Blessed Christmas!

This year, our family had a christmas dinner and present exchanges at my home as usual (keke hope it will continue year after year and become a family tradition). This is a very special Christmas as we added a new member - Natalie - and it's her very first Christmas!
Whatz a feast without a spread! This year, instead of ordering or catering, its a all home-cooked favourites.

1) Steamed Crabby Crabs
Preparation: Wholesome without any additional flavourings just a dash of ginger.

Verdict: Yummy, meat is super sweet and juicy.

2) Fruity Roasted Chicken (1st time trying out the recipe)
Preparation: Marinade chicken overnight and roast it with green apples and strawberries.

Verdict: Tender and juicy meat. Yumyum.
3) Terriyaki Salmon
Preparation: Marinade in Terriyaki sauce, pan fried Salmon and drizzled with Terriyaki.

Verdict: Good!
4) Ebi Tempura
Preps: De-shell prawns, dip prawn in tempura flour and breadcrumbs and fry.

Verdict: Sinful yet delicious and very crispy (finally break my jie-kou to eat seafood after 4months)
5) Enoki Mushroom with Bacon Wrap (1st time trying this recipe too though we had a similar recipe where we wrap bacon with aspharagus the year before)
Preps: Clean up mushroom and bacon and wrap. Grill the wrap in oven till done.

Verdict: Tata! Nice combination. Crunchy, juicy and very tasty. Again, we din add any other flavourings.

6) Angel's Hair spaghetti with white clams and prawns
Preps: de-shelled prawns, clean the clams and cook together with spag sauce.

Verdict: yummy. spag was just nice, not too soft not too hard. Sauce too, just nice. :)

7) White Christmas Ice Cream Log Cake (bought from ICE3)

Everyone raved about the choc ice cream, not so sweet. Yummy! Edaddy had a hard time chopping up the cake *sweat*
Haha we all had a very yummy and satisfying meal and a great time unwrapping the pressies!
