Cantonese stew beef

Cooked this dish. Recipe from http://www.rasamalaysia.com. It has many recipes which you can try.

The only difference in the cooking method of this is I do not brown the beef first. In my previous attempts at stew beef, I browned the beef. Again, hope it turns out well too. I liked the idea of putting the beancurd stick in this dish. This is so hong long style.

This dish is cooked and served during winter when the temperature is low. Luckily, it is raining the whole day today which makes it perfect to eat this.

Spices addition

Added two more spice bottle to my collection. Cardamon and white pepper seeds. So now my cupboard looks full.

Salted vegetable duck soup

Wanted to order this soup on a Sunday night dinner, but the stall sells other soups other than this. So I decided to cook it myself. I got the recipe from http://www.noobcook.com. So I followed the recipe, including the recommendation. Just hope it tastes nice.

The duck part is difficult to tackle. Had to chop the duck into smaller pieces and remove the skin and fats. Otherwise, the soup will turn out too oily. Luckily, I have my domestic helper to help me.
