Spicy dinner~~~

For my colleague's b'day dinner, we went to a 四川 restaurant. Yes, most dishes are spicy but the birthday girl doesn't eat spicy at all...strange y we went to this place right??...
Anyway, it was a good chance to practice eating spicy food cos coming Tibet trip will most likely be eating similar food and might be worst too....damn i'm freaking out already cos their style of cooking is all about add more oil more oil, more salt more salt, more spicy more spicy...u know what i mean??...basically u can't taste anything cos it is all damn strong taste... =_=
After the meal, even you brush teeth and drink water, your mouth can still taste spicy flavour...gosh...
Don't ask me the name of the dishes, cos i dun even know....haha...

Top quality dinner~~

My friend will open another japanese restaurant soon and so he asked me to help him to take photos for his new menu. It was a night that I'll never have this much of japanese food at one go...
The photo shoot took me the whole evening, because there were so many dishes to photo, one by one each look yummy as they were brought out...The effort was worth it as the dinner was so damn full and wonderfully taste fresh and yummy...
Had the chance to taste new sushimi and also raw beef from japan....feel soooo good!!!!

Cooking @ Home

This time, very first time that I cooked dinner for my friends. Planned ahead to cook 3 dishes...soup, salad and a pasta. The meal come with a nice red wine...fine taste...
The whole cooking process went well....had fun and enjoyed every bit...my lovely friend helped me prepare the salad and cooked a "jah jah" dessert!~!~...Let's skip the rest and go to the tasting part....hmm...well...the salad was good, the wine taste nice....the bread with cheese yummy...but my cooking was...not awful, but I think I could have done better....The soup got the beef taste, tomato taste, but it would be best with a bit more salt and also the beef turned out too tough!! >_<
Then the pasta...hmm....not enough sauce was the major problem, then the chicken breast damn tough too...garrr~!~!~ Ah well, I really appreciate my lovely friend to tolerate my cooking, she even said all went well just the chicken too tough...I promise I will improve and cook different dishes next time....
