Cooking for my Dad

  Posted by Picasa

My dad didn't enjoy much when dining out, that's why I came out an idea to cook at home for celebrating his birthday. He felt happy about this idea ( I guess he do trust his daughter alot even she did cook for around 4 times since the date she born :P)

Here are the menu on last Sunday:
1. 白灼蝦
2. 蒸魚(芝麻班)
3. 蒜蓉炒菜
4. 香橙骨
5. 猴頭菇湯

I jumped to prepare the food since 2:30 pm with Billy. We both carried a backpack to shop the materials. All the things I got at PnS (MY LOVELY PNS), I think I got the potential to be a housewife as I did love to shop at PNS. Maybe shopping is my habit in any place at any time. [laugh loudly]. Turn out we bought nice shrimp and fish at PnS. Billy kept on yelling coz' he had to pick up all dirty and heavy stuff for me, keke.

So ................. everything's ready, I started my cooking fr. 6:30pm and made all dishes at 7:35pm. In my eyes, I wonder I cooked for over 2 hours as it was not an easy task. I had to clean the cooking plate and 'WOK' many times. Suddenly, I think I shouldn't complain my mum's cooking as it is not easy to cook in such a hot and tiny kitchen.

My dad and grandmum's comment is that I put too many sugar to make the sauce of 香橙骨. I intended to make it look like 金沙骨, so I deep fried for around 15 mins long. My grandmum spot that I used the metal 'Wok' to fry the orange bone, then she kept on saying that I was stupid as noone fry the food by the metal 'Wok' [dropping tears]. My dad, billy, grandmum ...... were very straight forward to comment my food ....... for over 15 mins long ........ In my mind, I just felt like taken 120 mins hot yoga and didn't want to think but lying on my sofa.

In this crazy night, full of noise, comments and dog's bike (actually, during the time I was cooking, bobo always stayed behind me ....... sure he didn't support me, he just tried to grap something if I was accidentially dropped the food on the floor ! he is god damn smart!) , I finished my job and my dad felt so happy (can tell from the no. of beer cans on the table, :P). I do believe that cooking is not an easy task, it is an art and you have to handle many things on the same time. You have to be organize and made the right move (e.g. when to put sugar.. use what equipments .. etc) for making the tasty food. I do suggest parents should let their child to learn cooking, it is one of the ways to teach them how to organize the work and make their decision. We should respect the chief and our mum, the thing seems so easy but it is not what we think until experience it.

I will try to practise more in my cooking skill .... so that I can cook a nice food to my love, my family and my friends............... I am afraid my friends are sweating now [da da da] and onone loves me anymore :P
