Recipe: Braised Chicken Wings With Dried Bean Curd Skin

I first learn how to cook this no fuss, one-pot dish from my Mum.

This recipe is easy to clean up and without having too much dishes to wash.

I would cook this whenever I feel lazy or when I have simply ran out of ideas over what to prepare for dinner!

This is a fairly easy recipe as you just dump everything inside a pot and wait for it to be done.

Sometimes, I would prepare slightly more so I could eat it over several days.

The meat would have absorbed all the flavors and needless to say, the robust sauce goes very well with white steamed rice too!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Bon appetit!

5 chicken wings (trim away the fats)

Ladies: Would Your Mother Film You Stepping Out Of The Showers Naked And Post It On The Internet For The World To See?


Apparently, Gan Lu Lu's (干露露) Mum did.

The elderly lady made headlines recently for her bizzare actions.

At that time, I was baffled why would a mother resort to such extreme measures just to find her daughter a suitor?

Then, I found out that Gan Lu Lu is an actress/model in China.

三盅两件 Soup Restaurant @ Jurong Point

Soup Restaurant at Jurong Point
Having walked past the Soup Restaurant so many times, I still have yet to try their food. Since Dad's birthday was round the corner, we decided to hold his birthday luncheon here last Saturday.

I called and booked a table for ten at their Jurong Point branch.
