Vegetable rice

The chai png ("mixed vegetable rice") I cooked last Tuesday for dinner.

Easy to cook everything in one pot, and the SO ate lots of it. I learnt it from my mum who is a Teochew ah nia.


With chicken, Chinese cabbage, mushrooms and spiced up with ginger, garlic, onions & sesame seed oil

A favourite meal of mine...yum!

Noodles

Noodle soup cooked by the hubby over the Christmas holidays. It was his 3rd attempt at cooking, and he likes thick, flat noodles cooked in a soggy way.

Does this sepia-toned photo look like the noodles sold by hawkers in the olden days?



The soup stock came from a bottle - convenience at your fingertips! :-)

Chicken Shepard's Pie

This is definitely for special occasions, but it's not difficult to make, actually. Even my first attempt was quite well-received. I used Violet Onn's receipe which I'd found on the internet!

The occasion: home pot luck party

(2003)

The smaller portion on the right was a meatless version for vegetarians, with dried mushroom added (nice, but stronger flavour) .
