: : Dinner at Auntie M’s : :
Had Sunday dinner with my auntie, cousin and his gf. The main course was done by my cuz but the appetizers and veggies were done by my Aunt.
Stuffed squid with mince chicken and carrots
Mixed veggies (sweet peas, baby corn, carrots)
Roast Chicken in Orange with Pork Stuffing
Stuffed potatoes?
Stuffed squid with mince chicken and carrots
Smaller disaster because the bread crumbs wouldn’t stick to the squid. Think it’s because the skin of the baby squid was too smooth. Also, Auntie M suspected that she put too much stuffing in that they started coming out while she was frying them. It still tasted good and the slightly burnt parts just added to the flavour. You have to be there to understand what I meant by burnt.
Mixed veggies (sweet peas, baby corn, carrots)
Yummy yum yum. I love sweet peas. They are so sweet and crunchy. However, to prepare it, you would need to remove the ends by a little bit and pull a little ‘string’ that comes off the skin. Also, the carrot was so sweet after cooking it that it was very yummy.
Roast Chicken in Orange with Pork Stuffing
No picture of the Roast Chicken. Yep, absent-minded Ms. Wena totally forgot another time. Couldn’t taste the orange, much to my cousin’s dismay. Suggested to him to use mandarin oranges rather than Sunkist. He put in the orange peel as well as the juice. 2 oranges, in fact. Think it’s something to do with Sunkist oranges that we get it. It’s always SO sour. However, the highlight was the stuffing. It tasted so delicious! He got it from Smart Supermarket, King’s Centre. Minced pork will not taste as nice. Probably because we didn’t know how to make it properly.
Stuffed Potatoes
This was nice although I thought that the potatoes needed to be roasted until it was brown before serving. It was too pale. However, it still tasted good because of the bacon bits insides. The sauce was easy to do : a mix of salad cream and mayonaisse. Quick filling though so be forewarned.
It was a nice end an interesting weekend. Can’t wait for the time when Auntie M is cooking. She makes a mean tiramisu that is absolutely the best in Kuching. Sorry, by invitation only.
