Haven't blogged in zonks, been busy just with work, boring domestic house keeping and the odd social life. Now the weather is finally warming up - still with odd showers - outdoor sport is becoming a good option when I am trying to find stuff to do on my days off and so far I went swimming in the newly refurbished pool, played golf (range + course) and tennis!! Ahhh those childhood memories!!
But back to the topic - planning my first dinner menu. I have toyed with the idea of cooking for our tiny social group before and last time I 'nearly' went for an Italian themed menu with:-
1. Greek salad with fetta cheese, olives, cucumber, tomato and lettuce
2. Garlic prawn linguine with a tomato based sauce
3. creamy bacon, onion mushroom spirals
4. chorizo with cheese stuffed bell peppers pizza
5. Tiramisu
But then again I chickened out like I always do (lack of confidence + afraid of what others will think of my food....) I did however make the tiramisu.
Now 2nd chance in overcoming my fear, I am planning something more closer to my traditional cuisine ie Taiwanese/chinese home cooking.
1. 3 cup chicken with carrots and shallots
2. taiwanese style pork chops
3. cabbage with shitake mushroom
4. pickled cucumber with chili flakes
5. mango pudding
and of course rice!
Fingers cross it goes well!
