Luncheon Meat Made Fancy

Omg guys! How long has it been since we last updated this blog? Back then, both of us were so busy with work, life and what's not. Now, things have changed.. Well, you know, there is a common saying that goes "change is the only constant".

So anyhow, we will be blogging about food from two different places, namely, Singapore and Ipoh. The transition from a city to a laid back town has been really tough, but I made it (I really wanted to believe I made it even though I still bleed Singapore). 

Ever since I became a mother and at home most of the time, I try to make dinner 3 times a week. I will be sharing my culinary experiences here albeit without any measurements as I do not follow measurements precisely when it comes to cooking. I always go with my gut feelings.

Have been thinking about making sushi at home and managed to find some recipes online. However, the lack of ingredients + the laziness to get to a supermarket changed my mind. So I started being creative and this is what I ended up with.. 

It is surprisingly good and my husband loves it! 

Luncheon Meat and Egg Rice Rolls

(For 2)

Cal-rose Rice                    1 cup

Luncheon Meat/Spam     1/2 can

Eggs                                2

Soya Sauce                     

Salt

White pepper powder

Japanese Cucumber

Japanese Mayonnaise

Chilli Sauce

Roasted Seaweed

I soaked the rice grains for 30 mins and cooked it with about 1.8 cups of water. The texture and stickiness of the rice turned out perfect. Cook the meat and eggs like how you normally would. And remember to wet your hands before handling the rice!

As I didn't mix the rice with sushi vinegar, I believe any ingredients will work. Just make sure whatever you use is well seasoned as the rice is tasteless ;) It is a very versatile idea, isn't it. Now, get your creative juices rolling! 

Xoxo,

Modesto's and Dolce Tokyo

I realise it's a REALLY late Valentine's Day post. But here it is. We had a BFF dinner for Valentine's day on short notice.

Or else....

Anyway, after we have our whole indecisive ritual about where to eat, we decided Modesto's. I've seen it around a lot, especially when E and I used to work together at a certain huge mall. So we've finally got down to trying it.

It's always nice to be served the bread basket, but it would ALWAYS be better if the bread was warm and toasted. Unfortunately this wasn't..... C'mon, just throw it in the oven for a bit.

Bread with Olive Oil.

After glancing over at other tables, I got a bit worried that the portions might be too big, so we shared an appetizer and main course.

Squid Ink Pasta

Washing it down with beer

For dessert, because we are such failures, we couldn't find a Fruit Paradise which we wanted to eat in Orchard. Did it close? I swear I thought there was one. So after searching high and low, we ended up at Dolce Tokyo.

This is by the people who opened MOF(Ministry of Food) and LENAS.

Chocolate brownie with Gelato

I actually wanted the one with flambe bananas... but they got our order wrong. 

This wasn't a very exciting Valentine's Day for us. But I hope yours went much better!
