Wishing everyone a Blessed and Merry Christmas.
On Christmas eve, Serena baked a Fruit Cake. It still remains to be completed as we have to wait till the supermarkets are open tomorrow in order to get the ingredients needed for the icing.
This is what we had for dinner. We decided to keep our Christmas dinner simple this year. Check out the other photos here.
It's been a long while since we updated this blog. Guess we just got tired in having to update it frequently with what we are doing. Instead of words, we decided to just let our pictures do the talking.
To find out what we have been up to or where we have been to, just head on to our flickr pages. Serena's flickr stream can be accessed from here and you can have a look at our latest NZ trip photos and some photos from the Tulip Festival from my flickr stream. Cheers!
This morning on our way to church, we saw some interesting Human Powered Vehicle along Southbank Boulevard - Swan Street Bridge. Heh and only upon updating this blog then did I realised that this weekend was Melbourne Cycling Festival.
Summer seems to be approaching fast. It was 31°c today hence we had a lazy afternoon by the beach. We were suppose to be playing frisbee but I guess most of the time we were goofing around in the water trying to retrieve the frisbee and admiring dogs. Yeah we were decent enough not to oogle at bods. ;-)
Siew Yok aka Roasted Pork. Finally after 2 tries, we managed to get it right. The thing is to get the right cut of meat (pork belly) and also to monitor the grilling to ensure it is perfect. Nice crispy skin with a layer of fat just beneath it and nice succulent meat that is cooked well through. Would anyone like to order a plate of it?
I love my baby back... baby back... baby back ribs... Well not exactly baby back ribs but good enough. The nice juicy and succulent meat covered in deliciously sweet tomato sauce seasoning and a whiff of charred burnt meat. Served with a side of toasted garlic bread, baked sweet potatoes and lettuce. For dessert, we have a gorgeous Chocolate mud cake that Serena had baked. Rich chocolate cake covered with a layer of ganache and a generous sprinkle of chocolate powder topped with strawberries and lined with almond flakes. Taste as good as it looks! Mmmm..... no wonder both of us seem to be putting on weight. :P
