After my parents are gone for a while, we have gathering parties with the Aunties at my house almost every Fridays, and this Friday, we went a little further. We had more people teaching more cooking idea/stuffs and my oven was used almost non stop to make things. We made soo many good food and dessert and at the end of the night, everyone left with a big smile in their face 😀 Anyways, here is a video I put together, I didn’t have much time to record everything because there was a lot of running around all day but I should have enough footage to make you feel the happiness we had, enjoy!!! 😀
First, thanks Corolla for showing ME and letting me record how to make 蘿蔔糕 (Chinese Carrot Cake). For the ingredient, you can see it on the video below at about 8:48. Anyhow, I didn’t expect something you can find in almost every restaurants so easily and it takes soo long to make. We went to the supermarket, bought everything we needed, then started at about 1pm and we finished at around 3:30 Anyway, just watch this video and pretty much you will get everything about this 蘿蔔糕 (Chinese Carrot Cake) 😀
This baking party started with me and Corolla teaching Paulina how to bake a banana cake, yes, Paulina bakes the first time and she was writing notes on and off non stop as always, hehe Putting the cake together didn’t take long, and baking it took 50 mins, the longest was to wait for it to cool down. Then, it was Joyce’s turn to make those almond crunch, that didn’t take long either and it was very easy to make. At the end of the day, my house was full of happy faces especially Joyce because she got 2 bags of almond crunch and my banana cake to take home with, that really made my day 😀 Here are some pictures I took from my cel phone, please enjoy 😀
After last night’s hotpot dinner with all the aunties, there are soo much food left over, so I decided to cook something out of it tonight. It was a very simple dish to make, everyone can do it, all I did was to use the beef slices (牛肉), warped around the enoki mushrooms (金菇), than fried it using a frying pan, that’s all and it tasted soo yummy :p
P.S. blame my camera because I know the last picture looks like something you would not put in your mouth… hehe
As most the people know, my parents are in Asia for their vacation right now, so I have the house all by myself. I already had a few nights playing video game with friends already, so here is the first big parties I arranged weeks ago , hotpot dinner with aunties!!! Everyone was excited when I told them my mom and dad were leaving because they don’t have vacations that often these days :p Me and Corolla bought most of the food the day before the party, so the preparation was pretty relaxing since I had 2 days to do so hehe. The night started with abalone slices (鮑魚片) as appetizer, then followed with all kinds of food as you can see in the video below :p, Corolla made dessert as always (南北杏雪耳木瓜糖水) and so did I (Banana Cake 香蕉蛋糕) hehe. Of course everyone had a good time and I am sure there will be more parties like this in the coming weeks before my parents come back 🙂 Anyhow, please enjoy this 師奶篇 video because it doesn’t happen very often in my life :p
