This is something this house can never get enough of!! Buy a costco size 2pk of smoked salmon and place on ritz crackers gluing them together with cream cheese. Such yummy goodness!!! Everytime I look at these, I wish I had more in my tummy!!!!

Leftover Xmas Dinner

Last of the leftovers from xmas with salad for veggies instead.

mm-mmmm good

DIY lunchables

Remember when you were a kid and you had lunchables? Back then, it was crackers, sliced ham, sliced cheddar cheese and then a candy for dessert? Well, this is practically that but you could say a somewhat fancy version. Nom nom nom

Christmas Dinner

 

This is Christmas dinner!  We got the ham, cheesy mashed potatoes, quinoa/rice blend, nappa veggie with mushrooms (in place of our normal green bean casserole dish) and garlic bread! Om nom nom nom.

Wish you were here!

(We also had a pretty delicious dessert... assuming you like caramelized bananas and cream puffs and waffels :D I know I do!!!)

Dim Sum

These star wars cookies were handmade by my dear friend, Euge. It was so delicious! We even thought it was store bought from Trader Joe's or something. Yummy!

Dim sum on christmas eve! (Nobody felt like cooking because we'll cook lots tomorrow!)

Chicken Spaghetti

 Chicken spaghetti complete with a salad topped w tomatoes and carrots and garlic bread and a glass of moscato.

And dessert which i made. Obviously, JK. Dad bought it an asian market. It's vanilla, coffee and orange on the inside with chocolate on the outside and cream holding the insides. Yummy nom nom nom

Cheese Ravioli Salmon Beef Potatoes

I brought these food and dessert bites back from work. We had a holiday luncheon and there was so much leftovers. I had to bring some back home to feed my boys! It was mm-mmm delicious. My bf and I could probably whip up something like that.... i think.......

Hot Pot Items

Ingredients for our Hot Pot:

 Tofu and cabbage

 Imitation crab meat, fishballs, rice noodles soaked in water

 Sliced wagyu beef. JK. Sliced brisket.

shark fins. seaweed. more rice noodles.

No picture with the actual hot pot as I forgot. But there's another post that has it back in November.  

Tacos and Burritos

Same ingredients as yesterday only instead of lima beans, there's peas on the side.

Burrito

Burrito made with a bit of rice, sliced brisket, shredded mozzarella and lima beans.

And then you top with these deliciousness :D

Bulgogi

We like to mix our bulgogi with onions. It's really scrumptious! 

These are cornbread muffin. We bought food coloring and decided to test the neon blue on half the cornbread. It turned out greenish. Looks fun to eat!

Jook

 Top clockwise: XO sauce (scallop), fried gluten, fried egg, pickled cucumbers, fried dace with black beans.

Jook (aka rice porridge) is a great on a cold night. I made this jook with cooked brown rice in Swanson chicken broth. Pretty much just cook the rice some more until it's soggy. I added another egg in there for fun. Usually, we would use the hundred year old egg, but we didn't have any. Chomp down with the sides pictured above! One of my favorite dishes for a chilly night.

Butter Lemon Garlic Basa Fillets

I cooked the fillets with melted butter, lemon, and minced garlic in a frying pan with lid over for about 8 minutes til almost done. Then, let simmer til the liquids dissipated and then browned them nicely. It came out delicious. (But it better had because the day before, I baked it, and it didn't bake nicely. It was still raw after 40 minutes at 400F -_-)

Cabbage and Ground Pork

Cabbage, sliced onions, minced garlic, and bay leaves 

Cook the ground pork first and season a little with salt n pepper. Set aside.

 Cook everything in the first picture until the greens and onions are soft. Add the ground pork. Season more with salt and pepper.

 Saute shrimp with rice wine and a bit of lawry's.

This is what got plated for dinner! It was yummy. (We finally got a meal that's more veggies than meat... to uhh, make up for the past days of non-veggie meals).

Various Stuffed Quesadillas

 Eggs scrambled with tomatoes and chopped green onions.

 Sliced beef sauted with red robin's seasoning (same as yesterday's)

 Tiger shrimp sauted with rice wine and lawry's salt mixed with browned chopped onions.

We would've eaten all of the above with say, rice or potatoes, but sadly, we did not cook the rice or mash any potatoes ahead of time. We were left with the only remaining but delicious option of FLOUR TORTILLAS! :D

The tiger shrimp version of the stuffed quesadillas.

The sliced beef version of the stuffed quesadillas.

Both were AWESOME!
