I have this weird ‘habit’ – or I’m not sure how should I categorise it. I often got into this ‘craving’ mode whereby I just CRAVE for a type of food, and if I don’t have it, I’ll go crazy. I know I sound like a pregnant women – my mother thought I was pregnant when she realised I behave this way too.
Anyhow. Last night I was suddenly craving for baked rice with cheese and tomato paste. Mmm… sounds good. It was almost midnight and of course, not only there is no one out there selling this, I didn’t want to go out at that hour just for that funny habit of mine too. So I googled, and realised that, hmm, perhaps I could simplify the already-seemed-easy recipe (which by the way, I’ve only quickly glanced through two recipes) and fix my crave at home.
I went down and found some leftover rice. No meat, so I thought I could just fry an egg. No mozzarella cheese, so I thought I could use the cheddar cheese slice for little niece. And no tomatoes! OK never mind, I’ll just use tomato sauce. See when I told you I’ll go crazy if I don’t eat what I was craving for?
So I preheated the oven, heated the pan, fried an egg, added the mixed vegetable, stir in some tomato sauce, and added the rice. And then I placed everything in a bowl and topped it up with a piece of cheddar cheese, and placed it in the oven. This is what I’ve got after approximately 7 minutes.
I swear it will taste really good if I have a tomato, some meat, and mozzarella cheese.
For some unknown reasons I started to have the crave of eating something familiar. Something that was, crunchy, yummy, and nutritious in memory.
So I’ve got this.
Hehe. Yeap. Cornflakes with milk. While it’s supposed to be breakfast, I’ve been having this for supper for a few days, mainly because I have to take a cup of coffee in the morning, and adding milk will make me too full to start my day – oh and I’ve heard that coffee will actually somehow affect the calcium consumption if having together with milk.
Anyway. I like it in small bowl, so the corn flakes don’t get too soft when I’m approaching the last spoonful. I’ll then refill the bowl with more corn flakes and milk. Oh and so far, I like the original one from Nestle best. Nice texture, good feel. :)
Last night me and darl were just in the mood of eating very hungry, so although the dinner wasn’t very light, we were already planning on what to eat for supper just right after our dinner. He suggested to make use of the beef tenderloin that we bought about 2 weeks ago (frozen, of course), while I suggested to make our own dish with oyster mushroom. Ever since I tasted the very yummy oyster mushroom at Parkroyal Hotel, I just kept thinking about the taste. I was never a mushroom fan, but the freshness and the taste… it was just so right! >.<
So at about 9:30pm, we decided to prepare both the dishes to eat along with the movie that we were about to watch. Darl took care of the beef, as usual, and I took care of the oyster mushroom.
Stir fried beef with ginger and garlic in soy sauce. Yummy as usual. :)
Grey oyster mushroom with garlic oil and oyster sauce. I kinda overcooked the mushroom, hence it was a little bit too soft. :/
Good food, good movie, good companion. :D
As we Chinese celebrate Ghost Festival during the seventh lunar month, a colleague/friend of us brought us some really yummy deal last Monday and caused the Hungry Ghosts to appear at home!
The yummy deal was salted chicken with Chinese herbs from Ipoh. I tried to remember the name of the shop printed on the plastic bag but as the Hungry Ghost in me came out, I remembered nothing. :P Four of us (me, darl, and two friends) wiped off two chickens at midnight. :D
Thanks TC for the yummy chics! :D
