How do I spend my weekends nowadays? Cook!!!!!! Last week, Dear and I had Japanese chicken curry stew on Saturday and I cooked Japanese pork cutlet curry for my family on Sunday. This week, I decided to have a candlelight dinner with Dear (after been inspired by Dionne).
At first, Dear wondered why I had such a funny idea.
Dear: Why candlelight all of a sudden?
Me: Why cannot?
Dear: How to candlelight in my house with so many people around?
Me: We can have it in your room ah.Don't want ah? Then forget it loh.
Dear: No lah no lah. Can can. We still have candle left from last time.
Me: Hmmph. Talk about spicing up. You are not doing anything at all.
Dear: Ok lah ok lah. We will have candlelight k.
As usual, we will end up with fights in the kitchen. Blame it on my ego. I just hate it when people tell me what to do in the kitchen. I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING OK!!!!!! Especially when his mother gets back and enters the kitchen and he will start asking her questions which doubt my ability to cook (which he insisted that he did not). Argh. Talking about having fun in the kitchen with your partner. That never happens to us. Not even when I tried to pretend to have fun and threw him a slice of onion.
We bought 4 pieces of loin meat and the neccessary ingredients and Dear said I bought too much again, as usual. Then we realised his brother and girlfriend were at home too. So he asked him if they wanted a share too. And they did. The 4 pieces of meat are barely enough now. So we looked through the freezer and found a piece of fish which I thought I can pan-fry it with white wine. Yummy yummy.
A couple of hours later, his parents came back too!!! Great. Really not enough food this time. Thankfully, his mum said she will fry rice for his dad and she will just eat whatever we have, considering that she has a small appetite. Whey.
Finally, everything is done. Dear got the room ready while I take my bath. To think he asked me to eat before taking the bath. I am so damn dirty and sweaty after all those cooking and you want me to eat in this kind of condition? Don't you ever ask me that again.
The main dish is Pork chop with red wine with mushrooms and onion sauce, complemented with mashed potato,vegetables stir-fried with butter and mushroom chicken soup. Notice there are only spoons and forks? Courtesy of Dear who does not have any steak knife at home. And not forgetting the plate of pan-fry fish in white wine sauce which turned out to be rather tasteful. We had both red and white wine to complement the meats. Hee.

The Chef and her catThe food was up to standard for both of us except for his brother's girlfriend who complained that the mashed potato was too spicy. For goodness sake, I only added pepper in it!!!!!! But overall, it was a satisfying dinner. Though Dear tried to act romantic which turned out to be hilarious instead.

I had no intention to cook for Sunday. However, after preparing a pot of soup and a pot of mushroom and pork stew, my mother went out and have fun. So, I decided to prepare a few more dishes. Marmite pork chop for the leftover loin meat from last week's curry. Sweet and sour pork. And stir-fry vegetables from whatever I can find in the fridge.
After an hour or so in the kitchen, with the help of assistant Kelvin again...Tada!!!!!!!!
Zi-cha style dinner
Yummy yummy!!!! I got standard one ok. So what's for next week? hmmm......
