cooking 7-10

I havent been taking any pictures of Ahyi's cooking...becoz it seems she ALWAYS cook the same old stuffs with the same old seasonings in my fridge! So...i actually bought a few cookbooks a few days ago! She can read them when she's free. Haha! ;)

Ahyi has been here for a month. Other than these food (below), i've been eating McDonalds, KFC & Pizza Hut...and of course, can-never-fail-me instant noodles.

Cooking 7
- Hong Shao Pork
- Prawns with same chili/black bean sauce

Cooking 8
- Chicken with soya sauce
- Fried Eggs with Prawns

Cooking 9
- Chicken with soya sauce
- Steam egg (a special request)

Cooking 10 : Yesterday
- Soup (a special request)
- Prawns with ketchup sauce (mine is still nicer coz hers is oily and smells/tastes of ginger)

I think the reason why she doesnt know how to cook many things is becoz she is very "picky" with food and she has never eaten at restaurants before. She always puts lots of ginger slices in every dish. And since the portion is very small, the smell is pungent - even worse than Confinement Food! She has cut down on the Chinese Yellow Wine now that she knows i dont like it.

Whenever she sense (from my face) that the dish doesnt look "the way it should look", she will ask me if the ones i've eaten "outside" looks the same. BUT, all the dishes are not fancy food (eg. fried eggs with prawns). Arent they very common 家常菜 home-cooked dishes???!!!

Actually, she has...but she seems more keen to look at the food her son likes (coz she says he's very picky too). She was amazed that even fruits can go into making soups!

In any case, McDonalds never fail me too...and it's super quick! Haha! ;)
