[quote=\"Jennifer\"]MIL called this morning- FIL thinks there is too much meat items.


Our original menu needs revision.

1. Basmati rice http://www.marthastewart.com/316432/basmati-rice-with-onion-and-ginger

2. Stir Fry assorted mushrooms

3. Roast chicken parts marinated in curry paste

4. Braised pork belly served with bun

Change the chicken to fish?

or instead of pork belly, change to sayur lodeh, will go well with the chicken and basmati rice.

Fish is too challenging for me

I like sayur lodeh. Is there a recipe for dummies? [/quote]Try the Prima Taste premix package for sayur lodeh. They have a simple recipe on the packaging to follow. I usually add more veg to make it sweeter and less spicy.

Hi Ladies,


They are vegetarian but take dairy products and egg. No garlic and onion though.

Thanks!

In that case can try vegetarian pizza/lasagna.

I juz hosted a kids party with about 10 adults, 7 kids. Mostly take-away but i cooked a chicken wing dish and asparagus bacon wrap.


1) Sushi platter - Sakura Fish Mkt
2) Salmon Yusheng - Sakae Sushi
3) Mushroom soup - Soup Spoon
4) Fried Bee Hoon - MIL fried
5) Fishball - Old Chang Kee
6) Cheese Tarts - Flor Patisserie
7) Chicken Wing - DIY
Asparagus Bacon Wrap - DIY

Chicken Wing
- Preheat oven 10min
- Marinate with oyster sauce, soya sauce, fish sauce, pepper, chicken powder (Knows brand)
- Cook for about 12 min

Asparagus Bacon Wrap
- Cut the asparagus to desired length
- Boil the asparagus (do not overcook)
- Wrap bacon round 3-4 sticks of asparagus
- Fried it under low fire
- remember to choose streaky bacon instead of back bacon. tried several types of bacon from different supermarket. Cold Storage still has the best bacon, not too salty and just the right size.


I'll be hosting another party this Sunday, abt 11pax. Elders, adults and kids :slapshead:
Decided that I'll not tire myself out ... ordered a mini buffet from Guan Hoe Soon Nonya Food. http://www.guanhoesoon.com

Keeping my fingers crossed that food will be ok ... :xedfingers:

Thanks for sharing your recipe , gonna try the asaparagus bacon next time.

Are you hiring an agency to help or you will prepare it by yourself?

Last time I tried MonstaBBQ catering. Just tell the monster admin your budget per pax, how many pax and monster attending, they will provide you with an propose food items. Very efficient and not food wasted. For those who want try non halal BBQ catering must order their hony pork ribs and Char siew. Very special and thumbs up. monstabbq.com
