Amercian Carrot Cake

Carrot cake with cheese cream for my sister's birthday. Something different from the usual cream cakes that we get from the bakery. The recipe adapted from Alex Goh's Fruit Cake Book. A slight different from those we get from the cafes. This is on the soft and moist side while those that I have tried from cafes are more on the dry and hard side.

Thai Pineapple Rice

Bought this Thai Pineapple Rice paste by Asia Home Gourmet from the supermarket and tried it over the weekends. Taste was quite all right considered all right. Just add rice, prawns, chinese sausage and of course pineapple. I used pineapple out from the can and it gave the rices some sweetness.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR

No updates for my blog site as I have been busy lately with work and also with selling pineapple tarts to some friends.

Thanks to all that have been supportive to make it happen. :)

Cola Ribs

Behold not to be decived by the look of this dark looking ribs. It tastes pretty good and very simple to cook.

Cola Ribs Recipe (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
500-600g pork ribs
2 tbsp of Lee Kum Kee Cha Siew Sauce
2 cans of cola

Method:

1. Clean the pork ribs and drain excess water. Place ribs in a cooking pot
2. Massage well the Cha Siew Sauce with the pork ribs.
3. Pour 2 cans of cola into the ribs and let it stand at room temperature for 1hour.
4. Cook the ribs over high heat for about 30mins.
5. Lower heat to simmer for another 10-15mins till the cola dries up or until the meat is tender. (Watch the ribs when the cola is almost dried up and stir reqularly)

Tip:

Cook till gravy is thick if you want some gravy for for your rice. Alternatively cook till gravy dries up totally and coat the ribs. I refer to leave some gravy for mine.

Purchased some vegetarian squid from NTUC where this sales aunty was promoting it. Cooked sweet sour vegetarian squid. Pretty simple dish, no stir frying, just boil the sauce and put in the mock squid. The texture of the squid can be described as 'QQ'. Nice.
