Home Cooked Food For Simple Kids

ACTUALLY and frankly, I am a lazy "cooker", er..no.. to be more precise, I don't mind cooking but I detest the beforemath and aftermath... ie. to prepare what to cook and to wash up later.. Who shares the same laziness with me?? No one? Good.. so I m the only lazy one around...

That is why I always give salute to housewives....besides giving their "services" to their husbands and kids, the house also needs to be serviced too.... cleaning up and getting food ready for her beloved family at least 2 times per day if not 3 times... correct or not, housewives?

Ok cut out the crap, claire... and get on with the displays here....

I admit I am not creative cooker....cook... Most of the time, I only cook what they like to eat... so that they really eat and eat and not leave anything overnight... good kids... not demanding, no high expectations from yours truly here... (still talking crap...)

These are some of their favourites...

stir fry pototoes with minced meat


seasoned prawns with ginger....


fried eggs with chinese sausages (lap cheong)


brocolli with crab filament...


and lastly... this simple fast soup.... with anchoives (ikan bilis) and green vegetables....

  4. Hi Reanaclaire, and you call those 4 dishes simple? Holy Smoke! Makes me wonder what when you come up with a 'difficult' dish, ha ha.
    So happens I love these 4 dishes as my wife cooks them often.

    We have sambal belachan once or twice a week, and I love ikan bilis...as well hum yee.
    But my all time favorite 2 dishes is 1/ hum choy pai kuat tong.
    2/ That mackeral fried fish with chillie sambal stuffings....must be friend very crispy.
    Add sambal belachan addition, and you'll see me polish off 3 big plates, especially on a cold snowy night, ha ha.

    Reana, next day when you in the mood, try make your Ipoh style fish head curry. As well kangkong belachan....ha ha, love them too.
    By the way, every wife, mother has your problems, its not being lazy, but don't know what to cook? Ha ha.
    Next time ask me. Ha ha. Lee.

  6. thanks U.Lee for your suggestions. I dont know how to cook complicated dishes like kau yoke or stewed this or that... i must learn from my mum somehow... that is why my range is not wide..haha.. sometimes the choices are just not there in my brain and i end up cooking almost the same old thing often..

  11. wow, the food looks really good, wei!! =P some more got 5 dishes

    I suppose I wouldn't mind cooking/learning to cook if someone would do the preparations for me, hehe

    I normally do the washing up, 'cos his 'Lai Ku'(youngest aunt) cooks, and I kinda like washing up =P

  12. yeah..if i m not cooking, i prefer to wash up too.. like during festive seasons, i dont know how to cook complicated dishes, so i end up being the washer and i dont mind..haha..in fact, i prefer to clean up ... the cook normally is too tired to eat by the time she finishes cooking.. *so smart hor*
