A Chaotic Valentine

The Menu
~Winter Chicken ala Annie~
~Penne Bolognaise ala Kenneth~
~Zucchini Carbonara ala Rita~
~Choco Mochi with Nutella & Peanut Butter fillings ala Liv~
~Rambutan Punch ala Rita~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~













The Chaos

CHAOS is what you get when you try to squeeze 4 people cooking 4 different items in little teeny tiny Hong Kong kitchen (200 cm x 90 cm). Feel the chaos (and the fun)


1 cook, 3 busy -bodies

Liv's flour sifting stance

Annie's sizzling (chicken) legs

You should hear the music background of 4 growling stomach

Couldn't wait for dessert, we ate the bunches of flowers from the gentleman

I didn't know chickens could look this good

We suck at portion control, but tat's good cos each of us get 1 lunch box

Don't blame global warming for it was snowing in Kowloon...blame the Thai glutinous rice flour

A great idea of torturing method: stare at this, but DON'T eat

Why our mochis aren't the same shape nor size?

Kenneth made giant ones

Annie made medium ones

I made tiny ones, Liv made perfect ones with double filling of peanut butter & nutella mix

What you didn't see is a beautiful scene of cheese splattered all across the table

A dash of vodka into the punch

The vodka explains this behaviour
