I always think beef and onion are good friend, especially in stir-fry.
Ready to serve. Very simple and quick.
I really like this pasta. It’s creamy, easy and only needs one pot.
Yum!
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. He wanted to try this restaurant since half year ago. Can you IMAGINE???
Because it was quite close to Valentine’s day. Restaurants are very difficult to reserve especially those good ones. Last year, I tried to make a reservation in an Italian restaurant and failed. I had no choice but to change to another one. This year, I got better prepared and revered this restaurant almost 12 days before.
It’s located @ sixth avenue. Quite near to MRT station and easy to find.
What did we have in this Brazilian Restaurant? MEAT! Or to be more precisely, all kinds of MEAT!!!
WE chose full dinner, which costs S$52 per person. It’s kind of like a buffet, but not same as the regular buffet that we grab a plate and take whatever food we like.
Staffs are friendly. As we were just seated, some sauce and small bread, Which I believe is Brazilian cheese bread were served. Sauce on the left contains onion, bell pepper and vinegar, I think. As it tastes very sour. Sauce on the right is mint sauce.
Oh, and also the nice creamy mushroom soup.
Drink is not included, so we have to make an extra order of drinks.
And here is what the birthday boy chose:
Caipirinha. A kind of cocktail. Actually, we are not the alcohol type. To me, it tastes bitter and strong. Beer is also strong to me. So… It does taste special.
And the price is S$14.7
There is a salad bar in the restaurant. I didn’t take the picture.
I found this pic online
My husband took a big plate of salad from there. Fried mushroom is really nice. We kind of regret having so much salad, because the meat afterwards really really WOW!
Chiefs bring meat from the kitchen and approach to the table, telling us what meat that is and asking whether we would like some.

They just carry that big skewer and sharp knife walking around to each table. If you want some, they will cut 1 or 2 slices for you into your plate. Then they carry that giant skewer back to the kitchen to roast the meat again. Everytime, they just walk out with the fresh roasted meat. Whole restaurant is full of sizzling and fragrance.
(I really put a lot of efforts when writing this blog, because I need to put heavy mosaic to wipe out my husband. Yes, that mosaic is my husband.)
They have beef, lamb, chicken, duck, ham. And surprisingly, they have chicken heart and chicken liver. So juicy, tender and you may need to drink a lot of water. π
We almost full after the first round and tasting everything. For the second round, they also bring something new. Fish really looks like tofu.
And My husband’s favourite pineapple!
It’s really good to have some sweet and sourish pineapple after so much meat.
It’s really a meat lover’s heaven. And also a good place to go with friends and family. The experience is new to us and my husband is very happy with his birthday dinner there.
Staffs are very nice. They also tell us to have lamb with mint sauce. Very warm-hearted.
Probably for the next days, we don’t need to have any meat. π

Except beef, I also chose onion and French bean as the vegetable part.
Steak part:
Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat a pan. Drizzle a little oil. Place steak into hot pan. Fry for around 3 mins or till golden brown. Then flip the steak over. Add in thyme and garlic. Cut in a butter chunk. Scoop butter with a spoon and pour over steak. When both sides are brown, let the steak stand to fry the edge.
Then let steak rest in a plate.

Recently, I am focusing on South-Eastern Asia cuisine or Malay food, to be more specific. I have this deep crush on sambal chili sauce. I have banana leaf and fish in my fridge. So I decided to try this dish.
I watched many video on cooking sambal fish. And most of them make fresh sambal chili sauce. I am being lazy here. I just chose sambal bought from NTUC.
It’s really simple if you don’t need to make fresh sambal sauce:
Place a big banana leaf on the table. In the middle of it, spread some sambal sauce. Then place fish fillet over the sauce. Spread some another sambal sauce on the top. Wrap the fish with banana leaf. Then wrap them with a parchment paper.
In to the oven. 200 degree and 20 mins.
Very nice and lazy version of sambal fish. I love it.
1. Prepare Portobello mushroom as pizza crust: wash them gently under water. Remove the stem.
2. Mix 1 tsp finely chopped garlic with 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl.
3. Brush mushroom with butter & garlic mixture. Sprinkle very little salt over mushroom.
4. Cut cherry tomatoes into halves. Mozzarella cheese ball into small chunks.
5. Place tomato and cheese alternatively on the mushroom.
6. Drizzle a little olive oil and garnish with chopped spring onion or basil.
Into 220 degree C oven for 13-15 mins.
Since last time, we had very nice avocado milkshake in a hawker center, my husband cannot forget about it. And we decided to buy some avocados and make it by ourselves.
It’s very easy to make.
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado (remove peel and core)
250 ml milk (if your avocado is big, you can add a little more milk)
sugar cubes 2 (If you want sweeter taste, you can add more sugar)
Just put all ingredients into a blender. Blend till smooth. Serve with ice if you want it to be cooler.
You can also replace sugar with honey. I tried it, but my husband still preferred sugar.
It’s so easy and even my husband (who almost never cooks) can make it.
I cook curry occasionally.
One problem is that every time chicken and potato will be eaten but plenty of curry sauce is leftover. Actually, curry sauce is very tasty, I was wondering if I could use the leftover sauce to make a stew or something.
Tofu is so juicy and full of curry favor. I really like this way to reform curry and also use it to the utmost.
