We usher the New Year of 2006 with a quiet but yet unforgetful day. Mommy’s friends, HS & Aud (Faythe’s godmother) came over for slumber party. The day before, Daddy bought like 2-3kg of prawns, frozen fresh from the South China Sea (I think). There were 62 prawns, we divided the prawns into 4 packets of 15 each. And those prawns only cost RM40!!! After reading Jess’s, Twinsmom’s & Rachel’s Blog bout cooking prawns, I decided to try out Rachel’s recipe cause we love steam prawns. So New Year eve we are suppose to have steam prawns, one veg, one spinach soup and lemon chicken (first try).
Both HS & Aud came early around 4pm when Faythe was in slumberland. We had our tea, homemade yamcake (woo tau kou) from Aud’s Mom. Simply delicious..we almost finish the whole ice cream box hehehe…left only few pieces for Daddy.
Daddy was flying to Bali yesterday, and his flight delayed, so he was suppose to come home around 8pm. Mommy got the maid to prepare all the necessary cutting and cook the rice first. Around 630pm, we started cooking. The maid fried the chicken fillet. After that we cook the lemon sauce that goes with the chicken. This is first try pakai tembak, and since Aud is a good cook, she was here to help up (bless us). I’ll post the recipe up in separate post. Then we proceed to cook the vegetables (cauliflower, brocolli & beans) and the spinach soup. While we were busy cooking behind, HS entertained Faythe in the living room.
Daddy came back @ 8pm, just nice when we finish cooking, time to steam the prawns hehehe…..Took a before and after pic of the prawns. There were 17 prawns, and the plate is a bit small, so didn’t manage to arrange them nicely like what Rachel did. When it was ready, whoa, smells so good can’t wait to feast on the prawns.
After dinner, we sat down for a drink, they drink special concoction (honey + brandy), Mommy drink Guiness Malta. Gave Faythe a shower since she was all sticky and had rice all over. SHe was pretty tired too as she only nap for 2 hours the whole day. In the end both she and Daddy knock out around 1030, before the midnite clock strikes.
Left HS, Aud & Mommy chit chatting downstairs while waiting for the countdown, just on the tv, there were some programs. After 12am, we wished each other Happy New Year, HS went to cook Maggi. Then we hit the sack around 2am. All sleepy and doze off instantly.
