subarugal SG Originally posted by miss_soojung: [b]BULGOGI Bulgogi is one of Koreas most well known grilled dishes that is usually recommended to first timers to Korean cuisine. Traditionally eaten served wrapped in moo shu pancakes, its not uncommon to see bulgogi served with tortillas and lettuce leaves. Or with rice. One way of eating bulgogi is to wrap a piece of cooked beef in lettuce with rice and accompanying garnishes. Bean paste or doenjang can also be added if you prefer more flavour! [/b]wooo... this is my fav.. but i have another love which is jap cuisine.. yummi...
littlestream SG Oh, you are so kind. Make me blush leh. Yeap, I love to cook and bake. Sometimes hubby complains I spent too much time in the kitchen. Bo pian. When I first landed, no maid, no extended family. Everything also DIY. Gone through some struggles and challenges. So learn lor. Got to start from somewhere, right? But I must admit I got a very good bunch of S'poreans/M'sians friends. Very supportive. My critics. And VERY honest also! They helped me improve lah. One time I made chai tau kuay. They asked me for a straw. Too soft. Hmmm....I think you are right. Got to be young chicken. I'll go check out at the stores.
miss_soojung SG Men can be difficult to please sometimes ... spend too much time in kitchen, complain ... spend too little time in kitchen, complain ... still we can't help but adore them Wow ... if I discovered that super soft chai tau kuay first I think I'd consider getting a copyright of some sort for it - coz when I become a lao ah ma, got no teeth and dentures become way too expensive in Singapore, I'm going to be wanting to hunt down that suck-it-up-with-a-straw Chai Tau Kuay to ease my craving! My cronies will be wanting a share too
littlestream SG So true. We have a friend who complains to my hubby that his wife doesn't cook. Oh, you are so kind and generous with your words. Soft chai tau kuay also can ah? But I stopped making already. Strangely, raddish "cuts" the skin, your know? If I grate too much, my fingers starts to feel stinging. Guess what? I was at the grocer last weekend checking out on spring chicken. The spring chickens look like super size like that. Ended up cooking Hainanese Chicken Rice. Anyways, I bought the glutinous rice already so will try out.
miss_soojung SG Raddish cuts the skin? Could that only be when it's being grated? The smallest size I've massacred raddishes into are cubes ... onions always get my eyes. And when I have little cuts on my skin, I dread mincing garlic Hmm ... how about asking KFC where they get their supply of tiny chickens coz I swear those chickens of theirs have shrunk
the Bear SG yeah.. radish are kinda.. i dunno.. will hurt your skin... wear gloves when grating it.. or use one of those things they sell over the TV.. the types where you can use a thingy to hold the radish instead of your fingers radish, i got a fool-proof radish soup recipe.. but it's chinese so i won't post it here
littlestream SG Funny. Really ah? The chickens shrunk ah? No land to run around lah. Cdn still got plenty of land. I once saw a turkey farm. Oh my goodness.........the whole field like white colour (feathers). And I felt like a real country bumpkin then. Da jin siao guai.
littlestream SG Originally posted by the Bear: radish, i got a fool-proof [b]radish soup recipe.. but it's chinese so i won't post it here [/b]Supposed to be on the table for dinner tonight. But hubby commented "smelly". Looks like I will have to end up eating it ALL by myself. Errr....only the green radish. I like green radish. Thanks for the tips on wearing gloves though.
miss_soojung SG Yeah, they did all right! A two-piece meal used to be enough for my dinner ... now I have to go for the three-piece meal Strange thing is, if there's no land to run, they should be fat little chickens, right? Eat, eat, no excercise ... I remember seeing little lambs with their Mommies in the English countryside skipping/stumbling about the wide open fields ... adorable! Some of them must have been just days old coz their umbilical cords were still hanging on their tummies! Won't see something like this in Singapore
the Bear SG the recipes are somewhere all over the forums and i've written them before.. if there's potluck one of these days, i make my infamous braised duck

I remembered going ga-ga whenever we drove passed fields with horses and/or cows.
littlestream SG Can fedex over? Actually, it is a cool idea. There is warmth and the socializing is better at home then say at a restaurants. I mean, that's my personal opinion only lah. Maybe people don't like the cleaning up later. But hubby and I make a great team. So, I guess it is individual or situational lah huh?
the Bear SG cows! sheep!! horses!! (after about 2 hours of the road trip) cow -_- sheep... horse.. -_-
littlestream SG I don't have like personal recipes leh. Mine all from books. If not fancy ones, then it's really humble ones leh.
the Bear SG uhh.. it'll survive the time but don't think it'll survive the trip it's easy enough to make but takes forever and a lot of work.. and cleaning up is very easy.. i don't understand why people make such a big fuss out of doing the dishes?
littlestream SG Hey, Bear........I get exactly what you mean!!! And I know we both are not the only ones.
littlestream SG Some people do fuss that's why I have a good friend who closed her kitchen and now eats out. I uses the dishwasher.......with or without gathering so all of us can have good time in front of TV. But please don't laugh. If type of food allow and group is big, we use disposables. Even cups have to have names written so they use the same cup over throughout the night.
littlestream SG You live alone or with parents? Got anyone inspect one or not? We also got handwash but depending lah. No hard and fast rule although I like the plates coming out from dishwasher.
