Junior Chefs @ Work II - Aug Edition

This has got to be the shortest Junior Chefs @ work edition. Leecher was in-camp for almost 3 weeks & I had to rely on packed food or home-cooked food from our parents to survive. Gosh, I sure miss Leecher whipping out meals in the kitchen! Thankfully, he gets to book out on Fridays & weekends, so I won't starve to death, heh.

We used to have our dinner at the dining table, but over the months, it was filled up with all sorts of stuff that there wasn't enough space for eating, lol! I'm guilty of this mess, unfortunately. Thus, now we'll have our meals at the coffee table in the living room. Though the area is small, it was enough to the 2 of us.

Mummy dearest provided us with fresh fish from the market & told Leecher to steam it. Being a teochew, I love steamed fishes - the fish tasted so sweet & fresh that we had to fight over it, lol! Leecher's first attempt at making 卤肉. Though it was abit salty, it was good enough for his virgin try :) 

 Since there was leftover 卤汁, we headed to the supermarket near our place and bought some ingredients to put in - my fave 3-layer fatty meat and beancurd. The 卤味 tasted better every time we added new ingredients in.

Eggs for breakfast :) Whenever we stayed at home during the weekends, Leecher will make breakfast (at my request!). The simplest dish would be eggs and Leecher will always combine it with whatever he can find from the fridge. Sometimes, you get egg+prawns omelette while on other days, you get scrambled eggs with mushroom.

We normally get our supply of soup from mummy dearest. Recently, Leecher also attempted brewing soups, yay! I always welcome it whenever Leecher tries something new since it'll normally means more food, lol! However, he still couldn't grasp the techniques of brewing soups :( His fave ingredient for soup - onions & potatoes! We ended up with a lot of potatoes at home, which lead him to put on his thinking caps and came up with the below

Home-made rosti! He painstakingly cut the potato into slices using a knife for we don't have a shredder at home. I helped out for a while before calling it quits, lol! I requested for rosti with mushroom & the dearest made it come true *throws confetti into the air, yeah*

 We had rosti over 2 weekends for there were too much potatoes in the house. Now that I'm blogging about this, I actually missed eating these rosti. Maybe it's time I put a bag of potatoes into the grocery basket, heh.
