The food really look very appetizing... yummy :salute:


Just like to ask a so called \"health related\" question..

can see that most of the meals are actually western food / western style cooking... how do you \"balance\" the \"high cholestrol / sodium\" etc which are well-known in western cooking?

I like such food too.. but started taking less cheese esp since i was last tested with slightly high cholestrol... and also reduce salt..

i love western food, I hardly ever cook chinese/asian food. Although my wife prefers chinese food, she has to eat whatever i cook LOL

I beg to differ angmo food has more sodium....actually chinese food has alot of sodium, from the use of soya sauce and other sauces. My angmo food has so little salt and oil, that i've been losing weight ever since i gave up eating chinese food. Now i only eat asian food like once a week LOL

All my meats are grilled without a single drop of oil/butter and only a slight bit of sea salt, over a grill pan.

it's simply chicken rubbed with a little 5-spice powder, sea salt, flour, cumin and fennel. Wrapped in alu foil, baked at 200 degrees for 40 mins

Hi Skunk,


Thoroughly enjoy reading your posts - great home-cooked food pics and cooking tips/recipes etc in this thread. You're really an inspiration to us all! I'm in similar situation as yours, a SAHD giving tuition. Only diff is I'm a Dad of 3 kids who's also their tutor, counsellor, cook, disciplinarian, chauffeur, man-servant all roll in one I also enjoy cooking (although I'm lousy in baking), and I'm a big fan of cooking shows - Nigella, Jamie Oliver, Kylie Kwong, Curtis Stone etc. Hope to share here soon.

My version of oven-grilled chicken wings (which my family enjoy):


-Place chicken wings/drumlets into a plastic bag.
-Season with light soy sauce, lemon juice & zest, ginger zest (key), pepper (sometimes I also add paprika, mixed herbs, rosemary)
-sprinkle some olive oil on the chicken, oven grill 20-30 min each side, 190 degree, or depending on how ‘dark’ you want your chicken.

Just had this last night but forgot to take a pic of it. Next time.

I love Nigella, but she’s not been on TV for some time. Maybe she grew so big the camera lens can’t fit her in LOL

Sochu? How does it taste like? I only know of mixing Jack Daniels with Coke :D.


BTW, since you're an expert in beer, need to check if it is ok to drink beer kept >5 years? I watched soccer last Sunday with a can of Tiger which was long overdue. Its colour seemed darker and after after a can, I noticed some residue in the beer. I poured it away of course.
