Buffet at Promenade Hotel

Buffet dinner that we had on Clet's birthday, I thought I should post them here too...

Hippocrates' soup

This is the Hippocrates' soup that is recommended in the detox and rejuvenation programme that I underwent last week. It is supposed to be boiled (simmer) for few hours until all ingredients are very soft.

The ingredients are (for up to 8 servings):

• Tomato (1 cup)
• Onion ( 1 large one)
• Garlic (3 cloves)
• Celery (1 cup)
• Carrot ((1 cup)
• Potatoes (5)
• Pumpkin (1 cup)
• Leeks (1 cup)
• Distilled water

Preparing directions:

Cut all the above into cube and put them into slow cooker with distilled water just enough to cover the all the ingredients. Simmer for few hours until all the ingredients are very soft.

Do not put any salt and seasonings.

Italian Long Life Non Stick Frying Pan

After throwing away the scratched non stick pan, I was struggling to cook with the stainless steel and other frying pan, they stick and very difficult to clean up, an easy and simple cooking like making pancakes became disasters by using a stainless steel and other frying pans that I have. I was told that stainless steel pans will not stick at a certain temperature, well......I just couldn't get the right temperature.

Without doubt that stainless steel is a much healthier choice when comes to cooking utensils and cook wares but I am just not good at handling the frying pan so I bought an Italian made (it says on the label) Long Life Non Stick Frying Pan at a restaurant and kitchen utensils and cookwares specialised shop just outside my house.

With a new non stick frying pan, making pancakes and other cooking have been so much easier, besides saving on cooking oil, it also saves me time to wash it up too.

Meals at Kenny Rogers

Vanilla muffin, the dessert.  There are 3 flavours, Vanilla, Chocolate and banana.

 

Spaghetti Bolognese. 

  

 Quarter chicken with mash potato, potato salad and rice as side dishes

 

Half eaten macaroni cheese and chicken, can't wait for a photo to be taken.  My girls love the macaroni cheese very much, we have to ordered a separate serving after they finished the three portions of macaroni cheese we ordered earlier.

Malaysian Nasi Lemak with double egg yolks

I had this serving of plain nasi lemak for lunch last week. It cost me RM3.50. It is pretty expensive considering there is no fish or chicken to come with it. I usually buy a similar serving of nasi lemak for only RM2.50 the most from a stall a minute walk away, since my colleague recommended this shop so I gave it a try.

But one thing special about this nasi lemak is the double egg yolk, it is hard to come by. I shared the other half of this egg with my colleague as we ordered the same take away for lunch.
