National Day Feast (With TV Off)

Happy National Day to us all! Just look at the spread Dracoholic prepared for us all! She was already pottering around the kitchen before I woke (which was around 12pm).






What a spread!!!


The salad dresed with honey mustard vinegrette . I don't know what dressing this is. I think Satellite made the salad.





Totmato slices with mozzerella on top & drizzled with home-made basil pesto, typically called caprese.




Blanched french beans, tossed with lemon zest, olive oil and sea salt.


Creamed corn with bits of bacon inside!





OK, I love potatoes. These roasted potatoes, carrots & parsnips were excellent! Roasted together with onions & garlic. The parsnips were sweet & tasty, well worth the exorbitant price you pay for parsnips here. We bought parsnips on sale before. Even at half price, I still found them to be horribly expensive!


The highlight of the evening, Dracoholic's slaved-all-day roast chicken stuffed with lemon & rosemary & her home-smoked ribs with her secret kick-ass sauce. The chicken (even the breast)was tender & juicy. Oh she used sakura chicken. It was tasty, all right! ;) The ribs turned out very well indeed too! I would have never imagined smoking your own meat at home! Jian was kind of put off by the smell when the ribs were smoking & even asked me, 'What's burning????'



You drizzle this herb sauce on the chicken for extra flavour.



We finished the night off with home made sangria that Dracoholic & Satellite were furiously chopping fruits for the night before!




Once again, thank you Dracoholic & Satellite for the splendid feast!
