Blender Weekend

Let's start with the verdict on the Indon flavoured chicken. Generally good, though I had to make a few changes.

We didn't get kecup manis and so replaced it with 生抽 from Malaysia.
Didn't get tumeric powder, and used tumeric paste.
Used fresh candlenut instead of candlenut powder.

Other than that, the ingredient was more or less the same, albeit a little more salty. Yummy nonetheless.

Thank goodness Lee's place has a blender. It would have been painful to chop up all the ingredients and blended them by hand.

Now, we wait for Nick for the photos of the chicken.

Note to self: next time we have a bbq, have a hot side and a cooler side. Really helps with the heat control. It was good when I can decide how long the chicken can be cooked for and for it to come out nicely browned.

Which brings us to Sunday. Advocado shake, but it's a little too sweet. Guess too much honey, and the milk itself is a little sweeter than the usual Meiji. Blender again.

And dinner was pesto chicken. Although we're not really suppose to add water to help with the blending, did it anyway. Pretty decent I gotta say. Peanuts, basil, permasan cheese, salt and pepper and roasted garlic left over from lunch. It's pretty nice.

Although I gotta say, that the pesto by itself is probably not salty enough as a marinade. The Parmasan is salty, but not THAT salty. So, I actually salt the plate before I put the chicken on. That way, can control the saltiness. Works pretty well.

And then it's blending the watermelon with the soy milk. Not bad. Too bad I can't have a blender that handles ice. Nevertheless, it's all good.

Right. So that's it for the weekend. Till next time.
