Cooking attempt on homecooked meals xD

As what I mentioned in my previous post, Adrena and Ee Jane came over my place again to do some cooking. I stayed over at Adrena's house the night before so we can go to the market early the next morning. She woke me up at around 8.30am and it took 43 miss calls to wake EJ up -.-'' So we reached the market more than an hour late, zzz...

We headed over to Rifle Range's market and bought some wet and dry ingredients. Then we headed over to Tesco to buy some packets and cans goods.

Ingredients we used:
First plate - Baby carrots (chopped), Asparagus (cut) and Onions (sliced)
Second plate - Broccoli (cut), Tomatoes (cut), Green Bell Pepper (cut) *which we ended up never used* and some Red Chili Padi (chopped)

Squids, Prawns and Dried Shrimps. *I don't take prawns but I ended up the one peeling off the skin =x*

Three big chicken drumsticks (boneless and skinless xD)

First bowl - Onions (chopped), Shallots (sliced)
Second bowl - Crab meats (cut)

Lots of kangkung @_@

Chopped garlic

Cooked Rotini. *I cooked this, muahaha =P*

Ingredients group photo, blek.

Photos of the Chef and her sous chef, hehe...

Sous chef in training.

Chef giving some cooking tips to her sous chef.

Well, in case any of you are wondering, yes, I didn't cook any of the dishes. I held the role of testing the food, wakakaka... Oh, oh, and also giving out instructions from the recipes we printed out from the internet, keke. And I did most of the cleaned up as well T_T Voluntarily though, as I don't want the kitchen to look like a mess when my owner comes back today.

Anyway, now for the dishes ^-^v

Chicken drumsticks with mushroom sauce. The sauce is nice, but the chicken was kinda bland as we didn't marinate them with anything -.-

Ee Jane's burnt scrambled eggs with button mushroom. Over-fried and very dry. As muc as I like to eat eggs, but I don't like burnt eggs, blek. EJ had to eat most of it.

Mixed veggie with oyster sauce gravy. This was not bad but I only ate the enoki mushroom. The gravy was nice, I think due to the oyster sauce.

Kangkung Sambal Belacan. This was nice as well. Ate quite a lot of it. I like kangkung belacan.

Sambal Sotong. The dish we most looked forward to and the dish least tasty, haha. The sambal sauce is nice, but the squids were tasteless. Maybe it was not simmer long enough for the sauce to soak into the squids. Though the squids were already very cooked, to simmer even longer would resulted in rubbery squids? o.O

And this, our very own customized minestrone soup. Cooked too much of this. Asked Adrena to bring the whole pot back. Too bad Audrey not in Penang, think this is one of her favourite soup.

Tadah!! Group photo of all the dishes. All in big portions, enough to feed 5 - 6 people at least. And there were only 3 of us, zzzz...

But all in all, it was quite a good attempt. Might try again next time, but hopefully not so soon =P Cleaning up is tiring -.-''
