Lemongrass Drinks
a drink i paid rm9 in Belanga to learn =="

 n i modified it to my own cocktail version ^^

lime juice + soda + lemongrass + kaffir lime leaf
+ vodka + whole japanese plum

we old people dun like to go merebut-rebut
in the mall or restaurant with the younsters
so we decided to cincai eat at home
since both of us were busy at work
.
although cincai but it's still Valentine's Day mar...
curi-curi sneaked to supermarket to get ingredients
.
was planning to make Western or Italian
but seems like every big occassion also same thing... boring lor
so i decided to make a special Localicious Valentine's Meal
with

Grilled Chicken Chop n Pandan Rice Platters ~ ♥
(n one big pot of hearty ABC soup behind the scene)

Chicken Chop:

* slice open those thicker part of the meal
(so tat it'll cook evenly n won't curl up)
*use a fork to poke the meat all over
(the more the merrier - ya... very cruel but it'll get marinated nicely)

*marinate with mirin, pepper, oyster sauce, rice wine
*grill 5-6 mitutes on each side

 with some smashed lemongrass on the grilling pan

Pandan Rice:
*blend shallot, garlic, ginger n pandan leaves into paste
*blend the paste with some salt

 n a spoonful of planta into washed rice
*add water n some smash lemongrass, stir well - cook rice as usual
( i steamed my rice)

 simple yet blissful Valentine's Day

snuggled at home with a great movie
sipping Lemongrass cocktail n munching chocolate cupcake ♥
