I asked my fiance to come over to my place and cook lunch together for my family. I figured it would be so much fun, once in a while. In the long run, work will tire me out but activities like this create a meaningful bond between my fiance, family and me. I told my fiance, "No pressure. Once you get up, call me and we'll shop for the ingredients." We got up at noon. I think I should've prepared breakfast first because the food that all of us prepared were ready-to-eat in the evening, which was way over lunchtime and I felt kinda bloated with air in my tummy but I clearly forgot about it!
Anyway, I thought the dishes we prepared on Sunday was not enough but after the complete preparation on the table, it was like a western feast! My brother, and I helped. My fiance was the main chef for the day. He cooks really well compared to me and his mom cooks with perfection. I'll be slowly learning some signature dishes from her in future on my off days, eventually.. I personally think I need to learn fiance's favorite dishes so that he will get use to my novice cooking.
(Yes, apparently, I'm a sad noob cooker.)
Now, let me share with you what's cooking on Sunday:
Fried Chicken. (Fiance's personal recipe) My brother helped him cover the chicken with powder.
We added Daddy's leftover chicken and black sauce to the dining table. Still edible and delicious! Yes, apparently all the important men in my life can cook. My brother will be next. He loves to watch all the food channels on Starhub TV, I'm not surprised if he cook one of those dishes for me to eat.
Salad, Carrots and Cucumber with Thousand island dressing. A lil' bit of a healthy dish to compensate all the overwhelming fat moments,
My parents bought tasty puffs from Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Sardine and Potato flavor. I do not eat potato puff, just so you know. I'm a sardine puff person. I have no specific reason why but it is just a peculiar preference that I have.
Yummy sausages and cheese galore!
Cheese omelette. Another one of my fiance's personal recipe.
I call these two dishes personal because it was the main dish for the day and I'm a big cheese fan!
Last but not least our FAIL fries. We ran out of oil and decided to use the fried chicken's oil to fry our fries. Our fries turned so soggy and totally unappetizing. But, I manage to snap a relatively presentable shot for my blog. Hehe..
We enjoy and fill our tummies with all the hard cooking while watching an ol' skool movie on Star Movies, "Titanic". I must say after all the helping out, it was hella tiring! I hate the cleaning up part.. Nevertheless, I really love preparing meals with my fiance. I treasure this a lot because once I start working, I do not have consistent weekends off.
I hope one day I'll be able to share my recipes and 'how-to-cook a storm' in your very own kitchen!
