ah... that lobster salad it's dry ice "smoke" right...?? i guess that is perfectly all right... but i think more often than not the steam from hot food would spoil the photo huh...? LOL bring air blower to blow the steam away is abit kuazhang... and yah i guess have to take photos from an angle (typically i dun like taking food photos from the top anyway)... but aperture cannot set too wide else will end up with too narrow DOF huh...?

Nah, the air blower is always in my cam bag. Its for cleaning the cam, not blowing steam off food but it does come in handy (espec when it's not appropriate using my 'mouth' in front of friends) ;p I don't usually shoot wide open for food (typically f3.2 and above), by using 40mm and above there's a distant to the food hence I mentioned no fogging issue.

Jahat! :sticktong me oso joking what
cc say thx ah for the remote, compatible with hers so can use liao

No problem, you are always welcome

Nah, that's an 'escape'. Food was the only way to keep my lil boy still, he's been running around non-stop for hours :sweat:
Iirc, it's called Shrooms Bite - a flaky pastry with mushroom filling & melted cheese on top. Yup, it was good.

The word "melted cheese" just made me hungry again hahaha

Fishball Noodles

This was taken in East Coast Park FC. The fishballs were pretty good, chewy and springy but a lil disappointed with the over-cooked noodles.

Mei Cai Kou Rou (梅菜扣&#32905

Mei Cai Kou Rou (梅菜扣&#32905 or steamed pork belly with preserved vegetables is a traditional Hakka dish and one of my mom’s best cookings. Unfortunately due to health consciousness and my mom’s age, we only gotta enjoy it on special occasions now.

Unlike the usual mei cai kou rou, my mom’s way of cooking is a lot more complicated. Two different preserved vegetables are used, the salty and the sweet. They are washed, dried and seasoned with sugar, rice wine and spices and pan-fried till fragrant.

The whole pork belly is marinated overnight and then grilled till slightly browned (the lean part is covered with aluminum foil after bout 50% cooked). It is then cut into thin slices before placing it on top of the preserved vegetables and covered with another layer. It is steamed over medium fire for hours, cool in the fridge and re-steam before serving. This mei cai kou rou melts in the mouth and yet retains the texture and the top layer remains chewy.
