Swedish Meatballs

Where do you think you will go when you think of Swedish Meatballs???? Ikea? I've heard so much comments about the meatballs there from all my colleagues from Sweden. Nope, they are not considered meatballs, for heaven sake!

I didn't really believe that because I really thought that the meatballs were yummy enough. I decided to swallow that after eating at Two Chefs at Phuket. Hehs. They are erm, really DIFFERENT!!! So, I gladly accepted the invitation to Martina's place for a meatball session after work!!

After putting our meat in.

We roll them into balls.

And we fry them one by one.

And there they are.

Gravy gravy gravy! We need gravy! Buy the powder and cream!

It's seriously ALOT of meatballs.

If the above few photos don't look familiar to you. This should! Haha. Yummilious! I love meatball! Hehs. Ok, no exact recipe yet. But, we neeeeed beef, pork, bread crumbs, eggs, milk. Lalalalalalala~

Final verdict. Yes, once again, Ikea meatballs are.... Hehs. And, I love homecooked food! Cheers!!

Thank you Martina for teaching me how to make the meatballs!! =D =D

Lovely dinner with my dear.

Because he knew that I had not lost my cravings for big sausages, he asked me if I would love to have western food for dinner. But I thought of going to cold storage to see if there is any yummy big sausages waiting for me, I decided I want to cook. Like I had always wanted. For him. Ha.

At the end of the day, I just want to tell you. Farmland hashbrown is really nice. And Jackson cheese sausages (it's the yellow cheese! Forgot the name suddenly) is really tender and the cheese made it perfect. YUM!!!!!! And please, scrambled eggs should not be cooked after all the pan frying. The pan is probably too hot for a nicely done scrambled egg. Ha!

It was a great meal with a great company. I wish for more. =D And oh my friends, if you would love to have it, just tell me! I am so willing to cook! Haha.

I always thought I have to go Thailand just to eat them!

Haha. I have been missing Thai food ever since I left Phuket. The images of our last dinner just keep surfacing, but I haven't really found the chance to go ThaiExpress (haha, my favourite place!). I had a pleasant surprise when my brother called and told me that Rainie is going to cook for us. And, I get to place my order! Hohohoho.

No idea why but the first thing that came to my mind was Phat Thai. Oh, it's a must eat at Thailand anyway. Beautifully done, isn't it?

Phat Thai

To be fair, the one we had at Phuket was way nicer. But, this was not too bad either! Just that it was one of the first dish cooked. Thus, it got a little dry after being exposed to the air for too long. But it made me happy enough. Hehs.

Mummy asked for mango salad, another must eat over at Thailand!

Mango Salad

Woo. It's so spicy but we cannot stop eating it. Yum yum. Haha. My mama just learned how to cook from her. Hahaha. But, less spicy pleaseeeee.....

And then she cooked the stir fried pork with basil leaves. It was the first dish we actually had in Phuket because we were that hungry and the place was just outside our hotel. Hahahaha! Yums. I thought hers was better, but a spicier version. Hahaha!

Stir fried pork with basil leaves.

And then, the legendary seafood tom yum soup.

Seafood tom yum.

Erm. It look as spicy as it taste. LOL. Or rather, it tasted as spicy as it looked. I was never a great fan of tom yum soup anyway. But, I'm still attracted by the spiciness ALL THE TIME! ARGH! Is it possible to have the same taste, without the spiciness??!! Haha.

She just felt like drinking this soup. Haha.

I thought this was the end of the Sunday dinner. Who knows, I had another pleasant surprise on Monday! Hohohoho! The super super super super super nice thai steam fish. Gosh. The soup was so well done. The fish is so pretty. Haha. It really tasted the same as the one we had the last dinner! YUM YUM! I would have finished everything if I did not have to leave for the family. Haha.

Steam fish.

And to top it off, I asked for pineapple rice today. Haha.

Pineapple rice

Look so pretty right? I was so surprised at how pretty it look. Well, considering the fact that I'm eating at HOME. Haha. The pineapple was really sweet! I like. Erm, mama added a little too much water for the rice though. But I still think it was pretty nicely flavored and I haven't ate so much rice since so long ago! Hahaha. I love the taste that the leaves gives. Hehs. I fell in love with it after tasting it for the first time in Taiwan. You must understand that I am someone who don't like vegetables once upon a time. I must be growing old eh? Haha.

I really really want to learn how to cook all these stuffs from her sia. Haha. The man is going to be so proud of me! And, he will probably stop asking me to eat out! Haha. He have not satisfy my emotional need of wanting to cook for him. LOL! He always tell me it's cheaper to eat out. Hahaha! I have loads of chance to learn it in near future. Ha!

American Breakfast

I have seriously been craving for some good American Breakfast since I was at Phuket. But the first one failed me and the second one din have all the things I would like to have on the table. So, this morning, I've decided to be hardworking and make myself the perfect breakfast that I wanted to eat!



But damn, the first thing I realised was, my hashbrown was missing! So, I replace my potato urge with my 'baby baked potato'. I swear I'll find my hashbrown soon! *Made extra, so ah dear has a lot of potatos to eat again! LOL!

Next, I forgot to buy my big sausuage. So, I have to make do with the small hotdog. It was alright. But I would not stop desiring for the American Breakfast till I ate it with my giant sausage! LOL!

My scramble egg was puuuuurrrfect! This is the texture that I had been yearning for. But erm, I overdid on the salt. It's still edible and yummy though. Hahahaha!

And lastly, I wanted to make a little fruit salad like the Auntie at Mudan House did for us. But erm, I realised, I'm still craving for the chocolate banana crepe over at Phuket. So, I made a 'mini pizza' with nutella and banana instead. LOL! Toasted the bottom of the bread a little to warm the whole thing up. Yums. Me like! =)

I bet the breakfast would have tasted better if I had someone to share it with me. Food tastes better when shared, don't you think so? Haha.
