Concert Classique - Maksim

Maksim - A Croatian pianist who made "Flight Of The Bumble Bee" appealing to Gen Y.

I watched this amazing pianist played 3 times now and my latest was on 18th November 2009.

Acoustic. Amazing. This concert showcased what a talent he was (not that I don't already know). It was just him and the grand piano.

Each key stroke could be heard so clear. What can I say, it was marvelous.

I hope Maksim would come back again soon for another amazing performance. He can skip Japan or Hong Kong for once. :)

Sashimi

I enjoy Japanese cuisine. Well Sashimi is part of the Japanese Food Culture, I must say for some it is something that require some getting used to. But for others, its an instant hit!

Being in Singapore, access to great food from around the region is simply a stone throw away. Japanese and Korean Cuisine has taken over Singapore like a heat wave. So when you crave for either some Tonkatsu or Bimbibap you are bound to find it just round the corner or at the other end of the street.

We might not be a big country but I have to say we do have access to the food from around the world.

Sweet N Sour Pork

I grew up in a Cantonese household. Sweet N Sour Pork is something that my grandmother would whip up whenever we have a gathering. Be it for a birthday celebration or Chinese New Year, this dish will definitely have a spot on the menu.

Well as the years go by, culinary skills improve (along many kitchen disaster), I have and I think perfected a version that maintains the taste of the meat and sauce.

Take a look at the ingredients:

The Raw Ingredients

Pork coated in flour

Pork Sizzling in Hot Oil

Crispy Pork

The Sauce with all the Vegetables

Sweet N Sour Pork - wholesome goodness

I hope the photos speaks for itself, of course it is delicious :)

Simplicity in a Bowl

I love fried rice. Be it the Chinese / Malay or Indian version of it. I love the simplicity of it. No frills. Just put everything you can find in your refrigerator and into the wok and stir up a storm!

Some genius must have came up with this and now has the whole world repeating his (or her) creation and for many many decades.

Here I have my very own version. Made with simple and store cupboard ready ingredients.

Frozen Mixed Vegetables

Beaten Eggs (I used 5 of them) *loves*

Chinese Sausage (Lup Cheong)

Cooked Rice

Woking Up!

Magic in a Bowl!

So if you are looking for something to wok up on a lazy Sunday (maybe not) Fried Rice is a simple fuss free one dish meal. It is a dish suitable for all ages.
