Sunday lunch

We had:

- Stir-fried fresh mushrooms,

- Toufu with minced pork, and

- Stir-fried kang kong with vegetarian XO sauce/paste.

Eaten with rice porridge.

Spring onion pancakes and hot & sour soup

We had these at the Lavender Foodcourt, from a stall that sells Shanghainese food.

Szechuan hot & sour soup and spring onion pancakes (葱油饼)

The soup was average, but can't complain lah, since it only cost a dollar or so, and the pancakes were really good and yummy!

Although the pastry looks thick, it didn't taste heavy but was nice and crispy. The chilli dip was shiokado! too and would even go well with chicken.

Freeze dried instant coffee

Two of the freeze dried instant coffees that I've tried recently:

Robert Timms is cheaper and good, a good value for money blend. Beats the Nescafe, Boncafe Organic brands hands down.

Davidoff looks posher and costs more, but was not better in terms of taste. Better to stick to Robert Timms for everyday convenience.

I'd recommended RT to my colleague and she likes it too.

Cauliflower dish & grilled pork chops

This is a simple yet very satisfying dinner that is easy and a time-saver. Just remember to marinate the pork loin the night before.

Grilled pork chops and vegetable dish of leftovers

Just use whatever's available in the fridge - cauliflower, carrots and leftover cabbage

Served with rice, the vegetables shown are enough to serve 2.5 to 3 persons, but are gobbled up by the two of us.
