Cook-Out

Had cook out at Irving's house today. Reached the MRT station at 5:30, then met up with Pris and helped take over the groceries from her colleague, think he's called Yan (seems quite a funny guy). We then went to Irving's house to prepare to cook. But we found we dun have enough meat and ginger, so I went down to get. By the time we started, I think its about 6:30 already.

Pris started by cutting the broccoli into smaller chunks. She also cut the beans into bite size. And we moved on to the meat, the chicken fillets and breast meat. She demo-ed to me how to cut and I proceeded accordingly. And guess what? I discovered how to tear off the tendons... hee..

Later, Pris prepared the tendoori chicken's sauce while I was in-charge of cutting the garlic, ginger, and onions. Tze Yee had to teach me how to cut the ingredients before I could even do it. haha.. The onions can really sting the eyes man!!!

We started cooking after preparing all the ingredients. Tze Yee started cooking the vegetables. Tze Yee and Pris experimented with different sauces, and amazingly it turned out very well indeed!! I tried my hand on cooking the tendoori chicken. This is my first dish in my entire life, other than instant noodles and plain rice!!

Pris tried a new dish. A dun know what marinated chicken with glass noodle. I can't rem the name, except that it has sweet chilli in it... hahaha... Anyway, she cooked the dish very well, although we were constantly thinking if the meat is cooked or the sauce is tasty enough (we tried it to make sure). After this dish was cooked, we were prepared for dinner, finally. Oh... and Alfred came at about this time too, just in time for dinner... haha... Time check, 8:15

Altogether, we cooked 5 dishes. A fried rice with broccoli, a soy sauce vege, a tendoori chicken, a beans with shrimps, and Pris's dun know what chicken with glass noodle. What a spread!! We tucked in and managed somehow to finish all the food. Tze Yee suggested a evaluation of the food, so that we can cook better next time. The review came back very well indeed, with Pris's dish highly praised! Personally, I like the beans, cos i'm biased towards crispy vege.. hehe... no offence Pris... :P

After dinner, Alfred and Merv wash up. Me and Tze Yee went to play guitar and clavinova. hmm... dun know where's Irving, probably playing with his comp. Pris was bathing, cos of her morning blading. After everyone is done, we proceeded to have gelato... yay!! We shared some jokes over the gelato, mixed with a cake Alfred bought. It was so fun and the food is so good... thanks to Alfred and Pris (Pris bought the gelato... she's so nice hor...). After gelato, its game time. Junming also came at this time (he came earlier, but went off for something).

Then came the games. Irving and Pris was playing this cool game, some game similar to the bubble gun game. What attracted me to go and look at what they were doing is Pris's screaming and screeching... hehe.. its always interesting to hear Pris scream... haha...

We proceeded to play a card game called High Society. There were 4 of us, Pris, Merv, Irving and me. We're supposed to get the highest points using the fixed amount of money each of us have, without ending up having the least amount of cash. That was a tough game man.. with all the others outbidding each other and me. I think very slowly one leh.... so slow Pris actually hurried me when it was irving's turn... haha (meanwhile, Tze Yee got addicted to the bubble gun lookalike while junming is playing with the guitar, think Alfred also) Merv won the game, guess who got the least money? hehe

After the game, it was very late. Junming, Pris and me shared a cab home (Alfred had already gone back by then). This was a very fun day, and I'll be looking forward to more cookouts!! I'm sure Pris will have more recipes from her friends, or other sources... hehe
