Time to stop eating out and cook at home?

I reckon i have like 2-3 posts (maximum) out of the 476 posts that touches on the fact that i actually do enter the kitchen and cook something that is worthy for the camera.

In my Australia younger years, the only edible thing i could churn out was good al-dente instant noodles. Apparently that has just gone down hill when i came back to Malaysia.

With some responding that the economic storm is coming, to learn how to cook something more substantial at home seemed nothing short of being a good idea.

So it was.

Steak and vegetables.

Medium Rare steak; seasoned generously with salt and pepper. Rub in some thyme and garlic as well or like i experimented, you can use butter as well. Heat your non-stick pan up on high heat, and let it cook around 2-3 minutes a side till it is charred like the picture above. Rest a couple of minutes while you boil those vegetables up.

Happily dig in with some wholegrain mustard on the side.

Cost? RM 15 for the Rib Eye (200 plus grams) and RM3 for half a broccoli.

Beats paying over RM50 for a steak just to eat it outside.

Oh yeah, and to finish it off; have a piece of prune layer cake made famous by Indonesians but claims as it, that the Singaporeans make a better one.
Bengawan Solo; all over Singapore. Definitely a version worthy of the Indonesian one. A 8-9 inch square is available for 50-60 SGD. Definitely not cheap.

Something to repeat this week for dinner, perhaps?
