Chef Salad : Mixed greens / green pepper / tomato / pepperoncini / egg / onion / cucumber / carrot / radish topped with julienne ham / turkey / American /Swiss cheeses - I passed an egg. with Italian dressing.

Dinner on Jan. 10. Croquette for dinner. I am not a big fun of croquette, but I have a big pile of potatoes to eat. So I decided to make croquette to use the potatoes. I made about 25 croquettes and  had 5 for dinner and put the rest of them in the freezer. I can't beleive that we have that many potatoes. We don't eat potatoes much usually. We usually have rice or bread for taking carbs. There are still lots. What am I gonna cook the potatoes next?

Oven Griled Salmon

Breakfast on Jan. 9. Grilled chicken, Kale and Rice. It's a bit like Brazilian dish. Their typical lunch has meat, kale and rice. Oh, this is my breakfast though.

 

Dinner on Jan. 9. Grilled Salmon and Veggies. It was very easy. Put everything on the heat registant plate with spreading olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper, and put rosemary on it. Bake it for 20 mins.

Kielbasa Hamburger

Dinner on Jan. 8. I added Kielbasa leftover to ground meat. It gave the hamburger flavour. and I had rice and kale on the side.

 

China Star

I don't know why but I felt like I wanna do somehting feminine. So I did face treatment last night and made a nail appointment for tomorrow. I did some yoga this morning. What else can I do? Yes, I need collagen. So I decided to go to China star to have pork belly. lol.

 

Asparagus and Crab Meat Soup : very simple flavour. Again, its as good as clam and melon soup for hangover.

 

Salt and Pepper Squid : Crispy Calamari. It's deep fried, but it's not oily at all and good with veggies underneath.

 

Braised Pork Belly and Chestnuts : I see 2 choice of pork belly on the menu, with chetnuts or eggplant. I like chestnuts one better. First, I thought it comes with water chestnuts, but it has whole ones. It tasted sweet like sweet potatoes. I enjoyed the pork belly, of course. I came here today for it.

 

Fortune Cookie : "You shall seek out new adventures .... (in bed)." This is perfect!
