Vegetarian Potato Gratin/Scalloped Potatoes
Since I had leftover from the 1kg of baby potatoes, I went around looking for potato recipes haha.
And I stumbled upon this recipe from
http://www.messyvegetariancook.com/2010/07/28/dairy-free-stovetop-scalloped-potatoes/
Made this for lunch!!
Okay. So my pictures don't look nice but it tastes good. Hahaha.
Changed the recipe a little and this is what I did.
Ingredients:
- 6 baby potatoes, sliced thinly
- 125ml milk and 75g greek yogurt
- 1 cup of shredded cheese* about 90g
- 5 pieces of broccoli (plucked from the original stem)
- Salt to preference
*I used Emborg shredded cheese - cheddar 200g from fairprice which cost $6.80
Directions:
1. Place thinly sliced potatoes across the pot, then add salt (to your preference) over the potatoes. Cover the potatoes with milk and yogurt and then simmer for about 15-20 minutes till fork tender. (Mine took about 15 minutes!)
2. Place broccoli in a separate pot. (My brocolli took quite long to boil. So I suggest boiling this first) Leave it in the pot for 1.5 to 2 minutes after the water starts boiling, then drain.
3. Add cheddar cheese to the pot with potatoes. Mix it slightly. Wait until it melts and it's ready to serve. (Mine took about 5 min for the cheese to melt.)
4. For presentation, place potatoes on the plate and broccoli at the side.
I've already started eating my potatoes so didn't do any presentation for the dish to take a nicer picture, hahaha.
Anyway, my mom likes this! And my picky brother said it's okay to eat more. Hahaha.
Oh, and broccoli tastes really nice when you boil it!! Anyway broccoli is optional. Any vegetable can be used.

Potato Salad
So I made potato salad today!!
Had potato salad the other day at Starbucks and I loved the taste so I decided to try. Haha.
The one I had today doesn't taste like Starbucks one. Haha. But it's okay.
I feel like it's a much healthier option.
Idk if it's only me, but when I see lots of oil eg butter, or sugar in recipes I won't feel like eating it.
The original recipe I followed is over
here.
I modified the recipe a little since my mom doesn't eat eggs.
Ingredients:
- 10 brown baby potatoes (I wanted to get the red one but it's not available in the supermarket)
- 50g carrots, chopped
- Greek yogurt (I just added till I saw all the food are covered haha)
- 10 baby tomatoes, halved
- Parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1.Cut potatoes into quarters and put into a medium pot. Add enough cold water to the pot to cover the potatoes by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender (about 5 more minutes after boiling).
2. While waiting for the potato to boil, bring carrots to a boil.
3. Place potatoes in a large bowl and add carrots, yogurt, salt and pepper. Stir until everything is mixed well.
Idk how many servings they will make since I had this for dinner.
And greek yogurt actually tastes nice!! Haha.
Anyway, I found a
post that tastes like Starbuck's potato salad!!
Shall try next time.
And yupp, as you can see from my recent bomb of homemade food on instagram, I've got a new hobby - cooking/baking. Lol.
Too much interests.

I Just Wanna Be Myself
My humble wish for 2015! Hahaha.
Just did stats prelim today.
I think I'll get probably 20 marks lol. ㅜㅜ
At least it shows what areas I don't know and am not sure of haha.
Happy CNY 2015
So I painted my nails yesterday!!
They look better after watching youtube nail tutorials hahahahah. I think this current design is the best I've ever drawn lol.
Btw, happy chinese new year!
It's another year and I have grown older.
Prelim is next week and I'm not productive at all. :(

Love at Second Sight
Instead of studying as much as I can, I'm watching shows. Sob.
Where is my motivation!!!
Anyway, I finished watching Love at Second Sight 一见不钟情 which is the latest Rainie drama. 楊丞琳有新戏! /o/
I liked the first few episodes as I loved the interaction between Zhe Xi and Luo Luo (Rainie's character). Later on it felt like o_o. When are my 2 characters gonna end up together in peace?!
Cried buckets for this drama at the back.
2 people who are in love with each other, but can't be together. Touching family scenes too. Never cried so much for a drama before. Though I mainly cried bc of the obstacles the 2 main leads face.
Went on to search for more cuts after finishing the drama. Saw interviews saying Rainie picked up this drama bc she liked the script. At the beginning, we see the romantic comedy, then the second part of the script is filled with love/hate themes.
Went to search the cast after that. HAHHAHA. I saw people writing that the china version has cut off some parts. Taiwan would air the full version. Does this mean I have to watch the 27 episodes all over again? Lol.
Overall, I think this is a good drama. (Though at times, I felt like killing off quite a number of the characters, lolol) It lets us think about love, marriage and families.
Oh, by the way, this is a China and Taiwan collaboration drama. I saw comments saying they're turned off bc of the china accent, but I think it's still okay in this show!

Homemade Chocolates!
So I made chocolates today!
Bought the following ingredients at NTUC fairprice:
1 x baking chocolates 340g @ $6.90
1 x sprinkle @ $2
Got cereals at giant.
My brother helped me to buy aluminium foil cups at SKP.
50 pieces for $5. Pretty pricy tbh. But to keep the shape of the chocolate, would have to use alumium foil.
Followed the instructions here exactly!!
Had wanted to do matcha chocolates, but saw this video that seems even easier.
So yupp, matcha one probably next time. Haha.
