瑤柱蒸水蛋 / Steamed egg with dried scallops

Can't remember the last time when i made this dish, so I searched some tips from the internet. The tricks are, egg to water ratio is 1 : 1.5, and to use another plate to cover the egg during steaming.  See it is so perfect.  I can't believe it!!!  the best steamed egg i ever done!!!

Pan fried plaice, served with portobello mushrooms, red peppers and onions pasta in Philadelphia cheese sauce

Watched TV ad many times about using Philadelphia Cheese to cook with pasta, so I have tried it finally.  Not bad.  A very easy way to have a cheesy creamy sauce!!!

The pan fried plaice is lovely too. 

Lemon pound cake

This is a lemon drizzle cake but without the syrup.  My second try but still not good.  It is a bit undercooked :-S

The beef is sealed, ready for roast with potatoes, carrots and onions.  Lots of peppers, rock salts, parsleys and thyme.

Ready!!  Also served with broccoli and mussels!!!

燜牛筋腩 / Stewed beef briskets and tendon

salt & pepper tofu

鎮江五花腩 / pork belly cuts cooked in sweet chinese vinegar sauce

i didnt use ribs but pork belly instead to make this dish.

ribs here having not much meat and fat, so they do not taste good when cooked in 鎮江 style

and here they are pork belly, taste really really good!!!  

definitely will cook this again!!!

蒿子桿

想不到在英國也買到蒿子桿，很好吃啊！

叉燒 / Char siu

I have bought a very nice pork fillet and thinking it must be perfect for making char siu.

with 3 sp of char siu sauce + 2 sp wine + 1 sp dark soy sauce, i marinated this pork fillet overnite and have it roasted and glazed with a layer of honey.

once done, i realised the pork fillet is soooo lean, with no fat at all!!!!!

i should buy fatty pork chop next time.    anyway, it is worth for try, a health eating for mr chen.

Lemon drizzle cake

I made this lemon drizzle cake from the recipe here
http://colehillkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/06/super-moist-lemon-drizzle-cake.html

my first time to bake a cake in a loaf tin and i love it

with weeks of attempts to find poppy seeds in all supermarket but failed, i used hazelnuts instead.  u can see the top bits are hazelnuts. 

the cake is moist and lemony.  very refreshing to enjoy in summer days now!!

Stirfry: beef, baby corn, mushrooms, onions

Chinese leaves cooked with dried shrimps

燉豬腿 / Leg of Pork stew

紅燒豆腐鯛魚 / Braised Seabream with tofu

椒鹽蝦拼豆腐 ／ Salt and Pepper Prawns with Tofu

因為蝦不太夠，所以加了豆腐，變成椒鹽蝦拼豆腐。

紅紅的顏色是因為蝦膏，不乾不濕剛剛好，所以特別好吃。
