Delicious Dinner 53.

 A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.

Happy Call pan cooked free range chicken with potato and carrot-rub some salt over the chicken and cooked it on both size-tender and well lean meat.

Heinz 57 red beans with scrambled eggs with added tomato sauce.

Stir fried Chinese Chard with garlic and anchovies-super crunchy.

Red Lips Kueh Pie Tee Cups with fillings.

My mother is a Peranakan from Melaka, and she is a fabulous cook and we get to eat a lot of authentic Nyonya's dishes.

Kueh Pie Tee is one of them and it has been a favorite Peranakan delicacy for decades.

I remembered my mother used to make the kueh pie tee cups herself but not now !.

Now it is widely available in most supermarket-Red Lips Kueh Pie Tee Cups@S11/for 50 pieces, is one of the best around.

The Pie Tee cup is extremely fresh, crunchy and taste like an ice cream cone.

It is best to savor it with your favorite fillings.

Mine is shredded cooked yam bean, carrot, mushroom, shrimp and cuttle fish in a dark and light soy sauce-filled it up in a Pie Tee cup and topped with a spicy home made chillies/vinegar sauce.

DELICIOUS DINNER 30.

A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.

Her signature Tofu-with diced carrot, finely chopped Parsley, cereal and some fish paste-full of protein and very nutritious.

Deep fried Pork ribs-well marinated with Nam Yee (preserved beancurd), pepper, sesame oil, egg and a sprinkling of sugar-lightly battered with Tapioca flour-crispy, fragrant and meaty.

Pan fried sliced Brinjal (Egg plant)-so that it would not be too oily, topped with minced dried shrimp, pork and sambal belacan chillies-best with rice!

STUFFED FLOWER CRAB SHELLS-2

I like these stuffed flower crab shells made by wife.

The night before, we had steamed flower crabs for dinner and these crab's shell were salvaged to make this dish!


The Fillings are:
1/4 part of fresh minced prawn,
1/4 part of minced pork (with some Tapioca flour)
2/4 part home made fish paste,
Finely chopped Garlic, Carrot and Spring Onion,
Salt, Sesame oil and Pepper to taste.

Mixed all the ingredients thoroughly and stuffed it into the Flower Crab Shells.
Deep fried it on low flame in a wok of hot cooking oil for about 15 minutes,
Colander it and leave aside.
Cook shredded crab meat in a Tapioca starch gravy,
Pour it over the cooked stuffed flower crab shells and it's ready to be serve.

FYI-First and second on the left are male crab shells while those on the right are female crab shells.

The fillings was full of textures- the crab meat/gravy was smooth and perfect with rice or you can just slurp it up with a spoon-Heavenly!.
