X'mas Dinner ~ Antz's 2nd try

27 Dec 07, 2245hrs

On 22 Dec 07, Jazs and Antz worked out a DIY menu for this year last festival, Christmas!!

Started planning on 17 Dec 07. Actually wanna ask a few friends (like 2006), but no response. *duhz! Whatever, X'mas is still happy with Jazs with me.

Preparation of dinner started as early as 1500hrs. First item is the Frostie~mellow Cake! We brought a Sara Lee's Pound Cake. Took a couple of Oreo, crushed them, 'wet' them with HL milk. Like cement to brick *Blap!, stick the Oreo mix onto the cake. Using mini Marshmallow forming the shape of Mr. Frostie with an hat. Crushed some hazelnut as the base, without further delay, send it to the fridge.

Second dish - Ham Capsule ~ Antz's creation!!

A ham brought at Carrefour, cut half. Dug out the center portion, (badly done by me, but I managed to correct my fault by a spoon.) The dug-out bits were further chop chop!! into even smaller bits! I lay a slice of cheese then ham bits, *repeat this for 3 cycles. Cover the capsule with a slice of ham, dump into the toaster for 5 minutes. Witness the cheese melt, gel to the ham. Peeping once a while, I was really afraid that the whole thing will go burst! I gotta clean Jazs's house like mad. Ok, end result reveal...

Take a look inside. It tastes kinda salty, but I feel it is a nice try!

Up next is the Salad.

Using Cherry tomato + pineapple + ham. By the sides are cooked prawns topped with crabsticks bits, veggies and Thousand Island sauce. Grabbing the whole prawn salad, stuff it in my mouth, it tastes really great!

This is the prawn mix I'm talking. Mmm..

Next, we cook the 5 Apple & cheese sausages and Ox Tail soup at the same time. The Ox tail taste real bad! Jazs drank a small bowl, Poor little Antz gotta gobble up the whole pot!! *Argh!!

Lastly is the Steak.

It really takes me 10 minutes, turning this plain beef (I did not marinate it) like prata (I think for more than 30 times), before it is nearly well done, I poked a few holes, pour a teaspoon of XO. I thought it will taste fantastic (From the way I cook it.) In the end, it still end up over-cooked. *Zzz...

So it is all done up. We set up the table, ready for our candlelight dinner. I must say it is a job well-done by the both of us, and we enjoy our dinner very much. Take a look at the photos below. Look pretty good right? Need my menu for your next X'mas? Or might as well hire me la. *LoL!!!

Anyway I thanks all who sms me during X'mas eve and millions apologies to those whom I mis-out with my season greetings.
