Summer seafood updated!

Chocolate and cheese tradition.

There is no doubt how good cheese and wine match each other. or sausage and cheese or bread and cheese or blah blah.. but for me personally, the perfect match for cheese is CHOCOLATE! They just complete each other, the taste and everything! Especially for people who have problem with choosing sweet or salt aka. *sweet and salty tooth* like me.

But, there is nothing with chocolate and cheese outside Southeast asian, esp in Italy?? DUh, impossible thing.. But, the craving went worse until I decided to bake a chocolate cheese bread myself! :D

And since it's homemade, I went crazy and put lots of chocolate and cheese.. lol.. the dough hardly could handle the filling :p The bread was warm, soft with melted choco cheese! nothing could be better for me at that time!

*look at those melts!* drool

Holiday Sickness

Have you ever visited a ghost town before? If yes, then you know how I'm feeling these days. If no, then you should visit Milan in August. Stores close their doors, (me and my friends always make jokes about how often we saw them close their door rather than open their door) haha.. people leave town for somewhere else, and there's only few people like me, stay at home, having fun with our lovely flies and mosquitoes. Weather makes you feel like you're in beach, minus the sand and the sea.  pheww....

So, what do I do now? I wake up, and eat, and cook and eat, and facebook, and search for recipe, and cook and eat and eat and eat.. until I COULDN'T BREATH! Hahahahha but let's see the good side, I have time to blog now.. oh, and of course to cook, watch films, youtubes, and blah blah :p

oh, and because this is holiday season, I'm trying to please myself! I stock my fridge with lots of yummy stuffs. 1 kg ice cream for myself, 1 kg prawn and fish! Yum.!

SOOOOO SUMMER, Aren't they? Yum yum.. :)) oh, and happy holiday!!!

Homemade 'meatballs'!

Soak rice, lentils, beans. I used white rice, mixed lentils and varied beans. Boil them until soft. Add the magic pepper, salt, soy sauce, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, and egg. Mash mash mash, form to balls and bake them! Voilaaaaaa Super yummy no meat 'meat'balls!!

Bake your own granola

I love granola bar!!! They are chewy and nyummy! and my favourite brand is soyjoy. To some people, they are the worst snacks ever, but to some people like me, they are... hmmm.... heaven! :)

I am not a fan of nutty granola. Too much nuts. nope nope. Just don't like them. Prefer chocolate and fruits. So, I did my research on how making one and made my own recipe!

I baked them and they turned out not as crunchy as I expected. Neither satisfied nor disappointed. Just not what I expected.

Later, made a smaller version and add mashed banana and chocolate and cheese, they were mucchhhhhhh better!!!! I finished them all in a day! Yum yum :))

Summer grill in a rainy day

I loooovvvee to think about what's the menu for today, what's in it, how to dress it, cook it and eat it. And when I eat, I love to think, where I start my first cut, which one to finish first, etc. etc. (as common kid do). It feels so much fun!

And this morning, I went to the supermarket and bought tomatoes. Once I arrived home, I remembered the Coli bactery news around here *sigh*. And with no appetite, *not because of the Coli news, but I've had sore throat for days*, I decided to make a french toast, vegetable grills with lemon yogurt!

They are sooooo easy to make and super delicious!

fresh, warm, with no sauce.

and the sauce is coming!

Buon appetito!

I know no rules.

I'm not a super good eater, I am PICKY. not a professional photographer nor a pro chef and that's the reason why I am happy. Do whatever I wanna do. Think, plan, cook, 'dress' them up, click click.. n nyuummm... Sometimes, plan doesn't work and sometimes, I didn't plan and it turns out good.
