Be back soon!

Will be back to update on a review for Xi Yan! Going for a short trip to Bandung and Jakarta!

Liquid Kitchen

I love chilling out with friends and just catching up with them, so i am constantly on the lookout for good places to chill! Few days ago, i went to Liquid Kitchen in Serangoon Gardens to chill with a few friends. It was quite a nice place to chill esp with their on-going House pour promotion! I did try out their food as well! tried the slow roasted spring chicken but was terribly disappointed ): the chicken was too dry, not only the breast meat but the thigh as well! its either the over cooked the chicken or left it in the fridge for too long and the meat dried up! didnt try their finger food like potato wedges but will try their other finger food next time, as they have a big variety!

the best part of the whole experience there was the drinks! the promotion was house pours for $5 nett! i had whisky dry, which was whisky and ginger ale. ( am i right? correct me if im wrong! ). My dear friend, guangs, picked the drink out for me and i was so grateful! haha it was a good drink! i tried the vodka cranberry as well but i felt that the cranberry taste overpowered the vodka.



sorry, blur pics cos the place was very dark! 



On-going Promotions !







also, they have promotion for a pint of Erdinger for $11++ ( cant really rmbr the price ) and a pint of tiger for $8++ ( also cant rmbr heh ). i will definitely go back for more of the house pour promotion before it ends!

Quick and Easy Ramen!

Nowadays, we have everything instant. Instant noodles, instant coffee, instant cash, instant messaging etc.. So today i want to introduce to you, quick and easy ramen! The best parts of this ramen is the taste and the convenience! It is basically like a chim or high class version of the instant noodle. 



Quick and Easy Ramen ( Serves 2 )

One pack of ramen ( easily available at all leading supermarket. this brand has awesome soup base and is cheap)
Two packs of soup base, any flavour u like ( inside ramen pack )
1 piece sea weed
Spring Onion 
Roast pork
( basically add whatever ingredients u like. i just throw in whatever is in my fridge )



Cook Ramen noodles in boiling water for 3-5 min. Do NOT overcook noodles! immediately drain water and rinse with cold water when noodles are done, to prevent the noodles from cooking further.

Add soup base into boiling water and throw in all your other ingredients. Once the other ingredients are cooked, serve soup with noodles. 
Garnish with spring onion and seaweed. 



Sorry i cant recall the name of this brand of ramen i like to buy! but u can take a look at the pic above and look for it at the supermarket! they have shoyu soup base, miso and tonkotsu (pork bones soup base). my fav one is the tonkotsu. Very very acceptable to satisfy ramen cravings and weird hours or if u think ramen takes too much effort to cook. Also, very good to impress friends or family members! u can fake that u took like hours to boil the pork bones for the soup base! hehe but of cos cannot be compared to those that i had in Japan.... ooohhhhhhh **drools*** 

quick go stock up ur fridge with this brand of ramen NAO!

Oreo Cheesecake!

My aunt loves cheesecake so i decided to do a baked version of the Oreo cheesecake for her. Today's recipe will be a baked version of the Oreo cheesecake. Will do up another post for non bake version!
Have fun baking!



Oreo Cheesecake


For cake base:
2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
3 tbsp melted butter


For cake:
3 pack of cream cheese softened
1 can Sweetened condensed milk ( try to get the low fat one, it will make u feel better haha )
1/4 cup sugar ( i omitted this )
1 tbsp flour
3 eggs
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 pack Oreo cookies squashed (but not crumbs)
Oreo cookies for garnish if desired


Method:
Preheat oven to 150° C. Grease 9-inch springform pan.
Fill an oven tray 3/4 full with warm water. Set on bottom oven rack while oven is preheating. This is to prevent the cheesecake from cracking when it is baking in the oven.



beat up Oreo cookies to crumbs. my fav tool : rolling pin

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and butter, stir to combine.  Press onto bottom and 1 inch up side of prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and increase oven temperature to 175 C.
In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add sugar and flour, beat to combine. Add  eggs one at a time beating only to combine after each addition. When adding the third egg, also add the lime juice and vanilla extract; beat until combined.

Using a spatula, gently fold in squashed Oreo cookies. 



Gently pour batter evenly onto prebaked crust


Bake in preheated oven for 50-65 minutes or until edge is set and center moves slightly. 


Shut oven off and allow cheesecake to cool for 1-4  hours. Run a warm knife around edge of cheesecake after 1 hour. Place in fridge to cool completely.





Poached Eggs!

Have you ever had eggs benedict? I absolutely love it! its a poached egg served with bacon on an english muffin with hollandaise sauce. so basically poaching eggs is like cooking the egg in a pot of water without the shell. well, sounds easy right? haha






Egg poaching is awesome because u dont have to use oil and its very eggy! a perfect poached egg consist of a runny yolk, a thin layer of eggwhite over the yolk and no raw eggwhite parts left. You might run into some difficulties at first but just keep trying until u get the perfect poached eggs!




Poached eggs
2 eggs ( or how many u wanna eat )
3 tsp salt
1 shallow pan ( or thick pan but i prefer using a shallow one)
water to cover more than half of the pan
vinegar (optional but i dont like using it as it spoils the taste)




Fill the pan with water and bring to boil. Once it is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and swirl the water in the pan to a smooth circular motion.
Crack the eggs into a small saucer or ramekin and slip the eggs in one at a time into the centre of the whirlpool. 
Allow the eggs to sit in the water until the whites around it begin to firm up and form a crust around the yolk. 
Remove eggs gently with slotted spoon or ur steamboat ladle and gently tap out excess water. 
Plate them straight onto your muffin or toast and enjoy with salt and pepper or hollandaise sauce.






Enjoy!
