Pork Chops - Western #2

Pork Chops - Western #2!! My MIL's special request...she wasn't able to be home in time to cook dinner today & asked me to backup. So this is what I whipped up for 8 pax for dinner.

Pork Chops ~ marinated in Light Soya Sauce, L&P Sauce, Siew Heng Jao (Cooking Rice Wine), Master Food's Honey Mustard. Oven grilled @ 220'C for 20mins (but in a pan instead of plain grill). So I had lots of pork juices to make my sauce. But I again forgot to pound the meat a bit to soften it up. :p Boo-boo #2 with my Pork Chops!

Roasted vegetables ~ Combo of Indonesian Potatoes, Red Onions, Traffic Light Capsicums sprinkled with salt, pepper, a dash of wedges seasoning salts & dry chopped Basil. Roasted in oven for 20mins or so @ 180'C.

Roasted Butternut Pumpkin ~ Drizzled in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt & Black Pepper. Popped in oven also for 15-20mins @ 180'C.

Complimentary dishes ~ Fried Chicken Nuggets (love the Tempura Veggie Chicken Nuggets - seem to be sweeter & tastier), Grilled Marmite Chicken Wings, Cucumber Slices, 3 types of Mushroom cooked in Terriyaki Sauce + Siew Heng Jao + Light Soya Sauce.

Mushroom Onion Sauce ~ Cooked with Gravox Instant Chicken Sauce, added the pork chops' juices with fresh Brown Buttom Mushrooms & Onion slices.

My lovely spread of Pork Chops dinner :)

Pope's Housewarming Tea Party

Popes & SRM invited over to their house for a Tea Party last Sunday. The main purpose for the little get-together was "Housewarming". They have moved into their own place not too long ago. The bunch of close friends that we are decided to have a Pot-Luck do so not to burden Popes too much.

Look at our spread! Simply delicious & satisfying time we had eating & catching up :)

L-R:Green bean Thong Sui (Charbo), Acar + Cocktail Sausages + Fried Mee Hoon + Cucumber & Tomato salad (LSM), Bread pudding Sandwich (Popes), Chocolate Raisin Brownies (yours truly ;p)... and Pulut Inti [SRM - he can cook? ;)]

Another closer shot... the late entry... Mini Quiches (LFN & fiance)... we thought our dearest career woman that hardly cooks did this herself (she tried very hard to convince us actually.. but pecah lubang herself! hahaha! Typical LFN ~ really) These were really yummy & made by her fiance's Aunt who is a caterer & professional cook!
