my yummy baked pineapple tarts..
on sat i stayed at home to bake as well as to prepare to cook dinner.. tried to make some pineapple pattern on the top for some of the tarts.. for my 1st tray to see the results, thereafter the 1st tray is done, i took it out and were rather satisfied so my 2nd tray i did all with pineapple pattern.. hee.. but didnt manage to take a picture of it..
if u noticed, i didnt brush my egg with egg glaze because i prefer the powdery feeling.. besides if the egg glaze is not brushed properly.. i will turn out quite messy..
after knowing my oven temperature and its "attitude" i used 165 degrees and baked for 25 mins.. hee.. this oven is really big.. i baked 2 times using 2 trays and i get 3 bottles.. hee..

my sat dinner..
been wanting to make bak kut teh for dear dear as he loves it.. so went to get the herbs on a weekday night..
first, you need to drain the bak kut with boiling hot water..
next you need to get the herbs and garlic ready..
next, you need a big pot..
ta-da.. u got a pot of yummy soup!
next, i took out my la gourmet pan to do some frying.. since sis and alfred will be coming over for dinner.. i better prepare more dishes..
next, i made some steamed eggs..then, i fry some beansprouts.. my fave. vege.. i had to "tiak" all the roots.. now i know how "lei chei" it is for grandma to cook this for me..
finally, i used the new rice cooker to cook some rice.. thanks mummy & papa for the rice cooker..

my sat lunch..
on saturday, i woke up early to prepare lunch for dear dear and my bro who stays overnight on weekends.. and as usual, he stayed overnight on friday.. hee.. he is hooked onto GH.. this tme he brought along his classmate, elton along to play.. elton is a good boy.. which is of good influence to my brother.. i hope they had fun... but as it was rather late, did not allow them to play after 12 because we do not want the neighbours to complain.. brother, you can bring elton along during cny to my house to play.. :) bring along mandarin oranges and we will give you an angpow.. hehe..
i like to cut and prepare all the ingredients before i start to cook..
my cut ingredients:
1st step: deep fry the onions and luncheon meat to make a luncheon meat meal.. my 1st time deep frying the onions, brother discovered it turned a little too brown though i used dark sauce to camouflage it.. haha.. well, brother made a comment, he said i can cook pretty well! hehe..
ta-da!! presenting the yummy lunch!!
shall bake a pizza real soon & make some pasta this weekend.. hee..
