Father's Day Dinner

Father's day just passed and it was another wonderful opportunity to put the mindand a hungry stomach to the test. JJ, LL, KK, and I combined our efforts together and created a Father's Dinner for all the fathers and church members that were over at our place. According to my mom, it "turned out better than [she] thought". I'll take it as a compliment. =) JJ had made a chicken noodle minus the noodle soup, which was absolutely delicious but unfortunately didn't get a picture taken. The Line up is as follows:

Appetizer - Cucumber and marinated red bell pepper spring rolls with an asian peanut sauce

Soup - Chicken noodle minus the noodle

Meat dishes - Shanghai Drunken Drumsticks (thanks to Yaya) and steamed ribs with garlic and fermented beans

Veggie Dish - Mushrooms in rice wine with green onions

with a side of rice of course!

Dessert - Strawberry yogurt jello with canned peaches

ENJOY!

A Year and some Later...

Today, JJ and I collabo'ed and created a dinner for my mom's birthday. we had creamy mash potatoes, grilled lamb shanks with 3 types of mushrooms, and prosciutto with cantaloupe for appetizer - all paid for by LL. Believe me when i say, IT WAS HELLA GOOD and followed by, last, but nonetheless, tiramisu cake from Sheng Kee (gift from KK). it was unbelievably pleasant working with someone else in the kitchen. It made me realize how great the results of team work can be. I hope I get more opportunities like this.
