The Last Supper
If you're wondering why nothing has come out from my kitchen in a while, it's because I've been in Solitary Confinement mode for a week now.
Now, rewind time by one week.
Just before I started, I knew I would be eating pasta and roti and fried rice and pasta for quite a while, so I decided to give myself a treat. A proper, satisfying meal to kick off a week of mind bending labour.
Here's what I had.
Char Siew with some Hainanese Chicken Rice's rice.
This time, the char siew was properly made. Got the pre-packed mix, soaked the right cuts in it for 3 hours, and grilled to perfection. Yes, with the sweet crunchy crust and all. :)
A good meal must always be a balanced meal. This quick Pak Choi dish fit the bill just nice.
The whole setup! The bowl of soup in the background was some left over Spicy Sardine Soup.

hmmm. char siew and chicken rice? thats NOT a bad combination. should try them some time. thanks for the idea!
cheng sim: you're very welcome. :)
wow ! u r good dude...better than me...try the chilli sauce recipe i posted
I wan Char Siew!~! Looks so good with the combination of fat and lean meat..
foodcrazee: the chilli sauce looks amazing. Too bad I don't have a food processor, or a mortal & pestle. Will definitely try it some day, when I'm better equipped.
kpcg: yeah. Char Siew is just not char siew if it doesn't have the right balance of fat and meat.
Wah! Char siu looks goooood!
boo: for once, it tasted as good as it looks. Hehhee..
deliriouslybored: can't remember the brand, but it came in a powdered form. Have to dilute in water before soaking.
The Lee Kum Kee char siew sauce is nice for roasting chicken/pork/lamb, but it doesn't end up like actual char siew. I used it quite often in my past dishes.
