Braised spare ribs with potatoes and carrots in slow cooker

Decided to braise pork spare ribs in the slow cooker.

Got some nice looking spare ribs from the wet market, about 500 gm of spare ribs.

Mixed with some minced onion, minced garlic and minced ginger.

Made a sauce or any BBQ sauce.

Marinated overnight.

Next morning, I just took the marinated spare ribs from the fridge and throw into the slow cooker. I placed some potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker. Cooked on high for about 4 hours. After two hours, I opened the lid and turned the spare ribs over and continue to cook for another two hours (total 4 hours).

It was so yummy and easy to cook(the slow cooker do all the cooking), no messy kitchen.

Steamed Gourmet at Kopi Tiam Food Court Hougang Mall

During one of the weekend, hubby and me had lunch at Kopi Tiam Food Court Hougang Mall. Came across Steamed Gourmet and decided to eat steamed dishes for heathier choice.

Had their signature dish - Steamed sausages, chicken, mushroom set

Steamed Pork with salted fish but hardly felt any salted fish in the dish but instead got large chunks of the chestnut, wish they could minced the chestnut to smaller pieces (too chunky for senior citizen like us).

We added extra $2 to our total cost for this extra dish of steamed egg. ($1 for one person portion)

On the whole the meal were very tasty and filling for us. Good lunch.

Pizza Express at Scotts Square, Orchard Road, Singapore

Took these photos last month but did not have a chance to post them.

We had a family gathering with siblings and spouses. Decided to have some pizza for tea break at Pizza Express, they have large sitting area and able to cater to huge group.

Pizza Express was located at Scotts Square, Orchard Road.

I cant remember the names of the pizza cause they were ordered by my sister. I thought pizza normally comes in round shape, this rectangular pizza looked cute and tasted so good too. Was actually still quite full from lunch but was so tempted by the good looking pizza that I cant resist eating even though I was so full hahaha.

I had English Breakfast tea while the rest all ordered differently. (Did not take photos of their drinks.)

Steamed potatoes with canned braised penauts using the Electric Lunch Box

This is a very easy dish to make. Sliced the potatoes thinly, add a can of braised peanuts and mix together. Steamed them using my Electric Lunch Box. Added hot water to the base of the pot to quicken the cooking time and steam some fish too. But the fish was cooked just right but the potatoes were still not soft enough, so I removed my cooked fish, and recooked the potatoes the second time round but to remember to add hot water to the base of the pot cause the first round of cooking had already dried up the water in the base of the pot. The second time cooking was just right, the potatoes were very soft. Yummy.
