This is the beautiful Lamb Panini at a cafe nearby our place. The fiance took me there today and I must say, the red onion and yogurt combo was perfection against the crispy panini. Droolssss
I made some Rogan Josh to go with the roti canai that my fiance scored from the King's cafeteria.
I tried my hand on Claypot Rice. Cravings is the mother of experimentation. Turned out really yummy especially with 'cili padi'- birds eye chillies and lots of ginger! I've really been considering to buy halal chicken if I can find. Something about the quality of the meat when cooked. It's much more tender and less toxic tasting. I don't know yet if there is a difference but I'm keen to find out. I asked the lady working at the Malaysian High Commission in London and she was surprised to see non-Muslims wanting to find halal chicken.
My fiance made the most lovely fried pork for dinner. He added many special ingredients. Much more complicated than it looks, hence it tasted so amazing.
I also found some lovely okra from a grocery shop nearby. £1 for a bowl of fresh okra. It made three whole servings. Tasted brilliant cooked in TomYam paste.
We walked from the High Commission to Hyde Park.
The Rose Garden.
Squirrels were everywhere. They were not afraid of us at all. Don't know why a group of chatty girls sitting next to us shooed them away while squealing in horror and terror. One of them cursed. Another said: STOP STARING AT ME! How can something so adorable be petrifying?
Grabbed the latest issue of Glamour as they finally had a red nail polish freebie!! I have been looking for a proper red for a long time now! Happy! And it was affordable!
We continued walking all the way to Piccadilly Circus. On the way we saw this cool building!
I brought my fiance to JapanCentre for the first time. We were thrilled to see some Daiso stuff. The collection was quite small but still entertaining nonetheless..... especially for people who want to make cute eggs.
We decided to get some sushi for lunch. He was overjoyed to see salmon sushi at a cheaper price than elsewhere. I was happy to see Unagi!
I bought five, huge and fantastic prawns for only £1.45! They were the sweetest prawns we both ever tasted. Kudos for its freshness. I managed to bag some lovely pork bones for soup too for only 50p a pack. What a deal! I know where I'll be going back for good raw supplies now. This is my favourite thing to do with fresh whole prawns: Steamed with wine and egg. These were such a luxury.
My husband stir-fried lovely vegetables with ginger and lemon. This was delicious.
We also scored a whole bowl of huge tomatoes for a pound from the same shop. These reminded me so much of the Greek tomatoes. Fat, red, sweet and juicy! So good when heated up slightly. Sainsbury Basics no more.
