Slow Fried Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

2pcs Chicken Fillet
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
1 can mushroom
1 pack cooking cream
Garlic 
Onion

Dry marinade the chicken with pepper, paprika and garlic for 12 hours. Fry in a low heat. 

Sauté garlic, onion, and sliced mushrooms. Once caramelized, pour in the cooking cream. Let it simmer.

Put the mushroom creme on top and serve with hot rice.




VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma again waved her magic sandok to come up with this recipe. The food is delicious. The cream really went well with the chicken. The soft texture of button mushroom gave more variation on each bite. Maybe next time she'll perfect the cream to gravy-like viscosity.

Cali "Cafe & Bar" - American Buffet Breakfast (Weekend)

ABBEY: Cali Cafe is located at Rochester Park - few minutes away from Buona Vista MRT station. Right after my night shift I went there to have buffet breakfast with Wilma, Ate Sol, and Sam. 

It is a small place but is warm got a homey feel. I got chicken franks, spring rolls, olio pasta as well as sunny side up and scrambled egg. As usual I ate a lot of bacon. I liked the ones that is in the bottom of the warmer. They're crispy and has less fat. 

Before going there we confirmed that the price is less than 12.90sgd; we even checked for the dates. But unfortunately, as per the staff the promo is already over. The experience is good but would have been better if we got discounts :)














WILL: We were with Sam and my sister Ate Sol when we visited the Cali Cafe. We love buffets and we really think that we can save more on that rather than ordering ala-carte. 

Cali Cafe and Bar posted a promotion of $12.90 nett for an American Breakfast Buffet. Why not grabbed the chance when it is just near at our home?

Around 7am we were already there. We ate as if no sun will rise on us for tomorrow. Haha. Overflowing bread, cheese, crispy bacon, sausages, and my favorite...their scrambled egg. We stay there for 3 hours. Eat-rest-eat-rest, haha! Even it is Sunday, the place is so
serene and relaxing. 

When Abbey went to the counter for payment. The boy behind the counter told us that it costs $20.00. He is not aware of the promotion posted in their facebook page. Too bad! But hey, bring your children here. Child eats for free. :) 

Till next time Cali Cafe.

pepper
2 eggs 
1 cup all purpose flour
1 pack Mama Sita’s Sweet and Sour Mix

Rinse the fish fillets. Put cracked pepper and leave for 3 hours. Beat egg and put 1 teaspoon salt and marinate the fish for 15 minutes. On separate plate, put a salt and pepper to the flour. Get the fish fillet and cover it with seasoned flour. Deep fry until golden brown. 


in 3/4 water, dissolve the Mama Sita’s Sweet and Sour Mix. Saute the ginger followed by garlic and onion. Pour in the dissolved mix and stir until thickened. Pour over the fried fish fillet. 



VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma told me that she'll be cooking for our dinner. And she asked me how to cook sweet and sour fish fillet. She did it. As usual she's nervous what would be the taste and how will I react. It turned out to be good; it has less sauce though. The fillet is well coated and tasty. It goes well with the sauce and hot rice.
