Yep my hands were itching to try something to bring some gratification to some tummies.
Breadsticks with herbs, accompanied with balsamic-olive oil mix. A little disappointed the sticks were not the crusty type. Shocked DH preferred his splattered with butter. How do you butter breadsticks? I suppose rolls would have been more appropriate. Again, I thought they were suppose to be crusty that's why!!! Back to drawing board I suppose.
Main dishes were ham quiche, mee suah kueh (yeah something new) and a trusty char siew meat.
Its been a while since I've made quiche. Need to work on the crust which came out a little tough *what went wrong :( * Filling came out great though, thanks to mum.
Mee suah kueh was interesting. It was OK but probably not something I will do again. Perhaps out shined by the other dishes??
Lily's char siew was good as usual. Note to self that good cuts of meat are a must!! Next time get dad to buy the meat!! Still great with wine.
For dessert, the main star was the durian cake. Unfortunately Alex (being a mat-salleh) didn't think agree. So, we had back up apple pie with cream, much to Master Prince's delight as he was still coughing and would have had to give the former 'powerful' cake a miss. Also, he had asked me to make it for him a while ago.
The apple pie crust was better than the quiche (thank god) but could be better. Think I was after the melt-in-mouth type.
Side note - the leftovers tasted FABULOUS!! Perhaps I should consider serving leftovers next time!! :)
**Perhaps I should also pen that Master Prince was fairly upset that K will not be coming back. Cried buckets and kept asking 'why she not coming back?'. As for my parents, they are looking forward.
