Grilled Sandwhich
Hey all, todays blog is on the humble grilled cheese sandwhich. Most of you would have gone "huh? i need to grill the sandwich on a barbeque?" no you don't have to. the method is actually quite simple. Grilled sandwhichs aren't some thing you find in most asian eateries cause it is an invention by some angmo very long ago. (wiki it your self thank you very much =P)
here's what you need:
Grilled Cheese Ham Sandwich - Serves 2
4 slices of bread
4 slices of cheese
2 strips of bacon
A tomato thinly sliced
Mayonnise
Pepper
RSYC The Wharf
this is a back dated entry as i went there to eat awhile back. i go there on an average of once in a few months as john's parents are members of the club. btw, RSYC stands for Republic of Singapore Yacht Club.
normally we dine at The Wharf, which is an open-concept cafe that is overlooking the marina. the view from the cafe at night is spectacular, however the food is not as spectacular.
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.
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!
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!
Joy
