CHINESE SOUP RECIPES

[levynn]

skylar... pai seh... today quite busy at work. running ard so never come in here in the afternoon. btw, i'm not familiar wif KL hotels... sorry...

pink... that's y sometimes even when we r in other countries, we overheard conversations n we will know they r fr Sgp. the pple here really very different fr other countries. buay pai seh is one thing... out of the many ugliness of singaporeans...

 

[spongme]

pink,
wah, drinking party so happening ah, kekeke. enjoy yr holiday soon!!!

skylar,
u haven't decided which KL hotel u wanna stay yet? where yr friend getting married? are u driving?

re: my nuo mi fan
I so sad, I ruined it! after it's cooked, I didn't listen to my hb but insisted on adding some more water to cook to make it softer. in the end it's soggy and sticky! regret big time!

 

[pinkbunny]

skylar - holiday start liao!!!!!!!

HOLIDAY SHIOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shop like siao. tomorrow got to bring big bag small bag to airport to show the officers to get tax refund (hope can put bag into luggage after that... or else got to carry da bao xiao bao up the plane. sibeh paisay ah!). tax is almost 25% sia. siao. cannot stay here forever man. even though its really a very very beautiful city.

levynn - ya lor. singaporeans have such ugly traits that its embarrassing. or maybe its just cos we are singaporeans thats why we only watch out for singaporeans ugliness leh? but i think nobody can beat the chinamen sia...

[pinkbunny]

gim meh eh dinner as requested:
dunno what the veg is, but i cooked it with fish slices. soup was winter melon with chicken stock (stock that i made in the afternoon, remember? very nice leh. very rich). then fried prawns with garlic, parsley and paprika.

 

[levynn]

good morning babes!

pink... the veg is the short short one is it? think it's a kind of xiao bai cai... guess the shorter relatives of our usual xiao bai cai.

btw, when u cook fish slices, u use wat kind of fish? ba tang??

 

[ckw1011]

good morning babes

some pix that were long overdue:

ta da, mandarin hotel's "forgotten chicken rice" - from the ex-chatterbox team. (the team opened a stall at one of the coffee shops along balestier road. $5 a set. verdict: healthy, rice (though a bit hard) & chicken were not oily & soup was quite good. taste wise so-so, lost to boon tong kee (also located along balestier road)

here was my lunch last wed. was nursing n eye infection at home & didn't feel like eating plain bread or porridge, so cooked macaroni. ingredients: chk stock, lean meat, greens & giam chye, it was good!

 

[schnauzie]

good morning ladies!

wow all the chiobus are back with a vengence!

ah pink - u buey noisy...u LIVELY!! yaya haha. heyhey u use what to boil ur stock? chicken bones or wat? need to add other ingredient or not? and boil how long?

lina - the chicken rice rice looks abit dry..strange when they shld have carried the chatterbox 'power' over. you soup looks very healthy leh the chye looks like wantun at first glance *drool*

lev - shorter relative of xiao bai chye? xiao xiao bai chye? mini xiao bai chye? wahahahah

Im looking out for nice cushion covers, any recommendation on where i can go..dont tell me IKEA..gam xia

 

[levynn]

schnauzie...
dunno wat it's called la... will ask it the next time i see it... wahahahaha...

cushion covers... hmm.. big cushions or small ones? i actually dunno where to buy la... but i like those chinese looking ones... very nice. maybe can try those shops at chinatown... or big retail stores... Metro, OG..??

 

[schnauzie]

metro and OG got sell cushion cover meh? got any specialize cushion shop or not?

 

[pinkbunny]

morning chios!

levynn - ya i think it's xiao bai cai's little cousin. i used... toman fish. was at NTUC one day and saw it on sale and looked quite fresh still. batang will break up easily.

lina - wah your marcaroni really looks nice leh!!! the pot very cute

for one person only ah?

eye infection? what happened? must be tao kua old men in the shower la si bo?

sch - i still have the packet of the veg at home. i'll check the name tonight! chicken stock: blanch the bones first, then add them to boiling water, with red dates and some garlic. that's all i used. oh salt and pepper too. can also add gou qi zi also but i didn't have anymore

chinese kind of cushion cover YUE HUA got sell. or little shops in chinatown, just walk around

biang eh, i wasn't even going to say ikea lor.

 

[pinkbunny]

i never understood why chatterbox could charge so much. i remember the chicken being very oily. i'm usually a roast chicken fan but for white, i think five star is pretty good!
