Paella and Chocolate Cake on a Friday

Paella

I have always love to try out dishes from various cuisines. It is really interesting to see how people of different cultures eat.  It was the first time that I tried this Spanish rice dish. It was interesting to see rice served in a hot plate for a change. The type of grains used was different from the short grain that we normally eat with Chinese dishes.

Chocolate cake

Chocolate Swiss roll cake. I have yet to bake any Swiss roll and this is certainly something on my list on things to bake 🙂

What have you been eating this week?

Har Gow and Egg Tarts on a Friday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Foodie Friday

5 colored Har Gow

Last weekend we were over at  Mouth restaurant in Chinatown for Dim Sum. It has been a while since we went out for Dim Sum as R had been out of town. Monkey boy loves eating Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)  It was the first time that we have seen Har Gow in so many different colors. It traditionally only comes in white and was nice to see it in different colors.

Egg Tarts

Egg tart is Doggie boy’s favourite dish when we go out for Dim Sum. This plate of egg tarts literally melted in his mouth when he ate them. It was certainly savory.

What is your favourite Dim Sum dish?
