Paella

Salam everyone, 

Hola! We missed eating Paella, the famous rice in Spain.  Mimah found Paella pan during her trip to Stafford and brought it to Newcastle. After so many weeks, we finally had Paella last friday. Actually we wanted to make black paella but unfortunately squid is now out of the season and this means no fresh squid thus no squid ink. So we made original paella. Bought the main ingredients from Tesco and the rest from Tsang,  shared among 5.  It took us abt 3 hours to prepare! Very long time but worth it.

Feels like we're in Spain. Haha. Just kidding. But serious, I don't mind going to Spain again to eat the Paella!

CNY Celebration

Salam all,

Today I went to China town to witness the Chinese New Year celebrations here in Newcastle with friends from INTI.  Dragon dance as an opening followed by Unicorn dance, Lion dance and Fire crackers.  Regardless the coldness, the weather was so fine compared to yesterday.  It was unpleasant yesterday but today it was sunny the whole day!

We were craving for dimsum since last year! Now that we have a steamer in the house, we can make steamed food. So I googled for dimsum recipe and found Simple Shu Mai recipe and we made our own Seaweed Dimsum . Jeng jeng jeng! DIMSUM for dinner, finally! First dimsum for 2009 is homemade! And we made egg tart as dessert.
