Po Bing 老婆饼

I can declare that...this is the best bake of mine so far!
not because of the taste or presentation..
it's the feel............................


After a bite...My mother and I were so touched..and nearly cried...
you will think that i'm exaggerating...but it's true...

Now i know why some pple say, you can feel the chef's love and hardwork in their food...
*sob sob*
It's a kind of wonderful emotional feeling~which i don't know how to describe further...

So here's my 老婆饼...
baked specially for my folks...including my in laws...

3 kinds of dough...
had some problem with mixing the oil dough as it's really crumbly....
but overcame the difficulty....

this is the candied melon...
first time handling it...

There's quite a few steps to achieve a good crispy kind...



After baking...

Looks like chicken pie... =p
i sent 4hr 30 mins to make 18 of them~~

The filling is soft and sticky...skin super crispy~~
my mum said it's even better than store bought ones!!
because it's baked by her daughter..and specially for them...
I think she can really feel my sincerity and love....
She ate 2 at one go...
and my daddy ate 1...

So happy to see them eat my bakes! with many praises~
Although I don't earn a lot of money for them, but they are definitely proud to have me as their daughter..not because i know how to bake, but other stuffs..

LOVE.............

My next bake will be Tau Sa Bia!
Catered for my folks too~~

Hakka Yam Abacus 算盘子 (vegetarian)

We had some leftover uncooked yam from the yam spiral mooncake~
So my mum wanted to make 算盘子with it....

She made hers and failed, because she thought the flour in the container was tapioca flour,
but it was actually corn flour!
So..the whole dish became mashy...
but it's still tasty!


And i tried my hands on it too..my first time...

mixed yam with tapioca flour and some water...knead till it became a dough...
guessed the quantity and just trying my luck~~

Shaped them up~~
uneven sizes..HEHE

boiled them in water until they float up...

soak in cold water to achieve the QQ texture...

I stir fried it with these ingredients...
black fungus, carrot, mushrooms and garlic...
didn't add in dried shrimps, and i regret...

I tried to make it more wet...
and regret not adding in dried shrimps...
it makes the dish even more fragrant!
for seasoning, i used soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, pepper & sesame oil...

An impromptu attempt! & this was my dinner!
will try it again with more ingredients!

We Love Popiahs!

My daddy, man and me had been craving for popiah for months!
And one of my favourite food for now is confirm popiah!
I didn't like it previously, cos i categorize it as "old people's food" & plain...

So we are gona have some homemade popiah!!

didn't use the traditional kind of popiah skin, because we had no time to get them...

Here are all the ingredients...

Mummy cooked this...
she wanted to cook it with a large piece of pork belly!
but i stopped her!


Dinner time..and wrapping starts..

ugly popiah...

We stuffed lots of ingredients in there!
I downed 3! 1 with prawn and chinese sausage, another 2 with just veggies...


Mummy cooked these yee fu mee with mushrooms too~~
it's very yummy!
I had a little.. =)


We finished dinner...

A nice view from my bedroom~~

& here we are...
going to ast coast park for a walk!

The side gate to the tunnel...

Oooo..wat a lovely night..~~

~~Wantan Mee~~

Wanted to make my own char siew..

Marinated over the night..


don't wanna dirty the oven...
so non bake char siew that i've tried previously was the best option!

Yummy Yummy...

This is lao gong's lunch...

Delivered to him!!!
You can say that i am free..haha..

My mother was kind enough to fetch me there...

And my one hand with Kopi-O another hand with wantan mee+apple!
he very much enjoyed his lunch!
but said it was not enough =(
still craving for more!!! HAHAHA..!!

& this is mine...
i don't eat wantan mee when i'm out..
homemade ones are just right for me!

My char siew~~...

Cai xin~

Wantan...
Was very tempted to deep fry it...
but to be more healthy, just boiled it..

Marinated minced pork with soya sauce, sesame oil, pepper, corn flour...
overnight..

Mee...

I love springy mee!
So need to be fast in cooking for the first time & transfer into cold water,
then back to the hot water again...

Good for lunch and dinner!
