Sneak Peek into my life

Food by East: Cookie Monster and Chocolate Fully-Loaded. Cookie Monster had the classic egg waffle, chunky peanut butter, chocolate cookie crumble, whipped cream, Hong Kong milk tea ice cream, toasted marshmallow and Almond Pocky. Chocolate Fully-Loaded had Cocoa waffle, chocolatd chantilly, Rocky road ice cream, chocolate fudge sauce and biscotti. Papardelle "Nose To Tail" Bolognese: Pork testa, veal loin & oxtail ragu, parm Yummmm! 😋 Kimchi fried rice for breakfast! 😋 I've never tried this in any Korean restaurant before so I followed a recipe on New York Times. Korean food tonight! Spicy bulgogi, bean sprouts, spinach and store bought kimchi over rice. 😊 3 stages of our cinnamon rolls: Before baking, right out of the oven and glazed with maple frosting. I've found another use for our breadmaker! The dough setting allows me to watch a movie (or have a hair cut!) and when done, roll it out and pour melted butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon to make cinnamon rolls. I can then watch another movie or put Miguel to sleep while waiting for the rolls to rise and then bake it in a 200°C oven andddd then we have our midnight snack ready! 😅 For breakfast, Miguel helped his daddy prepare the coffee for freshly ground and brewed coffee plus some for the maple frosting of the cinnamon rolls. Pancit and fried chicken for dinner last night! My mom asked what I wanted her to cook because she's coming over with my sister. I can cook pancit but never as good as my mom's! 😅 I requested for pork liveeerrr and pork and so happy she didn't put in fishcakes or fishballs or shrimp! Hahaha perfect! 😍 Hello, I'm Lorely and I am a roast pork belly addict. I had pork belly 2 days ago at Butcher and Baker café but my craving wasn't satisfied. This super delicious pork belly with butternut squash, apple and walnuts is amazing. It is one of the best roast pork belly I've had in...months 😍 Creamy salmon pasta for dinner. Miguel loved it and ate quite a lot! He really likes cream sauces instead of tomato based pasta. Chicken Pesto Salad. Surprisingly cold 😂 and nice! It has big chicken strips, pasta, pesto sauce, cherry tomatoes, green and yellow courgette/zucchini. It was a hot but beautiful day to be out in Ap Lei Chau 😍😎 Hainanese Chicken Rice. I ❤❤❤ chicken rice. I want to go back to Singapore just for chicken rice but right now, this is what I can have in HK. Miguel ate lots of chicken rice too! 😍 Garlic, shrimp & mushroom pasta (with spinach!) for dinner. We were so happy that Miguel was willing to try it. He didn't eat it but he tried some pasta and asked to taste the shrimp! 😍 Breakfast at Simplylife. Yummm! Best Toffee Latte and the barista was so nice too! ☕ We had really nice sandwiches here. 😍 we didnt have breakfast at home because we took Miguel to a dietitian for a 9:30am appointment. Beef steak requested by my little sister. She visits every Friday so I ask her what she wants for dinner. My daddy also came to our house tonight to see Miguel and it was him who taught me how to cook this. He told me that my beef steak is better than his. 😅 Awwwww it's always nice to hear these things from your mentors/parents. Friday lunch out with officemates. Main course: NZ Beef strip loin Happy weekend!!! Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme. I lost the NBA Finals bet so I had to bake scones for the office. I've never made scones so I had to make sure I follow a blog that I trust. Thanks @sallysbakeblog for your recipe!!! I made two versions, one with the glaze and one without because some people I work with always ask "how much sugar is in it?" 😅 Yay! I've finally made scones but I'd like to try the classic scone flavours next time. Steamed Chicken with Chinese Mushroom and Chinese chives with garlic. So easy to make and so good with garlic chili oil. 😍 Miguel also liked the chicken+rice. I'm baking later because I lost a bet. I bet that GSW would win over CLE. Boooooo! 2 weeks late, I know 😅 Hot pot to celebrate Nanay & Tatay's 34th wedding anniversary. Lots of different kinds of fishballs (one with cheese too!! Yummm!!!), tofu, beef balls, fresh clams and shrimp, beef strips, lettuce, enoki mushroom, Chinese mushroom and udon. Dessert at Holly Brown 😍 Vanilla Rock On!, Oh! Fudge!, Florida, Avalanche and Mint ala mode. Thank you Ninong JZ sa masarap mong libre! 😁 Santol and Indian mango, fruits from my in-laws' trees in Zambales. 😍 Hihi! They know how much I love Indian mangoes 😍😍😍 These santol fruits are definitely one of the sweetest I've ever tasted. Tuna tacos 😋 Regretting ordering room service last Saturday night. If we had gone down to the restaurant then I would have eaten this more than once! 😂
