If possible, I want my kitchen to be outside of my house!
totally agree. stove outside the flat to fry fish and then use a pail of water to wash the floor. -

the inner kitchen is light cooking eg baking, steaming, normal stir fry -

does the electric steamer steam fish very fast ? consume a lot of voltage ?
orchard road must be packed today since it's a school holiday.
i'm surprised the OG sale wasn't packed yesterday. mum said it was like a snake queueing to enter last year.
very happy with the purchase of my electric steamer because I don't have to worry about the wind affecting the gas. -

When we were young and living with grandma, our kitchen was outside. We had gas stove, charcoal stove and I remember a stone mill which granma used to grind soya beans to make fresh tofu and soya milk. -
Anyone have experience with Phillips smokeless grill? The advertisement looks very tempting but I would like some real feedback if any!! Talking about charcoal grill makes me hungry for some claypot rice now.

steaming fish is about 8-9 min depending on the size. the cost of installing a sliding door is $1000. using electrical appliances won't cost that amount. the wind from the living room is quite strong, so if using the stove to steam fish, the fire will be affected.

hi janet,
then how u stir fry food ? use what to fry, to prevent smoke from drifting into the living hall, because u have a family of four, sometimes need to fry food for family, cannot be eating out all the time ? -
Is it because janet88’s new kitchen has no top hung cabinets and no cooker hood to suck up the smoke and smell? I don’t think open concept kitchen is the problem. You can have open concept, but you must install a powerful cooker hood like those you see in Korea BBQ restaurants.
Wet kitchen at backyard does have its problems. Can be dusty if you’re seldom at home to maintain it, as it’s exposed to the elements and living things out there. -
The No 1 brand vinegar for dumplings is 恒顺镇江香醋. If you can get 恒顺饺子醋 from Yue Hwa, all the better. I use the 恒顺6年陈醋.
