Steamboat @ Tung Castle

Lucky me! I was invited to the Tung castle for LingT's Homecoming steamboat dinner. There was so so much to eat!!. As most of the invitees were Chinese takeaway tycoons of some sort lol we had really good food. Check out the scallops, the prawns, dumplings, fish cakes and the noodles. This definately wasn't your student prepared steamboat in a rice cooker. On top of that, there were also beef stews and chicken teriyaki sticks !!!

One of LingT's Aunt made Tang Yuen with PEANUT BUTTER!!!.. Good Substitute eh!

And this was my favourite!!!.. TAU HUEY!!!!!!.. Silky smooth goodness man.. It came in a PAIL!!!! LOL!!



Thanks LingT for the invite!!! I was really full by the end.

Tungsista4's Graduation Meal

We celebrated Tungsista4's graduation with a meal at the Grill on the corner. The place was furnished with a chic modern look for lots of dinning area and an adjoining bar area. The group of us were entitled to a long high table in a private corner.

Banger's and Mash made using Riley's Cumberland Sausages with mash and onion gravy

Chicken Pot Pie.

Sirloin Steak

11oz Ribeye

Queenie Scallops pan fried in garlic butter served with linguine.

Fish and Chips with some mushy peas on the side.

Chicken Fajitas with onions peppers and sides.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Chocolate Tarte tatin?

The meal was good and the 40% discount made it all the merrier. I just wished they grilled the steak according to our preferences. It was slightly overdone and luckily I anticipated that and went for a lower degree of doness.

Thank you to TUng1 for buying the meal.

Dinner with the Tungs

I love this dish when i was younger. Mum used to make it for me and her's still taste better even up till today.

Made a couple of mistakes with this dish today though. Firstly, I refused to use the teflon frying pan. Instead I decided to use my non-seasoned non-stick wok.. :(.. Secondly... I have forgotten to add soy sauce.. haha the girls must be wondering why it tasted bland lol. I did try to cover it up with some salt but it just never tasted the same.

Ingredients
-----------------
- 6 eggs
- 200g mince pork (chinese supermarket pork is better as it has higher fat content. of course if u are health conscious go for the English supermarket mince as they have a higher lean meat content)
- 3/4 tbsp of light soy sauce for every 2 eggs (use abit of agaration laa..)

Heat oil till hot. Drop in the egg mixture. Pan fry. Do the flip if you can. Serve hot with spring onions.

Bought this sauce from Singapore when i came back this time round. Another great product from Lee Kum kee. Most people are quite accustomed to the taste of their black bean sauce but I wanted something with an added kick.

What I like about it is the right balance of spiciness and saltiness. Taste Gooooooodd!!!...

Ingredients
- 1 Packet chicken wing (approx 8-9 wings)
- 2 table spoon LKK spicy bean sauce
- 1 table spoon oyster sauce
- drizzle of sesame seed oil
- some mince garlic

Heat the oil till hot. Stir fry the garlic. Throw in the chicken wings. Fry for a bit till its brown. Cover and simmer. (add some water if it dries up). Pour in the sauces. Stir and continue to simmer for about 10 - 15 mins.
Serve with Spring onions.


*Spring onions are fantastic for garnishing and can be quite versatile in chinese or english cooking. Keep them in a bag to prevent them from drying out.

*Throw some sliced red chilli and green chilli in for added spiciness and colour

TrioD is my lazy way of calling a dessert made up of a cake, icecream and a fruit. Its extremely easy to fix together and when presented elegantly can a classy item. Thanks to the girls for providing the victorian sponge cake and strawberries.

Served 4 people with sufficient leftovers for 2 more helpings.
