Tunglok Seafood

Warning: Photo heavy post! Be prepared to drool :)

Went out with my family to makan a good meal the other day. Tunglok was having a mega national day promo, and of course we wouldn't miss out :)

We started off with a huge serving of Salmon Sashimi. All the slices were thick and juicy and fresh! Super yumms for a salmon lover like me :)

Next, we tried the Crispy Silver Bait Sushi roll. It was a ok only. Nothing memorable.

Featured below is their Coffee Pork Ribs with Almond..

And not forgetting their Deep Fried Prawns with Wasabi-Mayo Sauce... The prawns were super huge, fresh and crunchy!! Definitely bite worthy!

We also had the bean curd with fish maw..

And what dinner would be complete without a good serving of vegetables! In this case, Sambal Kangkong!!

And Beef with sliced garlic..

My cousin wanted to try the Oyster steamed with Garlic. I stayed away from these though. Not an oyster fan, but these oysters were huge!

But the dinner wasn't over.. We still had Lobster Noodles..

And White Pepper Crab.. (You must be thinking how we stomach all these food. Hahah)

But finally, the meal ended with Yam Paste with Gingko Nut! I was so stuffed that I passed on this and just tried a mouthful from my Mum's bowl..

Onion breath... What say u?

If you have not tried Tony Roma's Onion Loaf, my dear, you are missing out on something good here..

The onion loaf here is simply yummy-licious! Filled from top to toe with onion goodness, the loaf is made 100% out of fresh rings of onion, coated in the special secret recipe batter, and fried/baked till crispy. In addition, lather on some of the accompanying sauce and you are in for a treat!

Why I say this dish is awesome? It has won over even someone like me who doesn't eat onions, at all.... :)

Half a loaf is good for sharing between 2 hungry people, or 3 ladies. And it's only $9.90!! :)

Make sure to share the onionly love with your accompanying friends so no one can complain about your onion breath:)

Another round of scrambled..

Did another round of scrambled eggs today. This time they turned out perfectly! :)

For the crossiants, I just dry toasted them in the pan. There is no need for butter or oil, as the crossiants already have a good amount of butter in them. Need to watch the heat the next time as these are kinda too brown already.

Enjoy! :)

Bbuble K

Popped by Bbuble K the other day to check out the surroundings as I heard it was a new cafe in the neighbourhood.

Fronted by 2 mascots of a super piggy called "Zhen Zhu" and this chick called "Ji Dan Zai", the whole concept of the cafe revolves around the story of both of them.

The decor was nice and refreshing, though the chairs looked like they have seen better days.
Didn't manage to capture pics of the surroundings though.

We ordered the basic set which included a 'Ji Dan Zai', which is this egg waffle, especially famous in HK, and a normal milk tea.

Taste wise wasn't super memorable, but it definitely was a different experience, especially with such a huge bubbletea served in a carafe. In addition, as the serving container was so tall, it came with this cute pearl scooping spoon so that you could get to all the pearls at the bottom. Cute! :)

Breakfast is Served!

Breakfast mood is here:)

Got in the mood to make a good hearty breakfast today. Rummaging through my fridge, I decided I'd go with a few of my favourite food items..

Hence, on the menu:
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Scrambled Eggs
Chicken Chipolata

Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
Ingredients -
2 slices of bread
Butter
Mayo
Honey Mustard
3 slices of Cheese

For the grilled cheese sandwich, I tried a different take from my usual, and spread mayo thinly on one slice, and honey mustard on the other slice of bread. Sandwich 3 slices of cheese in between.

For a nice golden brown look, add some butter into the frying pan, for mine I happened to be craving garlic bread, so i just used garlic butter in mine. Place the sandwich in the pan and leave it on its side for 3 mins each. This will give you a nice, crunchy and melty grilled cheese sandwich :)

Slice just before serving, and you can drool at the oozing cheese.

Chipolata:
Ingredients -
2 chicken chipolata sausages
Butter/oil

For the chipolata, simply add a little butter or oil in the pan and lightly brown the sausages.

Scrambled eggs:
Ingredients -
2 eggs
Butter
Salt & Pepper

To make the scrambled eggs, dont whip the eggs, and do not season first. It results in watery eggs as the seasoning breaks down the eggs (according to Gordon Ramsay).

Add eggs to pan and a generous knob of butter. Place onto med heat and start mixing it with a spatula. Keep stirring and it will cook on its own. When it's about 80% cooked with just small wet portions left, take it off the heat, but keep stirring.

*note: my eggs look a little dry and whitish, as I stepped away for a while and this is what I came back to, so really watch your eggs to make sure they do not overcook. Thankfully mine was still salvaged and it was still moist and yummy.

Finally, plate up and season your food with salt and pepper to your own preference.

I prepared the food in the same order so I could use the same frying pan to minimize clean up. :P

To note:
This is quite a hearty breakfast, so it's ok for an occasional treat, but not an everyday affair.

For a healthier option, instead of grilled cheese sandwich, just make one simple toast or garlic bread.

And add some fresh vegetables on the side for a good balance. The difference that lettuce and some tomatoes would make:)
