Pre-Chinese New Year Training

We had the perfect excuse to create a feast last Thursday (together with the surprise of the year, to date!)


It was Paul's birthday.


Of course we had to do something right? (Especially after the "wonderful" face painting on my birthday.)

The surprise... Too long to elaborate. I will skip to the FOOD!

There was so much food that day. We had pork ball noodles, seri muka and the awesome-st chocolate cheese brownies. Bad me for not taking more photos of the food.

A fraction of the stuff for dinner.

Three tier of 500g mince pork. The pork ball (surprisingly) turned out wonderfully. Thanks to the recipe on this site http://kongkay1.blogspot.com/2007/05/yoo-chee-mee-sua-revisitedrevised-pork.html

We made the pork noodle based on that recipe (certainly not for the faint-hearted). In the end, there was enough leftovers for another 3 meals for two people. Wow! The cost = £2 per person, including dessert (not cake).

Thank goodness there is death. For if there was none, the pig inside there would have suffered in hell for way too long.

Pork ball extraordinaires=) Thanks to them the pork ball tasted so good (and Swarna will go, "That sounds so wrong." when she sees this) Oh, caramel pros too.

Just had to post this up=) Doing illegal activities in the kitchen.

Cake of the year! With the chef (aka girlfriend). Haha.. No wonder it tasted so good.

P/S: OK, so this is not the average post for a cooking/baking blog. Oh well.
