jtsky can cook, so can you!


Hi jtsky, I also enjoyed your Carbonara very much, mm mmm mmmm:thumbsup:

Glad to see you have posted another recipe, your secret chilli sauce looks wicked, can't wait to try it. There are a couple of ingredients that I dun know what they are, maybe they go by another name? Calamansi and chichalok? I would ask my wife she is in Spore and I am stuck here in Darwin, she has gone out for the evening and will only be home well after I have hit the sack.
I love chillies and have at least a dozen different varieties growing in my garden and would like to try your sauce.

Thanks, Clunk, Chinchalok adds an unique taste to chilli, it goes well especially with herbal beef/mutton soup (one of the hainanesse cuisine), but it is kind of acquired taste that some really hate it. Try to find out. :)

Thank-you jtsky, I have acquired a taste for most things eg century egg, durian, herbal soups, the only thing that I have not liked is my wife's bitter gourd soup. I am stopping at the Chinese Empourium on the way home from work to see if I can find Chinchalok.

Thanks, grumpy. Notice that too. I am not good in flash photography. Will adding a diffuser help? :)

hmm, it might.
But I am not totally sure, I usually shoot food without flash and use as much ambiene light as possible.
But i guess if you use a diffuser or bounce the flash, it will definitely not be as harsh.
 

i am hungry after looking at your pictures.. yummy yummy..
