Sheperd's Pie

Another bake trial my mom and i did..

Sheperd's Pie!

it is famously known to have mash potatoes and minced meat (commonly beef) in a pie form

if you have not tried it.. please do.. u will love it..

we decided to make our favorites and indulge in our creation

it was a success making these.. and my mom is contemplating on selling if we can get a demand of it..

we used yummy minced mutton, self made mash potatoes and CHEESE! we enjoyed it so much.. we have finished half of it..

do note that are only 3 of us in the house.. keke..

therefore not enough to bring out and share unless i make somemore.. =)

we wanted some side dish to go along otherwise my pie is going to be lonely.. so we made prawn salad.. and we used *ladies hold on to your chairs*

MENTAIKO salad dressing!

i can see why alot of us jus love this mentaiko dressing.. my mom and i agreed that it tastes BETTER than the famous thousand island..

both compliments each other very well on a plate..

my next bake on the schedule:

PINEAPPLE TARTS

yumz.. to be done this weekend...

anyone interested in having a taste of it.. do leave a comment or contact me personally for some.

i am drooling thinking of them. and am excited to be making them at the premise of my own home.. how cosy.. =)

Quiche

Quiche is one of my favorite pies..

it was originated somewhere in Europe and with an oven its worth trying to make one..

its not hard to make.

especially when i do not need to do the crust myself..

I am grateful that there are ready made short crust selling in cold storage.. and all i need to concentrate on are what fillings i am going to put in them..

The Short Crust pre baked

grated cheese was added at the bottom of the crust..

ingredients added are

Spinach, Ham and Mushroom (cooked in advance)

followed by adding the creamy filling that binds it all together..

and off to bake!

it turned out pretty!

we will need to cool the quiche abit before eating otherwise we will be eating chawanmushi instead.. keke

tadah! the final product and i am elated about it...

 

Cookie Member!

i am back with my membership card! and of course enjoyed my free pot of tea...

mmm..

they changed their decos of the tins.. very nice and more victorian than ever la!

Spicy Salmon Quiche..

yums de lo..

warning: do not be alarmed by the amount i bought.. and do not be disappointed by the amount i bought after reading this.. keke

Fried Rice on a Cookie..

how cool is that~!

the actual looking cookie..

Bear Huggers is yummy when sampling.. very dark chocolatey..

(who am i kidding not yummy i buy for wad?!)

This is another cool cookie...

imagine having Muesli on a cookie.. how amazing!!

i am told to savor them tin by tin.. so the last 2 tins were not opened yet.. will show off the insides of the last 2 flavors when i reached them.. *takes Q number for them*

being able to make up quite abit.. i realised i enjoyed being narcissistic in great moods! <3

O.V.E.N!

YEAH!!! after harping about it for more than a year.. i finally have an oven sitting in my kitchen!

*jumps around*

After much research Rowenta seem to be one of the best ovens I know so far..

so i bought this cookie mix from NTUC

instructions behind packet

(but nvr follow very closely.. >"< )

instead of half cup i put one cup of butter..=X

this is how the mix look like

added in the butter.. and rubbing it in with the mix..

tadah the cookie dough...

ps: it is nt to be this wet.. its suppose to be dough! not so sticky..

New Found Japanese! OISHI!

Was at Novena yesterday with mommy.. and we found this for lunch!

Tomi Sushi

the saucers were cute.. each have a different seafood picture on it...

my mom almost ask me to smuggle one home.. -.-'''

they are pretty detailed with their sauce which we rarely see in other jap restaurants.

the artistic green tea cup..

We ordered set meals..

mine is

Salmon don set..

The fish is fresh.. they even have extra salmon bits at the side of the bowl..

*drools*

add $3 and i have additional Soba to go with it....

this place is very Nom nom worthy.. during lunch they have set orders that are pretty affordable yet no quality indifference!

my salmon don set include the soba is $18..

not expensive right?!

now i know what to have for lunch when i am there...

a new option yippies~!

Addictives~

MAT KIMICHI

i have finished 3 bottles of kimichi which i bought for consumption so far..

and i am loving it..

it was recommended by my gp when i have my constipation issue.. and there is not looking back after that!!

Simply yummy.. and its one of the healthiest tibits i have..

TIBITs?! O_O!

yes! because whenever i feel like eating i will take a handful out of the bottle and munch in front of my comp.. kekes

other than having it as tibit or snack..

I tried having cold toufu with kimichi too.. simply lurves!

My second addiction (definitely not my last)

CUPCAKES!!

Have been seeing pictures on facebook that alot of friends bought the cupcakes from them with raves.. and now its my turn to rave after trying it at the end of november.!

Double Choc cupcake...

very chocolatey.. suitable for chocolate lovers...

this is my other favorite.. not only because its red.. but also taste great!

i personally like the personal touch of heart shape confetti on top.. keke

psst: if nothing goes wrong.. i should be getting an OVEN this Friday!! my neck was very long and still is while finalising this one.. yippes!! means i can bake my own cupcakes!!

my other craves which i have not got bored of... PEPPER LUNCH! i can never get enough of the cheesy goodness.. whenever i have a chance i will say PEPPER LUNCH please! =X
