ByFood: An Idea for a Chicken Liver Dish

Two days ago, I wanted to eat some chicken liver. But it was always sold in big packets at the supermarket and there were bound to have leftovers. It was boring to cook chicken liver stir fry red / green chillies all the time, and I admitted it could look distasteful to many people. 

So I thought long and hard for something different and decided to make chicken meat and liver kebabs from the uncooked leftovers. It wasn't any extraordinary dish but definitely easier and tastier to eat. I chose red and yellow peppers because Rainy told me before that these are sweeter than the green ones.

Ate these with rice and some other side dishes

ByFood: Fuss-free Lemons

Lemon is rich in Vitamin C. Yes, we all know that... 

But how many of us would actually buy a lemon frequently unless we have a lemon recipe to cook? Furthermore, there are signs at supermarkets like NTUC  that would tempt us to buy more lemons than we need for instance "1 for $0.40. 5 for $1.80". Of course the latter is a better deal, well to me. 

But what happens next after I use up 1 of the 5 lemons for a "Fried Chicken in Lemon Sauce" (FCILS) dish? Maybe make a flask of lemonade with 2 lemons (which I don't really fancy but have to finish drinking up in 2 days) and save the other 2 for later use (and nobody knows when I'll make FCILS again). 

Perhaps some of you who are reading this already know what to do with all your lemons. But there are still many others who want a good $ deal yet have no idea at all.

ByFood: Steamed Pumpkin Cake (Inspired Version)

I realized that it is not exactly a fortunate thing to have favourite food stalls, especially the traditional and authentic ones. Many of these stall owners grew old and retired, else passed away without passing on their skills.  Quite a few times when I went to buy my favourite food, only to see empty lots or new faces cooking the same thing but of sub-standard taste. I never got to eat the same thing again. 

At current, I have a favourite food stall at Clementi Ave 2 Hawker Centre which serves food only till around 10am. And it is manned by 3 very old grannies. They sell steamed yam cake, steamed pumpkin cake, peanut porridge, chee cheong fun, and vegetarian beehoon. So far, I find that their yam and pumpkin cakes are one of the best that I have eaten so far. Those tasted and looked very traditional which reminded me of my Grandma's cooking. 

Afraid that one day the same tastes would be lost forever (if you know what I mean), I decided to try my luck in making at least one item. This would not be easy, especially to be able to get the same texture and right taste as theirs. I really hope that I will lucky!

Steamed Pumpkin Cake made by the 3 very old grannies

Well... it turned out that I was not so lucky afterall. I tried making the pumpkin cake from leftover porridge, flour and water. The rest of the ingredients used were Chopped Pumpkin, Chinese Sausage, Chinese Mushroom, and Dried Shrimps. Even though Mum and I felt the pumpkin cake tasted nice, someone else in the house said that a pumpkin cake should not look like that. 

Shallots were charred due to an unexpected phonecall ;[

I will keep trying till everyone likes it! =="

ByFood: What if our Haze Level is in "Good" range?

I did not wake up of my own will this morning. I was woken up by Whatsapp beeps from my food dream. In it, SK cooked a full table of vegetables for me to eat. After replying to the messages, I badly wanted to go back to the dream but Mum came home. This was what happened next... 

Hand-drawn depiction by SK of the most accurate scenario. 

BySK: Our De-stress Meal at Mos Burger!

My Maths paper is finally over!!! I did not know how to do many questions so hopes for a good grade is dashed. ~T_T~ *cries till floods up Victoria Harbour*

I badly needed to regenerate a huge chunk of my brain cells that went dead after the mathematics ordeal. This is really necessary because I will need all the energy to focus on my revision for Chemistry! In order to do this, I have to de-stress and I must EAT. So my friend and I went to MOS Burger for lunch.

We are starving! =3

Only the salad is healthy, I guess. 

ByFood: Easy N Light Dessert for Gastric Troubles

People with gastric problems are usually very busy because they do not eat regular meals else they eat food that are often bad for the stomach to de-stress. I am plagued with gastric troubles too due to hectic schedules since schooling days like zillion years ago. 

Just two years back, I started finding various natural remedies to cure it because it did not help my bank account much by visiting the doctor way too often. There are hundreds of ways suggested by netizens to help relieve gastric problems like gastricitis and stomach ulcer. Also friends suggested that I eat this and that to help relieve the gastric pain and discomfort. My idea is, destruction caused by food can be countered the same way too.
