The streets are exceptionally quiet today, except for a bus load of chinese tourist shouting over each other's shoulder about catching the tour coach at 7. I got home early after a grocery shopping trip at PAM.
Bought myself over 20Euros worth of grocery. Could probably last me a week I hope.
I was feeling adventurous...and besides the fact that I had had a gelato earlier before the shopping trip at the piazza, I wasn't really feeling hungry. So I unpack my groceries and start on my cooking journey.
It's my first time cooking rice, without the help of a rice cooker. I didn't know what to do at first, just sort of recalled one of my friend telling me to put the water 2cm higher than the base of rice and keep stirring. So I stood by the stove and stir my way till the rice turn to porridge...and from porridge to sort-of-become rice again. Not solid though. I didn't know how it will look like once its cooked or how to even tell if its cooked. I just took my chances and lift it up from the stove after 15mins of continuous stirring. Leaving that aside, I decided on the dishes I would like to have. I've thought about having canned pork cubes. I brought two from home. But that alone is kinda pale, so I opened up my fridge and found 2 sausages from the same pack as yesterday's dinner and 4 eggs...i think those are from yesterday too. So i heated the pan and start frying an egg. Since I had scrambled yesterday, I thought I would have sunny side up today. It turns out my sunny side up became a molten lava. And the sausages was later a lil too over-fried. A disaster. Well, at least the canned pork cubes is still good. And the rice...hmmm well...it wasn't that bad too. The next time...I'll definitely do better.

Wah Sei Man, the sausage looks great...
Um, why did you stir the rice? You should have just covered the pot and, under a small flame, let it be until done.
my way somehow same like chee meng... u need to stir once awhile to avoid the rice sticking on the bottom. Cook until there's less water liow. When u only see like alot of bubble of air on top of the rice,then u can stop cooking and don't open the lid. Leave it there while u cook other dishes. IT WORKS EVERYTIME!!
wow, im sure that was a good experience. i never cook rice without a rice cooker myself. and the egg looked.. anyways, still edible i guess. :P
