Lemon & Rosemary Chicken with Chickpea Salad

I'm glad that our first episode of "Wedding Trilogy" had ended, still a month plus before the back to back second and grand finale. And I finally found some time in the kitchen, once again.

I have been looking forward to cook myself dinner after work again, even before my first episode. I once again, shopped for food magazine, and couldn't wait to experiment them! Today, finally! =)

This recipe was meant for pork in the magazine, but I used chicken. And, it's actually under healthier recipe, but due to the fact that I always associate healthy food with not-too-delicious food, I refused to follow the recipe 100%. However, well, it really turned out very unhealthy! So, I promised, I'll do a lighter version on my second attempt.

But oh boy, I'm proud of myself. I sent a picture of my dinner to the Man, and he said with this look, I can sell it at $20. Hahaha!!! *proud*

Please click here for the original recipe.

As for my own version, instead of lean meat, I bought chicken thigh. And I chose to fry the chicken with butter. And, I didn't use onion, just because I'm lazy. I sprinkle a little of lemon juice and pepper on the salad before serving.

Do try this at home, it's really good ^.^

Baked Potato

Photobucket

I love potatoes a lot, I cook them in all forms.

I pan fried them, mashed them, cooked them in soup, make potato salad etc. The easiest and my favourite (cause it's so easy for lazy people) is to bake them. Oven is one of the best invention one can find in kitchen.

My favourite is to bake mini potatoes. We can normally get a packet of approximately 30 mini potatoes less than $2 in Shop & Save. For lazy people like me, please remember to get the pre-washed potatoes.

Ingredients:
1. Potatoes (duh~)
2. Bacon (It's always better to get streaky bacon, but for healtier choice, you can always chose back bacon)
3. Butter
4. Grated Parmesan cheese
5. Rosemary and some mixed herbs
6. Salt
7. Pepper
8. Olive oil

 Method:
1. Wash the potatoes
2. Cut the potatoes into halves (If you get big potatoes, dice them)
3. Marinate the potatoes with salt, pepper, rosemary, mixed herbs
4. Mean while, heat up the oven to 200 degree Celcius.
5. Dice the bacon
6. Place a piece of Aluminum foil on the baking pan and spread butter on the foil
7. Arrange the potatoes nicely on the butter 
8. Spread the bacon evenly on top of the potatoes
9. Spread the grated cheese on top of the bacon. Alternately, you could spread them before serve
10. Put the potatoes into preheated oven for 25-30minutes
11. When the potatoes are nicely baked until golden brown, serve :)

Tied the Knot

This is the excuse I have for being not very active and not very committed in my photography hobby this year.

Yes, we've tied the knot last weekend with blessings and wishes from friends & families =)

旺角金鱼街

到香港之前,慧妮问我想要到哪里。我说,我已经到过香港,对我而言,没有特别想去的地方,所以他们应该跟着他们的计划,我随行就可以。不过,我有个小要求,就是要去旺角。要去金鱼街。

九年前,到旺角觉得这各地方很特别。特别的乱,特别的吵,特别的挤⋯⋯街名也很特别。雀仔街、金鱼街、通菜街、女人街、花园街、西洋菜街⋯⋯

喜欢金鱼街,因为金鱼街真的卖金鱼。还有很多很多宠物。各式各样,这里的宠物店简直是没得比。

尖沙嘴映月楼点心

在香港,吃点心是不可错过的事情。

我们住的酒店,就在尖沙嘴。因此,也就找找附近有什么好吃的点心。在网上搜搜,看见了这间“映月楼”。网友们说得不错,我们就决定试一试。

映月楼的餐牌


映月楼坐落于文化中心(就在Star Avenue旁),一面吃点心,还可以一面欣赏海景,看看对面的中环。我们吃点心的那天,天空一场的晴朗。虽然不是在街上游走的好天气,但绝对是坐在室内欣赏风景的好日子。

我们仗着人多,点了一桌的食物!

整体地说,这家点心楼不是最好吃的点心楼。不过,水准很是均衡。吃完点心,虽然有感觉比较普通的菜色,却没有一道是难吃的。我还是最喜欢奶黄包和荷叶饭。加上美景,这个地方确实不错。
