The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part II - Don't quote pics!

Onions in our garden have beautiful tops on them now, took a bunch of the stronger ones and whizzed them up with a little chilli rapeseed oil, pinenuts, garlic & salt/pepper to make a sort of pesto.
Bit of cream cheese and cream then stirred through penne with some mangetout

^^ That pasta looks delicious!

My dinner was very simple; baked salmon with lashings of lemon juice, salt and pepper, garden peas and homemade wedges (with a dollop of Thousand Island). It was also much later than anticipated so I was far too hungry to take a photo

Treated myself to a new pickle spoon. Really living the high life over this way, oh yes indeed.



After 3 days of eating, honestly, nothing but chicken goujons, cake and jelly beans [Thinking of it now, I now know what my life would have been like if I'd gotten my childhood wish to find the Faraway Tree and move into the Land of Birthdays. Constantly nauseous but still shovelling back fistfuls of mini mars bars compulsively] I needed vegetables, nutritious things, protein, green things and things that weren't breadcrumbed. So defrosted some homemade baked beans and added them to fried peppers, quorn chunks, and an egg in a terracotta dish (so I wouldn't have to wash more than one dish) then covered it all in jalapenos and coriander. No more scurvy for me!!

Tonight we had Brisket and baked sweet potato, used a recipe for a sauce I found on here for bbq ribs and it worked brilliantly in the slow cooker will be using this one again.

Mother of God that looks amaazing. I've said it before but the standard here is soo high. That photo could be uploaded to the Photography forum!!

I made a lasagne with a load of herbs from the garden (oregano, parsley, corriander and sage). Had it last night and it was fab.

I've actually been finding the joy of strongly flavoured 'simple/base food'.

Few things can beat a big chunk of homemade bread with two fried eggs thrown on top. No salt or pepper, just that :P

The above was my dinner yesterday.

Saturday we have a stuffed pork lion with chorizo and bacon stuffing.

Sunday we went out for dinner, we had thai food. I had a bamboo noodle dish with beef as mains, sweetcorn fritters as a starter, too stuffed for desert.

Yesterday, we made a big meal.

Series of appetizers: sun dried tomato and mozzarella picks, jaleneo peppers stuffed with chorizo and cream cheese wrapped in bacon, garlic and chilli prawn skewers

the main was cheesy ham hassleback chicken (chicken fillet, with slices cut horizontally like hassleback potatoes and filled with ham and cheese). Then we had different veg and different style of potatoes (wedges with garlic and paprika seasoning, mashed spuds, roast spuds and croquets)

Dessert was peach cobbler.

So good!!

Roti Bom (a miniature and crispier version of Roti Canai), with homemade beef curry by my dear sister.

Long leisurely lunch today. Posh dim sum in The Sheraton Towers. Many familiar dishes to me with a few new things. The big surprise for me was that I liked the egg done three ways - fresh egg, salted egg and century old egg with spinach and the odd aloe Vera with black jelly dessert was strangely nice. The pork and vegetable soup was nice but ordinary. Lots of prawn dumplings and beef brisket noodles too. Overall-another fantastic meal.

Not realising we had dim sum for lunch, our lovely hosts brought home more dim sum for a small meal for us-no complaints from me, I love dim sum.
Char su buns, shui mail, what I know as vada from Iyers in cork but had a different name here and the star of the show - fresh mangosteen and lychees.
More Chinese with a little Indian via Malaysia. I've still to have a poor meal here

My meals are always pretty simple; I rarely cook anything 'fancy' but rather try make the most of simple foods. A lot of that is probably down to having a student budget!

Grilled zander fillets dusted with hot paprika, garlic powder, S&P and a drizzle of lemon rapeseed oil.

Steamed broccoli, orange pepper, mangetout and red onion.
Mish mash sauce of sweet chilli, honey, balsamic & wholegrain mustard.
Strange but good!

Oh and a cabbage roll as I found a lunchbox of some I made a while ago in the freezer:)

Keeping it simple..nice bitta rump steak, brown basmati and a basic sauce of juices from the pan mixed with some home made garlic butter. Comfort food fora cold rainy day!

I've definitely got to get more dare-ing in the kitchen!!:D (Sounds like a FAB dinner)!

Being awhile, love this green egg. Late night bread dipped in oil, brown for the morning. Never thought I'd be baking bread with charcoal

Tonight we had a bacon piece chopped up with mushrooms and onion with Aldi tomato and mascarpone stir through sauce with some fresh cream added. Served with tagliatelle. It was thoroughly delicious.

Elbow

Chicken salad with garlic bread,

The chicken had been marinating in harissa & yogurt for a few days.........Yum!

And so the adventure continues:D
Hawker centre for lunch again today. I love these places - really great food and very very cheap but there is no snobbish sense of the food being inferior or unclean that you would get at home.

Chicken rice, egg fried oysters and pak choi. Beef noodles with tripe and tendon. Ice kachang - a gaudy dessert of shaved ice, pandan, condensed milk, red beans, sweet corn, lots of sugar and who knows what else.

Seriously impressed with everyone ...going to have to up my game ....I'm getting left behind !!

Smallish take away dinner from the local hawker centre (huge, must have over 100 stalls - I suspect the locals never eat at home, why would they when food is this good and this cheap).
Satay again but Chinese style this time with much nicer compressed rice cake than the last ones, flat noodles with cockles and sliced fish cake - one with sweet soy sauce and one without.
Lots of fruit again - mangosteen, papaya and lychees. I think mangosteen is my new favourite fruit:D

Then some very smelly but very tasty beer nibbles - Ikan bilis dried anchovy fried with peanuts and chilli .

Chattastrophe!

Roasted ratatouille chicken.





Well it's called that according to the recipe, but I'm not sure if it's really ratatouille without the fancy arrangement of the veg!

Messy but yum.

Big, glutinous toasted steak roll with mushrooms, melted brie and cherry tomatoes on shredded carrot and mixed salad leaves... bit of melted butter underneath of course. Plus some sweet potato mash with asparagus spears and crumbled feta on top (only had a few days left on the feta so threw it on, goes amazingly well with sweet potato, definitely recommend trying it!).

Slightly overcooked the steak since I trough the full roll under the grill for two minutes at the end to melt the cheese and warm/soften the tomatoes but still damn tasty.

You should try Chendol.

Hopefully none!
I'm swimming every day and hardly drinking any beer! Good food in moderation shouldn't be an issue - almost no fat people here either.
Also, most of what I picture is shared between 4.

I treated himself to Eddie Rockets, he had the chicken tenders basket and I went for the Cajun buffalo wings and fries.

I'm still having post-meal nostalgia
