Sun and Sea Smoked Oyster

I love oyster. Especially the raw one, dip in vinegar. Yummy! So when I saw Sun and Sea Smoke oyster. I wanted to try it asap.

Stir fry it with some chillies.. Oh yes I love chillies! (:

Overall. I don't like the taste. Maybe because it is stored in a can. I hope they change their packaging to bottles. I cant explain the taste. Im not sure if im tasting the can or the oyster is old. Sorry. But will never buy one again.

5 ways to get you inspired to cook...

Now a days, it seems to be impossible for us ( working wife ) to spend long hours in kitchen. As much as we wanted to cook, we end up sleeping/resting or just pampering ourself. So i come up with 5 ways to get me inspired to cook.

1. Clean Kitchen

( We all ) I love to stay in clean and happy environment. If our workplace is clean we tend to work efficiency.

2. Complete Ingredients

Invest on cookbooks, plan ahead. Make sure to complete your ingredients before you start cooking.

3. Good Kitchenware

Invest on kitchen appliances. It will save time and energy when you prepare your meal. One good kitchen investment is a chopper. A small one is good enough. This can help you chop ingredient that you commonly use. ie. garlic, onions, chilies etc.

4. Friends/Family

Make sure you have someone to share your finish product. Friends or family gives good conversation over good food.

5. Partner

It feels good to spend some quality time with your love one ( Husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, kids, friends etc.) It will make your cooking experience fun and unforgettable.

I dont always cook, And I cant say that I love to cook. But I love to learn. My husband and I spend most of our weekend with friends and family over dinner. It's inspiring to cook when you are surrounded with good people. Do you love to cook?

Koshihikari Japanese Rice

Delicious short grain Japanese rice.
My husband's favorite rice.
Notice the clean grains? No need to rinse.
Soaked uncooked rice in water for about 30-60 mins.
Let the rice absorb the water before cooking.

Serve it hot and steamy.
Look how the rice was so soft looking and clean even without rinsing.

What's your favorite rice?

Frenchies Premium French Fries

Frenchies quick and easy do it yourself french fries.
My husband love to eat french fries, so I (he) make it sure that we always have frozen french fries readily available in our fridge. I cant find any brand in SM supermarket except for this Frenchies Premium French Fries

Put oil. ( we use Wesson Vegetable oil )
Heat oil for about 3-5 minutes. - It's important that your oil is hot enough before putting your potatoes in.
Put frozen fries. ( Do not defrost ) - to ensure maximum crispness.

Deep fry for about 5 minutes.
Drain excess oil.

Pat dry. - we use 2 sheets of kitchen paper towel roll

Pair it with ketchup and mayonnaise. Then serve it hot and crispy.
I'll give it 5/5 star. Because we didn't have to put salt on it, the taste and the crispiness is just enough for our taste. I'm sure your kids will love them too. (: Enjoy.
