Okay i never cook such flavour and tasty food in life before so this can be considered as my first attempt in cooking these two dish. hmm, it come out quite good although the looks of it is not that satisfying but it is very tasty thanks to all the sauces i use. I guess my sis find my cooking either too salty or no taste at all so she ask me to use a cook book. But i told her the reason why these two weeks my food have extreme flavour is because i change my original salt. apparently this salt is too salty as compared to the last time where it look so much bigger and this so fine which tempts me to put more. So yea, this is why i choose to follow recipe this time, no need to think just follow the recipe!
It looks simple but it is quite tiring in terms of preparation and cooking at the same time. Maybe next time i should study the recipe first before cooking. My Sis just so happen to choose the recipe and we straight go to buy the ingredients and started cooking. How Spontaneous is that? So i was so busy in the kitchen figuring how everything can come into place. At first i thought i don't have flour so i didn't use flour and so the second dish doesn't comes out well after frying the meat.

New Sauce in the House |
Welcome My two new sauce to my family. The Worcestershire sauce and the concentrated chicken stock. hmm, so many sauces now. I wanted to buy smaller bottles and apparently carrefour do not provide that so i was so called "being forced" to buy the bigger packaging one. They might go into waste if i didn't cook that often. I guess the chance is high cause i only cook during the weekends when my sis are back in town. So sauces, be patient, you guys will be with me for a very very long time.

Beef |
Beef. hmm, apparently this not so good shaped beef is cheaper and so it is hard for me to cook since it is not flat. All Well, since we are poor and yet want to eat good food, have to compliant and shall not complain. And stupid me, why didn't i cut them into half and least it will be much easier to cook. In the end, It is like 70 percent cooked and 30 percent raw. haha, it tasted still good though, just that my sis prefer it to be fully cooked.

Chicken Fillet |
So here comes the chicken. It is much more complicated as it need to be marinated then fry and then cook in the sauce. I hate frying in my place cos the fire cannot be control properly so it is hard for me to follow recipes that says cook them in low heat then in high heat. It seems slightly like mission impossible. Plus, my stupid brain forgot that i still have flour and mix them together causing the meat too look not crispy at all unlike the picture in the book.

Garlic & Onion |
So Garlic and Onion, basic items for cooking. Actually doesn't need onion, as it is for decoration, a bit wasting my money as i am currently a bit broke state. Plus the onion seems to be mutated a bit cause in the middle it have the skin exactly like the outside just that it is wet cause it situated between layers where it has moisture. So eww when i separated the good part and the so called skin part ( i removed it because i doubt that it can be eaten)

Pepper |
Pepper that is stolen from Mcdonald's. Starting to like pepper when we started to bake wash potatoes. Since we need to cook steak, so we grab a bundle of them from Mcd. Sorry Mcd and Thank you for sponsoring we the money crisis fellow, pepper!

Steak With Mushroom Sauce |
Tadah! My product! The First one is called " Steak with Mushroom Sauce"
It looked a bit weird because, first our steak is small in size and mushroom seems to over take the steak by a bit. The taste is good but i think i put a little bit more of the concentrated chicken stock which made it a little bit more salty.
|
Peking Chicken |
Nice Dish name called the Peking Chicken. Taste Awesome but just that it doesn't look crispy and it is without the sesame seeds if you compared to the picture in the recipe.

Steak with Mushroom |
All in all, i guess i need more practice in terms of cooking.
