Mayo's fried noodles

Was itching to throw a simple housewarming party for my friends & woke up early to prepare for it. With no time to waste, I whipped up a huge serving of dark sauced fried noodles with assorted ingredients like luncheon meat & egg strips. Also made some neat self made vegetable fritters that was a real best seller that day. Topped everything off with a tray of assorted chicken nuggets, sotong balls, tori karaage & chicken cocktail sausages.

Mayo's carrot cake

Was feeling a little hungry and wanted something rather sinful. Grabbed a packet of semi prepared white carrot cake that I bought from my local supermarket & got down to business. I chopped the huge chunk of white carrot cake into loose cubes & pan fried the lot together with some yummy XO special sauce, 'cai por', beansprouts, 2 eggs, a spoonful of homemade 'shrimp paste' chilli & some dark soya sauce. Piping hot dark sweet carrot cake at 1am. Guilty!

Mayo's reunion dinner

I wanted a simple CNY reunion dinner where everybody would cook their own food & would be easy to clean up thereafter. What better than a nice hot steamboat dinner with precious delicacies from the sea. Here's what was on the table: chicken broth soup base, shitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrots,fish maw, prawns, crab meats, sotong balls, scallops, crab sticks, ngor hiong, kelp etc.

Facts: Benefits for Shitake mushroom. Invigorate your immune system, promote optimal health, a hearty mushroom that's good for your heart, a powerful antioxidant, has been discovered in mushrooms.

Facts for Antioxidant:Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as enzymes (proteins in your body that assist in chemical reactions). They are believed to play a role in preventing the development of such chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts.

Mayo's aglio olio

Felt like having some Italian food today so I grabbed whatever I could from my humble fridge & set about whipping up my own concoction of Bacon Aglio Olio Mayo style. Instead of the usual sauce based pasta, I made mine slightly different adding just a dash of olive oil & a handful of mozarella cheese & herbs/spices. The end product was a rather dry & crispy texture but nonetheless tasty.

Organic Cafe Xperience

Decided to eat a little healthier today with my friends. We visited this organic cafe and to our surprise, the menu had local laksa, Hainanese chicken rice etc! In the end, we ordered something different (see pix below) which tasted rather delicious :)

PS: we also ordered a side order of buffalo wings which was much smaller in size than regular non-organic buffalo wings
