Happy Mothers' Day!

Cos gg Redang this comin Saturday so cant celebrate Mothers' Day on the actual day...
Decided to make up for it... I never once cook anything for my mom before...

2 years ago, I bought and chose a complete teapot-cup-milk jar set for mom. On Mothers' Day, I woke up early to make breakfast and black coffee for her... =) That was my first few attempt at making nice black coffee... She was so happy that year...

This year, I took up a greater challenge --- To whip up a few decent dishes for dinner!!! This may be easy for some pple... But for a Peiru who dun even know how to cook rice and only know the basic maggi-eggs-hotdogs-nuggets, this is a real big challeng!!!

Took express cooking klaz at Joyce's place... I realli appreciate Joyce's father patience in explainin to me what to look out for while demonstratin how to cook... =)

He taught me 4 dishes yesterday :
1. Sweet and sour pork aka 'ku-lu-yok'
2. Fried Kailan and black mushrooms
3. Fried prawns with Cereal
4. Chilli crab

Well... I decided that I should not be TOO ambitious hence decided on the first 3 dishes...

Spent half a day buyin the required ingredients as it happened to be a monday when market dun sell meat... Had to go NTUC to find half of the ingredients required... Some stuff are just so hard to locate in a busy NTUC... Sigh... And I actualli got to "Excuse me, do u know which pork to buy to make ku-lu-yok?" to a stranger... Actualli not me lah... I sort of beg my little sis to do it... But the lady veri nice n friendly to walk over and lend us some help... Hee! Ma-lu...

With all the ingredients ready, I chased my maid out of the kitchen... Cos I realli hate it when I'm tryin to cook or bake sth, someone is 'spyin' from behind... I shall not bore anyone with the details... Just show u the products!!! (Actualli I'm very satisfied with my first attempt!!! Hee hee!)

First dish --- Sweet and sour pork

Second dish --- Fried Kailan with mushrooms

Third dish --- Fried prawns with cereal

Tada~! Here's the product from my 3hour-war in-the-kitchen... =)

And here's my panel of judges... Two victory signs from the mom and aunt... And my kitchen assistant (oso my sis)... *Mom refuse to be in the foto cos nv wear nice-nice... Haha~ But she's realli touched n impressed with the dishes... Yeah... Her smile made all my effort worthwhile... =D

Haha~ In case u dun believe... We realli enjoyed the dishes... See?!

Actualli my sis oso veri nice... She made coffee and almond paste (instant one lar) for dessert... Hee... Happy dinner... Happy Mom...
