2 May - Beancurd & Nori Vegie Rolls

We love love luuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrve beancurd rolls!
And this time I altered the standard recipe a little bit.

This was completely vegetarian, with mushrooms, vego roast duck, savoy cabbage and choko stuffing and a nori sheet was layed on top of the bean curd to roll the stuffing. A nice little taste was imparted. I quite like this combo.







1 May - Cavalo Nero with Prawn Stock Pasta & Indo Fried Rice

No no no, we didn't eat all these carbs... the fried rice was for lunch tomorrow.
The pasta was dinner and boy was it good!







30 April - Pho (again) and fried rice for lunch tomorrow

Just because I can... I made lunch for tomorrow
and because pho is just lovely to have on a nice cold day





I never knew I liked fried rice until I had to fry my own rice...
And I'm pretty darn good at it, even if I do say so myself :P

29 April - Pancakes (Breakfast), Roast lamb, Quince and Icecream

Who wouldn't want to wake up to these fluffy little babies?
I'm so lucky to live with such a wonderful bunch of girls :)
You ladies are awesomeness!

Blueberry pancakes with cream for breakkie


Roast lamb with roasted vegies and gravy.



Boiled quince, with ice cream and mint. Delicious

28 April - Baked Squid, Cheese Souffle and Scallops on Pureed Cauliflower

A pleasant little luncheon at home with some good friends for company and Paolo (bless your soul) supplied the sweets.








27 April - Home Made Pho








26 April - Tofu, Cabbage and Smoked Oyster Omelette

I've been slack with uploading... sorry... life and such, you know the deal...

Omelette with smoked oysters

Stirfried savoy cabbage with garlic
I have to say, savoy cabbage must be my new favourite vegie. So sweet, so versatile, so easy to prepare, so cheap and it lasts FOREVER!

Kimchi (shop-bought, not home made)

Steamed tofu with soy, garlic and oil. Yum-ness in its most simple form

Sheer laziness.

18 April - Station Hotel - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Steak. Just give us the steak. Make it good, alrighty?

Thanks,
Love, the family...

Et voila, the meal with various cuts of delicious steaks.

Creme Caramel
The best I've had anywhere by far.

And you cannot have a birthday without cakes, and we prefer ours from Chez Dre :)
Ok, now I don't really remember what all of these fabulous concoctions were...
The salted caramel eclair (Smack bang in the centre! My all time favourite)
Lemon tart (the yella one, of course)
Berry mousse cake thing (the red globe at the top)
Tea flavoured mousse thingy (the oval chocolate thing on the right)
Blackberry cake thingy...(the long brown thing at top left)
Macarons (basil, raspberry, pistacios and tonka bean)
