19 November 2011 - Saturday Night Pot Luck

Lu had a few friends over for a pot luck/ mini house warming party (I think this is the way we're gonna be going about it... individual house warming parties)

Anyways, back to the food. This was the spread!


Looks good eh?
So what is it you ask?
Well, it's a rice paper roll with prawn, mango, caviar and kewpie sauce and it was DELISH!


Here we go with the wrapping...
Wrapping of the most awesome parcel of flavours.

And here is another parcel ready to be wrapped, oh yeah we are in the wrapping mode tonight!
Sweetened coconut filling, pandan crepe
The flavours of my heart and soul *Sigh*


And here are the finished product, a few dodgy looking ones but most of them turned out pretty darn good if we do say so ourselves :)
Oh, and forgot, we also made a salty coconut cream sauce to go with it.
*DROOLS*



The entire spread...
Fruit punch, mustache cookies, felafel balls 3 ways, jerk chicken, mango prawn rice paper rolls, pumpkin risotto, and pandan crepes.

Didn't make it in the photo include: Earl grey tea pannacotta (in the fridge), and bean salad (we just forgot about it cos there was so much food)


Up close and personal with the rice paper rolls.
Yum-ness


Jerk chicken, the most incredible flavours you can possibly imagine


Spinach and ricotta pie, tasty!

In honour of Movember, and since us ladies cannot grow one, someone made mustache cookies instead


A little bit here and a little bit there
Ricotta Spinach pie, jerk chicken, rice paper rolls, felafels with garlic yoghurt sauce (felafels of sweet potato, zucchini and carrot), and pumpkin risotto

13 November 2011 - BBQ Pork Ribs

I know I know I know...
BBQ meat AGAIN?! Yup... but this time, I tried a different BBQ sauce recipe...

This one I just made up on the spot...
Hoisin sauce, tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and fingers crossed that it will taste ok...

Next time, we're gonna try a dry rub rather than a sticky sauce on ribs...


What it looked like coming out of the oven...
Totally awesome!
(as if there would be any other word to describe this....)

Awesome pork ribs


Because I'm so in awe of its awesomeness, here's another pic to drool over

So on our trusty old Blue, we have apple and cabbage slaw, BBQ pork, roasted pumpkin, and garlic chives

12 November 2011 - BBQ Chicken drummettes

What to do with a kilo of chicken drummettes?
Hmm....

Add ad-hoc bbq sauce, roast et TADAH!
Finger lickingly good BARBECUE CHICKEN!


So, from top left, bbq chicken drummettes, mashed pumpkin, scalloped potatoes, asparagus with mustard sauce and feta





Scalloped pototoes are always great, we only made these cos we had cream to use up...



Asparagus with mustard sauce and feta (and feta was to be used up....)

Oh, the things one can do with a bunch of left over ingredients... :)
