OK, here's more photo contributions from me!
Healthy Brunch on a Leisurely Day. . .
Xing Zhou Mee Fen - my very first time cooking this dish and I loooooved the results! Was supposed to split the portion in two to eat another day but, it was so delicious, I ate it all!! 
And this Bee Hoon Goreng Indian Style is a dish I tried for the first time that works too! I cooked this for a party hosted by one of my colleagues. I had to work the evening shift but I dropped it off at her place before I started work and it was all eaten up.
It was hard work too - prepared the rempah from scratch! I'm soooo proud of meself!
Tonight, I'm going to tackle Mee Siam!
I have to find out how to upload a photo on my mobile of chicken wings that my colleagues raved over.
BTW, raw Chicken Wings are soooo darn cheap in Melbourne! A$4.90 / kg! It's almost as if they wanna get rid of it! (Chicken Breasts are like A$8-9 / kg here). -
Very nice Rhonda!
Ang Mos love to eat Chicken Breasts for some reason whereas we don't like it here in Asia -
So proud of you Rhonda! Recipe pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
-
I think the ang mohs find the chix b reasts healthier and lower in fat content. But I do find them tougher and whilst I know it's definitely healthier to cook and eat them with the skin off, the results aren't so impressive - the meat is often drier and tougher.Originally posted by elindra:Very nice Rhonda!

Recipes? For which dish?Originally posted by jetta:So proud of you Rhonda! Recipe pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? -
All of 'em.Originally posted by Rhonda:Recipes? For which dish? -
I've been cooking again! Here are photos of the latest dishes!
Don't look down on the humble instant noodles! Here, a jazzed up version.
Chai Tow Kway! Bought the Ron & Sue's Chai Tow Kway and it tasted horrid straight from the pack, so I decided to roll up my sleeves and add touches here and there and make it a proper and delicious Chai Tow Kway! 
This next one is a huge huge personal accomplishment and something I'm really really proud of! My 'portfolio' now includes :
MEE SIAM!!! 
A lot of work since I started from scratch! But the results are truly worth it!
And, here are my lovely chicken wings that my colleagues love too.
And this evening's dinner - Satay Chicken with Kai Lan Bee Hoon!
The bee hoon is soooo simple and yet, so tasty! I just kinda decided to grab whatever I could think of, make it simple, and voila! Bee hoon is my new love! -
Some other time... I have to leave for work soon.Originally posted by jetta:All of 'em. -

Is he tall? Is he big-sized? Does he love to eat?
And erm... is he insured in case of malpractice? Sorry, it's an occupational hazard - nurses do become quite cynical and sharp in time!
I kinda like fireman's height and size. When he hugs me, I feel like I'm the pearl inside the oyster... so safe and secure... -

Some of my colleagues always try to get a taste of my food during mealtime in the staff lounge.
It's quite pai seh cause sometimes, I don't wanna share because it's my favourite. Some of them pop into the room and say they can smell the food as it's microwaving and it smells so good and pai seh, I have to offer.
I've learnt to quickly mess up my food when I'm eating so they won't dare to pinch from me!
I think I really need to find a Singaporean / Malaysian man here because only they will appreciate something like Mee Siam / Xing Zhou Mee Fen, etc. -
For breakfast, try the very simple yet tasty Deluxe Tuna with Seeded Mustard Sandwich!
You need to throw together :
1 can of Tuna in Seeded Mustard, or if you don't have that, just drain a can of tuna in brine and mix seeded mustard with the Tuna
A few button mushrooms
A few sliced olives
Mayo (optional)
Lettuce and/or Tomatoes and/or Cucumber
Capers
And voila! If you like it spicy, a dollop of Peri Peri sauce / Chilli Sauce will spice things up nicely!
