DIY BBQ Pork

Ooooo, I found this recipe and make my first Bak Kwa. It tasted as good as those sold outside. But I wondered if it is cheaper to buy than to DIY....lol

After mixing the minced pork with the ingredients, roll it over with a plastic sheet on top so that the pork would not stick to the rolling pin.

Baked them on parchment paper.

Hurray, my Bak Kwa is all ready....hahaha....yummy. Do cut out the black burn ends as they are not healthy.

I need to bake a few times cause my portable oven is too small.

Lastly the worst problem was that my youngest son gobble all the bak kwa before I can finish the 3rd tray. So I had to lock my kitchen door to prevent him from attacking the final tray (lol). But he is smart to climb through the bar counter beside the kitchen door by opening the window above the counter....Help!!!!

Note: Bakkwa, or rougan is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky, made in the form of flat thin sheets. It is normally made from pork.

Jia Xiang Kolo Mee

These noodles were flown from Sarawak, being Sarawak's signature noodles. The noodles tasted very good but the portion seems so small and little. I could finish in 4 or 5 mouthful....lol.
The above is the traditional version of the Sarawak Kolo Mee.

This is the curry chicken noodles version .

Dumpling soup
You could find these kolo mee at Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee Restaurants in mot part of Singapore. One of these restaurants could easily be found at Vivo City's basement.

This is a very easy dish to do but need about 2 and half hours to steam it.

Steam for about 2½hours using low fire. Serve hot.
Note:
(1) Please keep checking water don't dried up when steaming. If you are forgetful, it is alway useful to set a timer with ringing sound for every 20 mins.

(2) Always opening the cover of a steaming wok/pot away from you and let the steam escape before you looked inside the food. The steam can burn you.

Sticky Rice Cafe at Ang Mo Kio Hub

The cafe has a funny name called Sticky Rice, a very small cozy Thai cafe at Ang Mo Kio Hub. Hubby and me decided to have our lunch here because it was so hot outside.

Pineapple Fried Rice - $7.90 - yummy, this is so good, I could taste the big chunk of pineapple when I eat the rice.

Thai Laksa-$7.90 - not spicy at all - this is good too but I prefer it to be a bit more spicy. The laksa had a lot of ingredients in it.

Here's how the noodle looked when I scoop them out from the Laksa gravy.
Note: Price of food is correct at the time of posting this information.
