i wanted to blog while waiting for my dinner to cool down...but blogger took too long to load for some unknown reason, so i ended finishing the dinner first...and then blog :p

first up, dinner recipe!

what:
====
1/3 X Chinese Egg Noodles @ $1.25 / 420g
1/5 X Happy Lams Fish Tofu @ $5.99 / 500g
1/4 X Happy Lams Beef Balls @ $2.20 / 200+g
1/4 X Bean Sprouts @ $0.49 / 450g
1/12 X Farm Fresh Eggs @ $1.99/dozen
Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce
Chicken Stock (non-MSG)

how:
====
1) Boil in a medium sized cooking pot (stainless steel preferred).
2) Put in Chinese Egg Noodles. Separate noodles & stir occasionally for 2 minutes.
3) Turn off flame (or power...) & rinse noodles in cold water. Set aside.
4) Put water to boil again & add 1 tsp of Chicken Stock. This makes the soup base :p
5) Add Fish Tofu, Beef Balls to soup. Stir occasionally for 2 minutes and add return noodles to soup.
6) Crack egg over the noodles, making sure no shell remnants get mixed in.
7) Add bean sprouts to pot, and make sure that it is partly immersed.
8) Turn off flame, and leave the pot for 2 minutes.
9) Add oyster sauce to taste and dig in!

Total cost of meal : Roughly $2.50

not bad eh?! you can tell i'm pretty bored now :p i've been writing up a cover letter for my Accenture application, but can't be stuffed at the moment. Anyway... the noodles is what I usually cook for dinner at home. I usually add some fresh mushrooms as well, but forgot about it today :) Hmmm... meat pie is still cheaper though. $6.28 for 6!! muahhahah.
