Lemon Chicken (檸檬雞) Recipe

Adapted from Chinese Lemon Chicken by Bobby (BlogChef.net) :) Thanks for a great recipe!

 Lemon chicken is a classical favourite when it comes to Chinese cuisine. Even though it's called lemon chicken, the sourness of the lemon is never overpowering and it complements the sweet flavour well. I've tried many different versions of lemon chicken-- some of which are too sour, or just taste plain weird. To be very honest, I did a lot of adjustment with the sauce after making the lemon sauce. Like with any recipe, it's important to taste the sauce before adding it to the chicken, otherwise you might ruin the whole thing, right?

Japanese Curry with Chicken Katsu (チキンカツカレーライス) Recipe

And the sweet scent of curry sweeps the room, so very delicious...

Japanese curry is bomb :D! It tends to be a bit thicker than curries from other cultures. It also tends to be more on the fragrant and sweet side, rather than awesomely spicy. In fact, a lot of the time, Japanese curry comes in premade cubes that you can buy at the local grocery store. Those tastes pretty good, but something about homemade is always better, right? In addition, you can adjust the taste to your liking. In other words, the salt or spice level is all up to your taste! Though those premade cubes really do save a lot of trouble, but if you don’t buy them on sale, it’s definitely more costly. Cost for time? Convenience for taste? Sometimes, it’s hard to decide…. If it’s cost versus time, as a student, I shouldn’t even be eating curry then!

Chicken Alfredo Pasta Recipe

I make this quite often actually, sometimes I use more fatty ingredients if I'm feeling fat... Definitely taste the recipe before you add the pasta in, because once the pasta's in, there's no turning back!

So this is the first recipe that I took a picture of… It’s not that I never made anything before this, it’s just that I happened to start using my new camera around this time. In any case, this recipe was something adapted from a long while ago. I don’t even remember where I got it from or what the original recipe was. There’s a lot of substituting going on here due to my lack of ingredients, being a poor student… But it turned out pretty good. Just keep in mind that the recipe itself is very make-shift… as I don’t really follow the recipe to a T. So make adjustments where necessary! There’s your disclaimer right there :P !
