Aglio Olio topped with eggs

I guess what makes creating a home made pasta so appealing is that you can always add in ingredients that make you happy. Now I'm not too sure if anybody has had eggs together with their pasta before but I like mine this way at times.

I made my usual olive oil base aglio olio spaghetti cooked with sliced onions & minced garlic bits, sliced sausages/bacon & mixed it all up with my Italian herbs seasoning, but topped it all up with some chopped hard boiled eggs with a dash of ground pepper.

What you end up with is a fiery concoction of fragrant spices balanced by the calmness of the hard boiled eggs. Is it interesting enough for you to try it in your home? :)

Mayo's Brunch #7

Wanted to whip up a chicken dish today for brunch but wasn't exactly sure what to create. With 'eating healthy' as my new motivation, I chose to cook a piece of skinless & boneless chicken steak with slices of french toast & lots of veggies as the side dishes. Now who says you can't have delicious healthy food? hehe..

Overview of my lovely brunch.

I wrapped a piece of the chicken steak with my french toast for the final part.
The sauce from the chicken was oozing out. Juicy!

Now I know brussel sprouts can be a little bitter, I usually boil them first with a dash of salt then stir fry the brussel sprouts till they get a little softer on the outer layer before laying cut slices of cheese over them & letting it melt all over. Kids will love it! Try it at your next family dinner. :)

I <3 Tokyo Disneyland

There's something magical about Disneyland. It somehow manages to transform adults into little children again. Seeing happy families, loving couples & cute chubby babies just brightens up your day. Here are some of the food to much on inside Tokyo Disneyland.

Botak Jones

While we were awaiting for our late night movie at 2.20am, we had supper at the little food place at Youth Park located just diagonally opposite Orchard Cineleisure. Botak Jones had just opened a new stall/outlet there & we wanted to see what the fuss about their claim of having the 'biggest/tallest' burger was all about. I ordered the Double beef patty burger while my friends ordered the sausage set that came served with 2 side dishes of their choice.

Humongous sausage set meal that was ample for 2 'small' eaters. The 2 side dishes was generous in portion. Here my friend chose the coleslaw & pasta salad which was quite tasty. Value for money I guess.

Here is my order of the double beef patty cheeseburger. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with it. Yes it was stacked up tall & all but the beef patty was surprisingly quite small. The few rings of onions were loosely placed & scattered with no other vegetables or condiments within the burger. The taste test was sadly disappointing as well. The melted cheese & beef patties turned cold within a few minutes upon serving, was difficult to bite into due to it's 'thick' patties & was a bit tasteless. Couldn't taste the flame broiled/BBQ-ed flavor. Definitely needs more marinate. Overall was a meal to fill the tummy but not value for money. :(

Mayo's baked rice

Had a craving this morning for a rice dish and I also wanted try out a healthier alternative to it. I also wanted it to be quick & easy to create within under an hour. Proudly introducing mayo's easy cheesy baked rice cooked with boiled broccoli & sliced ham. For my side dish, I created a fresh pan seared salmon with eggs & juicy mushrooms. For the finishing touch, I simply sprinkled freshly grounded black pepper topped with chopped chives. Voila! Bon appetit.
