Cooking home meal.

Home cooking is cooking international food.
Fish is best bake, stream, or grill. Remove the scales, wash the fish and marinate the fish with pan salt, or light soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. You will find that your fish will not be dry when cooked. For grilling, I love to grill my fish in low temp.160C. The meat become dry if the temperature is high. For streaming the flame must be high. If the fish is very fresh streaming is prefer. Pan frying,your kitchen will be oily, and not healthy to consume. No point poaching unless you want to serve it with a sauce.

Creating our dish.

No such thing as you cannot use chinese ingredients to cook western food, can cook fussion food. As long as you like it, just do it. example tofu cook with vegetables any vegetables cut into any size but
keep it to the same size add tomato sauce and tomato puree, a sauce for spaghetti is ok, provided you don't over seasoned.

What to cook today?

Everyday we asked the same questions.
Lets not be hard on ourself. Make it simple, different meat every time, every meal. Just rotate it or not the same for a few days. Not the same type of fish, different method of cooking it. Rotate the vegetables so you get all the nutrients your body need. Remember used only olive oil. Various method of cooking meat, roasting, grilling, pan frying, stewing or even streaming or boiling. Don't used too much msg or booster seasoning, just use herbs....... Cheers.

Vegetable cooking

Kindly use a microwave container for cooking. Pour little water in the container put the cut vegetable in the container to cook. For western food use olive oil, butter or margarine. In a hot pan add the microwave cooked vegetables, toss the vegetables. Serve the vegetables.

Let it be

To most, to be serious about, is not worth it. What is important is to be happy. No amount of money can change it, it only comes with it in the mind that I can do better than that. After all...all my life, trying to do better, and sure can do better, getting the kick in the bum sure is not anyone wrong doing, the reason is sure grow old, when you hit 50. Old shit, get the hell of here, we have a lot a alliens workers, no cpf payments. Look like we locals are good for nothins, Maybe, U yeah, U there can be a taxi driver, oh no you are not good enough, maybe to become a guard, yes perhaps, as a guard, you can close one eye and shut the other and you must learn to keep you big mouth sealed don't complain too much. Just need you to show up. A head count is all the bosses want. Silence is golden. Silence is olden you flicking old shit just keep your mouth zipped and remember don't shit all over the place. Joke is right, to those out there who do not know that every person will grow old, maybe they don't since these people may die soon, but please....... think about it, give the people who are lucky to grow old a better go, give them a sit in the bus, or mrt, or making a living. Be respectful, Any way enjoy cooking your own meals......... nothing better than a good tucker. Cheerios Happy New Year................
