My Cooking Adventure

My mother-in-law was not in last Sunday, so my hubby gave me an assignment to cook healthy meal for the whole day. On Saturday night i was scratching my head on what to cook, furthermore the only things that i know to cook confidently was maggi mee. Luckily i bought some cooking books last time, so it was time to put it into good use. Finally i decided the menu as follows:
1. scramble egg, toast and sausages for breakfast (make it american breakfast style...)
2. stir fried big prawns with cili padi (my mother's recipe :P)
3. cabbage soup with pork
4. fish fillet (fried lah of course)
5. stir fried green capsicum with straw mushrooms & chicken
Since i don't have much ingredients at hand, i ensure the portion is enough for both lunch and dinner (since for dinner i can just heat it up and no need to cook somemore.. haha..) Somemore i got help from my parents to buy some of the stuff that i need, since i nvr go to market b4 to know what is fresh & cheap.
For breakfast is easier to do lah, since just toast the breads and fry the sausages. For scrambled eggs, i cannot find any milk so i replaced with plain water instead (luckily my cooking instinct can work) and manage to get the same style & taste as what we see in Coffee Bean breakfast set :P. My husband give me an excellent pass!
Come to lunch, it was almost a tragedy!!. Only the prawns dish came out as what i had expected, and luckily taste just as nice. As for the soup, too little seasoning, the fish too much salt and bcome salty, green capsicum and mushroom was ok, just the chicken meat was cut of unequal portion, thus some is tender while some is hard :( My husband just complained on the chicken and soup (maybe he like salty fish??) and gave me an acceptable pass. My parents called me up to check on the cooking status, and laugh at me when they heard the results. My father was very supportive, and said he would like to eat what i cooked :) Really need to brush up my cooking skills already, so that can make my parents proud.
