Hey guys and gals! What’s for dinner??

My parents just went Taiwan on 18.04.2015 (Sat) & I am actually #HomeAlone for the very first time in my life seriously thinking how to make my dinner plans!!

19.04 (Sun)

Day time wasn't much except watching the Flash, playing ClashofClans and lunch at Bangkit kopitiam. I was already planning for dinner with Audrey and figured out that we can cook ourselves a simple dinner. It was really an impromptu thing as we grabbed whatever ingredients that could go together. 

Main: White Snapper
Sides: Dou Miao & Spam Fries
Wine: Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Audrey prepared the ingredients which took roughly 20-30 minutes and the cooking was done within another hour; I was spam fries in-charge, while Audrey took care of the fish & vegetables.

With Audrey's plating, the meal really looks up to standard, but the moment of truth is when we take that first bite and  then we knew that everything was worth the effort. I would give ourselves 8/10 for effort and 5.5/10 for taste; this shall spark off the journey to have more home cooked meals!

20.04 (Mon)


For the past 26 years, there are quite a number of moments that that I am left alone in the house during the weekends when my brother is out with his activities and my parents are out hunting for delicious hawker food, but I know they are definitely coming back home before the night ends.

However, the definition of loneliness has changed ever since 18.04.2015 (Sat) as my parents are on a Taiwan trip and my brother isn’t home most of the time after he got married.


My dad always like to say,
你好命啊! 没有爸爸,你一定会饿死了~”
Translation:
“You’re so lucky that daddy buys food for you or you’ll starve to death~”


And I’ll always rebut, 
我哪里会饿死!!? 我自己会去买东西吃的!”
Translation: I won’t die!!? I know how to buy food myself!


In short, I didn’t really appreciate or realize how fortunate I am until this very day when I am really really #HomeAlone and have to figure out my dinner plans, but I do now and will put in more thoughts when it comes to dining with my parents.

Thank you for reading & I hope you have a nice evening with your friends / family!
