The Craving

this morning i had a thought. char bee hoon.

i went about my day pretending i wasn't thinking about cbh, i did my work, read my emails, talked to my friends... and then cbh kept on bothering me. i want, i crave, i need cbh.... so when the clock striked 12, i rushed out of the office, went to the supermarket, snapped up all the ingredients, rushed home to cook.


First i made sambal tumis (bottom left), then i made charbeehoon with fishcake and nuggets. I am satisfied.

It's even more satisfying watching mountain man gobble up his packed lunch in under 5 minutes. everybody happy... except my ahyi who may quit after discovering that i left the kitchen in a royal mess.

lilsnooze> yeah it was quick. 1.5 hrs including the shopping and frying and eating and walking back and forth. but not much cutting involved tht's why very fast. just blend and fry and soak all at the same time!

Wow. You are really fast. I take about 1 hour alone just to prepare the ingredients. And then another 30 minutes cooking it.

You are chu shen!!! ;)
