Basic French Toast - Home Cooked

It's my birthday today so what better way to start the day but with some yummy french toast. It's a really very basic recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• sliced bread
• butter
• sugar and syrup, optional

How to cook:

Mix the milk and eggs in a bowl. Dip the bread into the mixture. Melt butter on the pan and then place the dipped bread, cook and flip until both sides are brown. Place on a plate, sprinkle with confectioners sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.

I didn't have maple syrup so I just used condensed milk to sweeten the dish. The leftover milk and egg mixture, I cooked like an omelette.

Happy cooking and happy birthday to me! =)

Grilled Cod Fish @ F.I.S.H

Grilled Cod Fish

A selection of salads from the buffet at F.I.S.H

Okay, I totally spaced out and forgot the exact name this dish was called. All I know is that it was grilled cod fish and had what I think was lemon + butter + herb sauce.

F.I.S.H (man, that's annoying to type!) is Fish & Co.'s new concept restaurant. The draw is that when you have their value set meal it includes an eat-all-you-can buffet of salads (weirdly enough, they had nachos). Their salad buffet has a good enough range of choices. I tried their Chili Crab Salad - basically shredded crab stick in Singapore's famous chili crab sauce. I also tried their Papaya Salad (shredded and slightly pickled papaya), Seafood Salad (mixed cold squid, fish and prawns), Potato Salad (sliced potatoes, slightly grilled) and Tomatoes & Basil (tomato wedges mixed in fresh basil and olive oil).

As for the main dish I chose, it was a good sized cut of Cod fish topped with lemon butter herb kind of sauce and served with grilled potatoes and tomatoes. The fish and sauce were nice. The potatoes were overcooked and cold. The tomatoes I didn't eat because I already had my fill of tomatoes from the salad buffet.

It was my second visit to this restaurant and my first try at a value set meal - with the salad buffet. I probably won't do the value set again. I ended up already half full with the salad (I only had one round of samplers in one little plate) by the time the main dish arrived. I ended up not finishing the dish which was a shame.

Rice Cooker Poached Salmon - Home Cooked

We were out of gas, I was working from home and I was not in the mood for pizza or fish burgers. I decided to try and see if there was anything I can fix with just the rice cooker on hand. I also only had salmon in the fridge. Thanks to Sir Google (yes, I knighted the search engine), I came up with this recipe:

Ingredients

• Salmon
• 2 cups rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Garlic
• Butter
• Salt & Pepper
• Rosemary leaves

Preparations
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. In the rice cooker, mix the rice, water, soy sauce and garlic together. Place the salmon on top of the rice mixture, place slices of butter on top and sprinkle with rosemary leaves.

Turn on the rice cooker. Once the rice cooker beeps, everything should be cooked and done.

And viola! You're done. Quick, simple and easy.
